the gizmo Joined: 02/07/2013 Posts: 574 Inactive | Took a catcher of mine about 250 games to get his little c Counter sounds nice but would take away from some of the uncertainty of moving players around and would need one for each position eg- a 3B would most likely develop faster at first compared to catching |

lephio Joined: 10/25/2013 Posts: 88 Inactive | the point is that we can't "see" the players, if they are really earning position or not. i mean if a player is "doing good", i can see it day by day. in our simulation we don't know if he's getting better in a position gradually or not.. it just happen one day! ^_^ i like the idea of mistery, but.. maybe we should know something little more about that since we "can't see" our players playing? |

MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive | When a player learns a position well enough, they get the little letter for that fielding spot (and then the capital letters when the position is fully learned). I'm fairly sure I saw Steve say somewhere that it isn't a magical fielding pop, though; it's a gradual build-up. If you're playing a guy at a position, he's learning it and gains incremental skills at it even if it doesn't show the position yet. When the little letters finally appear for the position, he's only minutely better than the previous day. And the day after playing the position again, he'll be minutely better yet again. That's the way I understand it anyway. |
