Also, when I had the scout test before being promoted, I had to get 20 points to pass! :shock:

That wouldn't be a problem with a hitter, but I suck at the pitcher ones! I only got a 14, and lost 3 scout eval. I almost had the bar full though, so maybe that's why. Anyone else ever needed a 20 to pass? The most I've seen is 12.

That isn't even fair.

I always do the challenge option for pitchers because even 12 is nearly impossible to get as a pitcher.

As a hitter, it's simple enough to average 40-50 points, but as a pitcher, 10 is extremely difficult at times.

You have to get 20 when you've already passed AAA.

Oh, is that what it is? Huh, that's cool. I've never had this much eval before...

Currently working on the Braves right now, and I just got to thinking, since I only have 4 teams to go after they're done: What am I going to do for Free Agents? Should I just keep what the game has now, or edit them into existing players so that they're in the FA list?

I think I'm gonna end up doing the latter so there isn't any duplicates.

Existing players.

If I do do existing players, who would be the ones to put in there? I can think of two right now: Derrek Lee, (maybe) Bobby Abreu, and the recently-released Jason Bartlett. Not sure who else, though.

Isn't Abreu still with the Dodgers' AAA team? I'm unsure how I'm gonna approach the FA, I guess I'll just look for FA who have similar birth years to the FA in the game.

Yeah, you're right. Abreu is still with the Dodgers' AAA.

I just remembered: Javier Vazquez. He still isn't officially retired, so technically he's a FA, right?

Also, there's still Vlad Guerrero and Arthur Rhodes.

Yep, you're right on Vazquez. Plenty of candidates, it seems. Problem is, unless you don't mind them being really off in years pro, they aren't going to be too accurate to their 2012 age. Plus they won't retire in a few years like you would expect them to if they were their current age.

Mark Hamilton?
Yuniesky Betancourt?
Jose Lopez?

Lopez is on the White Sox now, I believe.

Hm?

I wish I knew what was going on in the Mantsuman success, the visuals alone are hilarious.

Using the guide for aces (Not realistic but whatever...) and practicing a bit more when coaches are there I don't even need to do the scouts test sometimes. Saying to the scout you don't want to do the test will do nothing negative to your eval for some reason.

And yes, the Mantsuman success mode is a lol fest.
