Power Pros Forum

That last game against the Dodgers, I was playing maually, with CPU Batting and Pitching on Expert, and CPU Fielding and Baserunning on All-Star. I just couldn't handle all those groundballs I got. I guess that's what happens when you turn up the difficulty in a Power Pros game for the first time ever...

While we were away...

Alright the next telecast is almost ready to go, and, coincidentally, it's against the Sprint...again. And, it's a full telecast this time, since I allowed my computer to charge for a while today.

Could I have Ziggy Budzinski and Jose Asencio as clients?

Sorry to add this in so late...

Will do!

Awesome!

Thank you.

April 8th telecast of the MillionAir is out now!

BREAKING NEWS
MiilionAir Sign 2

LAS VEGAS, NV - In a stunning development, the now 2-5 MillionAir have decided to pick up a pitcher and a fielder. They first picked up SP Shawn Spencer, who has a ton of plus pitches that could desperately help the rotation. For fielders, they picked up RF Zach Robare, who diesn't have good contact, but has stunning Power, Run speed, and Arm strength in the OF. The MillionAir hope that these signings help turn this team's fate around for the better. To make room for Spencer and Robare, the MillionAir sent down RP Bobby Barker and CF Nicholas Cannon. They will both be inserted into the rotation (Spencer) and the starting lineup (Robare) immediately. MAldonado will move to CF, Inglett to RF, and Robare will replace Inglett in RF. There is also talks of a 3rd player maybe being signed, but management hasn't hinted at it yet.

Long Text update coming soon for the final game of the 4-game series with the Sprint.

MillionAir (2-6) vs. Sprint (5-3)

Spencer (0-0, 2.45 ERA) vs. Trachsel (0-0, 2.25 ERA)

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - The MillionAir won their 3rd game of the season today, salvaging the 4-game series with the Sprint by a slugfest score of 11-6. It all got started in the 2nd inning, when your Player Of The Game, Basner, hit an RBI single to LF to make it 1-0, and Shawn Spencer helping out his own cause, getting an RBI single as well, to make it 2-0 after the 2nd. It would be broken wide open in the 3rd inning, with a Finegan RBI single, and an Robare RBI 2B to make it 4-0, and then Velasquez and Basner would have back-to-back HRs, Velasquez's to RF, and Basner's HR just bouncing off the top of the wall in LF, to make it 7-0 after 3. It got a little testy in the later innings when Spencer was pulled after the 6th inning. In thr 8th, with the score now 11-2, Rowand got an RBI single up the niddle, and Lamb got a bloop single to bring in 2, to make it 11-5, and ending Kershner's day in relief. Enrique Gonzalez then came in, and in the 9th, Mauer got an infield single to bring in a run to make it 11-6, but that was all they got.

Any comments/questions/concerns so far with this log? What should I improve, what should I get rid of, what do you like, what do you dislike, all that stuff? I'd really appreciate any feedback, even if it is negative.

I like that you are implicating "telecasts."

Also the format in which you are doing the games seem to be fine.

I really like the way you commentate during telecasts. It's full of energy and awesome. I also like the way you write your text recaps.

BREAKING NEWS
MiilionAir Sign SP

LAS VEGAS, NV - The MillionAir today signed 28-year old SP Tim Bishop (NCS) to a 1-year, 960 point contract. Bishop features a 92 mph Top Speed, complimented by a Level 4 knuckleball and a level 1 curveball. In AAA, he won the championship against the GalaxySharks, so they have championship experience on the roster. To make room for NCS in the rotation, all they had to do was fill in a spot in the roster. Roberto Conti now moves to the Swing Man position.
