RmembrZito75 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 [align=left]Hello. It's me again. This is one of my dynasties that will not fail. The others have failed because of technical difficulties such as crashes. This dynasty will be one to remember for a long time and I will let the fans make some of the decisions. First, I have to tell you why I chose the Cubs and a little background information.[/align] [align=left]First of all, I would like to say that choosing the "Cubbies" was a hard decision for me. I wanted a team that I really liked and it was down to the A's, Devil Rays, and the Cubs. I don't really like playing in the AL and I wanted to play in a division that has teams that are good. The Cubbies have been one of my favorite teams and still are one of my favorite teams. That is why I chose the Cubbies over my other choices.[/align] [align=left]Second, this dynasty will have many things that will be eye-catching to viewers. It will feature assortments such as a Baseball Tonight Highlight Board, Live In-Game Updates, Player and Coaches Interviews, Sports Now the Magazine, and articles from ESPN. (all credit given to JR, ESPN, Red Sox, and Twenty Seven)[/align] [align=left]The last thing I have to say is: Enjoy the Dynasty![/align] [align=left]Here are some of my settings and mods:[/align] Difficulty: All-Star Rosters: Ultimate Rosters Version 8.4 by Totte Sliders: JoeRudi's and a mix of mine Datafile: Trues Uniforms: KCCityStar, The Spungo, and Umachines Depth Chart Coming Soon...

TwentySeven Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Man, Zito, you have so much potential but you always make these crazy trades at the beginning and it just makes it hard to watch your dynasties because you have these crazy trades. There is no fair trade that would net you one of the top 3 pitching prospects in baseball and a future hall-of-famer with a good bat left in the tank. I don't even know what you traded but I don't doubt that it was unreasonable. EDIT: I was right, it was an unreasonable trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwentySeven Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 No I'm just saying you always start your dynasties off with unreasonable trades, and you can always start dynasties off with trades, but at least make em reasonable. It's really your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I wish you well, but I don't see the point in starting a dynasty in which none of the work you do is your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really your decision. I think I might just trade back Griffey to the Reds 'cause they need him and I think that my Outfield is already full. Thanks for the input and I hope you watch the rest of the dynasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am using some of my stuff, but I'm using other people's templates because I'm not that good in photoshop. I am trying to learn, but I have tried and I can't do anything like Red Sox and JR. Thanks (on wishing me well). I hope you watch the rest of the dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RmembrZito75 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 what was the trade that netted your Griffey and Homer? I traded Jaque Jones, Sean Marshall, and a Minor Leaguer (forget who) for Griffey Jr. and Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hey bud, I will check in on this now and then, but don't get discouraged if a whole lot of people are not following it. Just keep it running and people will eventually start following, so don't worry about it. One thing I would suggest is that you implement some unique ideas to go along with the reports that you are planning on presenting. I don't think people check out dynasties just to see how well you are in Photoshop (well, some of them might) but the majority of them check in on a dynasty because it provides something that is unique. See I liked how you introduced some steroids issue in your last dynasty and that was something people followed and commented on. I think you should expand on the different things you present. A great starting point would be to just see how baseball highlights/games are being presented on TV and add in your own touches. Remember that playing 162 games and posting on each game is not only tiresome but could get a little stale if you don't add in variety. And lastly it is very important to stick with a dynasty. Of course you cannot avoid crashes during the game but make it an effort to make sure that you stick with what you have started. That way when people really get into your dynasty, they don't get really disappointed when it abruptly ends. Anyway, it was just some friendly advice. Hope you took no offense to anything that I just said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronx_Bum Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 First off, good luck and hopefully you'll stick with this. Second, I was hoping to find something new and different when I stopped in, but I have to agree with fred, and to me, it gets old looking at the same stuff time and again. Lastly, I have to agree with twentyseven as that trade was completely unrealistic; but again, this is your dynasty and everyone does them different. Again, best of luck to ya!

Don't worry about the trade. I traded Griffey and Bailey back to the Reds. Also, I traded Barrett to the Pads for Bowen, as the Cubs did it in real life (without the OF).
