SimYard is a fantasy baseball management simulation webgame.
Unlike most fantasy baseball games, the players on your team do not represent
real players in the major leagues. All of your players are fictitious, and
they are yours to play, dismiss, and train, as you see fit.
Some of the more frequently-asked questions are displayed to the right. If
you need more help, please head over to the forums and
post a message.
There will be more detailed help files posted here as they are written.
SimYard is a brand new baseball history. There are no records
or great players until they are created. Using a date in the past is a great
way to reinforce this detail. Remember, every month is a brand new season, so
eventually the game calendar will catch up with and overtake the real calendar.
Q:
What does it mean when my pitchers are red?
A:
After a pitcher pitches, he gets tired and needs to rest. When
the pitcher is not at full rest, he appears red and there is a time displayed
until he is fully rested. The amount of time needed for rest depends on the
ENDurance stat and how many pitches were thrown. A pitcher may be played on
short rest, and when this is available the pitcher displays a number like 3/14
which shows his relative effectiveness. Tired pitchers will not pitch as well
as fully rested ones.
Q:
Why does the automatic manager change my pitcher so early
in the game?
A:
There is only one reason why the automatic manager changes
pitchers, because the pitcher is too tired to continue. Either you started
the game with a red pitcher that was tired, or you used a relief pitcher (RP)
to start the game. The manager will always put in the best pitcher available
based on their stats, saving the closers for tight games.
Q:
How do I get more fans for my team?
A:
Every time a game is played, four new fans are generated and
given to the teams that are playing. Typically three fans are for the winner
and one fan is for the loser, but it gets more skewed when the margin of
victory is wide. You can also increase the number of fans you earn from a
game by interacting with the fans in the Public Fields and raising BUZZ for
your team before you play. Each BUZZ lasts for an hour, and they add up if you
get more than one.
Q:
How do I get more players for my team?
A:
If you interact with people in the park, you will mostly find
fans to talk to. Occasionally, however, you will meet a baseball player who
is looking for a team. When this happens, you can offer that player a spot on
your team. You start with 25 players, but you may have up to 40 on your team.
Q:
What format does my team logo need to be to use it?
A:
Team logos can be .JPG or .GIF files, and must be 50x50 in
size. If you are making your own image, it is recommended to use your primary
team color as the background color. This makes the logo look really good when
it shows up in the team summary box.
Q:
How does the automatic manager work?
A:
The automatic manager will substitute players in three cases.
When a pitcher is tired and has warn out his arm, it will put in a new pitcher
directly. It holds off on doing this sometimes when there are two outs, or
when a starter is fighting to get through the 5th inning with a lead. Also,
when a tired pitcher is due up next in the batting order, the automatic
manager will put in a pinch hitter, and then choose a rested pitcher to
replace him when the team goes back onto the field. The final time it will
make a substitution is when an opposing pitcher of a different hand comes into
the game. If this happens, it will substitute in one-for-one any player in
the lineup for one in the lineup for the other-handed pitcher. If you go into
the manager control screen and disable the automatic manager, then it will not
put in any pinch hitters, but it will still substitute for a pitcher when he is
tired.
Q:
Can I trade players?
A:
Once you join a league, you will be able to trade players
with other teams in your league.
