Power Pros Forum

(Note: Team name, full roster, etc. will be decided later.)

For now, the team will be made entirely of 2007 Success Mode players created by me, and more players may be added as I go through the mode. All games will be played manually (CPU Expert, my fielding Semi-Auto expert, my batting lock-on 5), and the Draft will be disabled. Agents may be selected, and team meetings will be held after every series.

I will also post a box score of all players' stats per game.

Edit: CPU settings may be adjusted to All-Star/Powerful.

Also, you may have up to 2 clients (as an agent).

Cool, I'm excited! Playing every game might be a little much though. Are you gonna post about every game too? You could play every game, but only post 1 of each series.

I might just post once per series, but post about all the games. I don't have it all figured out yet.

However, the roster will include only the Fresno Flyers players.

I'll follow.

Heh. For now, the roster only has two pitchers and 3 fielders, so it may take a day or two to fill out the roster (if I play Success Mode for all of my free time).

But do not fear, for I have not failed in Success Mode for 2 attempts!

And also, next up is Mariners 1B/LF Mike Carp, who went 3-for-4 with 2 RBI and a run in his first game yesterday!

I will follow as well.

I was only 2-for-6 today as far as creating players. The new additions are outfielder Matt Carson and pitcher Brad Ziegler.

Perhaps it will take longer than expected- I've got stuff to do this morning, but I'll try to get in some Success Mode this afternoon!

Is anyone still following this? If so, can you tell me why I always fail with a hitter?

There's not really much to follow yet but yes I am. And its probably because you don't have enough scout eval. Just kidding, try doing really well in games. Save before every game, then if you do bad, you can just quit and play the game over again. I didn't even need to practice to get eval for Alex Gordon, since he did so good in games.

I shall do some following.

I figured it out, I need to use contact swing more.

I'll follow!

Great news! The log will start soon, maybe even as soon as today! I will post the roster soon, and agents may be selected after that.
