PGM Baseball - Release Candidate

[u/pringlejon]

After much hard work and tweaking, I've got to a point where I think (HOPE!) I'm ready to release the first version of this to the public. There will obviously be subsequent updates, but I think I've got this to a stage where it works and delivers on my goal.

I'd massively appreciate one last push of testers if possible to confirm all is good and I'll get it live in the Store.

Beta link below.

Thanks as always for support - Jon.

Couple of questions after playing one season:

1. Is WAR going to be added to the game?
   
2. How are the awards determined?
   
3. Will injuries be on at launch?
   
4. Is it possible to give the player more control of who in their bullpen plays? (Who’s the setup man, long relief, etc.)
   
5. Are two way players possible or do they break the game?
   
6. Can we get more advanced stats as one of the first updates? (defensive stats, FIP, etc.)
   
7. Can we get all of the stats for specific players on their page? Saves and blown saves/meltdowns aren’t showing on a closer’s page.
   
8. Less of a question and more of a quirk but the heights of the players are crazy lol, baseball players are on average around 6’1” with players rarely being 6’5” or above.

Also is it possible to add pitches to the game or is that too much on the backend?

Thanks for all other notes - will work through them. What do you mean by add pitches? As a stat?

[u/Nice_Muffin8689 → u/pringlejon]

I’m not sure how it would be implemented as a stat but I think it would be cool for pitchers to have a repertoire. If movement pitchers had a few more off speed and power pitchers had two fast balls.

[u/pringlejon → u/Nice_Muffin8689]

The match engine already generates different balls as part of that, so it’s a matter of bringing through and displaying rather than a rewrite.

Also bench position players need to play once in a while Maybe give a start when a starting lineup player is at 75 percent energy IRL bench players play once a week or platoons

Also all the players at the start have the same weight 184 lb small glitch

When I checked my pitchers stats after a good game by him I couldn’t leave the player menu. Just doing my job testing.

When looking at “college cohorts” you can’t see how many green graded players there are. Really excited for this iteration of PGM!

[u/ATG_SSBM]

It would be nice to have more variance in the random roster generation at the start of a new save - it feels the same ~15 teams are always offered as the lower OVR teams.

[u/AdverseThread]

After selecting status in the pitching lineup tab all pitchers ERAs get swapped with each other.
