Now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk. I've gotten Dr.Goodjob about 7-8 times. My first 4-5 were all successes, and I thought Goodjob was great. My last 3 though, have all been failed. Now I wish that there was an option that said, "Take the points and skill boosts, and shoot the man." But this isn't GTA Baseball. Are there any ways to guarantee a success with him, and anything to help make him show up? He is the man I love to see show up, but then get mad at. It's like a bad date. I've also never had a success on a pitcher. Are fielders more likely to get a success? And don't tell me to turn him down, because that's like turning down a trampoline. It might work out well, but it might not. Well I'm an optimist. And I'm pi$$ed off. He just screwed up Murphy for me.(thanks!) That's why I'm writing this.

I don't think there is any way to "trigger" his arrival or guarantee a successful operation, unfortunately. If you got 4-5 straight successful operations, you're one of the lucky ones. I've only gotten a successful operation two or three times of all the success players I've ever made. I know it sucks whenever the operation fails, but you just have to expect it to fail, or else you will be very disappointed a lot. You can also do what I do and save after every single week. That way, if the operation fails, you can just exit without saving and you don't lose anything.

Doesn't it take a long time to save and exit then just go right back in?

Nah, it's not so bad. Plus it's worth it if you want a good player. Whenever I made a maxed out player, I would reload like crazy for everything, and save and reload once I got what I wanted and saved after every week.

Wow. Doesn't that take FOREVER? I'm not very patient. Doing one practice or random event then saving and exiting just to come back in.

Back when I was making S/L player logs for maxed out players, I found certain dates when DGJ was more likely to show up but they probably just coincided with dates that typically produced a random event. Nothing you can do to make him appear or guarantee success, however. If you are worried about DGJ trashing your player, choose one of the mild options.

I dunno if this helps, or if I'm really lucky. I've seen him, about 6 times, and failed once. I don't sign his waiver every time.

He doesn't do the operation if you don't sign the waiver does he? The wiki says that for pitchers, if you don't sign, nothing happens.

He does do another type of operation if you don't sign the waiver, which is what I do every time.

What does that one do?

Yeah dish! Tell us! Tell us tell us! What does that one do???

Well, it says what it can do for Fielders, but not for pitchers...

I'm pretty sure that in the '07 version, it was widely accepted that haing a low vitality greatly increased your odds of triggering the initial meeting in the park. As for the '08 version, I'd assume the same would apply.

My first successful fielder, ZackAttack, got his good stats mainly due to a successful signed Dr. Goodjob. However, since then I have never had a successful Goodjob. If you want a successful player, saving, exiting, and reloading is definitely the way to go. It definitely requires patience, especially when trying to get that Gambler's Ring out of a Surprise Bag or gambling for a special ability with 5% success rate, but it is completely worth it.
