Better With Age

[BigBubba]

Well here is only the 2nd person I have seen play past 44 years of age the other was Cy Young but I dont have any Screen Shots. He wasn't doing to bad until the final month hurt his Avg on the year. Does anyone else have any screen shots of players play past 44 I would like to see them.

What year did you start this sim? What was his career peak(in the editor)?

[BigBubba]

Started in 1901 and not sure of any peaks because I have never looked I just let it go if they retire but this guy was a 70 overall at age 43 so that is probably why he kept playing.

Here's my Ironman catcher who probably coulda player till 50. I think his peak was in the 80's when he was forced out but I could be wrong.

It's cool how his playing time drops off after 40. Every time Ott made it to the playoffs, he won the World Series. Did you resume the game when you lost? Or just get lucky?

man i wish that option was available in BMO, i would have won something close to 100 series by now

[BigBubba]

No, I have not replayed any playoff when my team makes it they are dominate. I have had 3 of the top 5 pitchers with the highest career wins on my team and probably 4 more on the expanded list. I feel like I am cheating though because I know who to draft

[BigBubba]

Was still solid with 70+ ratings so I am not sure why he retired at 45 years of age.

Everyone retires at 45, regardless of skill.

Although in this particular case (Maikowski) if you look at his stats it might not be a bad idea to retire. 72 is borderline ML/AAA material, he is extremely injury prone and he's nowhere near the .280/30HR hitter he was in his youth. In BBM for every 1 player I see retire "early" I see several hundred hang on far, far too long.

I have posting this player on the site before, but I have no shame and he was the best pitcher I ever had, so here he is again.

Who do you draft?

518 wins?!?

I think SkyDog made the comment that Mogul doesn't produce enough "once-in-a-lifetime" players. Guys like Babe Ruth or Ted Williams that rise above the crowd. Would you agree?

[Chipper_Jones]

You pretty much have to cheat to get numbers like that (or start the guy way too often, which usually won't work in mogul unless you've bulked his ratings).

For human controlled players? Well, when your winning 140+ games a season the pitchers can end up winning a ton of games...
