Battrick thread, Part II

[ZeekLTK]

I was wondering if it's like hattrick where you shouldn't have more than 10 coaches. I see you only have 10 as well, do you know if this is how it works, or is that just a coincidence?

its impossible to have more than 10 coaches... or maybe its possible, but you only have 10 training slots...

btw... unless u've got a pretty good wicketkeeping trainee.. u are wasting those 2 training slots... I'm sure u've got a stud bowler/batsman u could use them on to make his bowling/batting better.

Here are my "Keeper" Trainees:

Junior Mason - 19 yo, BT Rating=8,763
LH Batsman, LM Bowler, competent form, Healthy
A defensive player with strong leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: respectable
Batting: mediocre Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: feeble Consistency: woeful
Fielding: respectable

Runako Ross - 18 yo, BT Rating=7,998
LH Batsman, LM Bowler, respectable form, Healthy
A cautious player with feeble leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: abysmal Wicket Keeping: strong
Batting: feeble Concentration: woeful
Bowling: woeful Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: feeble


If I should move my coaches, where should I put them into?

[Helghallen]

I'm not sure I'd change them. Very nice youngsters. I wonder what would happen if you got more WK coaches and gave these guys more net time each week. Have either of them popped yet?

No pops yet and (I think) they've gotten WK training every week from 1 coach.

What sort of seating ratios are you using?I just ordered an expansion to 13K with 50% standing, 30% seated, 17% covered, 3% members. I don't know if I've sold out yet because I haven't paid BT much attention but I felt like spending some money.

50% standing, about 8% members, then the remaining 42% between the other two categories with more in the uncovered seating that covered seating.

[Craig P]

I don't remember exactly where to find it (somewhere in sledging, I think), but there's a canonical ratio to use, similarly to in Hattrick. I'm not at it myself only because I didn't want to start out building that many seats.

[Bluto11]

is there any way to see how much a player has improved from training? i tried looking for something like that and couldn't find anything.

[Craig P]

There's an Excel spreadsheet that works decently, with some drawbacks (like, it doesn't know how to handle having your squad go from numbered to not).

is this something i would make for my own records? or is it something i can find on the battrick site?

[Craig P]

You can find a pointer to it in sledging. Look for a thread about the "battrick tool".

if anyone needs a friendly,

Wicketkeepers, West Indies, III.8

[Craig P]

After conceding my sixth wicket at only 83 runs, I was figuring on it being a short outing and an easy chase for Batletico. But the bottom of the order has an inspired partnership going, with Newsome and Best combining for over a hundred runs (and counting) and maintaining a run rate over 4. The match is turning out to be far more interesting than it first appeared.

[Craig P]

End of Over 45: 204-6, runrate=4.53
Rosefield 8-0-44-0
Newsome* 44 (81 balls)
Best 61 (91 balls)

excellent recovery there man... really top notch...

I'm strolling through my match though... bowled them out for 180 w/ my friendly instructions set (oops) and my batsmen should not have too much trouble with this at all.

[Craig P]

And I'm off to a ridiculous start bowling... after six overs, they're at 18-3, with each opening bowler taking a wicket as well as a player run out. After I posted about my partnership, they both went quickly and with it my innings, so the target is makeable at 207-10, but not a slam dunk.

[Bluto11]

i hit 335-8. lost 4 wickets in the 50th over, so i still collapsed, but I actually made it to 50 overs!! I usually don't.

I'm not bowling too hot right now, but he's 1 run under the required run rate.
