As a general rule Mogul takes a holistic look at their whole career and places the player in one of three broad categories: rookie/pre-peak, peak, decline/end career. You generally want players who: A. Have long careers where they consistently put up good numbers; B. Be in the sort of "meat" of when they played their best. Some players peak later (Dazzy Vance) and some peaked early (Albert Pujols). There's a general plateau area where you're close enough and you get their "predicted" all-star values, with some variance due to a built-in margin so that you get variability between different sims, since baseball is very random too. If you're not sure, safe bets are their 26-30 aged seasons. That's not to say players outside these years are unusuable; younger players unless they're prodigies will not perform to their absolute best compared with their seasoned counterparts, and older players will have degraded on their vital stats, including their ability to avoid injury (important since a player who broke his femur can't hit dingers for you). I run an ancient Stan Musial in the DH since his career runs from sometime between 10BCE to roughly the late Reagan administration, but his production was high even into his 40s so Mogul treats him kindly. But he's not gonna be an everyday player in the outfield.

Yes, that would be the basic gist. The length of the plateau, how high it is, how sharply the sides slope up and down will vary according to a player's career, but you're not going to get a career year at the precise same time they had their historical career years. Bonds is also a bit of an edge case because 98% of players start as rookies, get experience and mature, then fade as their body winds down but he had two peaks, one early and one greater at an age when people retire after having coasted a few seasons of mediocrity. So Mogul does weird things with him. The corollary is that selecting a player because he had that one year where the stars aligned and he won all the awards, then did nothing else of note, will backfire badly in Mogul. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Oct 29, 2021 |
