if you're in owner mode, it's actually smarter for you to keep those prospects because you'll lose money(even if you win a WS) right away. You have to wait until you build up your stadium at least a little bit before going out and trading for all the big name guys. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Ok, I finally turned profit after my third season(4 million) so I ask, "what should I invest my money in?" I have the normal stadium(only 20,000 seats, hotdog concession stand and that's about it) so what should I do so I make profit again? Oh yes, I won the World Series in my third year and the only White Sox still on the team was AJ Pierzynski. Everyone else were a bunch of young guys. My starting rotation was all under 25(Zambrano, Harden, Oliver Perez, Edwin Jackson, Jerome Williams) and all the position players were prospects that came up).

If you created Iguchi first, then he's probably not there. If you created after the roster download, then go to create/edit player then search for created player.

Yeah, it's hard making a profit in owner mode. I won the World Series my first year with the Sox and only made $67,000. The next year I went into debt and by the third year I lost the White Sox. I'm doing it on medium also, but the only time you could raise ticket prices are against, your rivals, and the first place in the league which sometimes won't be in the AL. Very Very Hard. I'm going to start up a new one tommorow and trade a bunch of players away. In my last year I made the wildcard with: Carlos Zambrano Rich Harden Jerome Williams Casey Lamel(came from Phillies system and only was 23) Edwin Jackson My bullpen was 25 and younger with the exception of Lidge. The only guys that remained from the White Sox of today were Crede, Harris(after I resigned him in the offseason from trading him) and Posednik who's on the pine because I have about 7 minor leaguers ready for the big leagues.

Same as last year, if a pitch is in the hot spot(at stomach or higher) press up and any direction you want to hit it at and it will be a fly ball. I actually have no problems hitting HR's. I have a harder time hitting singles. I always get extra base hits.

Oh yeah, the closest thing I find to Jerry Owens is the Nationals 2nd best prospect in 1A, CF- J. Corey....I'm pretty sure he's Jesse Owens though he only has 85 speed.

Thanks, I'll be applying that. And also, I like putting a medium setting instead of high setting for the owner mode so it's like I'm try to build up all the way. It's much harder, but that's how in real life it works.

I agree, frisbee is dead on.

Check the Nationals, I don't know. Oh yeah, I effed up in my first season of Owner mode. Bought a bunch of entertainment, but didn't buy any concessions whatsoever. Was in debt 8 million dollars by mid-June. I also love though how you could trade for anyone without having to worry about payroll because you're the boss. I love this. And all the managers and coaches in the game are great. Ozzie was tossed in one of my games and my pitching coach called all the shots and I wasn't able to just like in real life such as pitching change and pinch runners.

BTW, this game has the Sox 1980 Alternate jersey in there.

Nope, all rosters are of Jan 12th. White Sox are ranked 12th in pitchings, 14th in hitting, 9th in fielding and 9th in speed/running

Great move by the Cowboys. This is a move for Bill Parcells mostly since he just doesn't want to develop a QB.

Ok, there is no number rating on the players, but everything is right where it should be IMO with the exception of AJ Pierzynski. He's very underrated in the game. 2nd worst player on the Sox 25 man rotation only ahead of Jon Adkins.

I just got it, going to eat first, then tell you all the rankings for the Sox.

I've been saying this. Sox fans have been jumping the gun on Willie being gone. I don't think he will be honestly. I see him being a sub on the bench.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) seriously? there goes owner mode for me Yeah, you have to build up your team and get more fans to come to upgrade your stadium, so basically don't pick the Pirates and D-Rays of the league because you'll always have a minor league ballpark.

I'm going to get mine tommorow too. My gamestop doesn't get it until tommorow, so I'll just go right after school.

It's true. These numbers do work or did at some point. It was on my yahoo home page and some Victoria lady said she kept getting called and then she had to shut off her phone, then turned it on and then kept getting called so she had it get it cut off or something like that.

I like it. The only thing I would add is the 360 dunk, but it's all good. Nice job.

is it any good kalapse and where did you get it at?

ps2 here also

I hope to somehow get money to pick it up tommorow.

My picks are Buffalo and New Orleans. Both finished strong last year and both have talent. I view a Superbowl sleeper as a team that hasn't made the playoffs in at least 3 years.

Felix Diaz(as much as it hurts) won't be strong in that game. Beltre will be overrated, but Ross Gload won't put up the numbers of Crede.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) my first move as white sox GM will be to trade Konerko and El Duque and Joe Crede for Adrian Beltre, make Ross Gload my 1B and put Felix Diaz into the rotation. Hopefully i can get a replacement for Podsenick too because he is :banghead hope you don't plan on making the playoffs with that team.
