I'm sad the discussion of this died away. Maybe I'm the only loser who has time to play video games. In my defense, my wife is out of town, so what else am I gonna do?
Anyway, I started a new Dynasty with the Cards after I made all the fixes I saw necessary- Womack, trading Kerry Robinson, releasing Vaughn, sending Bo Hart down to AAA, creating Ray Lankford, Hector Luna & Cody McKay. I modeled Lankford after Reggie Sanders' numbers, switched for lefties of course, Luna roughly after Marlon Anderson and McKay is a lesser version of Matheny. Playing on All-Star I'm 2-0 after the first two v. Milwaukee. I was hoping to catch up to the real season and play the third game, but it took me so long to fix the damn rosters it was too late.
Oh, I also switched Jason Marquis and Danny Haren. Marquis just doesn't look ready to me, hehe. My rotation is:
Morris
Williams
Suppan
Haren
Carpenter
Bullpen:
Simontacchi
Eldred
Lincoln
Tavarez
King
Kline
Isringhausen
My lineup is:
Womack 2b
Lankford LF
Pujols 1b
Edmonds CF
Rolen 3b
Renteria SS
Sanders RF
Matheny C
I may use Cedeno or Taguchi v. lefties, but I hate platooning guys Also have McKay, Anderson, and Luna on the bench.
First game, Morris got hit a little and I was down 2-1 in the 9th. Reggie Sanders hit a walk-off 3 run HR for the win. Morris, Eldred, and Tavarez (w) pitched.
Second game, Williams got hit a LOT, but Renteria made 3 incredible diving plays (there were far more missed on both sides, so I thought it was pretty realistic) and I turned 3 double plays (Womack is great at avoiding the runner, though I still haven't seen any jumping up over, he just side steps) Anyway, the Brewers out hit me 8 to 4, but I won the game 1-0. Williams (w) went 6 innings and Ray King & Tavarez finished, King getting the save.
I've had this game for about 2 weeks now and I must say, I'm EXTREMELY pleased with it- the realism is quite high, IMO. Now, this is the first baseball sim I've really played since Triple Play on SEGA, hehe. Still, if I could get all the mods and updates to work properly, stuff that would only increase the realism level for me, I'd start my Dynasty over any time.
