Dad 2007
From MLB Power Pros Wiki
Your father (named Alan) in the game seems to be a bit of a lazy good-for-nothing, but if you get on his good side and keep him happy, he'll help you train your abilities further. The way to get this training involves getting your Dad in a better mood.
Rumor has it that he used to be a top baseball prospect but quit for some reason. You find his glove cleaning the house during the third week of March in the 1st year:
- using a "No" fate card will begin the storyline of your dad coming to help you hone your baseball skills
- using the "Marvin" card means your player gives the glove to Marvin, and in return gets Marvin's Bat.
- using the "Yes" fate card will throw out the glove.
- using the "Challenge" fate card means you play catch with your dad but you will end up losing 70$.
Later, he will ask you to help with a home-maintenance job.
- using a "No" fate card will make him in a worse mood
- using the "Marvin" card will allow Marvin to help your Dad instead, making him in a better mood, and saving Vitality
- using the "Yes" fate card will have you help your Dad, making him in a better mood.
- using the "Challenge" fate card will have take your Dad's job, putting him in a worse mood.
On other occasions related to his home-maintenance job, he will be successful with his job and will seek you out to give you some money. Other times, he will do poorly, get fired, and seek to take money from you. In order to advance the training storyline, you must accept. There is no decision possible. However, you must sleep or practice during those weeks.
After your scout talks to dad about showing you the real dad, dad will soon ask you if you want to improve your breaking ball.
- using"Challenge" fate card (suggested) will start the training of your custom pitch.
- using"Yes" fate card will give you more breaking ball experience points.
- using"No" fate card (will ?)
- using"Marvin" fate card (will ?)
If you are a hitter then
- Yes-
- Challenge- Strength up Technique up Motivation up Vitality down Chance for Spray Hitter
- Marvin-
- No-
Your Dad's training will boost your stats - but is most important for pitchers. He can take one of your breaking pitches and change it. It's overall break will be similar but there will be upgrades. The pitch will become your custom pitch and you can name it. The upgrading is not from the ability boost screen, but only happens when your Dad comes back to train with you.
