More 2 Way Player Oversights

So now that I got an SP and Position playing archetype to 99 and most of the bugs have been patched, I decided to actually try the 2 Way player thing. The first season I got called up to AAA after AA all star game like about every time and then to MLB in second week of August. I was number 1 in SP rotation and played SP every 5th game. The other 4 games I would be DH the game before and after I pitched and LF my other 2 non pitching games. I’m 99 on all 3 of the loadouts for SP, LF and DH. All through the playoffs and World Series I started as you would expect a number 1 pitcher to start. Winning game 1 and 5 in WS as SP.

Second year so far same thing as far as rotating between games. One major issue I see though is that the game considers me a SP first so I don’t show up on the batting leaderboards even though I lead the league in hits, BA, HR I show up on none of those lists. When looking at leaderboards, I only show up in pitching categories.

Next issue was the HR derby. I don’t get to participate even though I lead the league in HRs. In All Star game I am starting SP so I guess not considered a batter for the HR Derby. All these little things kind of break the whole immersion factor of being a one in a 100 years Babe Ruth type fenom.

Hopefully the game will let me win the batting title at end of season.

Announcers also just said in the game I’m in that I lead in 2 of the 3 triple crown categories. If I don’t get my batting average up I won’t win it. Yet I do have the best BA in both leagues! Grr

That’s how stats work in real life. If you don’t get enough at bats, you won’t show up on the BA and slugging leaderboards. You have to average at least 3.1 ABs per team game played. If you only bat in 3 out of 5 games, you’ll be under the threshold.
For a while, my guy also led the league in hits but didn’t show up on most hitting categories.

I’m batting in 4 out of 5 games. The 5th being a pitching game. Sometimes I even bat in the pitching games if against a NL team. I have 359 at bats right now in 96 games. So isn’t that more than 3 at bats per 1 game average? I bat 3rd in the order so I normally get at the least 4 AB a game up to 6 sometimes. I’m actually Yth on my team in total ABs so far this season.

Is that 359 at bats in 96 games that your player has hit in, or 96 games that your team has played? The rule is that at the end of the season you need to average 3.1 at bats per TEAM game, meaning 162 games, not the amount of games you hit in. That means to qualify for a batting title you must finish the season with at least 502 at bats. If you hit 4 out of every 5 games, that’s 129 or 130 games hitting for the season, depending on the rotation. If you’re the ace then you’re hitting in 129 games, and that’s assuming you get no days off on the bench. If you get exactly 4 at bats each game you hit in, that’s 518 at bats for the season, which is cutting it close to the minimum. A day off here and there, a few more games with only 3 at bats as opposed to 5 or more at bats, and you might fall under the 502 at bat minimum. Check the team games played and divide your at bats by that to see what you average per game. If you’re under 3.1, that’s the reason. If you’re above 3.1, then it’s a bug that they should fix.

Team has played 110 games so far this season. I have played all 110. 22 of them as pitcher, the other 88 as DH or LF. I have 413 ABs. The Leaderboards don’t have me listed under Batting Average, on base percentage, slug %, OPS, or batting WAR even though according to my player card stats I should be number 1 or in top 5 of all of those. I am listed on the hits, AB (20th in AL), doubles, triples, HRs, RBIs, Runs, and stolen bases lists.

So based on that , all the leaderboards that require 3.1 ABs per team games seem bugged when you are two way player with primary as a Starting Pitcher. Would you agree?

Like I said, if you’re above 3.1 per game then it’s a bug. The only thing I can think of is that the way they have it programmed, it’s only counting your ABs from your DH and LF games. If that’s the case then it’s a coding error.

So I started my 1st play through SP CF I got called up 3rd week of my 2nd season with braves I didn't show up on any batting stats. 2nd playthrough I did the opposite and got called up 1st year in August I lead the league in HR and RBI. The only way I have seen it possible to win awards on both sides is to be a position player and then a SP not sure on how many starts I will get through a full season im in 1st yr world series now.

I was able to win the batting title and cy young (and MVP). You wont be listed on the leaderboards, but should be listed as the leader in the Awards
