Turn Back the Clock: 2000 Season Replay-A Subway Series

[Knight165]

I'm currently working on a complete 2000 season replay set(in between working on the Classic Teams set).
Without a doubt this will be the most comprehensive set I've worked on to date.
It will include EVERY player who played in the 2000 season....rated....face...equipment and stances.
This set is meant to be played(but it doesn't have to be if you want to really try and re-write history) with 30 team control on in order to follow the season exactly with transactions.
I will also include a transaction page for each day, so that you can make the trades/releases/signings on the day it happened. I don't know if there is an injury list available anywhere though. Basically with this...what I do is .....buy an appointment book(that lists each date and then has 15 lines for your appointments)...and write the transactions in....check them off as I take that action....for instance....Melvin Mora will start on the Mets and Mike Bordick will start on the Orioles(every player will start on their original team in the set).....they were eventually traded for each other on July 28th. www.baseballreference.com has an excellent transaction page for each team to follow it online if you wish....eg.. http://www.baseball-reference.com/te...sactions.shtml..

I've so far completed(COMPLETELY )...the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox.

If you have a suggestion for batting stance or pitching motion....if you could....put the

TEAM: PLAYER: STANCE/MOTION ....so I can copy/paste it to one place easily to do all at once easily.

Also....I could use a guy to look the set in progress over every few teams to give me some feedback on anything that I might get tunnel vision on.

I would LOVE...LOVE to do this for classic seasons...but without custom league options.....I just don't see it. Lobby SCEA for custom league setup...and we just might be able to replay the '94......'51.......'77......'65....whatever season!

Thanks....and I'm really looking forward to taking revenge on those damn Yankees!

Ha...
Yeah...Baltimore traded EVERYONE except for the IronMan that year or 2001. Crazy.
They had some players on that team in 2000...I can't believe they did that poorly and had to dismantle.

I may be biased...but yes .....it will be!
You my friend ....if you use the Red Sox...have a very good chance to overtake the Yankees. I think you needed just one more front line pitcher. Pedro was phenomenal that year. The wild card was out of the question.....so you gotta catch the W.S. winners.

I agree, for me personally that's the biggest selling point! I'm assuming Pedro will be rated like the phenom he was back then, and using him will be just plain fun for me. But also I really enjoyed the World Series that year and just playing Mets/Yanks in exhibition will be a blast! Really looking forward to this Knight!

Alright, time to re-write history! The Brewers are going to be winners, with a young core of Geoff Jenkins, Richie Sexson, Ronnie Belliard, and Mark Loretta (kinda)! Man, I can't wait until this is done, thanks a bunch!

Awesome. Can't wait for this. Any clue on when you think it will be ready? No rush. Thanks Knight!

This will be amazing. It would be even more awesome if SCEA could include some more classic stadiums as DLC, especially all the cookie cutter/multi-use stadiums so many teams used back in those days. Playing in Tiger Stadium would rule, too. But at least we have Shea, Yankee Stadium and the Metrodome. Can't wait for this, Knight.

Sounds very cool! Cant wait for these! My foundest memory from 2000 was the confrontation between Clemens and Piazza in the World Series.

More classic stadiums...and a custom league editor....I'd do nothing buy season recreations....heck...we'd probably be able to start from any season and run it forward to another point in the future(say 10 seasons).
How great would it be to take The Show from 1951-1961?

Yeah I was thinking before about how I'd want to recreate that by using Clemens and just unleashing my hardest fastball at Piazza's head!

But to get that animation in the game, you'd have to plunk about 4 guys in a row prior to Piazza, lol

Re: Turn Back the Clock: 2000 Season Replay-A Subway Series

Ha...I've spoken to Mike Piazza(the digital Mike Piazza)...and instructed him to run at Clemens Wolverine Style and stab him right in the eye with the broken handle of the bat.

2000 Tampa Bay Rays are now completed also in this set.
Slow, but steady.
