Player Edits (Equipment, #'s, Stances, ect.)

Re: Player Edits (Equipment, #'s, Stances, ect.)

I forgot Shane Victorino.

His own batting stance on the game is wrong. Lol.

I think Yogi Berra's is much more accurate for him.

Also his arm is much stronger and more accurate then the rating they gave him.

This is the latest completed Phillies updated info. Sorry about posting it again.

Add a Sinker to his Pitches (remove the 2 seam FB) based on a ratings scale of 0-100:

Speed 35
Control 60
Break 65

Jamie Moyer

Music: Classic Rock

Tom Gordon

Glove: Black
Pitch Style: Gen 19

Ryan Madson

Jayson Werth

Also add 3B Pedro Feliz from the FA list for one of the fake AAA players like E. Blackburn if you didn't do the roster upgrade yet.

No more leg kick at all for El Duque. He got rid of it to keep strain off his leg

Here is an article from the Daily News that discusses this at length.

Re: Player Edits (Equipment, #'s, Stances, ect.)

First, Chien-Ming Wang already has a changeup in the game. I'm an idiot. I must have been going off of the default rosters before the update.

More Yankees Updates as per ST Game vs. Pittsburgh 3/13:

Chien-Ming Wang: Yankees
Sinker: Pitch Speed Max
4FB: Pitch Speed -1 clicks

Bobby Abreu: Yankees
Wristbands: None
Glove Color: Blue

Edit: I found that three clicks slowed down Wang's FB too much, so one click should keep it to 96 but out of the 98 range. Also, his sinker maxed will hit 95, which is about right (default puts it at about 89-91 mph).

What about Arod's Stance? I like the bat angle and waggle but hes a bit more crouched.
He had the same as Michael Young in MVP 2005.

Jimmy Rollins stance is wrong too, but I haven't picked out the right one yet. I'll try to have it posted later. I'm off today and plan on playing 08 The Show for at least 12hrs!!

Jimmy Rollins

I'm at work now, but off the top of my head, I think I used Ausmus' stance for him...

Re: Player Edits (Equipment, #'s, Stances, ect.)

Anybody got a new stance for Brandon Phillips (Reds)? The one currently doesn't have him moving the bat enough and it also doesn't have him lifting his heel up when the pitch is coming in. The heel thing is so odd, it doesn't surprise me that it's not in. As for the bat thing, looking through them all I thought Jarrod Saltalamacchia (believe that was on one) was about the closest one I've seen.

Anybody else got a better one for Phillips, or has other Reds fan just been leaving it alone?

I found it! Scott Podsednik's is almost dead on perfect. The front leg a bit open like JRoll, and the bat wiggle looks great too. Rollins stance on the game is too far open and not enough wiggle. Plus his hands are down too low.

Someone last year used (Aurilla) batting stance for A-Rod.

Dunno, I try to keep batting stances the same for players if they are *close* since I'm not sure, but I know in other games if you would change the stance it would alter signature styles for HR's and such, although I don't know if that applies to The Show 08.

I'm fairly happy w/ A-Rod's stance, although feel free to recommend a change.

Also,

Brian Bruney: Yankees
4FB: Pitch Speed +2 clicks (it only reaches 95 default, should hit 98).

I have used A. Soriano for Phillips just because of the bat movement but phillips doesnt have even close to the foot movement of Soriano.

Re: Player Edits (Equipment, #'s, Stances, ect.)

Wagner should change to Brandon Backe

[Rod_Carew29]

@ NYMets945

Is Backe's delivery coming overhand, over-the-top? If so, I'll check it out

Wagner should change to Brandon Backe

[brunnoce]

Re: @ NYMets945

i have fossum right now..looks pretty close, but the out of the streach delivery has nothing to do with gaudin..
