AnthraxFan93 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Losing money. Podsednik Gooch Big Hurt Rowand Everett/Dye Pierzynski Gload/Ginter Uribe Crede <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What is your attendance like? As much as I want to keep the current roster, I can't afford them.

nitetrain8601 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still learning the game with the new lineup and staff.. I am 12-5 I think, playing on Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) 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. Edited March 10, 2005 by whitesoxin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 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.

Soxbadger Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
