FRANCHISE PROGRESS

Re: FRANCHISE PROGRESS

active day in the forum guys. We have a ton of Phillies Dynasties going on in here. I feel like the enemy in the room playing as the Mets. I am a Tigers fan but, just felt like changing it up and using a NL team this season there is a lot more moves to make with a hitting pitcher. Will hopefully get a game in tonight against the Braves. My created pitcher Arron Law starts tonight. He is 2-0 after 3 starts with a 4.50 ERA and 16 k's

First off I am not talking about anyone going undefeated!
The guys name is UNDEFEATED that I am responding to.
Also in baseball it is not called officating, we have umps not officals.
And there is not awful umpiring in this game, I have not seen a bad call yet.

Right then.

Umpiring doesn't look right so I stuck with officating.

I've seen plenty of bad calls. I'm not talking on the corner debatable stuff either.
I've taken a pitch that was in the dirt that passed by the catcher and they called it a strike. I've thrown a curveball that landed in the other batting box,though stopped by the catcher called a strike. Tons of other balls,that were clearly,no doubt balls get called strikes too.

I'm luckily still 10-0 in franchise. Accidently simmed a game,won 10-7,I had already played the game after it so just stuck with it. Despite having turned injuries off apprently in the last game I played Manny got injured again even though he still has that first injury that never went away.

Speaking of terrible glitches I've now hit 2 inside the park HRs with Pablo Sandoval because as I've found out if you switch sides sometimes the AI fielders just don't do anything when the ball is hit into play. So now I can't justify switching sides anymore if I want to.

Since Molina was sucking I put Sandoval at catcher and Rohlinger at 3rd. Also gave Uribe a try at SS.

I won 2-1 in 10 innings last night. I was down 1-0 in the 9th w/ 2 outs and boom Wright hits his 5th homer to tie the game. In the 10th I hit back to back doubles and score the run. K-Rod picked up his 3rd save on the season. I still can't score, and I allowed 14 hits and only one run I had two runners on base and was in a jam every inning except the 9th and 10th. Mets are now 11-6 and tied for 1st.

What slider set are you using?

Re: FRANCHISE PROGRESS

Wily Mo Pena is said to be outright released by the Nats. Since I control the Nats, I'm going to release him, and perhaps sign him as an FA for KC.

I think he could be a good DH/Pwr bat in that lineup. What do you guys think?

Just heard he may be headed back to the Reds.

Really. Where it all started. I'd love him on my Royals team. I signed him as an FA in MLB2K8 when I was using the O's. I could simply mash w/ him.

JBH3's slider set I think it's me being too greedy trying to hit the long ball and my timing is just way off.

That surely would do it. Who were you up against, team/pitcher.

Re: FRANCHISE PROGRESS

Hey JB and others on here, when transactions happen in real life MLB, do you guys make the corresponding move in your franchises? I'm just curious cuz I dont know if I want to do this in mine when I start it. I'm sure that would be a lot of work checking the transactions and making that move every single day.

Re: FRANCHISE PROGRESS

I am starting to see more HR's. I only got in half a game this morning, and I am winning 3-2. Seeing some offensive from the Braves(McCann jacked a center field bomb), and Werth and Ibanez had solo jacks. I am trying a different approach closer to my old sliders I posted earlier. I am hoping to find a solid balance.

15 errors in 13 games (2 from the sim) with the error slider at 0.
