If you want to target CG rate, try this:

1. Start OOTP

2. At the bottom of the screen select Settings

3. Select Troubleshooting

4. Open folder containing file 'app.cfg' & 'engine.cfg'

5. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HERE.

Right click on engine.cfg and select "open with".

YOU MUST UNCHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS "always use this app to open .cfg files"

Select Notepad to open the file.

6. Scroll down to the bottom of the file. There are these two entries:

HISTORICAL_SP_STAMINA_CALCULATION_IPGS_WEIGHT
100

HISTORICAL_SP_STAMINA_CALCULATION_CGP_WEIGHT
50

7. This is how the game defaults the balance between IPouts per GS and CG percentage. You can see that it is weighted twice as much toward IPouts epr GS by default. You will get the best pitching results and balance between SP and RP if you change the CG weight to 1 instead of 50.

However, this is not what you are asking for. You want more CG.

To get more CG, change the IPGS Weight to 1 (you can simply delete the zeros from the 100, you do not need to move the position of the 1).

Then change the CGP Weight to 100 instead of 50.

8. When you have finished the edits go to File and select SAVE.

DO NOT SELECT SAVE AS



When you start a new season or a new league the Modifiers will completely target CG percentage for the season. You will get accurate CG results.

I think the rule for CG has changed historically.

Consider that in 1903 that there were more CG than Wins. Is it really practical to target throwing a CG over putting in a PH to try to win the game?
