 WHY THIS VERSION OF STATIS PRO?

From the creator of Statis Pro Advanced comes the first revision for the original Avalon Hill Baseball game since the game went out of print in the early 90s.  Why could this be the Statis Pro Baseball game for you?  Game strategy and accuracy has been improved dramatically with only a single page of rules and charts to amend the original game.  You’ll be up and playing this improved Statis Pro in a matter of minutes.

1.      Accuracy of results:  Let’s not kid ourselves, Statis Pro is fun, but the Pitcher Card “Rulebook Formula” used for the original cards is daft and highly inaccurate.  Pitchers in the Revised Edition will replicate their real life batting average, on-base and slugging percentage allowed.  You can have a 2-6 ace, and a 2-8 bum.   Batter and Pitcher cards are normalized to their league so teams can compete realistically across eras.  Balk, Wild Pitch and Passed Ball results are also now based on actual results.

2.      Half Results:  Many players in SP have less than one chance for HRs, HBP, 3b8.  These players now have a “half-a-chance” to produce these results.  Also players who are incredibly difficult to K, or pitchers who walk very few batters have a special rating to match their real life results.

3.      Platoon Advantage:  A simple platoon advantage system that modifies PB: draws adds another level of strategy and accuracy without the added complexity of double column LH/RH splits and encourages intuitive and realistic player use.  Players are rated from -3 (extremely poor) to +3 (huge advantage). 

4.      Park Effects:  Going into Coors Field?  Very likely your pitcher’s “Stuff” could be Bad, but they may get a boost in Dodger Stadium. 

5.      New Charts:  A new Steal chart set up just like the original takes into account the steal percentage of baserunners as well as the hold ability of the pitcher.  New CD chart eliminates “No Results”, makes defense more important of a consideration in your lineup.  Defensive ratings, including Arms, are based on the most modern stats available.  The Hit and Run Chart remains in the same style but the batters batting average is now taken into consideration.  No more turning that .180 hitting 2Bman into a .400 hitting menace with a runner on 1^st.

6.      Pitching Strategies and Platoon modifications are also on the chart.

7.      Card design:  Cards are larger (business cards) and laid out in an easier read format which includes team colors, league leaders, awards and all the important stats you’ll need to make decisions.

8.      You can use these revisions with any Statis Pro card set.

9.     Includes Player Cards, Charts, new Fast Action Cards, everything you need to play the game.
