Can someone explain this to me? I'm using historical minors so everyone's stats are set to real life. Fielding stats are based on 3-year calc. I also have the game developing players not historical development. With these parameters, Chili shouldn't even be getting a whiff of the "tools of ignorance".
Any suggestions are appreciated. |
I honestly don't think you did anything wrong with your setup. I just tested a 1998 season with 3 year stats for fielding. The game is getting the catching rating for Chili based on him starting as a catcher for 4 games in the minor leagues during 1998. According to his real fielding stats in the OOTP database, he started 1 game in AAA and 3 games in AA.
What is interesting here is that these games do not show up for Chili's fielding stats on Baseball Reference when you access his minor league career.
