IFA Circle Jerk Thread

[Karl Hungus]

No fielders. Nice bats with some speed.

Meh crop of pitchers that draft. Nice rotation pieces at the top end on first glance, tho. After that its dogshit.

You can't see this, but a lot of these guys WILL be good fielders. They have good ratings but haven't developed positions yet. Seeing how common this is, we'll probably need to cut back on the bump to fielding in player generation (current WBL setting is 1.00).

Just wrapping up 2097- what is everyone wanting to see?

 

[Karl Hungus]

2097- top players

Whats the breakdown of origin? IFA? Draft? Discovery? @Karl Hungus

 

[Orlando]

Careful. There are current players on that list.

Good point. I don't think any of them are surprises, though. They were either top prospects or already in the top player list. But I took them down.

Give me a bit to come up with that.

 

[Karl Hungus]

@fignuts

After 10 years the top player list breaks down to be:

22 existing players from 2087 (lots of IFA/ discoveries)

14 drafted since 2087

1 scouting discovery

3 indy league (all pitchers)

 

[Karl Hungus]

Also the AI is so incredibly dumb. Two of the top 10 players were allowed to walk as mlfa's because they were blocked at the WBL level, lol. Plus there are so, so many terrible trades. It's pretty comical.

 

[fignuts]

The lone scouting discovery, to me, in 10 years time is rather interesting to me.

AI w/o a watchful eye does some pretty dumb shit. lol

 

[Karl Hungus]

Top 25 batter prospects:

16 drafted
9 discoveries

 

[Karl Hungus]

Top 25 pitching prospects:

18 drafted
7 discoveries

I signed Martinez as a MLFA... first yera he led league in OPS, second he was MVP.

AI is dumb. Thanks Indydevs.

 

[Karl Hungus]

So are we good, then? I will dial the bump to fielding ratings back to 1.125 but otherwise this seems to have gone well.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

@jdlikewhoa needs to agree not to QUIT

 

[jdlikewhoa]

@jdlikewhoa needs to agree not to QUIT

I won’t not quit.

 

[fignuts]

A jd sighting?

 

[Orlando]

Good with what?

 

[Karl Hungus]

Good with what?

The results. No one other than Figs really answered with what info they wanted to see.

 

[Wolfman21]

I couldn't honestly care. Just tell me what guidelines to go by and lets go. This shit has, apparently, been hammered on for years and its gonna make somewhere around 0 and 0.0 difference in my enjoyment of the league. Make the decision and lets roll

 

[Mr. Radpants]

How is the depth of the drafts? Is it markedly improved?

I didn't go too far down the pages, but these screenshots should cover the first couple of rounds for each year:

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Need screenshots in black and white like the site. These blues and greens are too confusing

 

[Orlando]

Looks about the same sans the defense you shared.

Is this you all's first draft in 21?

 

[hayvis]

So @Mr. Radpants - What is the system we're moving to? No troll, just interested.

 

[Yankee151]

Can we make sure Burkina Faso is added to player spawn

Federation Focus: Burkina Faso aiming for new stadium and Africa's first-ever pro baseball league

The French-speaking West African nation started playing baseball in 1993 and became the West African champion in 2019. The goal for the next four years is building a venue dedicated to baseball and softball, and establish the continent's first professional baseball league.

Abolish IFA won the vote in October

 

[fignuts]

Experiment for 2? 3? 4? SZN's. A forever change?

I think it's just for a season so the haves can go back to fucking the have nots up the bum for eternity.

Stop it.


It's forever. This is what all the simming into the future was about.

 

[doh]

Do the pro IFA still generate? (Like Calhau)

Abolish IFA won the vote in October

This was a rigged poll. Keeping IFA in some form had 5 votes and abolishing IFA had 5 votes.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Yep. I believe one of the top-20 players was an indy-league guy.

 

[hayvis]

Unlucky!

Shocking that you’re the one that messed up the vote.

Don’t trust the HAVE folks

Shocking that you’re the one that messed up the vote.

I like to help.

If you wanted to start a massive fight you could claim that NML isn't in the league anymore so his vote doesn't count. I don't approve of fighting though, so I suggest you keep cool about it and swallow your shit sandwich.

[Mr. Radpants]

We are killing discoveries also right? I think they are universally hated

 

[hayvis]

Contraversial!

 

[Soonerfan09]

No decisions have been made. Awaiting revote.

 

[Karl Hungus]

No.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Glad we're throwing ideas out NOW instead of, oh, I don't know, before the test sim.

Wat was his vote?

Abolish IFA.
