Green players?

Hank Greenberg · 05-05-2004, 08:13 PM

Im looking at my Roster screen, and my ace is green..... I dont remember seeing this before, and I dont see it on any other players.... on any team... why is he green?

Martian players in the majors. It's the next frontier for MLB.

you'd think he'd have a better fastball....

They're not used to the Earth's higher gravity. The learning curve's a little steeper for them.

Then you'd think his sinker would have more sink, with the new gravity bounus.

Green is a perfectly fine color for an ace. It's when they're yellow, or rather, have a yellow streak that you have to start worrying. Just ask Jeff Weaver.

Hey, those Extra Terrestrials are damn good ballplayers. Look at Benito Santiago. With a friggin' head like that, you know he's not from this planet.

To answer your question if you are looking at Stratagies and the players are green that means there is a special stratagy set for that player, IE 90 pitches, or you've changed the hook slower or quicker.

But you say you are looking at the roster screen?

Benito Santiago as an alien? I was thinking Willie McGee myself.

Yup, roster screen. And since I havnt touched strategies (as I play out all the games) that wouldnt effect it either.

Do you all want to talk about aliens, or watch ol' Big Mac hit a few dingers?

Did you start a game or at least get to the lineup screen? There is a slight bug, I think where if you start a game and then stop for whatever reason

- the players stay green as if they were in the game.

back up we go

That's my guess as to what's happening here.

I've also had my first green player, but it was a rookie catcher. I just took it to mean he was really chomping at the bit to get into the starting lineup!

Hank Greenberg · 05-09-2004, 11:20 AM

That wasn't it. I dont think I cancelled the game at any point, but even if I did (doubt it) I have since played through it and he remained green.
