for those of you older guys, remember the glory days of baseball stars, man what a game.
for those that are unaware, you were allowed to create players but you had very limited attribute points to spend on these players. basically, you couldnt create a star player and add him to your team. BUT, from what i remember, as you played games and won, you earned $$ which in turn you could spend on making some players better by increasing some skills. IMO, it was so much better then today's games where you simply create the phenom you want without any effort/issue.
i just notied this on the spec for Inside Pitch and it reminded my - in some ways- of my old baseball stars gaming days.
"Training Tracks. Maybe a gamer’s favorite team needs a big bat at first. High-quality players don’t just step out of the cornfield. They need to be taught how to play the game, shown how to perform in high-pressure situations, and nurtured until they’re ready for the show. Eighteen training subgames encompass all aspects of the game, from fielding and pitching to hitting. If a created player does well enough, he’ll earn skill points and be on his way to superstar status. "
i know its not the same, but its nice to see a game do something a little different, an added twist to player creation.
