Not enough HR and Draft

KCRoyalsFan · 03-05-2003, 10:22 PM

Well first of all the past 3-4 seasons in my league only 1 or 2 people have hit over 45 HR, everyone 30-40....one guy hit 34 and was 4th in the league

And in the Draft the first few years there were GREAT prospects, like brilliant hitting, good HR or vice versa. Now the past 6 years or so there have only been about 10 players total with good ratings in hitting, this can't be normal can it?

Has anyone had a 2-3 star prospect prosper into a 4-5 star? I have yet to see this.

For HR you need to adjust league totals.

Yeah..i've noticed it too KC.....I've had to play around with the Totals to get it right.

Downloaded GeForces' rosters (great set by the way).
Corey Patterson hit 74. Bonds hit .400 a year earlier.

Although the next highest on the list was only 45. But that's not shabby. American was similar to the National. Had more guys hit 40 though. Usually low 50's is norm for the high.

I haven't had problems with prospects. I've had bad luck with most of them flaming out. Although I did draft a guy late in the first round that started in AAA and ended the year in the Majors (June draft). I ended up paying out the ying yang for him some years down the line and he blew out his arm like a month later. I came close to jumping off a bridge.

I am using the totalminors list...

Queen what did you set your HR to?

Make sure when you adjust league totals to make the HR number LOWER if you want more of them.

The draft talent will fluctuate from year to year; some will be good, some bad.

If you have really good coaches, you will have your share of mediocre-turned-awesome prospects.

anyone have a good number?

Queensryche · 03-06-2003, 12:41 AM

I've been using 4950 for Homeruns. Had a guy in the AL hit 65hr's....the NL Leader hit around 54.

So far so good for me.

Dunno... that's just the way the game works I guess.
