cybernetic Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I hate the player happiness thing as guys start complaining when you dont play them enough.. examples: Koskie demands to play more but I play him everyday excluding a day off here or there vs. lefties. Hudson demands to play more but he's playing everyday albeit in the #9 hole but he's struggling so much at the plate that I see no reason to move him up.. he's hitting around .200 for much of the season and I'm in early May now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Yeah but it is good because if they make you mad enough you may have that in mind 2 trade them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuUaAn Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 The problem I have is with Carl Crawford. I play the Jays and acquired him. He's been complaining that I don't give him enough playing time even though he plays everyday and leads off and is the only LF on my team. What's up with that?

cb Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Try putting him in CF, afterall, that is his main posistion isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamasutra Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 An easy solution to happiness that tends to get overlooked is a player's contract. This is the same as last year. The best contract you can give a major league player is a "backup" role. Typically you'd have to pay him about 1/3 of his salary more for him to accept. This will boost his happiness/performance and the chemistry of the team. I try to do this for as many players on my starting roster as possible. If you can get them to sign as AAA everyday, even better. It's all a matter of $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 yeah but if you're using a small market team you dont have a lot of salary room to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camus Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Well according to the rosters I have, he's listed as an LF. He can play CF, but his regular position is definitely LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuUaAn Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 So Crawford is listed as MLB Indispensible. I already play him everyday, no excuses and he bats either leadoff or second. Yet he keeps complaining about playing time. Is there a remedy besides changing is contract to MLB Backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuUaAn Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 pay him more money then sign him as a MLB backup Crap...I have no more room to jack up his salary. I guess I just have to put up with him. This sucks, the game should not have been programmed like this. Indispensible playing everyday should be happy because you can't play the guy anymore than you have already.

KernelPanic Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Thanks for all the tips. The one I really like is when your players come to you and complain about their performance. I kinda shake my head and scream to the monitor..."Well Play Better Then and Stop Acting Like a Baby". Maybe I should quit playing this game if this is how I am forced to act. LOL Actually, I would like to know what is the best control pad to use? I am currently using a "Saitek P880 Dual Analog" and I am missing some of the features such as the pick off throws and a few others. I should also post this in another thread of its own.

cybernetic Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 indispensible means they play everyday regardless of pitcher/tiredness.. put him on everyday contract that means he plays 5-6 games per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
