ZenGM Baseball version 2026.05.25.0839: added quality starts (QS) stat for starting pitchers and added season leader awards for batting average, OPS, ERA, and saves

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

Version 2026.04.24.0772: added game score (GSc) stat for starting pitchers, which rates individual games on a scale of roughly 0-100.

I used the formula from @tangotiger you can find at https://t.co/4DQwVDG0q5

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

Version 2026.04.09.0603 of ZenGM Baseball: when there is a walk-off win with a live ball (like a base hit or error, not a HR), the game ends when the winning run scores and the batter has reached first safely, rather than allowing additional runs to score

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

This is implemented by decreasing the cross-game fatigue they experience for those games. The playoffs already have that decreased, to simulate them trying harder. Now they try even harder in critical elimination games.

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

Version 2025.11.22.1285: in game 7s and elimination game 6s of playoff series, backup goalies are less likely to play

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

...and similarly in ZenGM Hockey version 2025.11.21.1249, projected starting goalies are shown in the schedule, rather than the best player on each team.

Version 2025.11.19.1260 of ZenGM Baseball: projected starting pitchers are shown in the schedule, rather than the best player on each team

ZenGM Hockey update in version 2025.05.26.1259: Added some rate stats (like "Goals Per 60 Minutes") to the Advanced stats table

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

@neymar_oh Yes, but I'm not sure when

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

Version 2025.02.24.1037: simming through the regular season is about 40% faster

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

Version 2025.05.08.1027: new "Penalty Rate Factor" setting to control how often penalties occur (upper limit is still 2 players in the penalty box per team)

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

[Basketball GM @basketball_gm]

Also for ZenGM Baseball - Teams use a 4 man pitching rotation in the playoffs, so now the 5th starter is treated as a reliever in the playoffs rather than never playing.

[Basketball GM @basketball_gm]

Sorry but it's playoff season and the Mets are winning so another ⚾️ update in version 2024.10.14.1177 - Improved batting order when a starter is injured - now it will only reorder the batting order starting with the injured player's spot, rather than the whole lineup

[Basketball GM @basketball_gm]

ZenGM Baseball version 2024.10.11.0840: Added holds and blown saves stats for relief pitchers

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

@EasterBunnyHops Congrats!

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

Shootouts!

[Basketball GM @basketball_gm]

New feature in version 2024.04.16.0485 - shootouts to decide tie games, in all sports, not just hockey!

Baseball: Home run derby

Basketball: Three-point contest

Football: Field goal contest

Hockey: Like in real life, penalty shots

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

@Zayxgrinds Not yet, but eventually

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

Small ZenGM Hockey update - added tracking of number of shifts (SHFT) to player stats, version 2024.02.12.1378

[ZenGM.com @ZenGMGames]

@splarshall Not really... I'm not a big fan of either, and if I want to make a new game, there are others that are closer to my existing games and would be easier to do - such as soccer, or college sports.
