Who's Phil Never?

It's the nickname for injury-prone Phil Nevin.

So two freak injuries diving for balls after changing positions makes him injury prone. Well, I have to agree with you, it's not because he wasn't injured in last year's game, but I think he got shafted in ASB with his stats, I mean, I simmed one season (the first season, don't know why, just felt like it) and he played 160 games, only 16 homers and .240 average. C'mon, the guy was out for a while and that automatically makes him mediocre. I don't think he'll have a third major injury, unless he wants to pull a Griffey.

He was awesome in ASB 2003, now what happened, all the glory is going to Klesko.

Re: New ASB article at IGN

I love injuries in a game. It makes you have to manage your roster more and above all, just like in real life, it can make or break your team. Though I hate seeing my players get hurt for long durations, I seem to have more fun trying to keep the ship a float until they get back. After reading IGN's review of MVP 2004, I am very satisfied with my purchase of ASB 2005.

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING.........!!!!

That was a really nice article but it sent off a huge concern that I have had all along. It also tells me instantly that the problem I was most concerned about still exist. And obviously it has not been fixed.

LACK OF OFFENSE AND LOW PITCHING ERA.....

</font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr />
The Banditos are 10th in the National League in hitting and 10th in pitching headed into the All-Star Break, and the team is a little over .500 even though Urbina and Durham have also suffered serious injuries and I've had to call up some youngsters from AAA.

My team ERA is down to 2.43......

<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">

10’th in the league, An expansion team with an ERA of 2.43, using players out of the minors... WOW... A ERA team ave. for a tenth rated should be no lower than 3.95 and ave. about 4.+

I don't know about you, But if you don't see the problem with this, you certainly can't be too concerned with realistic baseball.

This was a huge problem for Manager type people last year and I really can't believe that Acclaim hasn't addressed this.

Now, I realize that I’m basing my opinion off of this latest article... But it sure does bring up a warning sign for me... I think I will now cancel my order until I read what other Manage mode players report...

The lack of offense and low pitch ERA's were a game killer for me last year and I don't want to waste money on the same problem.

God, I sure hope I'm wrong...

Re: New ASB article at IGN

The whole sentance is "I continue to tear through September as my team ERA is down to 2.43 through the last 10 games"

I think what that means is his pitching has been very hot the past 10 games, and its team ERA during those 10 games is 2.43.

Exactly how I read it.
He team probably shows up on the "Who is Hot" list. Team ERA, 2.45 last 10 games.

Re: New ASB article at IGN

I don't read it that way, but then I am probably looking at it through a skeptical point of view..

I really hope that you both are right, Those are the only issues I am really worried about in this game. Other than that, It was a great game last year.

Here's too hoping you are right and I am wrong...
