Post subject:  Hall of Famers
I wanted to start this thread for people to talk about the Hall of Famers they've made or are planning to make. I know for myself, I'd just assume not overlap and do the same one someone else has done. I've spent a couple of hours on Cy Young, but I'm probably going to scrap him since someone else completed him already.

On the "planning to do" list, if you want one of those guys grab him and I'll just take him off my list. I've got plenty and can come up with plenty more :)

Have done:
Ozzie Smith
Nolan Ryan
Babe Ruth
Cy Young
Shoeless Joe Jackson
Bruce Sutter
Willie Mays
Jackie Robinson
Stan Musial
Wade Boggs
Johnny Bench

Actively working on:
(none)

Planning to do if someone else doesn't do them first:
Lou Brock (LF)
Bob Gibson (SP)
Sandy Koufax (SP)
Ty Cobb (CF)
Ted Williams (LF)
Rogers Hornsby (2B)
Jimmy Foxx (1B)

Let's be mindful that until we crack passwords, Wii and PS2 passwords are still incompatible.

You say that as if somebody is seriously working towards cracking them.... not that it wouldn't be great. A conversion program that changes a Wii password to a PS2 one and vice versa would be amazing but I don't see this happening in the near future. (if ever)

Why would they change the password formula though between the systems.... that's so damn annoying.

I was actually working on it... until the wii broke.

I was going to attempt to pass through a loser (basic B/C stats in everything) and see if I adjusted the saved name by 1 letter, if too much changed.

The other thing to do, is using the exploit, save the character, DON'T save the profile, save the points (just because), and view the password, and delete. Then go back, change one thing, and do it again...

The key issue is that saved names probably can't be identical, which requires deletion after each test.

I'm thinking of working on Nelly Fox ( old White Sox hall of fame 2nd Baseman with the 3rd best hit to strike out ratio in MLB history. Only 216 strike outs in over 9200 at bats) He won a bunch of gold gloves and was an all star quite a bit too. He had absolutely no power though. Not going to increase that at all.

"Nellie was the toughest out for me. In 12 years I struck him out once, and I think the umpire blew the call. - New York Yankees Hall of Fame pitcher Whitey Ford"

Was planning on making him a pure contact hitter with great fielding and above average speed.

Next was Carlton Fisk. I need to make a cather and well even though he went into the hall as a red sox, he played on the white sox for some time too.

I think the password thing may be a little harder than I originally thought. If you go into the password screen on a character, write it down, exit out of the viewer and then go back in and look at the same characters' password, there are changes to it but the password is largely the same. Almost like a randomizer effect.

Yeah, I noticed that after I made my first player and was confused by it. I'm not sure why it would randomize.

I'd assume is a hashing formula based on time... go look it up on wikipedia if you really wanna know.

If that is the case, the only way to break it is to break the programming code... not gonna happen until the wii hacker people can figure it out.

awww. That stinks. I was looking forward to getting Odawali's dudes onto my system. They're just ... there.

But I think the time formula might work to our advantage. That means multiple combinations will all produce the same result, thereby eliminating tens, maybe hundreds or thousands of possibilities. Maybe someone can study the changes and work something out.

No idea on the password compatibility issue. I'd assume they're using completely different algorithms between platforms.

I updated my first post, I went ahead and finished Cy Young anyway and then did Shoeless Joe Jackson today (even if he technically isn't a HoF'er)

I know a thing or two about how passwords worked for previous games in the series but this is the first time I heard of the randomizer effect.

Anyway since password cracking is sort of off-topic to this thread about HOFers I'll post what I know someplace else.

Post subject:  mike schmidt and other h.o.f. phillies
i made a mike schmidt with A power (192), D contact, 3 trj, F running speed, A fielding, A arm strength, and A error resistance. his blue abilities are power hitter, 4 throwing, pivot man, gold glover, barehand catch, and firstball hitter. i usually don't do the gambling ring / save-reload in success mode (too time consuming for me), but schmidt is my all-time favorite player, and i wanted to accurately represent his playing abilities, so i made sure to gamble his abilities up to where i wanted them. i also had to resist the temptation to just gamble him up to As in every category, but schmidt had bad knees and often struggled with strikeouts, so i wanted to back off on the contact and running speed.

his fielding is amazing (nothing gets past him at third and his throws to first are like laser beams), and he's homering consistently.

i gave him shaggy 70's hair and a sweet moustache on the appearance customization screen: he looks awesome! best of all, his first-year salary is less than 1000 pts (although i added him during the "begin new season" menu, so if you add him to an existing season as a free agent the salary might be higher).

when i get a digital camera i'll post the password (it's for ps2).

i've also made a richie ashburn (singles hitter / base stealer extraordinaire), a steve carlton (brutal slider and 4-seamer), a robin roberts, a jim bunning, a grover cleveland alexander, and a chuck klein (massive power to all fields), but none of them are as accurate as my mike schmidt. again, i'll share passwords if / when i get a digital cam. i haven't made any non-phillies players; my loyalty to my team is strong, to say the least.

I'm not a Phillies fan, but I did root for them in the 1980 WS (the 1979 season was the first I really paid a lot of attention to baseball) - Tug McGraw was an early favorite of mine :)
