OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Maximizing Chance of Getting a Third Pitch?

Seviien · 05-06-2010, 01:07 PM

Short of cracking open the player editor, I know that there can't simply be a button to add a 3rd pitch to that stud prospect with two good pitches and high stamina... thereby making him a legit starter. But after combing through the forum's search function for an hour, I've yet to find any solid information on how to *maximize* the chances getting that third pitch. I'm not looking for "maximize" to equal 100% probability or anything, but it'd be helpful to know how the game is setup so that I can play it the "right way."

The best info I have found is that work ethic and intelligence might factor into it, and it's more likely to occur in the lower minors than in the majors. I'm guessing age is a factor too, but that's just a guess.

Could someone in the know please confirm/expand on that please? Your wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
