five Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I stopped playing MVP ages ago, when NCAA and San Andreas came out. I recently picked it back up and finished my first season. I played all of the games, without simming any of them. I had several candidates for MVP, the two most notable are in the spreadsheet below. The number to the right of the stat, is where the player finished the season ranked (MLB wise) in that statistical category. Any stat in RED indicates that the player set the all-time record. My question to you, based on the stats, who would you award the MVP to? After a day or two, I will post who the computer chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbully Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 neither should win,they walked 7 times between them you play this game and take walks? I guarantee I don't - and I bet those 7 walks were all intentional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 In a EA game? What's a walk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I bet the computer picked Pierre. Anyway, I remember having a 72 HR season with Sheffield batting under .300. But my real accomplishment is winning a Cy Young Award with Chad Bentz, without editting him. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee I don't - and I bet those 7 walks were all intentional I don't take too many walks, most of them were hit-by-pitch walks, more than likely. I don't strike out too much, but I like to put the ball in play. my real accomplishment is winning a Cy Young Award with Chad Bentz, without editting him Yeah, I won a bunch of awards, among them were the ROTY and Cy Young with Dewon Brazelton and the Rolaids Relief with John Rocker.

slugger Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 geez So many homers. I never get stats that high, except for SBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Please tell me that it was a tie! Hey that's my name! (Ty) So many homers. I'm really not that great of a homerun hitter. Once I switched to all-star (at the break), Giles only hit 14 the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaplerisking Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Ohhh you weren't on all-star the first half? Well then, that makes those numbers seem less ridiculous. What difficulty did you play the first half of the season on? Well anyway, I'd definitely give the MVP to Giles, he brought all of the runs in, and those 234 sb's would have been a waste if Giles wasn't there to knock him in. By the way, did you ever steal home with Pierre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 What difficulty did you play the first half of the season on? Whatever is right below All Star. Pro I am guessing. I doubt I will play another season in MVP 04, but if I do I'll go ahead and bump it up to MVP. I am using rod's data file, not sure which version. By the way, did you ever steal home with Pierre? A few times, usually I was trying for a suicide squeeze and I would miss the bunt. I don't think that I ever tried to steal home, straight out.

abhall Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 No one. The fact that you didn't adjust your sliders/datafile to make steals more realistic is comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 The fact that you didn't adjust your sliders/datafile to make steals more realistic is comical. I disagree about the sliders/datafile, what isn't realistic is how much I run. I run just about every time Pierre gets on base. That's why the stat is so high, not because of a slider somewhere. If someone had close to 300 attempts in one season, they would have a high total as well. For 300 attempts, how many do you thing should be successful? My point is that it was me running so much that made it excessive, not some slider/datafile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 If I had Pierre on my team I would run him every time he got on first too. The thing is that the sliders make it easier to steal. If the stealing speed is lower then you won't want to make as many attempts because you would have a greater chance of getting caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm not sure exactly how many times he got caught, but it was over 40 times. From what I remember, mostly by the pitcher, but sometimes by the catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaplerisking Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Since we're on the topic of stealing, why doesn't the computer ever try to steal on me? I put the computer steal rate slider as high as it can go, and there still has not been more than maybe 3 attempts to steal on me the whole time I've had the game.

I'll tell you what is crazy, I just got finished with the ALDS vs. the Yankees and they tried to steal on me 8 times in a 4 game series. During the regular season, I had 4 attempts (against me) for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
