Shef87 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I started a dynasty with Detroit because I was just tired of picking the Yankees and Cardinals and all the good teams, so I picked Detroit because of my man Pudge.. But I was just wondering something about 2 of the pitchers, do J. Johnson and N. Robertson really only have 3 pitches? I find that kind of hard to believe for guys who have been in the league for a while. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseknucks Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 It's not unlikely. I rarely watch the Tigers because I don't live in Detroit or Michigan, but I know Dontrelle Willis throws three pitches and he's actually quite dominant. I'm not sure it matters how long you're in the league. Good pitchers don't neccessarily have 5 pitches all the time. Nolan had 5 pitches to throw but kept guys off balance with 2 or 3 of them 90% of the game (4-seam, change, 2-seam). Anyways, I think it's quite likely that they only have three pitches. It's benefitial in the game though because the computer continually guesses and often guesses wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash #25 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I watch nearly every game the Tigers play, and am also running a Tiger dynasty. I can't really answer your question, but I'll tell you what I do know. Jason Johnson's pitches tend to do many things. I see what looks like a huge 11-5 curveball that he throws when he wants a wild pitch :roll: and a tighter breaking ball, the slider. The announcers lately have been referring to a knucklecurve, but I can't substantiate that. I've been considering adding more pitches to his repertoire (sp?) just to make it more realistic. My question for you is which rosters are you using? I use Ultimate Rosters 1.0 and it shows both these guys with four pitches. The basic four, 4-seamer, 2-seamer, slider, and changeup. I'll be happy to try and answer any Tiger questions you have, although I didn't do too well on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 you could always check espn's scouting reports. A guy like K-Rod only throws a 4 seam and slider, but because he can vary the movement on his slider, he should also have a slurve. Same goes for Oliver Perez. So it could be that those guys you mentioned essentially have 3 pitches, but perhaps they throw variations of those pitches as well ( change and circle change, curve and knucklecurve, etc. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shef87 Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 I do all the rosters myself. I can't D/L anything unfortunately because my computer is trash. I have a set of rosters saved with most of the trades made in the league. So, they still have 3 pitches each in my game. J. Johnson has a change, 4 seamer and a curve..... and Robertson has a 4 seamer, 2 seamer and a change........or it's the other way around, but anyway that's what they have, no slider for Johnson or anything. And what's your record and difficulty and all that stuff? Any roster moves? I have it on MVP, record at the moment is 19-7, heading into a tough series tonight with Boston. I have the rosters identical to the ones in real life, only I have Carlos Pena playing 1st base instead of Shelton because Pena is better defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
