*  Owner Points
+
-
    a. How they are spent
+
-
        1. Points are lost every game to pay off player salaries.  The lower the team salary, the less points you lose.
+
-
        2. You can spend the points on practice items to further improve your players.
+
-
        3. If you wish to release a player to make room for another, you lose a designated amount of points.
+
-
        4. You can trade them like cash considerations to help acquire other players.       
+
-
    b. How they are earned
+
-
        1. There are certain goals for each game that when reached, will net you a certain amount of points.  The more you accomplish a goal, the harder it gets, and the more points you get.
+
-
        2. Winning a playoff series gives you a ton of points.  A World Series win gives you 50000 points (not including other playoff series).
+
-
        3. If your player wins an award (Rookie of the Year, Relief Pitcher of the Year, Pitcher of the Year, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, or MVP) you receive additional points.
+
-
    c. Tips for managing owner points
+
-
        1.  Most Success Mode players are cheaper.  Use more of them.
+
-
        2.  If you team starts with some overpaid players trade them for lesser, but cheaper players.  For example, trading Roger Clemens and Hideki Matsui can get you Aaron Cook and Troy Tulowitzki.  Johnny Damon can acquire Curtis Granderson, etc.
+
-
*  Season Events
+
-
    a. Spring Training
+
-
    b. Opening Day
+
-
    c. Amateur Draft
+
-
        1.  The draft order is in the reverse order of the previous year's standings.
+
-
        2.  Perhaps starting as the Devil Rays is a good strategy.  They have a low payroll with decent players (Upton, Young, Crawford, Baldelli, and Kazmir).  They also have the first draft pick.

Featured article: Created Characters

Created Characters are players that successfully complete Success Mode and join the AAA team of their favorite MLB team.

Created players then become available for use in the other game modes by either being on the Major League team or being a part of an Arranged Team created in Arrange mode or Season mode.

Many of these characters are created as substitute superstars on Season mode teams to keep owner costs down, but still have a player as strong as the expensive alternative. However, as MLB Power Pros does not have an online mode to update rosters, many are creating real life players to match the new up and coming rookies or to revive baseball greats from baseball history.

Featured Custom Player: Rickey Henderson (1990s)

Rickey Henley Henderson (born December 25, 1958 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who is baseball's all-time leader in stolen bases and runs scored. In a 25-year career with nine clubs, Henderson's high on-base percentage, power, runs scored, and stolen base totals made him the premier leadoff hitter of his era; many consider him the best ever.1

KingCobretti most likely intends for Henderson to be in his second stint with the Oakland Athletics in the 1990s. Henderson is an established power hitter and has hit numerous lead-off home runs. His maxed out run speed and aggressive stealer and runner abilities asserts Henderson as one of the top base stealers in the game.
