Defense is above average, 6th in errors, Eff = 6th, ZR = 4th. FIP on the above three is ever so slightly better than their ERA so I know defense has played a role, but not quite as badly as I'd expect with these performances.
Sliders are set to hook my starters slightly to the "Quick" side. Honestly, I barely see a difference when I've tweaked this setting more one way or the other, but I like to think it actually does something.
What strategy settings would you reco? Help a brother out. |
First of all, you're right; I should've been a little more empathetic. That's my fault, and I was only really reacting to the tone of the post you made and calling the game "Yahtzee" when it really isn't. There's just a lot of people on these forums that just go "This game/mode sucks!!" all the time, and I am just not a fan of that stuff, and I sometimes do over-react to that. With that said, I do genuinely feel your frustration, and I've had my fair share of bad rolls too this year and in the past (I have a history with Tom Hall and Satchel Paige). Bad rolls suck, no doubt, and I'm with ya on that one.
As far as defense goes, yeah, the defense might be a bit of an issue; not sure if you're playing infield shifts frequently or not, but I have that set all the way in my strategy settings, and while I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not, my defensive stats are kinda in the middle of the pack in High Diamond this week with Collins/Lajoie-Lindor/Morgan-Lajoie/Wagner around the horn on the IF and Aaron/Charleston/Parker in the OF.
Maybe infield shifts may be worth a shot to try to help the defense a bit potentially? I'll admit I'm not the most strategy-brained person out there, but that could help a bit. I also have Guard Lines about 3/4 of the way up, OF shifts a bit above the middle and Shift OF Depth around that same area too.
As far as pitching strats, I've relatively kept things in the middle and haven't really touched much, but maybe playing the matchups a bit more could help? I'm not sure.
Again, it's probably just some bad luck or something this year, and I know it sucks to say that, but that just might be the case for you. Hopefully some regression to the mean happens for ya and you can turn your season around.
