New Pitching rating system:
This is probably the last thing that I wanted to bring to my rosters, now MLB Pitchers have more realistics ratings because I've been developing in the last weeks a new way to rate each pitcher's pitches by basically comparing it's statistical results in the 2021 season to the league average for each pitch in order to determinate their control and movement. Of course, I'm also updating stamina and all the repertoires itself. (The statistics involved in the evaluation are RV, CWS%, Batting average against, Whip, among others).
The purpose of this is to get a more balanced game between the batting and pitching because pitchers were getting punished in my previous rosters when I simulated seasons (ERA and Batting Averages were in the sky), most games ended up with high scores and things wasn't too real. So far I already complete the re-rating of the entire pitching staff of the 10 teams that advanced at least to the Wildcard this season, and the results are being very good in terms of realistic stats!
Now I know this is a work still in progress and the rest of the teams of the league are waiting, but I wanted to release this today because I want you guys to test the new balanced of the game in my roster, and I also didn't want to wait two more weeks because the playoffs are midway and I wanted to keep in pace with the moment. Also this is a punish for our fav teams for not making the playoffs haha, no, but seriously it took some time to determinate the ratings with this method so please be patient here.
What' next:
- In a couple of weeks the rest of the MLB Teams should have their pitchers fully updated.
- I will do some final tweaks in the offensive ratings for all MLB Players as well.
- When all MLB Ratings are ready, I'll release the final roster of the season where I will put back the players out of the main roster for injuries/suspensions, and all teams should have their ideal lineups/rotations.
- Ratings for milb players will be adjusted and updated as well, but those changes are going to appear for the next season roster.
Enjoy it, I'll be glad to hear your feedbacks about the new pitching ratings.
