Re: MLB Power Pros 2008 - MLB Life thread

I went through success mode with my pitcher, who is the next Tim Wakefield, except I relieve. I got my Knuckleball maxed out and I have a splitter, which I don't use, a slow curve, like Wakefield and its a 2!, and a Fastball that tops out a about 80 on a good day.

It's been really fun, I dominated spring training and I have started the season. I have 3 or 4 apperances in about 14 games, but I have 1 win and about 7 K's and no runs.

Keep in mind I try to keep it realistic with the knuckle. Wakefield throws majority knuckle unless he falls way behind in the count and he might throw a fastball. I usually throw knuckles until I get 2 strikes, then I throw a knuckle off the plate, if that doesn't work I then come back with the high heat or my slow curve, which works really well too.

All in all I'm having a blast in this mode and I am friends with Matt Holliday, My favorite Oklahoman in the Major Leagues right now.
