<p>Cslane: /* Changes and Additions for Version 7.1 */</p> <hr /> <div>=== Changes and Additions for Version 7.1 ===<br /> <br /> ==== General ====<br /> This update carries forward our commitment to bring negro league player sim performances closer to the level of nuance possible for other players in MLB history.

Home/Road stats are complete. Left/Right stats are partial, but we can use previously-developed NSB algorithms to model/project these partials to realistic full-season scenarios. Home/road stats for the Negro Leagues introduce a new challenge to our game because so many games were of the &quot;barnstorming&quot; type, i.e., games played at parks across the country where one side would be arbitrarily selected as the &quot;home&quot; team. For this reason, we have researched the ''primary site'' for a player's &quot;home&quot; games and the percentage of play at that venue. This allows us to make realistic park adjustments to player stats. This data is shown on the splits tabs in the database. Behind this seemingly small enhancement lies an ambitious set of new coding initiatives to determine ball park factors for the many, many parks where Negro League games were played. These factors will also be shown on the home split side of the database displays (see image below). As research unfolds, we will be able to further refine park factors and player stats for the years 1920 - 1936. The work is ongoing. <br /> # '''Home/Road displays have been reversed in the reports''' to display the addition of the primary home site in an appealing manner.<br /> # '''More stat totals for Negro League Players'''.

This means that a considerable number of players have been moved back into the 1910-1919 pool, e.g. Oscar Charleston, even though their first available season dates from 1920.

After monitoring the performances of pitchers in those early years, we decided on this slight change in order to compensate for the fact that walks at that time were considered undesirable outcomes for batters, and &quot;errors&quot; of a sort for pitchers. Pitchers were expected to throw the ball such that batters could hit it. This philosophy gradually changed as the game matured. It's good to keep in mind also that prior to 1893 the mound was 55' from home plate, also affecting walks.</div>

<p>Cslane: /* What Should I Consider Before Using it? */</p> <hr /> <div>== Career Mode ==<br /> <br /> === What is Career Mode? ===<br /> Career mode refers to a player's career historical stat line deployed to create probabilities at game-time in the sim. The original NSB concept featured only itemized seasons for players, randomized anew with each new season, in order to simulate the ups and downs of player performance across the span of their careers. Beginning with Version 7.0, it is possible to draft a player in career mode (CAR for short) and use the CAR stat line for the duration of their contracted term. CAR mode comes with benefits and risks, and it's wise to understand them before deciding when to use it. We'll get to that, but first let's see how CAR works by looking at a typical player stat set in the Database Window. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-1.jpg|784px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> In this first example you see 3 stat lines for the pitcher: 1928, 1929, 1930. Below them, shaded in gray, is the Career (CAR) stat line. This line is a weighted representation of the pitcher's career stats set to a standard, in this case 225 Innings Pitched. The 225 IP standard ensures that you can use this pitcher up to 225 IP (plus the usual 5% leeway) or so without incurring the RPL penalty for overuse. <br /> <br /> Note: ''Pitchers used primarily in relief have their CAR lines set to a standard of 75 IP instead of 225 IP''. <br /> <br /> It's important to know how this stat line is created, so observe now Example 2.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-2.jpg|787px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> By expanding the selection to include ALL seasons (note the highlighted button) we can see that this pitcher also pitched a little in 1932. In regular mode, the 1932 stats are never drawn upon at game time. You would get either the 1928, 1929, or 1930 season when the pitcher was randomized. In CAR mode, however, all the historical stats matter, and they affect performance. So, it's important to know what's &quot;under the hood&quot; so to speak. <br /> <br /> The salary of a player also changes in CAR mode. If we scroll over to the far right of the screen we see the career PV (total player value), the amount on which his contracted salary will be based. This figure is not a simple average of seasonal player values but rather an assessment of the player's relative career worth set to 225 IP. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-3.jpg|268px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> CAR mode adds a little more complexity to player research and drafting, but ultimately makes our sim more flexible.<br /> <br /> === What Should I Consider Before Using it? ===<br /> # CAR mode uses splits and situational stats ''only if about 50% of a player's career has splits available.'' <br /> # CAR mode must be indicated on the draft card (see below). With the exception of Auxiliary Roster call-ups, the draft is the only opportunity to put a player in CAR mode.<br /> # ''Once drafted a player remains in CAR mode for the duration of his contract.'' Contract duration is unaffected by CAR mode. For example, a player can be signed for multiple seasons, released on waivers, have his contract renegotiated or bought out, just as in regular mode. <br /> # The CAR stat line itself does not adjust on screen when you click the adjustment buttons because, in effect, a CAR stat line removes a player from the park and seasonal norms and put him into an alternate adjustment &quot;universe&quot; determined at game time. While you can't see adjustments for the CAR line you can see them for itemized seasons and this will give you a reasonably good idea how the adjustments are made.<br /> # CAR mode can make many expensive players more affordable.<br /> # CAR mode offers you the chance to use part-time (bench) players as starters. <br /> # CAR mode mitigates against seasonal gyrations in performance.<br /> # Since CAR mode uses career defensive stats, position players will typically be able to play at more positions, eliminating in many cases the need for &quot;drag effects&quot; when players are used out of position.<br /> # Most importantly, in line with our commitment to full integration, CAR mode allows us to use Negro League players as full-time players and not relegate them mostly to the so-called odds and ends pools (OEB,OEP)!<br /> <br /> === How do I Put a Player in Career Mode? ===<br /> <br /> ====Via Draft====<br /> When filling out your draft card, note the column header CAR. It's a &quot;hot&quot; or clickable column and you can toggle player into career mode once he's on your card. When in CAR mode, the 'TM' symbol appends to the player's name. In the following example, Dennis Leonard has been toggled into CAR mode. When drafted, the sim will access a separate career database to generate his probabilities. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-4.jpg|800px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> ====Via Auxiliary Call-Ups====<br /> You can also elect to place a player in Career Mode when you call him up from the Auxiliary Roster. After you select and sign the player to a short or long term contract, the CAR button will activate, allowing you to select CAR mode.</div>

<p>Cslane: /* Handling Negro League Players */</p> <hr /> <div>== Handling Negro League Players ==<br /> <br /> Version 7.0 adds every stat line for every player between 1920 - 1948 for the <br /> seven [[League Abbrev|Negro Leagues recognized by MLB as major leagues]]. Even though we won't be simulating Negro league Teams as such due to their erratic and sparse schedules, adding every player's stats (1) makes possible a complete league normalization profile for accurate adjustments, and (2) offers the possibility of accurate career (CAR) stats for reliable [[Career Mode|Career Mode]] simulations. The NSB Custom League Designer allows the use Negro League players in teams that you design. Simply search for them by the cities they played in. <br /> <br /> === Modeling Missing Stats ===<br /> Negro League stats have not been as thoroughly researched as conventional MLB stats. This work is ongoing, and painstakingly slow, built from game level up by the use of newspaper box scores. Batter's strike outs, and often pitcher's home runs allowed, are unavailable. And there are many seasons for which no defensive stats exist. So we created a modeling technique based on player tendencies and the stats we have. If we couldn't model missing stats based on adjacent seasons, we used the AL/NL tendencies for that year to create a baseline true to the era. <br /> <br /> Many photos are missing, too, although a surprising number are available, and we have included all we could find.<br /> <br /> During the tenure of the Negro Leagues there were several teams comprised of predominantly Cuban players who did not have a home park. They were &quot;barnstorming&quot; teams, or traveling teams, and played only in their opponent's parks. The Cuban Stars East (CSE) and Cuban Stars West (CSW) were the most notorious barnstormers.<br /> <br /> === Philosophy ===<br /> Our guiding philosophy was &quot;full integration&quot; since this is precisely what was missing in segregated baseball. Full integration means that we are not offering a &quot;special&quot; way of including these players, like a supplemental draft or minor league system, for example. We wanted them to be treated like all other players as a matter of justice. Therefore they are part of any drafting pool spanning the years 1920 - 1948, priced the same as all other players. We do not treat them as AAA, or AA, that is, as if they were a level or two down from MLB class players with performance penalties. Please understand this as a philosophical decision. While it's true that many of these players would not have been of sufficient quality to play in MLB at the time, we are choosing not to adjudicate this difference and simply let them play with the stats they accrued during their careers. After all, some of them would have outperformed many of their white counterparts, too. We have already crossed this bridge by including white players in the early decades of MLB, many of whom would be unable to play competitively in today's game. We include them without question. <br /> <br /> Now, the choice for &quot;full integration&quot; means that some of our leagues will have no access to them on account of the way they are designed--for example, our Dead Ball leagues or a league like Modern Times, which uses only players debuting from 1950 onwards.<br /> <br /> === How Can I Tell if Someone Played in the Negro Leagues? ===<br /> You will see a superscript '1' appended to the player's name when researching draft pools, waiver wire, and the Auxiliary Roster. Once a player reaches your team, the '1' no longer shows. We use it to make Negro League Players easily recognizable. The following example shows an Auxiliary Roster stocked with Negro Leaguers.<br /> <br /> [[File:negro-1.JPG|401px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> When researching in the database Negro League players are also detectable by their league (and sometimes city) abbreviations. <br /> <br /> * NN1 - Negro National League I (1920 - 1931)<br /> * NN2 - Negro National League II (1933 - 1948) <br /> * NAL - Negro American League (1937 - 1948)<br /> * ECL - Eastern Colored League (1923 - 1928)<br /> * NSL - Negro Southern League (1932)<br /> * EWL - East West League (1932) <br /> * ANL - American Negro League (1929)<br /> <br /> === Advice for Drafting Negro Leaguers ===<br /> Because these players played far fewer official league games than their white counterparts, their seasonal stat totals are markedly lower. However, if you draft them in Career Mode you will have enough plate appearances to rely on them as position players. We recommend this! A good many of these players are prized draftees.</div>

<p>Cslane: /* What is Career Mode? */</p> <hr /> <div>== Career Mode ==<br /> <br /> === What is Career Mode? ===<br /> Career mode refers to a player's career historical stat line deployed to create probabilities at game-time in the sim. The original NSB concept featured only itemized seasons for players, randomized anew with each new season, in order to simulate the ups and downs of player performance across the span of their careers. Beginning with Version 7.0, it is possible to draft a player in career mode (CAR for short) and use the CAR stat line for the duration of their contracted term. CAR mode comes with benefits and risks, and it's wise to understand them before deciding when to use it. We'll get to that, but first let's see how CAR works by looking at a typical player stat set in the Database Window. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-1.jpg|784px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> In this first example you see 3 stat lines for the pitcher: 1928, 1929, 1930. Below them, shaded in gray, is the Career (CAR) stat line. This line is a weighted representation of the pitcher's career stats set to a standard, in this case 225 Innings Pitched. The 225 IP standard ensures that you can use this pitcher up to 225 IP (plus the usual 5% leeway) or so without incurring the RPL penalty for overuse. <br /> <br /> Note: ''Pitchers used primarily in relief have their CAR lines set to a standard of 75 IP instead of 225 IP''. <br /> <br /> It's important to know how this stat line is created, so observe now Example 2.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-2.jpg|787px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> By expanding the selection to include ALL seasons (note the highlighted button) we can see that this pitcher also pitched a little in 1932. In regular mode, the 1932 stats are never drawn upon at game time. You would get either the 1928, 1929, or 1930 season when the pitcher was randomized. In CAR mode, however, all the historical stats matter, and they affect performance. So, it's important to know what's &quot;under the hood&quot; so to speak. <br /> <br /> The salary of a player also changes in CAR mode. If we scroll over to the far right of the screen we see the career PV (total player value), the amount on which his contracted salary will be based. This figure is not a simple average of seasonal player values but rather an assessment of the player's relative career worth set to 225 IP. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-3.jpg|268px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> CAR mode adds a little more complexity to player research and drafting, but ultimately makes our sim more flexible.<br /> <br /> === What Should I Consider Before Using it? ===<br /> # CAR mode never uses splits and situational stats.

<p>Cslane: /* Go Through this Checklist If you are Having Trouble */</p> <hr /> <div>=== Go Through this Checklist If you are Having Trouble ===<br /> <br /> The most common upgrade issue seems to be the lingering presence of Version 6.5. The installer had to do some maneuvering to save your work from the previous version, and depending on your installation and configuration it may have been unable to fire up the uninstaller for Version 6.5, or you may have inadvertently declined the uninstall request when it was made, not knowing what it was. If so, the shortcut (desktop icon) might be pointing to the wrong version of the software. Right click the NSB icon, then select &quot;Properties&quot; from the popup menu. The target should end with &quot;Nostalgia Sim Baseball V7\nsb.exe&quot; If not, then you are loading up the older version, which ends at Build 213. <br /> <br /> If you installed V7.0 and get a &quot;registry entry missing&quot; message when accessing leagues, you should uninstall your leagues and reinstall them. Something happened in the set of steps you took that left you with missing registry &quot;handles&quot; for your leagues. If this works, you're done! Don't take any of the steps below. Otherwise, here are some more steps you can take: <br /> <br /> 1. ''Make sure Version 6.5 is uninstalled.'' To do this, go to Windows &quot;Settings&quot; (you can type &quot;Settings&quot; in the Windows search bar) and Select &quot;Apps.&quot; Look at the list and make sure that ONLY Nostalgia Sim Baseball 7 is installed. If earlier versions are on the list, uninstall them. This is a good time to check your MySQL Driver, too. In the same App list, verify that MySQL Connector/ODBC 8.0 is installed (Minimum Version 8.0.23) as well as well as Microsoft C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable. These are essential for running our software. <br /> <br /> Note: You can manually uninstall V6 by (a) removing the Folder '''C:\Program Files\Nostalgia Sim Baseball V6''' or '''C:\Program Files(x86)\Nostalgia Sim Baseball V6''' and (b) removing the Nostalgia Sim Baseball folder in your Data Directory. The data directory folder will look something like this: '''C:\Users\Craig\AppData\Roaming\Nostalgia Sim Baseball'''. DO NOT REMOVE THE FOLDER 'Nostalgia Sim Baseball V7' if it's there! Note: Windows will require you to have administrator status to remove a folder from the Program Files Directory. <br /> <br /> 2. ''Restart your PC, then run the Version 7 Clean Installation File'' you obtained from the website (https://www.nostalgiabaseball.com/resources/software). Upon a successful installation it's normal to see yourself as &quot;Guestxxxx.&quot; That simply means the registry entries that identify you have been cleared out by the installer. These entries will be re-inscribed when you install your leagues. You should see Build 1:1:1:1:1 atop the V7 Launch Window. If you see anything else, it's evidence that Version 6 has not been removed from your machine. <br /> <br /> 3. Inside the software, ''Click INSTALL my EXISTING LEAGUES'' from the Launch Window. Then select the &quot;Get My Code&quot; button and enter the email address you used when you registered at our website. A match will automatically retrieve your install code. You can then install your leagues.</div>

<p>Cslane: </p> <hr /> <div>=== Go Through this Checklist If you are Having Trouble ===<br /> <br /> The most common upgrade issue seems to be the lingering presence of Version 6.5. The installer had to do some maneuvering to save your work from the previous version, and depending on your installation and configuration, it may have been unable to fire up the uninstaller for Version 6.5, or you may have inadvertently declined the uninstall request when it was made. <br /> <br /> 1. ''Make sure Version 6.5 is uninstalled.'' To do this, go to Windows &quot;Settings&quot; (you can type &quot;Settings&quot; in the Windows search bar) and Select &quot;Apps.&quot; Look at the list and make sure that ONLY Nostalgia Sim Baseball 7 is installed. If earlier versions are on the list, uninstall them. This is a good time to check your MySQL Driver, too. In the same App list, verify that MySQL Connector/ODBC 8.0 is installed (Minimum Version 8.0.23) as well as well as Microsoft C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable. These are essential for running our software. <br /> <br /> Note: You can manually uninstall V6 by (a) removing the Folder '''C:\Program Files\Nostalgia Sim Baseball V6''' or '''C:\Program Files(x86)\Nostalgia Sim Baseball V6''' and (b) removing the Nostalgia Sim Baseball folder in your Data Directory. The data directory folder will look something like this: '''C:\Users\Craig\AppData\Roaming\Nostalgia Sim Baseball'''. DO NOT REMOVE THE FOLDER 'Nostalgia Sim Baseball V7' if it's there! Note: Windows will require you to have administrator status to remove a folder from the Program Files Directory. <br /> <br /> 2. Restart your PC, then run the Version 7 Clean Installation File you obtained from the website. Upon a successful installation it's normal to see yourself as &quot;Guestxxxx.&quot; That simply means the registry entries that identify you have been cleared out by the installer. These entries will be re-inscribed when you install your leagues. You should see Build 1:1:1:1:1 atop the V7 Launch Window. If you see anything else, it's evidence that Version 6 has not been removed from your machine. <br /> <br /> 3. Inside the software, Click the INSTALL my EXISTING LEAGUES button from the Launch Window. Then select the Get My Code button and enter the email address you used when you registered at our website. A match will automatically retrieve your install code. You can then install your leagues.</div>

<p>Cslane: /* Career Mode */</p> <hr /> <div>== Career Mode ==<br /> <br /> === What is Career Mode? ===<br /> Career mode refers to a player's career historical stat line deployed to create probabilities at game-time in the sim. The original NSB concept featured only itemized seasons for players, randomized anew with each new season, in order to simulate the ups and downs of player performance across the span of their careers. Beginning with Version 7.0, it is possible to draft a player in career mode (CAR for short) and use the CAR stat line for the duration of their contracted term. CAR mode comes with benefits and risks, and it's wise to understand them before deciding when to use it. We'll get to that, but first let's see how CAR works by looking at a typical player stat set in the Database Window. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-1.jpg|784px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> In this first example you see 3 stat lines for the pitcher: 1928, 1929, 1930. Below them, shaded in gray, is the Career (CAR) stat line. This line is a weighted representation of the pitcher's career stats set to a standard, in this case 225 Innings Pitched. The 225 IP standard ensures that you can use this pitcher up to 225 IP (plus the usual 5% leeway) or so without incurring the RPL penalty for overuse. <br /> <br /> Note: ''Pitchers used primarily in relief have their CAR lines set to a standard of 75 IP instead of 225 IP''. <br /> <br /> It's important to know how this stat line is created, so observe now Example 2.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-2.jpg|787px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> By expanding the selection to include ALL seasons (note the highlighted button) we can see that this pitcher also pitched a little in 1932. In regular mode, the 1932 stats are never drawn upon at game time. You would get either the 1928, 1929, or 1930 season when the pitcher was randomized. In CAR mode, however, all the historical stats matter, and they affect performance. So, it's important to know what's &quot;under the hood&quot; so to speak. <br /> <br /> The salary of a player also changes in CAR mode. If we scroll over to the far right of the screen we see the career TPV (total player value), the amount on which his contracted salary will be based. This figure is not a simple average of seasonal player values but rather an assessment of the player's relative career worth set to 225 IP. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-3.jpg|268px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> CAR mode adds a little more complexity to player research and drafting, but ultimately makes our sim more flexible.<br /> <br /> === What Should I Consider Before Using it? ===<br /> # CAR mode never uses splits and situational stats.

<p>Cslane: /* How do I Put a Player in Career Mode? */</p> <hr /> <div>== Career Mode ==<br /> <br /> === What is Career Mode? ===<br /> Career mode refers to a player's career historical stat line deployed to create probabilities at game-time in the sim. The original NSB concept featured only itemized seasons for players, randomized anew with each new season, in order to simulate the ups and downs of player performance across the span of their careers. Beginning with Version 7.0, it is possible to draft a player in career mode (CAR for short) and use the CAR stat line for the duration of their contracted term. CAR mode comes with benefits and risks, and it's wise to understand them before deciding when to use it. We'll get to that, but first let's see how CAR works by looking at a typical player stat set in the Database Window. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-1.jpg|784px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> In this first example you see 3 stat lines for the pitcher: 1928, 1929, 1930. Below them, shaded in gray, is the Career (CAR) stat line. This line is a weighted representation of the pitcher's career stats set to a standard, in this case 225 Innings Pitched. The 225 IP standard ensures that you can use this pitcher up to 225 IP (plus the usual 5% leeway) or so without incurring the RPL penalty for overuse. <br /> <br /> Note: ''Pitchers used primarily in relief have their CAR lines set to a standard of 75 IP instead of 225 IP''. <br /> <br /> It's important to know how this stat line is created, so observe now Example 2.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-2.jpg|787px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> By expanding the selection to include ALL seasons (note the highlighted button) we can see that this pitcher also pitched a little in 1932. In regular mode, the 1932 stats are never drawn upon at game time. You would get either the 1928, 1929, or 1930 season when the pitcher was randomized. In CAR mode, however, all the historical stats matter, and they affect performance. So, it's important to know what's &quot;under the hood&quot; so to speak. <br /> <br /> The salary of a player also changes in CAR mode. If we scroll over to the far right of the screen we see the career TPV (total player value), the amount on which his contracted salary will be based. This figure is not a simple average of seasonal player values but rather an assessment of the player's relative career worth set to 225 IP. <br /> <br /> [[File:car-example-3.jpg|268px|center|frameless]]<br /> <br /> CAR mode adds a little more complexity to player research and drafting, but ultimately makes our sim more flexible.<br /> <br /> === What Should I Consider Before Using it? ===<br /> # CAR mode never uses splits and situational stats.
