6'2".....2,005 pounds?

md5423 · 04-24-2013, 06:47 AM

Playing through the first season of my MLB Astros game and when i went to look at the draft pool i noticed Philip Walby... a 6'2" pitcher who weighs 2,005 lbs.... Yes, you read that correctly.

Anyone else seen something like this? And no I did not edit him.

EDIT: now that I look into it more, Walby is a real player so whoever created him must have just input the weight incorrectly

Well, it's about time someone had the guts to mention the 2,000 pound pitcher in the room.

byzeil · 04-24-2013, 11:15 AM

yup he was brought up in this thread

I like his personality blurb, "doesn't stand out".

His center of gravity is probably really low.

If he has a head of steam and is sliding into home plate, just get out of the way.

He's fixed in the latest update. Lot's of other good roster stuff included in it too.

Someone needs to check the global settings and see what the "gravitational acceleration" is set to. Remember it should be 32.2, not 322.0.

That would be more than the Sun's gravity. That would explain why there are no rain outs in OOTP.

Another typo. That should have been doesn't stand up.

He should get hit by an inordinate number of pitches

I thought this was a thread about Bartolo Colon.

Finally a pitcher that hits a ton!

HA!

Tap, tap, tap... is this microphone working?

Sorry, I'll go away now...
