Re: Return of the Tomahawk -- Atlanta Braves MLB2K7

Hey Kredit, are you still using Heelfan's sliders with the adjustments you have back a few pages?

Yes sir. I have lowered the user contact slider to 25, though.

Yes sir. I have lowered the user contact slider to 25, though.

Thanks man. Your dynasty is looking great. I'm so jealous as I can't find a happy medium. Hopefully with trying these sliders I'll get there.

My batting averages are the only thing that's giving me trouble. Recently they've been coming back down to earth, though.

Re: Return of the Tomahawk -- Atlanta Braves MLB2K7

I don't think average will be a problem with me. In my first two games with these I had 9 hits combined. 2 in the first, 7 in my last. I use the Orioles. I'm 0-4 in stolen base attempts though, how many do you have with it set at 55? Also, do you use the batter's eye? Thanks.

Re: Return of the Tomahawk -- Atlanta Braves MLB2K7

My team leader in steals is Kelly Johnson with 13, but his % isn't that great. I think he's been caught like eight times! Edgar Renteria has like five, and Andruw Jones has one, I believe. I do use the batter's eye.

Bill Hall Homers Brewers Past Braves
Mark Redman was rendered ineffective against Milwaukee
Brewers 7, Braves 1


Bill Hall hit two homeruns in the series finale against ATL

Milwaukee, WI -- In most instances, the Braves can count on Mark Redman to deliver with a quality outing. Against Milwaukee, though, things didn't go quite as planned for Atlanta. The lefthanded starter went just two innings before Bobby Cox pulled the plug, and gave up six earned runs in his effort. Jeff Suppan went 6.1 innings for the Brewers and finished with the win after allowing just a single run.

The Milwaukee offense was dynamic in the final game of the series, as the Brew Crew homered five times and scored seven runs. Rickie Weeks went 2-4 with a double and a homerun after sputtering through the first couple of games against Atlanta, and really served as a catalyst for the Brewers. Bill Hall was the highlight of the afternoon, as the centerfielder was 3-4 with his seventh and eighth homers of the season.

WP: Jeff Suppan (7-3) - 6.1 IP, 5 K, 6 H, ER

Re: Return of the Tomahawk -- Atlanta Braves MLB2K7

The averages are slowly coming down, so they should be more accurate next month. Kelly Johnson is just ********, though. It seems like he gets two hits every game... no matter what.
