Marlins2k3Champs Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 How does that position ranking thing work? What is it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickGold Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 My only problem is that Castillo seperated his shoulder and is out till June.694237[/snapback] Ouch, that sucks. I've had a bunch of guys get injured against me, but none of mine yet. 694248[/snapback] You jinxed it you're screwed now 694416[/snapback] I just lost Mike Lowell for 70 days. :plain 694730[/snapback] I lost Luis for the season with a torn ACL. After that happened, I just went in and edited the "Player Durability" category for all the top guys. 694995[/snapback] Thus far, injuries seem to happen way too easily. If I were you all, I'd turn down the frequency of injuries in the gameplay tuning window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accord Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 Guys, it's not hard to get out of debt. In your first year, you need to spend all your money stores and whatnot and you will be $5 million in debt, but if you make it to the World Series you'll earn more than $15 million in revenue.

MarlinFan10 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I just started owner mode with the cheap Devil Rays. (only $55 million in salaries) I'm 3-1 but I lost Kazmir for 37 days. :confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer_fran Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I just hit a pinch hit walk-off home run with Josh Willingham in the 13th inning vs. the Cubs. :mischief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinFan10 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 No!!!!!!!!!!! I totally suck at this game. But I was actually winning 2-1 off a Cabs 2 run shot, when my Gamecube crapped out. Boooo!!!! 694971[/snapback] Flaw in the design. There's more and more disk read errors over time resulting in the death of the Gamecube. It's happened to about 40% of Gamecubes that were purchased at launch. Pretty cheap. :thumbdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cheap. :thumbdown 695469[/snapback] Yeah, one of my friends told me about that. It used to kill me when I would play Madden, but either I figured out ways to make it happen less often, or the problem got better on its own. It rarely happens nowadays. but it's always a worry in the back of your mind. It's pretty gay. I'm a Nintendo loyalist, but its enough to make you go hmmm....

Cabs is the s***. I have one with Castillo, one with Delgado, and that's it. I just look for those high fastballs. I can't run the bases for s***, though. I lose about 2 runs a game getting into pickles and what-not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your first year, you need to spend all your money stores and whatnot and you will be $5 million in debt, but if you make it to the World Series you'll earn more than $15 million in revenue. 695426[/snapback] That's a good strategy, I spent a few hours running different scenarios for Middle market teams and found out which ones didnt leave you in lots of debt. The one that worked best was to spend 1 mil of the starting 2 mil on the first tier of ads in "Stadium Upgrades". Once I got midway through the season I was able to buy the first extra seating upgrade for 4 mil. Of course, that success was based upon winning games and keeping the fans in the stadium.

Flamarlins3 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 The music for this game is awful though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMountainMarlin Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Music sucks and those green and red pitches suck even more but otherwise its a better game. Hudson is tough on Allstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabdul Doobakus Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hey, if it weren't for those green and red pitches I'd be 0 for the century. It's really hard to tell how fast the ball is coming at you without that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold out a Sunday game against the Nationals by giving away bats. Also, paring some of the larger salaries helps a lot. I traded Mike Cameron for Willy Mo Pena, then traded Floyd for Ryan Howard, started Victor Diaz in left and got an extra 3 Million on the season. But I'd say start off by buying ads and a Dugout Dogs franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mets_bs Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Music sucks 695791[/snapback] Completely agree, I usually put on the headphones while I'm playing and turn on the I-Pod or put in a CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
