RBI 2004 Teams!!!

[mhowie]

Hey, Jerry.  A few nitpicks from playing a Twins Yankees game and looking at the ratings:

while pitching speed ratings are off the charts (many pitchers throw much harder than even Juan Berenguer in the original, although I may just be complaining because I was caught off guard by a 102 MPH fastball from Mussina).

Great job overall on the ROM, though; thanks for all your hard work!

And Schilling throwing 107 MPH!!!  Looks like a -10 MPH is in order and the speed will be pretty close to reality.

The original ROM that strted this thread is fairly realistic.

[Dryden]

For the earlier comment about player speed, most of it is fairly based on reputation - but you also have to make a choice.  As a practical matter, speed in RBI comes into play in 2 places - steals, and extra base hits.  Jeff Bagwell is slow as molasses, but steals bases well in real life, because he's a smart guy about when he does it.  Scott Rolen isn't fast, but is well-known for his ability to take extra bases all over the place when running because of his heads-up play.  Meanwhile, Vlad is faster than fuck, but gets thrown out stealing all the time because he has no clue what he's doing on the bases and doesn't pay attention.

What does this all mean?  Use values that make sense to you.  Mickey Mantle was regarded as the fastest player in the AL for many, many years, but you wouldn't know it from his stolen base totals.

yeah realistic......

for some reason i don't remember Bonds being a righty before the all-star break.
...but that's just me.

[Scroope]

Yeah, I can fix it.  When I get the time. I don't really care too much about the all star teams though.

I'm a little late to the party, but these ROMs are great!  I just started playing ROMs again after a few years off, and I'm really enjoying these.  Thanks for the hard work, gentlemen.

[Scroope]

No problem.  Love to play you in a game on my ROM sometime.

Bump and I finally got both Scroope and Jerry's ROMs on the ROMs page

[Sheff]

This is Scroope with a new name after a year or two off the board too I believe.  Anyone interested in getting a ROM like this together for this years playoff teams (2006).  I could work on one, but won't have the time to get it together in a day like I did last time.  If someone else is going to make one, I wouldn't want to start and waste my time if they finish it first.

Also, I have seen that there are ways to import lists of stats into Nightwulf's editor now without having to type each players stats individually into the editor.  I tried playing with the special files, but they keep opening in an IE browser and not loading back in after I play with the stats.  If someone could direct me to a place where I can find directions.  I would appreciate it. 

Last, Gantry if you could connect me with my old username and password (Scroope),  I would appreciate it.  I no longer use the same email address, but I use the one that I contacted you with several months ago to remove my full name off of a particular message. 

Thanks to anyone who helps with any of this.
