Can I get confirmations on the following info posted on the wiki?

• Break Up DP - Secrets of Defense
• 2nd Position 4 - Spend Experience Points at the Boost screen to acquire a new position, as well as the one you originally chose.

wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Success_Mode_2008_Quick_Reference:_Fielder_Abilities

I have never seen breakup DP from SoD and I have no idea how you get 2nd Position 4, but I know that is not how. It says "Acquired" and is blocked out. Wish I knew how to get 2nd Position 4. Has anyone ever tried acquiring a 2nd position at the beginning of the game to see if, maybe, Frank, Siitch or Tom gives you the 2nd Position 4 during a RE? I always acquire the 2nd and 3rd positions near the end of the game, and I assume everyone else does the same. Maybe I'll try it with my next player.

Edit: I partially answered one of my questions about gloves last night.

1) Is there a complete list of the bats/gloves you can get from Massive's owner and Siitch? For example, I know hitters can get the Bomber Arch and On Fire Arch from Massive's owner, but not the W Shot or The Mighty. And I know hitters can get the Mizzoto Glove Pro from Siitch, but not the Mizzoto Mitt Pro.

The following gloves are available from Siitch when you answer "Neither" during the 3rd ninja training session:

Hitters:
Yes - Mizzoto Glove, Mizzoto Glove Pro
No - Mizzoto Mitt Pro

Pitchers:
Yes - Aim Shot, Heavyweight, The Doctor K, Perfect Shot, Ace Stud
No - Pitching Heart (unconfirmed)

I can confirm that I have NEVER gotten Break up DP through SoD.

I can also confirm buying new abilities does NOT give you 2nd position4

Now I cannot confirm that my two confirmations are 100% accurate, due to sample sizes less then 100 attempts, but in all the times I have ever used SoD it has not given breakup DP, and I have 3 positions on most of my success players, and not one has gotten 2nd position4 when I bought the 2/3 positions from the abilities screen.

Therein lies the problem of the Wiki. Too many cooks spoil the soup. If you plan on editing info into there, please make sure it is accurate.

Good eye Odawali for spotting what seems to be speculation, and not fact on how to get these skills.

You cannot get Break Up DP from Secrets of Defense for Catcher, Infielder, or Outfielder. I have not verified it with a pitcher, but unlikely.

I have used a catcher, infielder, and an outfielder. I have used the SoD book until it cannot be used anymore. If Break Up DP could be received, then the book would not have been greyed out.

Probably already know, but you cannot receive Spider Catch or Pivot Man as a Catcher with SoD
Probably already know, but you cannot receive Trash Talk as Infielder or Outfielder with SoD.

As for 2nd Position 4, I read this somewhere, that it is received when you have more than one position at a B or better. Could be A, but don't recall. 2nd Position 4 automatically is filled in when this is the case. Therefore, unless you can get one of the extra positions that you buy to be level B instead of C, I don't think this is possible.

(Lunch break, just checking in).

Yeah, that's how I would have confirmed it. Bullet-proof info, thanks.



That's how it works in Player Edit mode...But if it also applies to Success Mode, the question becomes: How do you raise your fielding level to B?

I wish I knew. I have tried everything. The only thing I haven't tried is to acquire a 2nd position early in Success Mode and hope there is a RE that boosts it.

I just cured Laziness by going to the mountain when nobody was there.

Sorry if this has been said before.

I appologise if anyone has answered this, but how do you aquire "vs Runners" for pitchers? Is it able to be aquired in success and mlb life modes, and what must you do, I'm under the impression it is non-purchaseable via shop or with experience points accumulated.

i got it randomly after one game (i only allowed 1 hit, but yeah)

You can get it in the boost abilities screen.

I have a question, maybe so basic that i don't know where to post or look for the answer, so sorry if this isn't here, coz' isn't about a ability.

How can I make better the CON stat?

PD: Sorry my english.

work on technique and power
Try the first and second practice there, the only practices that don't help contact is running

Thx =D so fast answer.

On 2nd position 4; last year, the system gave you this while dating multiple chicks. I've tried dating 2 at the same time, and got both of them to halfway (someone special) status; but still got nothing for it.

That's the only way to do it, I think; I'll test this with my backup infielder, when I create him this weekend.
