Team stat comparisons

[nightwulf]

Another product of number-crunching out of boredom, but I found this kinda interesting. Following is the team average for BA, HR, (neither of which matters in gameplay, but included for the hell of it), Contact, Power, and Speed. All 12 batters on each team were used in figuring the numbers. I can't believe my Cardinals weren't on top in speed; stupid bench.

NES teams:

  Team          Avg  HR  Cnt Power Speed
  California    .264 15  22  848   128
  Boston        .273 16  22  840   126
  Detroit       .284 17  20  849   126
  Minnesota     .266 15  22  817   127
  Houston       .273 10  22  785   133
  New York      .276 10  21  799   128
  St. Louis     .277  7  23  793   131
  San Francisco .278 14  18  823   126
  AL All-stars  .309 23  14  825   127
  NL All-stars  .309 23  15  825   133


Arcade teams:

  Team           Avg  HR  Cnt Power Speed
  Oakland        .288 28  23  830   130
  Houston        .300 16  22  775   133
  Atlanta        .297 28  22  846   129
  St. Louis      .330 22  15  774   132
  Chicago        .308 29  19  834   129
  Los Angeles    .315 22  15  791   134
  San Francisco .317 27  15  818   131
  Cincinnati     .323 25  15  807   133
  Boston         .334 30  12  819   128
  New York       .330 35  16  852   126


Edit: sorry, that's about as good as the tables are gonna line up. Maybe it's my browser, maybe YaBB, I dunno. *shrug*

How did you factor in the "groundball" attribute?  Was it equal to 0 power?

[nightwulf]

There is no groundball attribute. Power is a 2-byte field (from 0-65535). Whoever came up with that theory evidently hadn't seen how word values are commonly stored in assembler. In 6502 anyway. Not trying to insult them; I probably would've made the same mistake had I not been a teenage nerd with an Apple.

Maybe you could find the stats of the actual teams people use. Like, Larry Herndon doesn't really count because almost everyone subs him. Just a thought.

Nightwolf= RBI badass !!!!!!!

So if there's no groundball attribute, are all the power ratings listed on this site wrong?

[nightwulf]

Kinda. Take the power listed for any given player, and add 768. That's the correct power. Those who had the alleged "groundball attribute" have figures below 768.

Correct power figures for the NES players can be seen here.
