Player Profiles
The player profile window, shown below, pulls together most of
the statistics and ratings for a player into one place. From just
about anywhere in the game, you can double-click on the name of a
player to display his profile. And the profile window includes a
list of related players so you can quickly cycle through and
compare the players on a team, in a lineup, on a free agent list,
or in some other group.
The title bar of the profile window shows the player's year,
full name, primary position, age, batting hand and type, and
throwing hand.
The list box in the upper-left corner lets you cycle through the
players in this group (left arrow for previous, right arrow for
next, drop down list to select a specific player).
The Show combined stats check box is activated whenever a player
appeared on more than one team in your DMB season. When checked,
the profile shows his overall stats; when unchecked, it shows his
stats for his current team.
The season stage pulldown allows you to browse through a players
stats for the pre-season, regular season, and each round of the
post season.
The main portion of this window is a series of five tabs that
show batting, pitching, fielding, status and games started
information for the player. We'll describe each of these in
turn.
Batting tab
The batting tab includes two sets of batting statistics (primary
and secondary) for real-life, the DMB season or series to date, and
(if you're requesting this profile during a game) the current game.
In addition, the batter's performance against left- and
right-handed pitching is also shown. At the bottom is a complete
summary of the batter's offensive and defensive ratings.
Pitching tab
The pitching tab includes five sets of pitching statistics
(primary, secondary, as a starter, as a reliever, and opposing
batter statistics) for real-life, the DMB season or series to date,
and (if you're requesting this profile during a game) the current
game. In addition, the pitcher's performance against left- and
right-handed batters is shown. At the bottom is a complete summary
of the pitchers's pitching ratings.
Fielding tab
The fielding tab includes fielding statistics for real-life, the
DMB season or series to date, and (if you're requesting this
profile during a game) the current game. At the bottom is a
complete summary of the batter's offensive and defensive
ratings.
Status tab
The status tab includes usage information (number of pitches
thrown or batters faced as a catcher in recent days), an injury
report, and the player's injury and contract information. At the
bottom is a complete summary of the player's offensive and
defensive ratings.
Starts tab
The starts tab shows games started by position against left- and
right-handed pitchers for both real life and your DMB season. At
the bottom is a complete summary of the player's offensive and
defensive ratings.
