Player Edit Thread 09 (Music, stances, accessories, numbers, etc.)

Re: Player Edit Thread 09 (Music, stances, accessories, numbers, etc.)

I download the roster (I told ya thanks in the thread! ) and I like some of them. Personally, I like the players to have the same FT (follow-through) if at all possible. (which Carew hates but irregardless...)

Francouer seemed pretty similar to Wood, except there's a little more bat movement and the FT is similar. Also, Kinslar doesn't seem to have his hands as far out as Wood does like w/Frenchy's it is a little more closer to his body.

The Byrd=Mornaeu is okay but Mornaeu is tapping the bat like his shoulder has an itch or something...Spilbourghs has bat movement similar to Byrd but not hyperactive like Mornaeu's.

Hamilton, in all the videos available on mlb.com had his front heel off the ground a little like Chris Young and both CY & DY stances have similar bat movement (but agreed - CY is a little more upright)

By no means am I saying you're wrong and I know you've worked on all of these players extensively. As I've said before it's like comparing apples - one's red and one's green but they're both apples and gets the job done.

And they both do taste so good...

Re: Player Edit Thread 09 (Music, stances, accessories, numbers, etc.)

I didn't have any time to play today so that's on my to-do list for tomorrow is to hopefully get some time to knock out some stances and motions for those in need.

I was busy all day today and I just got done watching Greinke through a total gem to outduel Kevin Milwood..

CG, 0 R, 7 hits, 10 K's, 0 BB's ... 3-0 0.00 ERA

I now hate you and all that the royals stand for.

I like Burnett for Grienke his old one isn't that good and he has that awkward release.

I went with Scot Shields for Greinke after watching him yesterday. He starts with his hands higher and then drops then while starting his motion and I like the Shields follow through better because Zack always looks like he puts that extra "oomph" into his release. Shields' motion also has that slight back turn Greinke has during his motion.

Beau, that's awesome. That's the kind of edits I like to see

[PLite14]

Re: Player Edit Thread 09 (Music, stances, accessories, numbers, etc.)

Ryan Theriot
Batting Stance: Xavier Nady

I think SCEA gave him a new stance for this year (not sure if it's hidden or not), but Nady's stance seems even better.

DISREGARD

Theriot's original stance is much better.

I figured with the amount of work so many put in around here it's the least I can do..

Plus I'm a stickler for the details.. Anything I can do/change to represent the game in more of a true to life fashion I do

Very helpful indeed.

Everything in the blogs is up to date, except I still have to go over the Atlanta thread per WakeUnc2321's request. If Knight's updated rosters (all the 2009 acquisitions are made) are up for download, I plan on making all of the edits from the blogs and posting a roster file in case anyone would like to save the time. Though I'm sure Knight (as well as wookie48 in his roster) already made plenty of stance changes.

So what's the book on Kinsler? So far I have Brandon Wood, J. Francoeur, Bloomquist, and of course, I. Kinsler. I'll have to look through these when I get home, unless someone has the game before them and can settle this now.

Naw, it's not a request...it's all gravy so I'm not worried about it or anything. If you want to, I think it's page 4 or something (or if you'd prefer I can just post it all here - you're call).
