Adopt a prospect Fall thread
Adopt a prospect Fall thread
As per my adopt a prospect Winter thread, I plan to create a quickstart 2016 league starting with the 2016 season using OOTP17 and I will create 5-8 prospects based on response to the thread. I will use a slightly modified template that I used in the past. I will run sims at night probably 5-6pm CST give or take an hour or so. Here is what you need to tell me if you want to be a prospect Name: Nickname: Not necessary, but if you want one High School or College, and birthday (don't need year, just month and date) Note - college players will have higher current ratings (50%), but have less potential (-10%) Hometown (needs to be a real place): Uniform Number: Personality Attributes, pick 1-200 in each of the following, totals equal up to 1250 combined: Leadership: Desire for Winner: Loyalty: Greed: Work Ethic: Intelligence: Adaptability: Controversy: Handle Success: Handle Failure: Handle Critics: Height: Weight: Bats :R/L/S Throws: R/L Position/Role (if you pick a position player, select a primary, and then a secondary position): Position Player Options: Bat Rating Allocations (High School players first, college players second) Position (Catcher, Corner Infielder/Corner Outfielder, Middle Infielder/Center Fielder) Ratings are Current/Potential Any Position - HS (225/775) College (338/698) Example would be as follows: College CIF 1B/3B 338/698 BABIP: 110/150 Avoid K's: 48/98 Gap: 60/150 Power: 60/150 Eye/Patience: 60/150 Total = 338/698 Speed and Defense: You can select one of the following five: Exceptional Defensively, but slow Good defensively, but slower Good mix of speed and defense Good speed, but average defensively Exceptional speed, but below avg defensively If you select a Starting pitcher: You get 3-4 pitches, pick those 3-4 pitches, one of them MUST be a fastball/sinker/cutter or knuckleball. You can choose 3 instead of 4, just utilize the points how you want. Closers get 2 pitches and will automatically max those two pitches at 200 potential, but agian, one MUST be fastball/sinker/cutter. No knuckler closers, sorry. Say those 2-4 pitches, your choices are: fastball sinker cutter curveball slider changeup splitter forkball circle change screwball knucklecurve knuckleball Same deal here for ratings, but increased as well so we have more dominant pitching than past threads. Going for a more lengendary class, once in a lifetime prospects. Stamina and Hold will come out of the potential total, not the current total. Ratings are Current/Potential SP - HS (350/950) College (525/875) CL - College (525/775) Note: No HS age closers, sorry. So an example would be: High School SP Fastball: 60/150 Curveball: 60/150 Changeup: 25/75 Slider: 60/100 Movement: 90/150 Control: 55/125 Stamina: 150 Hold Runners: 50 Total 350/925 I will let the CPU generate speeds, Closers and HS pitchers will be higher than college...calling it more mileage and polish make you throw slightly slower, but I will make sure everyone that is not a knuckler is throwing at least 91-94mph I will give you an update at end of each SIM month, and posters will get to decide where they go as free agents, and when they retire. For those that want to retire, you have to tell me when you want to retire, but if a player doesn't get any offers for 12 months, he will be forced to retire. Here is the format I want you to post in your reply to this thread Name: Kyle Marks Nickname: "Markie" High School or College: 10/15 - HS Hometown (needs to be a real place): Lemont, IL Uniform Number: 98 Leadership: 175 Desire for Winner: 50 Loyalty: 50 Greed: 1 Work Ethic: 200 Intelligence: 200 Adaptability: 200 Controversy: 49 Handle Success: 150 Handle Failure: 100 Handle Critics: 75 Height: 6’2 Weight: 175 Bats : R Throws: R Position: SP Current/potential Fastball: 60/150 Cutter: 60/110 Slider: 60/110 Circle Changeup: 25/100 Movement: 90/175 Control: 55/130 Stamina: 150 Hold Runners: 25 Total 350/950 Speed and Defense: Exceptional Defensively, but slow If you enter a player, I need you to consistently check into this thread (subscribe please!) and be able to update decisions for your player within 24 of the post, otherwise I make the decision, and that loses all the joy in doing this. So only enter a player if you intend on following up on this. I will keep this post updated as people sign up (I won't count my own player as part of the group). 1. GoPedro99 2. STLRS95 3. nuka 4.

I would like to do this. I am setting up a HS position player. When allocating the current/potential ratings, what is the max value for potential?

250 for any given attribute, but 200 is 80/80 rating...250 is pretty much legendary in a given attribute, but it pretty much kills your other ones since you have to spend so much to get it.

I'll leave the thread open till 10/6, then on 10/7 I will sim to the draft pool and create everybody who signed up. After that, I'll sim the draft, post the results, and player pages. If it is running smooth and I have time, I will sim to the end of 2016 and post each month as it goes.

More dominant pitching? The ghost of Mack Dewey and Jay Van Allen be upon you.
