February 25, 200521 yr 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.
February 25, 200521 yr does anyone know where i can find the marlins minor league rosters so i can do the correct rosters and whatnot...thanks everyone...
February 26, 200521 yr wow is it me or is hitting homeruns difficult? ive only hit one and it was with juan encarnacion at PPS.
February 26, 200521 yr Author 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.
February 26, 200521 yr wow is it me or is hitting homeruns difficult? ive only hit one and it was with juan encarnacion at PPS. 695421[/snapback] Me too, but i just hit one with Delgado.
February 26, 200521 yr 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
February 26, 200521 yr I just hit a pinch hit walk-off home run with Josh Willingham in the 13th inning vs. the Cubs. :mischief
February 26, 200521 yr 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

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....
February 26, 200521 yr wow is it me or is hitting homeruns difficult? ive only hit one and it was with juan encarnacion at PPS. 695421[/snapback] In 6+ games, I've hit 4 HRs with Cabs. 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.
February 26, 200521 yr 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. 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.
February 26, 200521 yr now i hit one with alex gonzalez....whats up with this im hitting HR's with the bottom of the lineup...LOL
February 26, 200521 yr awsome! it looks so real. soon as i get my paycheck im going to go buy that game. yay!
February 26, 200521 yr I just hit a pinch hit walk-off home run with Josh Willingham in the 13th inning vs. the Cubs. :mischief 695460[/snapback] mua ha ha ha ha :mischief

February 26, 200521 yr Just played my first game and wow it is so much smoother its amazing...second pitch Delgado saw as a Marlin was a homer :thumbup won 2-0 with Josh going 7 and six fingers and mota finishing it off
February 26, 200521 yr i did a fantasy draft, went 114-42 lineup: Lofton Lew ford pujols tejada wily mo mike lamb mirabelli cairo rotation: Harden Wade Miller Victor Zambrano Edwin jackson (cy young) Scott kazmir my pitching was sick i don't know how though
February 26, 200521 yr Music sucks and those green and red pitches suck even more but otherwise its a better game. Hudson is tough on Allstar.
February 26, 200521 yr 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.

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.
February 26, 200521 yr 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.
February 26, 200521 yr wow is it me or is hitting homeruns difficult? ive only hit one and it was with juan encarnacion at PPS. 695421[/snapback] Not that difficult. In 15 games I have 6 HR's with Deglado, 6 with Cabrera and 6 with my user created player
February 27, 200521 yr Author now i hit one with alex gonzalez....whats up with this im hitting HR's with the bottom of the lineup...LOL 695655[/snapback] Turn the difficulty up .
