Finally! I'm free to post stuff. Just an FYI for anyone out there, Stanton (or CarGo) is gonna win the Home Run Derby

Anyone want to design some MLBPP teams for me following strict conditions?

1. Need a full roster of players to be given at once, including at least 9 fielders and 7 pitchers (5 starters, 1 reliever, 1 closer). Descriptions of these players must be given, including abilities, stats, and some description of appearance, even if it's just something simple like "short brown hair".
2. All the players on the team need to be based off of characters in a single video game (or video game series), include what the game (or series) is in your post.
3. This is the complicated part, once your team is done, it needs to follow some limitations to make sure the team isn't overpowered. The total top speed of all players on the team must be under 2064 (includes fielder top speed, if you don't make a full 25 man roster, I don't see this being a problem at all, even if you do it probably wouldn't be. The combination of stamina and control of all players on the team must be less than 2529. Breaking pitches can all be decided by you without limitation, so can special abilities and trajectory.

The ratings of all fielder stats combined (counting 17 power as 1 point in this case, because it's on a scale 17 times higher than everything else), must be at 1042 or lower. As far as power goes, you can round up when it's all added up. If the stats overall wind up higher than the cap, than you can lower each player's stats by a bit. If it winds up anywhere under the cap, it's probably fine.

I don't really expect anyone to do this, but it would be really helpful to me.

Also, I'd prefer if people didn't pick:
Eternal Ring (above all, nobody do this one, though I'm not too worried about that as it isn't a popular game)
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
Rogue Galaxy
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (the game for PS2)
Paper Mario
Oblivion
Peter Jackson's King Kong (the game for PS2)
Spyro

Now that I typed this up, I feel like it would be better as its own topic rather than another post in here...

Is this to keep you from getting bored of your log too early? But I can't help because I'm going on vacation and because they can't have Spyro names (although you said nothing against the Crash series...)

You can use Spyro I suppose, I just put it to the list because it's among the games I have that I could create a team for.

I considered the Crash series but I wasn't sure I was going to be able to find enough characters.

And I can probably wait a really long time for this, it takes a while to design just one team so I'm going to be needing more teams for a while.

Like I said, I leaving for vacation on Friday so I can't really do much. But I think you'd be better off asking two or three people make each team. Three people making 5-6 people a piece is much easier and faster than one person making 16 by themselves

Then it would be harder for the people to coordinate among each other, for example, all of them finding a game they've all played, and coordinating the stats so the team isn't over the cap.

And it's not making a whole team, really, it's just designing it, I definitely wouldn't expect one person to wind up going through Success mode 20 times to make players for one team. No way I would even have half the success mode slots I need to use all of those.

I'm mostly planned out for my first team, I just have to iron out a few details and edit them into the game.

Though if people want to form groups and coordinate teams, then that's fine too.

I could make a team, but I'd have to figure out what game to use.

OHH! I kinda thought you wanted the team to be Success mode players. I guess I was wrong... :P

When I was coming up with a list of games I could use that I play, it pointed out to me how few of my games have a lot of significant characters (enough to make a team out of). I mean, Luigi's Mansion, Lost Kingdoms, and a ton of other games either have a small amount of characters, characters that wouldn't make sense (NHL, NBA, and other MLB games), and characters that are completely customizable so making a team of them makes no sense (The Sims...).

Ah well, hopefully there will wind up being enough teams in the end.

Yeah, that would definitely take forever to do, and editing players is way more precise as long as you can ignore the annoying purple bar associated with it. You can get exact stats, get abilities not in Success mode, and avoid abilities virtually unavoidable in Success mode.

Are you using these teams for season mode? If so, there's a way to turn the purple bars off
