How many of you create players?

[stlstudios189]

I was just wondering if you guys create yourself or other fictional players in you games. I create myself, my brother. brother-in-law, and 2 brothers I created.
I keep it realistic
me: 85 overall 94 power
brother: 83 overall 84 power
in-law: 88 overall 90 power, 92 speed

I know 94 power but I keep my speed and fielding low (70ish)

I usually create a whole team and play with them. But that's not possible this year, thank you very much VC for removing stances and deliveries.

I usually create one and then sign him to a team and base a whole franchise around him.

Mike Zach (99) SP

I usually go with:
100 FB (100 mph)
100 Eephus (55 mph)
100 Knuckler (69 mph)
100 Curve (72 mph)
100 Slider (93 mph)

That way I get three great moving pitches and two great power pitches (and the slider with movement)

Re: How many of you create players?

I created myself just to get the gamerscore. It was kinda fun I guess, with all the intricate options to tinker with by changing almost all facet of faces and gears and stuff.

I'm a 2nd baseman, speedy lefty with overall score of 78.

I have a 3B named Clete Torres that I did just to have the trophy.

Other than that, I don't create a lot of players. But I do like to have at least AAA accurate rosters. So others use them to create the rosters I'll use.

Re: How many of you create players?

I created pretty much all the top prospects for the A's because I hated the fact that you can't change the color of anyone in the game. The top two A's pitching prospects that might be in the opening day roster are two 21 year old white guys and in the game they are black. Plus some prospects weren't even in the game so I just went ahead and took out all of the ones they did have, with adjusted ratings so they wouldn't end up on any teams and then substituted them with all my created ones. I guess I did about 10 or 12.

I was going to make the team from Major League but it didn't go well and I don't like how the stadium looks in this.

I did make a pitcher large as possible and gave him nothing but the unusal pitches,it was fun for a game...'cept during the on field plays he'd shape shift back to a normal size.

Re: How many of you create players?

In the past, I'll create me and few friends/former teamates. I'll throw everyone in the free agent pool (except me, who gets picked up by whatever team I decide to play with) and then over the course of a season or two, they will start to pop up on other teams as I play them. I try to make everyone pretty good to ensure their chances of making the MLB team, but not 100 rated players so they dominate.

I would do this if there was a superstar mode where i could build my player through the levels.

But you can still put you in the game, sort of living the dreams. I know it's not RttS, but you can still track how you're doing in your favorite team.

Re: How many of you create players?

I enjoy creating players from the past. The thing is 2K9's face tool leaves alot to be desired.

Just for the record The Show has a terrific face tool and I hope VC comes up with something like it in 10'.
