Posting:

* Individual players should be in their own thread, with the full name of the player and position(s) in the title. Don't add superlatives or any other shout outs to it... we will see your guys...
* If you post a team or a set of players, add players by editing your starting post so they're all in the same post. A bump to announce the edit is appropriate.
* Posting images are fine, provided they are small in dimension and data. 800x600 and ~50Kb should be the biggest you can post inline (using the [IMG] tag), anything larger, post a link or a clickable thumbnail instead.
* If you have wiki rights, add your player(s) and team(s) there as well!

does anyone know ocean's stats and stuff? he's definitely the coolest success mode player, making him would be pretty sick (like exactly copying him)

lol :)
Thanks for that, but I really got most of what I know from our little community here. I've asked a lot questions and everyone has been real great at steering me in the right direction. But I guess thats the whole point of this forum....you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours... or I'll at least give you a semi-maxed out player who you'll probably never use because he costs 15,000 out the gate no matter how you register him. :shock: Yeah, I tried putting him in my existing season and also starting a new one and "preregistering" but its the same both ways. Probably too rich for most peoples taste....

Ya, I tried creating a cost effective character but he still ended up being a bit expensive. ($5,800 to sign) He's got terrible batting. (E power and Contact) However his run speed is maxed out, his fielding is all Bs, and most importantly he's got a *lot* of abilities. (All you can buy and quite a few you can't.) The idea being he's crap in his first major league season... batting maybe only .200 or so. Sign him long term for cheap and then train up his contact to start reaping in the rewards. I'll post him later on.

You can get a lot of guys like that early in the draft without the abilities. Especially RF,CF,SS,3B, and C.

Well ya, but considering how hard/impossible it is to transfer abilities from one player to another - I wanted somebody who already had them. hehe Without the abilities, my normal expansion team players who have A contact are still batting between .220 and .270 while my success mode players who have more or less the same batting stats now but have the abilities are batting closer to .400 :?

I didn't think abilities made that much of a difference. :shock: Slugger ability does seem to doom your batting average though.

Just how mediocre are the mediocre RF and others in your photobucket album?

Interesting idea... when you post him point him out ("this is the guy I was talking about",etc.) Since all you need is batting abilities you can purchase the practice bat and then max him out. But if you do max him out, won't he just ask for a raise next season? Have you tried this out? With all the abilities, he may end up costing close to 15,000 too.

That's a good idea, but you have to give him more power. It is a pain to raise in season mode. Contact is very easy to raise in season mode, just have him hit for a high average. Fielding takes forevery to raise also. Run speed is fairly quick even without any equipment. He won't ask for a raise if you put him on the bench the whole season. He will only ask for a raise if he puts up numbers that are better than his previous season.

yeah, ummm... Those guys would fit right among the best of my guys! :wink:

I've got two relievers coming up, both have top speed around 100, and a few maxed-out pitches (level 7 and level 3 2sfb), and a decent amount of abilities. Their biggest weakness is an average of C for control and stamina grades - and I still can't get my dad to train with me!

Well he'll definitely ask for a raise if you raise his abilities, but the idea is that you wait a season before doing it. Maybe spend the first year training his fielding up to A's or something. Then - once his stats for the year suck and you have to resign him - you sign him long term.... for 5 years. (hopefully for cheap since his stats that year suck) THEN you start raising his contact. I'll post him later tonight after work.

Amazing things is those guys were done without the gambling ring. :D
Dad's training is way overrated. Unless you can get a pitch like ryan has with his 100mph super pitch, then it's not worth it. Dave Stewart's custom pitch isn't that much better than a maxed out slider or cutter.
