Players: Real-life Statistics
When you choose to modify a player, you can change any of the
real-life statistics for that player.
It's important to note that changing a player's real-life
statistics DOES NOT affect his
performance in your DMB games. These statistics are used only for
display and reporting purposes. To change a player's performance,
you must modify his event table
and/or his ratings.
You use the following tabbed window to modify the real-life
statistics for a player:
There are six categories of real-life statistics stored in the
DMB database: overall batting statistics, batting splits (versus
left- and right-handed pitchers), overall pitching statistics,
pitching splits (versus left- and right-handed batters), fielding
statistics (by position), and games started at each position versus
left- and right-handed batters.
Most of the statistics are self-explanatory (see the Glossary
for an explanation of anything you're not sure about), so we won't
include an image of each of these tabs here. Here are a few
tips:
-
DMB does not store real-life hitting
streak information, so these items are disabled on the
batting stats tab
-
On the pitching statistics tab, you enter innings in two parts.
Whole innings go into the Innings field
and fractional innings go into the Fractions field. For example, if a relief pitcher
threw sixty-seven and two thirds innings, enter 67 Innings and 2
fractions.
-
Defensive innings are entered the same
way on the fielding tab as described in the previous bullet.
-
The information on the games started tab is used by the manager profile
generator to match real-life playing time. If you don't plan to use
that feature, you don't need to enter games started by position for
your players.
