But you aren't a top prospect in Success. You're always the underdog who gets belittled by the top prospects (Alvin, Patrick, Jonathan, etc), at least at first.

That's true I guess... Still 3 years... Maybe 2 years would be more like it.

Considering there are 5 minor teams you are on I'm suspecting you start in Rookie level move up to Short Season A(or Low class A) High Single A, Double A, and finally, Triple A to the majors. Do you know if it's going to be a 5 year set or maybe just 3?

Going by experience, 5 teams only means you get to play 3 years on any one team in the fictional minor league system. You won't be hopping teams, but you'll be playing against the other 4 teams. Each team will likely have different gimmicks, events and players. For example the ORIG pitch event may only be available for a certain team. I think you might need to play through the standard Strawberries Success Mode at least once to unlock the others.

Based on one picture that shows every team grayed out but the Golden Apples, it looks like we'll be starting with them instead.

My bad I missed that, but it makes sense.

Either way, the new successes, fielding in my life, and WBC should make this awsome.

If indeed you chose to play with only one team for the entire sucess, that leaves plenty of opportunities to go back and do the other 4, finding out which team you make the best characters, which ones (if any) give good and hard to get abilites like Gyroball.

It will take a while to map out everything in this sucess mode thats for sure, but it should be fun to do so. I'm eager to be on all the teams.

In speculation: I'm wondering if you are on the Gigantes as a hitter you get a special bonus on power or better power training in practice beacause they are a home run hitting team.

I didn't think of that. If you want to be a power hitter then go to the Gigantes. If you want to be a all-rounded player go to the Golden Apples. If you want to be a contact hitter got to the Strawberries. If you want to be a Superstar go to the Galaxy sharks. :lol: What do the monkeys do? Are they speed?

I believe the monkeys are speed. that would be great for specialzed characters.

Soxs have speed. Monkeys suck. They just have equal abilities.

I remember someone talking about a Japanese League version of the game with a success mode. There was one team, (the blackjacks I think), who were rich like the Galaxy Sharks and while you could make the best player through this team, it was much much harder to win and not lose.

Haha, ok, that makes sense. Do you understand any Japanse, or did you have to feel your way blindly though the game?
