Power Pros Forum

I'm in June of Year 1 already. I've improved my first ability (Power went up by 1 point finally).

This mode is pretty fun, a great alternative to playing a whole season. I'll post some of my other 'findings' in a new post.

I started in the minors, but I got to play the first few games of spring training. They told me flat out that they already had a starting 2b, so I wasn't going to start, but to keep trying. They pretty much tell you when you are 'on fire', etc. Oh - and for those looking to break the stolen base record - unfortunately you don't control your player after he hits.

The system is fun, and even as a 2b, I've made the Indians as a DH, and I've been killer. I was up around a .700 batting average for a while, now I'm down to around .560. I'm only using my player from success mode - he isn't amazing, but ok.

Pitching would be really interesting, I haven't tried that yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

The stuff you do outside of games has a direct impact on what stats you increase. I'll post more on that in a separate topic.

Sounds like you may need to adjust the game difficulty with that batting average.

yeah, I just went with standard settings to try it out.

I'm crushing the ball

I've been 'injured' twice now - it's been kinda realistic so far!

At one point in time I drank too much powerin and I got sick. It just makes you lose vitality. Just putting that out there for people that are going to kill the powerins, and the store can run out of them.

I definitly wouldn't want to get sick on Powerin!

Don't go up to expert. It gets so hard it makes you hate the game. (For a pitcher anyway.)

I've had a pitcher and I was on fire until i got to the month of June (third month in majors). In AAA, I would usually get 8-10 strikeouts each game. In MLB, I would usually get 3-5 strikeouts per game. During Spring Training, I struck out Ichiro. TWICE!
