Long term league status

TNCubsFan · 02-06-2007, 01:53 PM

The testers who are looking at long term playability, are they seeing leagues evolve pitching heavy by the 20th year? I ran a bucketfull of leagues trying to get the aging curve right in 2006, for me. All but one of the leagues by the 25th year had team ERA's in the mid twos. The wost teams would be in the low threes.

Anything that could be shared would be appreciated.

Also the quality of the talent in the drafts tended to fall off as the league aged. Is this improved somewhat?

Thanks

Pretty sure The Big Bang is dead (or in the process of dying...), where "The Big Bang" is defined as the leagues initial talent being better than than follow-on players.

Aging I won't touch, there are trained experts looking at this right now, and I wont speak for them.

I am happy to report that the average talent in a league stays very stable over time, which results in very stable league stats. For example, in my long term tests (50+ seasons) a 16-team non-dh league fluctuated nicely between .250 and .270 in AVG and between 3.80 and 4.50 in ERA. Just like real life
