Update: In the Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 2008 cardset I have added support for the ATG4 cardset so now it works with 2008 and ATG4.

Update 2: The Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 80s cardset now works with the 70s cardset.

Sample image

I have released two new Greasemonkey scripts for Sporting News Stratomatic Online:

Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 2008/ATG4 cardset
Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 80s cardset

These scripts will parse a player’s card and then show an output of the chances a player has on getting on base, hitting a home run, etc. The results also take ballparks effects into consideration. You can also change the default ballpark.

Everyday, these scripts really come in handy for me. Instead of relying on the Ratings Disk or the Player probability tool in the Stratomatic CD-Rom game I have all of the information right there on the same player card page. There’s no need trying to count the how many ballpark diamonds a player has or figuring out the clutch rating. Also, the pitcher cards even have Best Results calculated for you. I hope you enjoy!

To my knowledge the results are 100% accurate. Please let me know if you find any mistakes in the calculations.

For some reason there’s an HTML layout difference between Firefox 2.x and 3.x so I have designed these scripts to work in Firefox 3.x.

I would like to help you experience a way to ‘watch’ Stratomatic Online games unfold in a “GameChannel” type baseball simulation. Now you can sit on the edge of your seat to see what happens to your pitcher with the bases are loaded and two outs. Now you can watch games that feel a little more like Stratomatic face-to-face games.

Let’s say you’re browsing the daily transactions in your Back to the 80’s league and notice someone dropped Robin Yount. You’d like to view his L/R splits stats to help determine what year his card might fall under. Unfortunately, when a player becomes a free agent, the L/R splits are no longer accessible for that player. Now with, Strat-O-Matic View Yesterday’s Splits, you can access some L/R split stats.

When today’s game results are processed, go to your team page and click the Save Splits link. This will store the lefty/righty splits for each team in the league. The next time you are browsing the daily transactions and notice that a player was dropped, go to your team page and click on the Load Splits link to bring up splits that were saved before the transaction occurred.

Just imagine you are checking your daily boxscores and notice Pedro Guerrero gets injured against Nolan Ryan on a lineout. You check his possible years and notice that out of the five years, his mystery card may fall under ‘82, ‘85, or ‘87. This is good information to have so you’ll need to make a note of it for future reference.

I used to keep notes in notepad like the following:

Guerrero 82,85,87
McRae 79,82
Johnson 91
C,Martinez 85,87

Instead of doing this in Notepad, how about having this information right on the player’s card?  With this Greasemonkey script, just click on a bullet icon next to the year. The next time you view the card the icons will be highlighted in red for you.

After the season is over, go to the front office and click on the “Reset Possible Years” link to reset everything back to zero. Now, you are ready for next season. reset_possible_years
