Looking at starting a new dynasty..just need some thoughts

[fadz23q]

well iv been playing a simulated dynasty with the Yankees for the past 55 seasons...haha yeh its heaps, thanks to the simulations option.

so anyways now i want to start a new Dynasty this time where im actually playing,i dont know wether to start playing as a rookie or a pro though,when i play with rookie...i rip apart Most teams, when i play as a pro...i end up getting ripped apart...

so just want your thoughts, should i stick to pro to make the game more interesting, or Rookie until i literally get the hang of things then change over to Pro.

btw does anyone know where to get that Slide in Mod, when players are running to Bases? i believe i saw something about it...also i want to change the refs uniforms...cant find the proper patch though..as some do make your game crash...is there any other Mods out there worth having,iv updated all stadiums, Most uniforms for 2007 season,if theres any other Patches that would make the game more interesting that would be great any help or thoughts would be appreciated thanks.

I think Pro is pretty forgiving - it all depends on your taste as a gamer. Do you want a realistic style of play (pitching duels, 1 run ballgames) or do you want an arcade style - lots of homeruns, minimal pitching? There's no one correct answer. You decide what you want.

For me, I like realistic pitch counts, a lot of foul balls, minimal home runs if possible. I use Kumala's 07 datafile.

Also, try tweaking your in-game sliders a bit.
