Power Pros Forum

I think this log officially has the most pages!

Man, sad to see such a great log go! It will be remembered though!

So, will you be starting a new one?

I hate to see this log end. I like the last update though!

Awwwwwww. Sad ending. It was great while it lasted.

Well, drat. Hate it when stuff like that happens. Sad to see this go; it was a pretty great log you had going.

Awesome log with an interesting team. Sad to see it's over.

Thanks, folks. It was definitely fun sharing and being a little creative (though when I see some of the storylines that others put into their logs, I realize how uncreative I really am!)



I will, and I'd expect to start up again before the end of the summer. PowerPros is jow I unwind from my day.

At this point, I am done grieving the loss of my team, which had gone longer (in game years) than any other team of mine. What I really miss now is the PowerPros points I accumulated. I want to play in one of the PowerPros parks, and I'd like to make the purchase that allows me to start each season with extra owner points. I was doing homerun practice to build up some quick points, bought the cheaper suburban park, saw how small it is, and see I need to build up for the more expensive suburban park. (FWIW, I find I'm able to maximize my points on the home run derby by playing Eric Hinski (high EE offense) at the small suburban park)

The homerun derby definitely generates more points per minute than playing exhibition games, but I might also see what points I can generate from playing 3 inning exhibitions against another player with all the settings put on automatic.

Regardless, I already have some thoughts about my next season mode:

1. Since what I enjoy most, in terms of writing, is analyzing the draft and trades, I'll do more of that, and game reporting will be more like monthly general recaps on the team in general
2. Since what I enjoy more than making trades is seeing my young players develop, I'll add restrictions on how long I can train up existing players v. Graybar players, but still impose some sort of time limit on training graybar players to give new draft picks a chance to win starting jobs later
3. If I really stick to #2, I think that'll stop me from becoming a "powerhouse" with easy wins.
4. I'm not sure whether I'll do an existing team or an expansion team (maybe it'll depend on how long it takes me to get the points to buy a stadium), but if I do an expansion team, I think I'll edit some of the starting free agents (like Great White, Mario Alvarez, Bazardo) or borrow some password players to give myself an OF that averages Ds across the board, a decent starting pitcher and a couple of decent relievers. Maybe a 3b or SS with a C arm. If I play an existing team, I'm thinking of the Giants as a team with OK older players (like Durham) and younger players (like Brian Wilson), but I'd have to practice bunting.

PS - other than our exchanges on this board, the most fun about playing PowerPros other than actually playing the games is to hear my son insist that I wasted my time by not becoming a Major League Baseball player since I do so well in these games! I think I finally got him to see the light after years of these comments by taking him bowling after playing Wii bowling together.

Wow, good thing you traded Ryan Spilborghs before this happened. A note to Erisa Dude: Next time, have a happier ending for your log.
Edit: Erisa, I have a 3rd Baseman with C Arm Strength you could use in your next log. If you want him, I'll PM you the Password. This log was absolutely legendary.

That sucks, sorry to hear that happened. I'll definitely be following when you start your new log.

Love that Airplane! reference.

Sad to see this one end, but excited to see a new one begin.

What D-Tigers said.

I love what you're thinking of doing for your next log.
