care to go into the difference between those pitchers he faced in 2001 and the ones he faced in the sim?yes, but less walks = more HRs... 2001 36 SFG NL 153 476 129 156 32 2 73 137 13 3 177 93 .328 .515 .863 411 0 2 35 9 5stat line from 2001... he hit a homer every 6.52 ABs... but he had 177 walks... let's lower than by 87... to 90... give him 87 more at bats... at 6.52 AB/HR... he would gain 13 home runs...so it isn't that far fetched...Now, do I think it is realistic? Pro'lly not... I think he shouldn't be getting that many homers... but do I think it shows the sim is bad/stupid? Nope...I think you're losing your mind larry.I could beat this statement 8 ways till next week, but I'll just say that if you think Bonds is going to hit 12 more homers in a season than he ever did before while facing the likes of Walter Johnson, Cy Young, Lefty Grove, and just about every other HOF pitcher, as opposed to the modern days guys he gets on a daily basis like Steve Traschel, Mike Myers and Tim Wakefield (oopsactually... Bonds would hit MORE home runs against great pitchers than he would against pitchers in our era now...Bonds gets intentionally walked like 1/2 the times he goes up to the plate IRL...he will NEVER get intentionally walked against the greatest pitchers ever...his 85 home runs in the OOTP sim that Winner did was probably with FEWER HR/AB than he had the season used (I think it was his 70 HR season that got used, too, due to the third WIS season rule...)Any sim that allows Bonds to hit 85 homers against the greatest pitchers of all-time isn't worth the $20, imo.Tell you what. You download OOTP. It costs only $19.95. I'll e-mail you the file and the settings (stats all converted to modern, players 100% based on OOTP ratings, ratings exceeding 100). You can run the sim yourself.What does the username have to do with the simulation? I mean, I realize you've exhibited a level of classlessness throughout this thread, but the sim information is copied directly from the sim to this page. If you can't trust that, you're grabbing at straws.I'll run another one, if you like.) then you are absolutely out of your mind.

on these stats: # TOP 10 HR HR1 B. Bonds (HAR) 732 B. Ruth (LAS) 503 S. Sosa (DB) 474 J. Mize (KOY) 445 G. Sheffield (PIC) 436 M. Mantle (UCO) 397 J. Thome (NIP) 377 M. Piazza (HAR) 377 R. Kiner (UCO) 3710 L. Walker (FUN) 36 no way do that many guys hit more HRs than whole TEAMS did in the deadball era if this was really a deadball era sim...
