Rasnell's Bugs - Leadoff Selection AI Incorrect

[battists]

Starting a new thread for rasnell to break out his issues into individual threads:

In three examples, after seeing the best contact and power combos are in the middle of the lineup, there was still a 90 contact, 80 eye, 100 steal available for leadoff and the AI selected a 45 contact, 15 eye, 80 steal for the leadoff position. Something is very wrong in what the AI is being told to look at in selecting the leadoff hitter. (I accounted for fielding, positions and gave benefit of the doubt to whom the AI would want defensively; still doesn't check out and is very wrong).

This is why I don't like to open threads for other people.

Has anyone else seen this issue? I haven't really been able to replicate it, and unless I can get some more specific details and comparisons, I don't really have anything to go to Markus with...

Thanks,

I'll check my league out in a bit... I see some silly stuff occasionally but nothing that bad.

This is all I found... and actually incorporates both problems (my looking at ratings instead of stats)...

Everything else kind of worked okay... there was instances open for interpretation of course.



Tunwell is a better candidate for leadoff... and Amies simply isn't getting the job done. A shakeup in their lineup is needed, but the computer won't do it.

I turned scouts off for this.

Amies simply isn't getting the job done.

C'mon...he's the best combination of speed and crappy OBP that's available on that team. Works perfectly fine.

Not to mention Adams probably should be hitting 2nd behind Tunwell. Maybe 3rd depending on some of the other guys we can't see ratings for.

2nd on stats alone though.

Guys, I just haven't seen enough evidence of a systemic problem with AI leadoff hitter choice yet to log this as a bug. There's some behind-the-scenes discussion on it as well, but for now I'm closing this issue out...

Thanks,

Steve
