November 2024 update

Fixed Defensive Rating Bugs

We addressed several minor issues related to defensive ratings to ensure they work as intended:

  • Out-of-Position Penalties: The penalties for playing players out of position were slightly higher than intended. These have been corrected to align with the expected values. Most players will see only small adjustments unless they frequently play far outside their natural positions. Remember, players perform best in their natural positions, and permanent position changes can help if a player is consistently out of position.

  • Catchers at 3B: A bug allowed catchers to perform slightly better at 3B relative to other position penalties. This has been resolved.
  • Base-Stealing Penalties: The impact of batter-handedness on catcher throws during stolen base attempts was not being applied correctly. This issue has now been fixed.

These updates ensure the defensive system reflects the intended gameplay as described in the help pages.
