    Re: Manage only Mode Thread

    Jim316;

    Thanks alot for the detailed answer with my questions about ASB2005 manage only mode.

    Lets say I agree to do the roster edits for each series. Will this fix most of the problems? I don't mind spending the time, but does it result in a playable product?

    Without searching through this vast post, can you give me a quick guide to the edits you make before each series to the opposing team?

    Thanks alot, I really appreciate it.

      PhilliesFan,

      I love this game with the edits. I have played games on LEGEND, HOF, MOM with RANDOM pitch counts, SMART pitch counts and 1-0 pitch counts and have enjoyed every game I played. Even the whippin' I got on HOF.

      The player models are great. The pitching/batting behind the pitcher is just awesome. Admittedly I use ASSISTED fielding (I just throw), so I can't tell you whether or not MANUAL fielding is good or not.

      I think when Knight releases his lineups it will be awesome. Especially with the tweaks added.

            Have you guys seen any of the player specific homerun celebrations like Sosa's, Klesko's, Griffey's or Ramirez? I've seen Sosa hit some homers but I have yet to see his hop celebration. Do they even do the homerun celebrations in the manage mode?

                  Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the fact that you can not only play this game with manage only, but "play" the game too sometimes.

                  More specifically, Can you give me a guide to setting up my franchise in manage only mode? Specifically the difficulty level, type of count (smart,etc,2-0,1-0,2-1,etc). I prefer not to start with a fixed count. Also what global edits should I make?

                        My first week is in the books. My Cardinals are 3-4, and like the real team is having some pitching problems. My game 7 was much like todays. Randy Johnson pitched for Arizona and the Cards jumped on him for a 5-1 lead, just like in real life. The D'backs tied the score late off the bullpen, just like in real life, but my Cards lost 7-6, while the real boys won. In the game ,Rolen has hit 4 hrs, and Pujols has 3. I would be thinking those are too high of power numbers, but it matches reality exactly. Too cool.

                        I've dabbled with different pitch counts, and came back to the 2-0 count as my favorite. Smart count resulted in my team walking 10 and being behind in the count almost constantly. 2-0 still results in some walks, but overall it is my favorite. I really am appreciating the comments from all you Manage Only types out there.

                        I'm wondering about Clevecluby, however. Did he give up on the game?
