I'm trying to figure out how to play this thing, and it's a bit of a task for someone who's never played a Baseball game before... and dont' know a lot about the actual sport. I've gotten a decent grasp on the controls and can do "ok" in an exibition game. But...
I've tried success mode 3 times, and got fired every time, and some things just don't make since.
1) When I was learning to pitch, I set the controls to expert. In success mode, I can't find this option. It's like the game mechanics are preset and you just have to deal with it. How do I change it?
2) During the first year, I always have the coach tell me there's trade offer for me to go up to AAA. He tells me to think about it and let him know if I want to go. I see no option to take advantage of this, and a few weeks later, he tells me that since I didn't make up my mind, the offer is gone. How do I tell him I accept?
3) At the end of the first season, I always get fired, even though I train as much as possible, do great in my limited portions of play, and always pass the scout's "test" at the end. What does the game look for to not fire you? Stats? Attributes? I don't seem to have failed anything, yet I get fired each time.
4) My one time I created a Center fieder, I got to bat a couple of times per game, but I NEVER got to play center field. I don't understand why.
There's so much I love about this game, but I just don't understand how a lot of it works, and what the game is looking for to be considered successful. And yes... I've read the manual : )
Thanks for any help you guys can give!
