Statistics Detail - What do you use?

SlyBelle · 06-13-2009, 12:37 PM

I've always wondered what to set a couple of the statistic details options to, I would like to know what you guys usually do and why? Performance? Disk Space? Stats Tracked not thst important? etc.

- Keep Career L/R Stats - All or Just Majors
- Keep Career Fielding Stats - All or Just Majors
- Keep Career Postseason Stats - All or Just Majors

- Stats Detail - Low, Normal, High, Very High

* Looks like by default Majors set to Very High but all minors set to normal
** Any ideas as to what stats are lost as you select an option?

Thoughts?

I usually keep L/R Splits and Postseason Stats for Majors only, but keep Fielding Stats for both Minors and Majors. I like to see how good a defensive player someone is before bringing them up from the Minors, but I dont really care about their minor league postseason stats or their L/R splits in the Minors.

As far as Stats detail, I fluctuate between very high and high. Although I love stats, I still think there are many things in the Very High details that I never even look at, however I like the idea of pitcher vs batter stats that very high details give. Im still on the fence about that one. For minor leagues, I usually leave it at normal stats detail

I do very high detail, keep all spilts and all fielding, but MLB only for post season

I like to keep track of everything, and use the recent numbers for placement now, and like to see how they have progressed

sadly there is a bug and fielding seems to get reset reguardless

I do exactly this.

What's the difference between Very high detail, high detail, normal detail, and low detail? Would low detail still keep track of the basics (batting average, HR, RBI, W-L, ERA, K)?

This is also a good question, and at least through the Version 8 manual there was no good answer. I found out the hard way that you need either High or Very High in order to get Spring Training statistics, and even then they're so badly arranged as to be not-too-useful (through Version 9).

EDIT: Sorry, didn't answer your question. Low will give you the basics, at least during the regular season.

Thanks everybody for your responses. It would be helpful to know what stats are available at each level. Maybe the developer can chime in when they have a free moment.

Its in the manual. About halfway down.

OOTP Baseball Manual - Options Page

That reads as though 'Normal' will capture Spring Training statistics. If so, that's a change in Version 10.

Aytumious · 06-14-2009, 05:09 PM

The wording is the same in the OOTP 9 manual, so who knows. I always play on high. Very high seems like overkill, but I like having the additional splits that come up when I play the games out just for the immersion factor.

Mass select FTW by the way. I have a bunch of people I want to release in my low minors and I have to go through every player one by one. Barf. There are also a couple thousand free agents I'd like to delete in my current league.

Aytumious · 06-14-2009, 05:15 PM

Actually, I had a save in OOTP 9 that was right at the beginning of spring training. I tried it with both normal and high settings and they both record ST stats. I switched to low and the stats were not recorded, so it seems the manual is correct.

SlyBelle · 06-14-2009, 06:02 PM

Now that I see what each level of detail does, is the obvious downside to more detail stats is size of save files and performance of simming? Just trying to see what the downside would be with going full stats.

Good to hear. I'm switching to 'normal' immediately. Thank you for checking this out.

There is an option to delete all of the free agents on the Free Agents screen.

At least in OOTP9 it was there. Down at the bottom of the screen I think.

Use higher than Normal Stats setting if you want your Scores and Box Scores to contain everything.

Home Runs are not listed on the Scoreboard and Schedule Screen if you don't use High Details or higher.

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
