Power Pros Forum

I've had the game for a year and I've only completed one player... and he's gosh-awful. I want to be able to make good players whenever I want but I don't want to be too confused while I do so.

If you guys can give me THE most babied, watered-down, simplified version of how to play Success Mode to the best of it's ability, it would be much appreciated.

There's a great guide that I go by made by Eric Davis for making maxed out fielders, and it works for me every time.

I don't follow that guide to the wire, but I generally do most of what's in that guide.

Also, the two main things you need for sucess mode are the Shiny Fragrance and the Psychic Goggles.

well if you dont want to do the arcs then i guess this would do it

batters:
year 1- focus only on TRJ, bat control, and power, when TRJ is full move on to next abillty or grab special ones
year 2- focus on the remaining abillties and special ones to
games- be flawless
s/L often
my guy: trj 4, control 15, power 193, run speed 12, arm 10, fielding 8, e res 14, using this method.

pitchers:
year 1- focus on top speed, control, and stamina, ever now and then increase a breaking ball
year 2- focus on breaking ball and special abillties but you still want to increase top speed and control

store- buy psycic goggles trust me...(not the spelling )
games- be flawless, pitch the corners
s/L often
never did it my self but it works the same way ^

What does Shiny Fragrance do? And I only use Psychic Goggles for pitchers. I don't need 'em for hitters.

And if you're struggling to get evaluation points, I suggest getting the Prince's Necklace.

The shiny fragrance helps you to get more coach and scout points.

Oh...

i think my way that i posted would actully be the hardest way to play since its just up work but you cant get more basic then that...(a.k.a. not exploring the game)

Okay, here's a guide for a GOOD player, but not maxed

Please note that things that are coded are thing's to follow for pitcher's as well

For hitters:
Raise contact and trajectory first, make sure by the time you're at your first game that you have at least 2 trajectory

Frank is very useful, if you go the lookout place and he's there then you can either play catch, work on upper body and lower

Catch has a small chance of getting you Throwing 4 but Upper Body gives you good stength and technique points
while Lower Body gives you Speed and Strength points.



Also, get rid of the rookie thing you have in your bag at the beggining, you won't be able to control your baserunning and other player's baserunning which could lower your double and RBI count which means less eval







Usually the steak lady comes at some point so if she's there, then go to her just about as much as you can because it's a great way to get your power up and it'll get you alot of money



For Pitchers:

Pretty much the same things for some things

Make sure to have at least D stamina and one breaking ball when you go to the first game

For Frank, go visit him a few times but this time upper body gives you a good amount of breaking ball and strength points and lower body gives you strength/technique

This'll take some time but after awhile Sittch will give you alot of breakingball/technique points and he'll give you an origanal pitch

Also, make sure to get rid of the rookie charm before the final game(after beating Gil's galaxy sharks)

The Steak lady gives you stamina points this time which can easily help you get A stamina for starters

Also, don't make your players with a bunch of breaking balls every time because then they'll only be level 1's, 2's and 3's rarely
Focusing on 2 or 3 pitches is ideal


Well that's all I can think of for now, hope it helps

For Pitchers:

If you have an equipped glove or a glove that Sittch gave to you, and have at least $600 at the final screen, you can get a Glove wax, which can increase your Top Speed by 1 or 2 points (See Toby Baker to see how that can work out for you in the long run!)

Mahahaha I think I solved the mystery for Sittch. I completed the 1st level on like 2nd or 3rd try. If there is a pattern like C,L,R,C,C,R,R,R,R,L this is a right one.

so your are saying if he starts in the middle use this pattern?

Its either the 1st few. If the 1st 4 has this pattern, this is the answer.

Are there set patterns? I had one round where Sittch hid on the right side 10 times in a row.

For me there is a set pattern same thing happens everytime for a new character.
