    You still get training points when you sim, but not 100% of them.

    I hit my 100th career HR and got 500 points.

    My numbers are insane.

    99/95 power R/L
    89/75 contact R/L
    86 speed
    82 vision
    82 clutch

    Scary when a power hitting 1B can steal at a high success rate. Started out at a 30 speed.

    I am 100 on contact and power against right and left hand pitchers.

    Vision, clutch, and discipline are all in the 80's.

    I am pretty damn slow though. Only in the 50's with speed.

  • FYI Operation Sports released their Opening Day edition of their Full Minor League rosters last night. This should have all the lineups set post spring training, although as you go through your own spring training the CPU might adjust it again. There will be two more updates, one with pitch edits, and one with player edits using their own formula that seems to work better, but no ETA on those yet as those take a while longer.

    1/2 way through my second year, off of the top of my head (at work)

    69/60 Contact R/L
    50/49 Power R/L
    61 Speed
    50 Vision
    50 Clutch

    AVG. .318 30 RBI 2 HRs. 17 Ks as a AAA Bench player. Want to work my Contact and Vision up to 80+ then max out my speed. Want to turn doubles into triples and get an inside the park homerun.

    Have 8 SBs on the year, got caught 3 times. They took away my green light after I got caught two times in a row lol

    If you boost your speed the game will make it harder for you to hit for power. It does not let you become a juggernaut. You may have 100 power, but you wont swing like it. I did it many years in a row and once my speed got above 90 my power numbers dropped significantly. Just how the game works.

    Same here. I'm about to start my 3rd year as the A's starting SS. I've been traded twice already..

    I have last year but i never played anything outside of the be a pro or whatever...

    Me neither.. The only time I go into 'Dynasty Mode' is to trade all the big leaguers for high-ceiling prospects and then simulating two or three seasons until they are ready to be called up to see if I built a good team.. Along the way I may play 3 or 4 minor league games with my favorite prospects, but that's about it. Other than that, I'm pitching in 'Be a Pro' mode.

    In this year's they trade you in 'Be a Pro'? Really? That's pretty sweet. Last year's and before that you were just with the same organization forever. Do you finally get to negotiate your contracts or are you still stuck getting vastly underpaid? I just finished my third year as the Cubs' 3rd baseman on last year's game and after hitting .372, 61 HR, 145 RBI, 57-63 in steals, and a Gold Glove, I felt I deserved a raise..

    For xBox or PS3?

    I am looking for a happy medium. I want around 20-30 HRs a year with 45+ SBs. So I might stop at 75 or 80.

    You may want to turn up the difficulty if you are beating like that in your 3rd year.

    And I am almost certain they had trades before.

  • Just got screwed out of two 3Bs this game because of those camera angle changes while I am running the bases. Shit makes me so mad.

  • My power didnt drop with my speed increase. Last season(I'm 24 yrs old at this point..)

    .300
    43 HR
    109 RBI
    21 SB's

    That's with 99/95 power, 89/83 contact, and 91 speed.

    I am on a roll right now. Last 10 games I am batting .521 with two HRs. Mind you, my power, is in the high 40s for L and R.

  • So happy this game resets hitting streaks when you start a new season. Had a 20 game hitting streak at the end of last season, started the next hit, got 5 straight more, 5 game hitting streak bonus. That's sweet.

    That is stupid. I never seem to be able to get anything more than a 15 game streak anyway.

    I was pissed, missed out on like 40 points because of it. And just got to the MLB, Starter in my first season. These pitchers are insane. 24 ABs and 10 K's so far. I have more K's than I do hits lol. That breaking ball low gets me every freaking time.

    Where I am timing pitches perfectly and still can't get hits.

    Annoying as balls.

    I hate the cubs as well. 3.5 games out of 1st and they rest me while playing the team in 1st.

    I'm 2nd in the MVP race. Worst organization ever
