Anyone had a player like this?

caseyd · 06-26-2003, 07:10 PM

I have this Right Fielder named Dion Nolla who is a 10 in hitting and a 14 in homeruns right now. He's 32 and I have him locked up for another 4 years. His bio says that whole bit about this type of player coming around once or twice a generation and the Hall of Fame being a given. Anyone ever have anyone with a 10 and 14 like that?

JWay · 06-26-2003, 07:10 PM

only when cheating lol

caseyd · 06-26-2003, 07:13 PM

Meaning what? Is there some kind of special code that I'm missing? I am playing on easy, but I've never seen a guy have a 10 in hitting, much less with a 14 in homeruns. I just thought it was cool. I appreciate your feedback.

Falcon52 · 06-26-2003, 07:16 PM

I think he meant that he'd only seen a player with those ratings when it's been edited.

Highest I've seen is a 9 in hitting and 13 in HR (same player. ive seen higher in hr for other players).

Flapjack · 06-26-2003, 07:18 PM

I certainly have never seen a player that good. What are his stats?

caseyd · 06-26-2003, 07:22 PM

Oh ok. Sorry if I took it the wrong way. I do tend to trade 2-4 star veterans for prospects a lot. I just have a lot of fun seeing how players turn out. It's probably cheating to most (I have trading on normal), but I'm just in it for fun.

I'm at the beginning of the year, so not much in the way of stats. A couple of seasons ago, before his ratings were even this good, he hit 46 homers, had 157 RBIs, and hit .328. He's won 3 out of the last 4 MVPs.

I have seen a few players like that through out the ootp series.

Wilt · 06-26-2003, 07:44 PM

I have seen players like that when I first create new leagues. There will be guys with a 9 or 10 in getting hits and 14 or 15 in getting home runs. However, once they retire, I never see their type again. It seems much more likely to have them upon the league's creation rather than see anyone develop into those kinds of ratings.

akw4572 · 06-26-2003, 07:45 PM

here is the legendary sheldon dowdell from my fictional league. First pick overall in the initial draft, and you can see why. Unbelieveable. Too bad he doesn't play for me.

akw4572 · 06-26-2003, 07:48 PM

how do you guys get players html reports to post on here??

cameronbelldina · 06-26-2003, 08:56 PM

i am in the 14th season and i have a LF who is 12 in hitting and 10 in hr and hits for about .380 each year and is only 30 but has 2500 hits and i have a young firstbasemen (26) who has 11 in hitting and a 14 in HR and has 200 HR already and hits for 340 each year....

WOW....I have a player just like that too. Those are once in a life tiem kinda player.

cameronbelldina · 06-26-2003, 09:03 PM

hahaha...yeah....

BaseballGuy21 · 06-27-2003, 12:52 AM

I thought hitting only goes up to 10?

William4192 · 06-27-2003, 11:25 AM

No it can go beyond. Import a guy like Lou Gehrig into your league from 1927 and he is awesome.

Shorty · 06-27-2003, 11:53 AM

no... i just checked.. i edited a guy, and changed his batting average to ".999" and it still displayed a 10 for contact.

akw4572 · 06-27-2003, 12:31 PM

well......i don't know what you did, but i have seen all ratings in batters be above a 10. Try importing the lou gehrig from 1927.

William4192 · 06-27-2003, 12:38 PM

batting average does not go above ten, if you do homers (for ex) it will

William4192 · 06-27-2003, 12:39 PM

Hey Akw4572, I used to live in Florence KY and actually have a great deal of family from there

(to prove it, I know the florence mall on mall road with the big Kmart at the end).

Very cool we both play ootp 5 from such a small city

akw4572 · 06-27-2003, 12:42 PM

yeah, i created a fictional league and have the newly created frontier league florence freedom as my franchise. Did you go to boone? I am the baseball coach at conner.
