DREAM DRAFT

How many rounds are in the dream draft?
When you select players, I assume their contract terms stay the same?
Does the CPU do a decent job when you use automatic selections?

STADIUM Q.s

It looks like Rainbow Stadium has a weirdly-deep left-center but is otherwise pretty standard, as opposed to Golden Apple stadium's deep center and short left/right. Agree?
Any general likes/dislikes/comments from those who've played in both?
Also, can you tell me what state/city those stadiums appear to be in? For some reason, it's important that my team's stadium location align with it's division and the team city be near the stadium city.

Oh yeah, when you play as an expansion team, is there some trick to making sure you get the 1st pick in the draft? Like selecting the 1st-listed team when you need to select one?

Thanks

There are something like 33 (?) rounds I'm pretty sure. The contracts do stay the same and the CPU is pretty good at drafting too. For Stadiums, Rainbow Stadium is pretty small, Golden Apples has a huge center, left-center, and right-center while there are two short porches in right field and left field. Golden Apples is in Missouri, I'm pretty sure Rainbow is in Florida. Don't know about the last question, though.

1. 33 rounds

2. Yes, they stay the same.

3. I usually do most of the draft myself when I do a Dream Draft, but I've never noticed that the CPU was particularly awful, so it can't be that bad, I guess.

4. I used to play on Rainbow Beach a lot, until I switched over to GoldenApples Stadium. Now, GoldenApples is definitely my favorite fictional park. Rainbow Beach is too shallow for my tastes, and is definitely more of a hitter's park, where it is easy to homer. GoldenApples, however, is more of a pitcher's park. Left and right field are shallow, but have higher walls. Center is deep, something like 410 feet, if I can remember right. But it's not impossible to hit homers to center. It's also a nice landing spot for doubles and triples.

5. So yeah, I like GoldenApples Stadium the most.

6. Rainbow Beach is in Honolulu, Hawaii. GoldenApples Stadium is in St. Louis, Missouri.

I want to add on to one of your Dream Draft inquiries since you already know all you need to know about the other questions.

The CPU does do an ok job, but sometimes they make questionable decisions (certain relievers tend to get drafted a bit too highly). It's also funny when the CPU drafts guys like Zambrano or Beckett in the first round because they usually do terrible in the season (the curse of the Walk ability). If you plan on playing most of the games then it's fine that the CPU picks a guy like that, but beware.

I'm not sure why not as many people like Panpaka Park. It's the only stadium that, in my opinion, feels like a big league stadium. The super deep left field makes it fun too. I dont get why everyone likes Golden Apples so much.

I agree, that's one HUGE advantage that Panpaka has over the rest.

I forgot about panpaka. Realistic specs, huh? Where is it?

I appreciate all the responses, everyone

Las Vegas. Like it should be

The dimensions are deep, but its appearance is closest to an MLB stadium.

The only one I don't know much about is Suburban Stadium.

Suburban Stadium is the smallest, routine fly balls end up as homeruns and it looks and feels like a high school field.

It's the tulips field from the first game

No it's not, Subutban Ballpark is the Tulips field, not Suburban Stadium
