So I have something of an idea what these mean/do... I'm just wondering how much better they are than the usual blue abilities? For example, I just created a player that somehow ended up with gold walk-off. I know it typically boosts contact or power by 15. I'm just wondering how much more the gold ability adds?

I believe he's referring to something like this:

Notice the ability in gold. This specific one is a step above the regular "strikeout pitcher" ability, and it actually translates directly to "Doctor K." I don't know just how big an advantage it gives compared to the normal blue ability, though.

Exactly.

As you can see, I have the same here. Maybe at some point, we can get this figured out.

Seems like just a higher level blue ability. Something like Great Catcher or Bunt Master would probably be gold with Good Catcher and Good Bunt being normal blue.

I can't translate the whole thing, but the gold one here looks like a variant of Walk-Off Hitter (the four katakana in the middle say "sayonara." Walk-offs in Japan are "Sayonara Home Runs")

Legendary is the first two, if google translator is to be believed... Which is only about 50% of the time :P

But yeah, maybe it'll come up at some point in a game and I'll find out then.
