What is your attendance like? As much as I want to keep the current roster, I can't afford them.

 

Does anyone know how long you can go before you are forced to retire because you are out of money?

3 years. Trade the current Sox for nothing but prospects and pick up a guy in FA named James Allen I believe(it says J. Allen) and he's an OF. Develop him and then convert him to a 2B. He turns into a golden glover and silver slug hitter.

I did, I have one person on my team making over 1mil and that is Rowand. I also have about 15-20 Top 100 Prospects.. Still learning the game with the new lineup and staff..

 

I am 12-5 I think, playing on Pro.

basicly you are most likely going to lose some money at the end unless you go to the playoffs where you can make like over a million a game.

I'm actually making money in April with my currect roster, so far my stadium has one of every vendor and 3 stores.

I made $850,000 in a game versus the Indians. The game impact was 8/10 because I was in first and the Indians were in second. I raised my ticket prices to about $70, $60, and $50. It worked out great. About 13,000 was my attendance, 1,000 over my seasons average. The other 2 games of the series i made 800k and 750k.

 

Edit: This wasn't a playoff game. Just a regular June series.

Get Prince Fielder, he turns out to be ridiculously awesome.

Please excuse my laziness, but I don't wanna look through 55 pages to find this, but.....

 

Has anyone figured out pretty fair ratings to give Iguchi when you create him?

I'm fed up with playing on All-Star. The sliders don't work. Bottom of the 12th, 2 out, tied 1-1. Royals vs Sox. Hermanson pitching to soome garbage ass, no name Royal infielder. Fastball down and in, his cold zone, WACK!, a 32957632457 foot HR and I lsoe the game, 2-1. f*** that bulls***. I'm playing on Pro.

Haha, just because it's in his cold zone doesn't mean it's unhittable.

 

Pro is so boring.

Pro with Sliders.

Not according to you.

Well I got the game the other day and have been playing on All-Star with all preset levels. Its been some what frustrating getting better, but that is my own fault because I swing at every pitch instead of working the counts. But sue me the last time I legitimately played a baseball game was Baseball Stars so Ill need some time.

 

The game is good, just really slow and very awkward in the trading, off-season, and pretty much every menu.

 

Just gonna have to grind out some more batting practice, and that damn pitching game is annoyingly hard.

 

SB

i play on All Star and while i can pitch lights out i cant hit worth a damn.... But in the end pitching wins games and im like 16-8 so far. Crawford my only .300 hitter lol, most are either 250ish or lower.

 

Lineup:

LF:Carl Crawford

CF:Vernon Wells

1B:Mark Teixiera

RF:Miguel Cabrera

C:Joe Mauer

3B:Victor Martinez

2B:David Wright(he actually has done better fielding at 2nd than 3rd)

SS:BJ Upton

P:.....

 

Starting Rotation:

Peavy .44 era

Perez .40 era

Greinkie 2.31 era

Hernandez(guy on royals) 3.11 era

Edwin Jackson 4.25 era

Question: Has anyone picked off a CPU runner?

Followup: How many times would you say you have been picked off?

Thanks a lot for finding that!!

Once, and about 10.

So far I'm like 0 and about 15 I'd say. It seems like taking a two-step is just asking for it with most guys. I think it should be possible to pick off CPU runners because they take two-step leads all the time.
