Create A Prospect

[vrobx1]

I haven't seen anyone doing this for OOTP 19 yet and, using the setup created my kmarks, I decided to give this a go. My posting style will be different, though, as you can see from my own created player threads. I will be posting more game-by-game instead of simming through parts of the season.

Using kmarks formula, if you wish to create a player, please fill out the following:

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:


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

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 again, 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.

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

Here is the format I want you to post in your reply to this thread

I need potentials for your batting ratings please.

[msupoke]

I added them.

[vrobx1]

[msupoke]

Wow. Those defensive ratings suck, lol.

[msupoke]

And why is his power potential so high?

[vrobx1]

I think the ratings change again when he is scouted again.

[GoPedro99]

You should turn off scouting for it so we can all see what the players true ratings are. Not really a point in scouting in a situation like this

I copied and pasted and just edited my numbers, so let me know if something doesn't match up, thanks.

Just to make sure it isn’t lost

Good deal. I am eager to see what he does.

I almost named him Diggity James.

I will leave this open through at least Monday, give people a chance who aren't online on the weekends to add a player.

Then we will hold the draft and start playing.

[vrobx1]

Here we go! The 2018 MLB Amateur Draft...

Well I'll be. The Phillies took an Abington native who grew up just half an hour from Citizens Bank Park. Talk about a dream come true.
