HOF Monitor for catchers

Hal_10000 · 03-19-2017, 08:16 AM

Hi. I had another question about the HOF monitor. I have my own scripts that calculate these stats and it's showing some disagreement on the subject of catchers. I've tried tracking it down and it seems to come down to the bonuses catchers get at 1200 G, 1400 G, 1600 and 1800 G played. Does OOTP dole out the bonuses differently? Does it use starts or innings played? Thanks. Just trying to figure out if *I'm* doing something wrong.

has the equation changed over time at all? that is somethign that could account for deviation.

make sure it's been consistent its history.

because it's a predictive tool, it should be adjusted over time. how/who gets voted in changes over time. it's human's perceptions it is trying to predict... not whether they are deserving of the HoF. (intention of the equation is to predict -- not necessariyl the same thing as deserve)

it's an old equation at this point... people don't vote for hof'ers the same as they did decades ago.
