Small Complaint Regarding History

[pine_marten]

On the yearly team history pages, fielding stats are listed without reference to the positions at which they earned those stats. The lack of context makes the whole section kinda not very useful.

History -> Teams -> select a team -> select a year in the left-hand column.

Is there a different section of the forum I should post this in?

Hi Pine, you're in the right place. We're just working to get caught up. Whenever a patch gets released, a jillion people post, and there's not many people reviewing these things.

OK, I see what you mean, but what do you think should be done? Perhaps some way of breaking out rows for each player at each position? Like this? (No idea if this is possible, just brainstorming.)

Tim Sharp (Total) 35 55 77 (or whatever)
Tim Sharp (SS) 22 51 33
Tim Sharp (2B) 13 4 44

Whaddya think?

I don't even think a "total" is necessary, except maybe for the entire team. Fielding totals really don't translate from position to position. Actually, the way Cato and baseball-reference do it is like this:

Catchers     G   PO    A   E   DP   FP   PB

...and so on.

Thanks Syd, great info.

This has been logged as TT # 2146.

Thanks,

This is an excellent idea, but it doesn't look like Markus is going to have a chance to add this in a patch. We have added it to the list of planned changes for the next full version of the game.

Sorry that it won't happen sooner, but I hope you understand.

Thanks,

Steve
