I'd probably give the same advice for pitching in general. Mix up your pitches, speed, and location at all times, trying to keep the hitter off balance. If I remember right, Z had a great slider and a pretty nasty fastball. Use either of these pitches as 'go to' pitches when you need one, or use them with 2 strikes as the knockout punch. BTW, what are his numbers in your dynasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy6finger Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Since the MVPMods "The Show" Online League folded, I've gotten back to playing my "Top 100 Prospects Dynasty, featuring the St. Louis Cardinals" 2005 Dynasty. As you may or may not know, I use the St. Louis Cardinals as my organization, but I created about 80 or so top prospects from people from this site, and put'em on certain orgainzations' A-ball teams (5 per teams) I had to restart once due to error, but I'm about to hit May 2005. I use "TeamChanger" to change to terms to play as these prospects once a week. Lets say some us of us are doing better than others. As fot the Cardinals, I'm like 18-7 (just swept the Cubbies recently...yay) See here for the dynastymanager that lists all prosecpts. I just need to do a full update sometime once May hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonClark Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Has anyone in here discussed the impact free agency has on dynasties years into the future? I'm wondering if there have been any big free agent signings or maybe some interesting trades made by the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if there have been any big free agent signings or maybe some interesting trades made by the computer. In my dynasty. I have been through one off season and Francoeur rejected the Yankees for the Orioles and the Rangers have stacked their outfield from free agency. The Pirates also picked up some big names. The big free agency signings are on this page of my dynasty. http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic=35047&st=800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonClark Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That was interesting stuff. I haven't seen the offseason process yet, how do you know if a player turns down a team's offer, does the game tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It shows the best offer the player has got through every step of free agency. The Yankees were Francoeur's best offer until the last week of free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterosefan Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Saw the same thread pertaining to MLB2K9, just thought I'd ask if anyone is playing their season on MVP, who with, and how are they doing so far. I, among a lot of other people, gave 2K9 a shot when it came out but had to resort back to MVP for baseball this year for obvious reasons. After a few slider/datefile changes, I'm probably having the most fun I've had on MVP with this year's dynasty. I'm playing with Oakland ('08 Mod, KG's Updated Rosters, 2009 Schedule, etc.) and have finally caught up to the real life schedule, and will be updating daily with real life transactions (aquired via trade Adam Kennedy May 8th/Tampa Bay Joe Dillon). I'm currently 18-16, leading a mediocre AL West by 1.5 games. Tampa Bay (26-10) seems to be the best team in the league this year with a 22-14 LA Dodger tearing it up as well. Anyway, it seems to be quiet on the MVP front, just wondered how many and who's doing what in MVP this year. I would but I haven't played MVP baseball for well over a year (impatiently) waiting for the current version of Ultimate Rosters. :unknw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 JR, your presentation looks really good. Slightly different to the type of presentations you used to create but extremely well created, easy to read and contains a lot of information. :good: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 JR, your presentation looks really good. Slightly different to the type of presentations you used to create but extremely well created, easy to read and contains a lot of information. Thanks rick, as always when I do finally get going, things are bound to evolve and change. But to be honest, I don't feel there's much left to be done graphically to MVP as far as a presentation is concerned. A pic or two here or there to highlight the main story, but that would probably be about it. If 2K9 or The Show were actually worth playing through an entire season, I can promise you I'd take it to the limit. However, I personally believe MVP is still the best baseball game out there for hardcore gamers. It has always had it's flaws, (no 40 man rosters, so on), but the game plays SO well and there are enough tools out there to keep things accurate enough to play 162 games. If I really wanted to, I could play the game on MVP, and take the snap shots from 2K9, at least I would be getting something for my 20 dollars. But in all seriousness, I may continue with this style of presentation, and add a few more graphics as I progress. One baseball season is never the same as the next, so it can always be interesting and anything can happen. I mean, you should see this Cincinnati Reds team in my dynasty, they're wiping up the NL and will probably do the same this week in Interleague Play. That said, I really like the angle of seeing the boxscores, season matchups, player news, injuries, and a small write up, maybe even try to throw in a storyline along the way. If people want to follow, that's great. If it's not their cup of tea, that's fine too. Either way, I'm having fun. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkmanAnt Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 @ MILK - Looks like AA has cooled Perez just a bit. Keep us posted on his progress. Not so fast after all! If he keeps this up, should I call him up to AAA on June 1st? He's hot. As for my MLB team, I'm 14-16, it's been rough. I'm entering my rubber game vs. the Mets @ Citi Field, and I have to go up against Johan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkmanAnt Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hmm i always thought Tabata was a bit over rated. Lol. I'm really thinking about making a big prospect for prospect trade, man. I have a CF in Andrew McCutchen, 22 in AAA. He's doing ok and hits better vs. LHP than Nate McLouth. Tabata is hitting around .220. It's frustatraing knowing that I have outfielders that are tearing it up in A ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 MILK - Looks like Perez could be in the Big Leagues around (or after) the All-Star Break. Sure you aren't playing "The Road To The Show?" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing "The Road To The Show." It's Pedro, JR! Perez Alvarez sounds to smooth lol. But if he does keep this up, who knows. Ramon Vazquez has been faltering a bit, now hitting around .220 in the bigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I just had my best pitching performance all year with Ian Snell! He only pitched 5 innings with 77 pitches. This was my 1st time having more K's than hits.

JoeRudi26 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Anytime you beat Johan Santana, it's a plus. Good job. I just played a fantastic game against the almighty Rays. At 19-21, I desperately needed a win, and this one was as nail biting as it gets. Back and forth, I just hung on. I still can't believe how solid MVP is.

Maestro23 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Looks like a great game Jay. Kennedy was seeing the ball pretty well. Congrats on the win, and against Garza. I see Wuertz got the win out of the pen. Didn't do that stuff when he was a Cub. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE.DOCTER Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Pittsburgh is loaded in the OF. Craig Monroe, Nate McLouth, Nyjer Morgan, Brandon Moss, Andrew McCutchen, Jose Tabata and a few more people whos names escape me now. If i were you milk and you wanted to make a move Tabata wouldnt be a big loss and you could probably pick up a nice pitching prospect. Maybe try Brett Cecil from the Toronto Blue Jays. The lefty is the Jays top pitching prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
