Printing and Reading Statis-Pro Team Sheets (When Used Instead of Actual Player Cards)

One Statis-Pro game player converted the all-time great pitchers into this PDF that puts all 60 teams on one page. This is a great breakthrough, particularly for anyone who does not like to use google sheets. My suggestion is to use that PDF, and for now you would still need to use the process below to print out the batters for each team.

We had a great question from a user. The Statis-Pro All-Time Greats, which appear on a sheet rather than on cards, to print on one page for team.

Here is the process. Open this google sheet of the 60 great teams and scroll down to the team you want.

Use your curser to go from column C to Column AA and scroll from the header for that team (the 1927 Yankees in this case) to their last batter.  Note you do not need to include Columns A and B to see the New York Yankees 1927, because we have put that at the top of the list of names for each team.

Once they are defined go to print (control + p on most keyboards) it will start with the option of printing the whole document - which you don't want - so on the far right scroll to choose only printing the selection AND also choose further down to fit to page or just fit columns to page as shown below. That will show you on the screen it is set up to print what you want - just the New York Yankees 1927 batters.

When you hit print at the point, you should get just the batters in a pretty readable form:

When reading these sheets as opposed to the actual Statis-Pro cards, we list only the final number of each batters range, so if the action is on the batter's card then read from left to right knowing you are starting with 11. So on Babe Ruth's cards:

11-17 is a single, because you always start at 11 and the number listed under 1b for Ruth is 17.

18-24 is a double. The range always starts at the number after the last range (18 is right after 17) and under 2b you see "24" as the end of the range.

25 is a triple.

26-36 is a home run.

37-41 is a DEEP drive, which can be either a home run or a sac fly.

42-46 is a strikeout.

47-64 is a walk.

There is no hit by pitch. The number in the column is 64, but that is the number for the last number under walks, so the "range" is really 65-64, meaning there are really no hit by pitch results.

65-88 is an out.

The one issue on the sheets is they do not include the breakdown of which outfielder fielded the hit, which matters if a baserunner is trying to take an extra base or there is a chance of an error. We play that if the number ends in a 1 or 2 (11,12,21,22,31,32 etc.) then the batter pulled the ball (so right-handed batter hits ball to left field, switch-hitter to centerfield and left-handed to right). Then if it ends in 3 or 4 the ball was hit to left, 5 or 6 to center and 7 or 8 to right. The one exception is if the batter is an OBR A or B then I treat an 11 is a 1Bf.

Pitchers

To get the pitchers cards you go to the 2nd tab in the same sheet and follow the same process to print out just the team. Let's say you decided the 1927 Yankees opponent would be the 1995 Braves. The following is what you would print out for the Braves pitchers.

If Greg Maddux were facing Ruth, then the first roll or fast action card would keep the action on Maddux' card on 2-9, or go to Ruth's card on 10-12. When on Maddux card, the 11-88 random number would become:

11-16 is a single

No balks on the card - this is blank but in other cases there might have been a "16" which would mean no balks since that is also the end of the singles range.

17-44 is a strikeout.

45-50 is a walk. No really there is no 49 or 50, so the walk range is only 45-48, but the base 8 calculation in these formulas for a base 8 goes from 47 to 50 when counting,

No wild pitchers. a 50 is listed under WP, but because the top number for a walk is a 50, that leaves no wild pitches.

51-52 is a CD-C, which means the result is an OUT unless someone is on base - and in that case you must refer to the Clutch defensive chart for the catcher.

53-88 is an out. No number is listed, but the remainder of the numbers from CD-C through 88 is always an out.

OSU Wins Despite Big O's 38, then Crushed Michigan

The Ohio State University destroyed both the second best team in their state, the Cincinnati Bearcats, and their rival Michigan Wolverines to soar from 43rd to 10th in our all-time ratings of great college basketball teams. Cincinnati dropped from 10th to 21st, and Michigan dropped from 25th to 48th. Our game trackers and ranking of the 135 great teams in the game can be found here.

 Ohio State (1960) 87, Cincinnati (1960) 78

The Big O, Oscar Robertson, out together one of the all-time great performances in our game with 38 points, 5 blocked shots, and all 4 of his steals in the final 6 minutes.

Unfortunately for the Cincinnati Bearcats, his 6 rebounds were a team high, as Jerry Lucas (18 points, 11 rebounds) and John Havlicek (15, 10) led complete domination of the boards 41-21 between the two 1960 Final four teams that did not play each other. According to the Athletic, Lucas and Havlicek are two of the greatest 75 NBA players of all time.

It was 3 future NBA players to 1, and the Buckeyes third Larry Siegfried was the scrolling star with two key traditional 3-pointers (bucket and foul) in a game in which we did not use the 3-point shot since neither team used it.

Ohio St. (1960) 87, Michigan (1989) 72

The only glimmer of hope for Michigan in this game was it Glen Rice (19 points, 9 rebounds, 8 fouls drawn) could get either John Havlicek or Jerry Lucas to foul out - as he drew 4 fouls on both of them.

Other than that it was complete domination by the Buckeyes for their second straight game, as the three future NBA players from the Bearcats game received unexpected help from Mel Nowell's game high 19 points. One fun note, Bobby Knight did score for Ohio State in this game and drew a foul - but missed the foul shot as only a 60% free throw shooter (1-12 is good on the 20-sided die).

Previously the Buckeyes had been upset 78-79 by the 2009 Michigan State team, one of our bigger upsets.

Lucas' Ohio State Face the Big O's Cincy and Michigan

In our updated rankings of the top 25 all-time college basketball teams, you will notice several have only one or two games played. We decided we will focus on those teams now - particularly the teams in our Top 75 that only have one game played. We set up "doubleheaders" for each of them to see if they hold or can even improve their rankings.

The most intriguing double header we set up heading into the Michigan vs. Ohio State football game this weekend, was letting Jerry Lucas 1960 Buckeyes National Champs play the 1989 Champs from Michigan - but also the game that never happened - a 1960 National Championship between them and the Cincinnati Bearcats as the warm up for Michigan.

In 1960, the Bearcats were ranked 1st all year behind Oscar Robertson, the Big O, and both the Bearcats and Buckeyes made the Final 4. The Bearcats lost in the semifinals for the third straight year with the Big O, this time to a great Cal team - which ironically had left the Pac-12 that year only to later return, so Oscar Robertson did not face Jerry Lucas for the championship.

The really ironic part of the story is the Big O then went to the NBA, and the two years after he left, Cincinnati not only won the national title, but did it by beating Jerry Lucas and Ohio State. The were then national runner-ups in 1963, to make it six straight years in the Final Four. Cal interrupted what would have been three straight national title rematches between the two teams from the same state. Those two teams were in the middle of a 98 year stretch during which they never played on each others campuses, so they could only meet in tournaments. 

Bearcats fans may ask why I included their 1960 team instead of one of the national champs the next two years. Well, that is because I look at both the greatest teams ever but also the greatest players ever to choose who gets a team in the game. The Big O was the only player who went onto the NBA from this Bearcats team in the game, and no player from the National Champs went onto the NBA.

ACC Places 8 of Top 25 Teams of All-Time in Updated Rankings

 The updated Top 25 All-Time Basketball Team rankings now appear on the all-time game log as well as below. The average all-time great team in the game has a Rating of "0," which is about the same as a KenPom rating of 21. So even the 135th rank team - Niagara with Calvin Murphy, has a rating of -16.6 which would be equal to a KenPom rating of +4.4 in KenPom or four points better than the average team.

The teams in the all-time great 8 conferences are listed here,  

Some of the teams near the bottom were included because they had one of the top 100 players of all time, even though their overall team would not rank with the all-time best. Bill Bradley (Princeton), Pete Maravich (LSU) and Rick Berry (Miami) three of the greatest players ever though their teams rank near the bottom in our all-time great play. We also tried to include as many schools as possible, so for example the teams with surprising Final 4 runs like VCU, George Mason and Butler are included rather than just including 10 or more UCLA, UNC, Kansas of Kentucky teams.

College Hoops 6th Best Conference History - SEC

 We posted out of order, but the 6th best conference in college basketball history is the SEC. This is based on the top six teams in the Value Add Basketball Game going 20-8 with a rating of 4.1.

The conference has been dominated by Kentucky, and the 1996 "Untouchable" Kentucky squad with nine future NBA players is the truly dominant team in the rankings. The 2012 Kentucky team is 4-2 against other great teams, but certainly have potential to be one of the top few teams. 

Beyond Kentucky, the 2019 Auburn team is 8-1 in the game and in real life seemed to have the national championship team if not for the injury to their top player Chuma Okeke before the Final Four during their route of Kentucky. Arkansas' 40 minutes of hell, and Florida's team that won the first of two titles in 2006 when the school was also taking the national football title with Tim Tebow.

Many of the greatest players of all time came out of the SEC and have teams in the game, including - Anthony Davis, Shaq, Bernard King, Charles Barkley, Sidney Moncrief, Dan Issel, Dominique Wilkins, Pete Maravich and Antoine Walker.

College Hoops Best Conference History - ACC (By Far)

 When we played our initial All-Time Great tournament using the first 96 Value Add Basketball Game teams, Michael Jordan led the 1982 UNC Tar Heels all the way to the title game before falling short against Bill Walton's 1972 UCLA Team.

Perhaps nothing indicates the ACC is clearly the top conference historically then the fact that Jordan's team in our game ranks as the 7th best team in the conference so far.

We rank conferences based on the top six teams, and those six in front of Jordan's UNC team have gone 17-7 with an average win margin of 8 points (75-67) against some of the greatest teams of all time. A couple of the Duke teams (2001 and 1992) have only paid two games a piece, so still need to prove themselves in more games. However, the new teams the ACC added included the great 2013 Louisville team and the great Syracuse and Pittsburgh - all from the great Big East years. Add them to the great UVa champs from 2019, the Tim Duncan's 1996 team that already stunned Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's team in our game, David Thompson's NC State team that ended UCLA's dynasty.

Despite growing up in Virginia, I adopted the Big East and rooted for them against the ACC from that point forward, but there is no way to argue this is not the top conference in history based on their current roster of teams.
