Power Pros Forum

Tell me when you start. Because we don't want 2 of the same players on here.

If anybody wants to they could do a second player after Luke is done.

Just waiting for now...

*Sigh* nobody is paying attention to my request again.

Last chance for anybody to make my guy. I'll keep it up for a day or two and then bump it if nobody does it.

And then I'll request a different character

Oh come on, there's got to be somebody who can do this... looking at all of the maxed pitchers around here.

O.K. I will make him for you. It will probably take me a few days. Here is my resume on pitchers that I have created so far

Indianpols Stallions

Let me know if you have any additional special requests. I will probably start later tonight.

Just started last night, but only got to play for a few minutes. It may take me a little longer than usual. I didn't know what team you wanted him to play for, since it wasn't listed, but I assumed since you have Phillies as your favorite team that you probably wouldn't mind if he played for the Phillies.

So, I reloaded him a couple of times just to get decent starting stats, and this is what I got

Top Speed: 80
Control: 109
Stamina: 39
Poor Sense

So, I thought, you know I probably could deal with the poor sense, so I got started. I also gave him a pitching form of Jose Contreras. I am not for sure, but I belive if I make his age 19, that will put the year he was born as 88, but that is a long ways off. I set the voice for the character to JOHNSON.

Your comment about Control as high as you can get; do you mean as high a C that I can get or as high a ranking that I can get.

Also, could you tell me the numbers that you want for hair style and color. It would make it easier for me as well as all the other settings that you said leave as is. You can go edit a player to find the numbers. Also, if I have a bunch of points left over after I get the original slider to 7, do you want me to upgrade for any fielding/hitting abilities/special abilities?

What do you want your original pitch to be called: "Red Dots". This is a nickname given to White Castle hamburgers other than "Sliders", because after you sit with your knees on your elbows on the porcelin for the next few hours getting rid of your Castles, Large Red Dots are what is left on your knees.

Note: I will not be posting every MLBPP week. Also, I will be writing in first person from Luke's perspective.

February

Week 1-1: I started my career with the GreenApples looking for something to do besides baseball, so I went to the street and bought a CD. It had a really good rhythm and I learned a knew technique, Gd Pace.
Week 2-1: There was nothing really to do around the city, so I decided to go ahead and practice my Strength in order to build up some Stamina.
Week 3-1: Boy this town is dead, there is nothing to do around here, and I really don't feel like practicing today, so I Progressed forward.
Week 4-1: I noticed Frank lurking around the Lookout, so I decided to go since I didn't know much about him. Frank asked me if I wanted to practice, and I said sure lets work on our upper body and we did. Frank showed me a technique that could give me a boost in Recovery, but I don't want to be that kind of pitcher, so I told Frank that I didn't want it (S/L).
Week 4-2: Hey, Frank is still at the Lookout. I really like Frank, so I went. He asked if I wanted to go get something to drink. I didn't have any money, so I asked Frank to buy. He didn't mind. Frank is such a great guy!

March

Week 2-1: I decided to go ahead and practice because Marvin has really been bugging me about getting my butt in gear. So, I decided to work on my breaking ball. I have practiced about 5 times already this week and I still can't seem to get it right, maybe I will take a nap and go back out tonight and see if I can get it right.

Till next time....

Phillies are fine.
I would like the original pitch to be called The Joker.
I'll need to check the appearance numbers when I get home.
I would like Gd Morale too.
when I say high c control I mean high c is the minimum. Get it higher if you can.
I value Top Speed over stamina.
I actually don't want you to max him. I'm looking for a low salary type ace. Get as many abilities as you can.

Fielding abilities: (if you have leftover points)

10 contact
high E power
Speed as high as you can
15 arm strength
Fielding and E RES as high as you can (FLD valued over E RES)

I'll give you an exact list of abilities I want after I get home. (3:00-4:00)

And by the way...












THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

An exact list of abilities would be better, because if you leave it open, I could get them all (except gyroball and star of course, since they haven't been found).

Could actually define a range for control, stamina, and top speed, since you don't want them maxed out. I would suggest the following ranges:

Stamina 155 (A) - 165 (A)
Control 150 (C) - 165 (B)
Top Speed 93 - 99

I assume the level of the pitches you have are exactly what you want except for "The Joker" which any where from 4 to 7 would be o.k. If "The Joker" is too long, can I call it "Joker".

If you would like a different team, let me know now, I have only played 5 weeks. Pretty easy to restart. I probably will start again about 8:00 tonight.

Lowering the breaking balls even more
Breaking Balls:
KN 7
SCB 4
SNK 1
ORIG with Rise SLD 1 or 2 (Name: Rising Slider or Riser) I'm so creative!



a list of abilities: (in order of importance)


Spin 4
Dr. K
W/RISP 4
FB Life 4
Groundball Pitcher
Lucky
Gd Delivery
Poise 4
Release 4
Recovery 4
Gd Low Pitch
Gd Reflexes

Bunt Master
Grt Inf Htr
Clutch Hit 4/5
Gd Pinch Hitter

Gold Glover
Barehand Catch
Pivot Man
Tough Runner

Gd Pace
Gd Morale
Aggressive FLD

Yes as a pitcher, I don't think it is possible to get "Other" Tab abilities related to hitting, since random events only give you pitcher based abilities. Although Gd Small Ball could be a pitcher ability, it probably isn't coded that way.

I meant to list Break Up DP in the list, nobody nows how to get it yet either.

here I'll edit the post to get rid of those abilities.

Oh yeah, by the way, 93-100 mph top spd, STAM 155-200, CTRL 150-170.
Phillies are fine.

If you really want to start over, you could give him a different pitching form (I don't like Jose Contreras form anymore. Dontrelle Willis) No pressure. Your choice.

Last night, my wife wanted to watch a movie, so I was unable to start on your character. So, I promise that I will make your character, but tonight when rolling for your character (on the second roll), I got my first Genius ever (2007 and 2008 combined - I have made a total of about 35 characters now); therefore, you are going to have to wait for your character, while I try to max this guy out. Looks like you will get your character sometime next week.

Starting stats for my Genius

Top Spd: 83
Ctrol: 120 (D)
Stam: 50 (E)
Good Sense
Pitches: CB (2), SNK (1)

I am pretty sure this is a Genius! I will sim forward to my first playable game and check the data plate.

Yup. That's a genius all right. go max him out. I'll wait, as long as you don't forget about him
