With an expansion team in the making, I've decided to make a team log.
Well, a soonish-to-be team log.
Right now however, I'm still in the semi-longish proccess of creating an expansion team. This of course means making a new player for every position or editing minor-leagues for my team. I'm considering making them all this year and only putting back-ups for injuries on my team. This way I can actually benefit from the draft. I will be starting my team on every level turned to powerful and trying to challenge myself as much as possible. This thread will be updated as I talk about my players and how I'm creating them. I'm also (the main reason for a pre-team log haha) trying to think of a new name and choose a stadium. If you have any ideas, please tell me.
Team Design:
My uniform and theme will most likely be fiery red and blue colors with the same uniform as last year. I will post a thread and give you specifics (color numbers) of last years so you can get a better idea and so you can get an idea of the type of players I make. Last year I creatively :roll: came up with the name the Las Vegas Devils of Panapaka Park. It is possible that I might change the theme. I will add more about the theme soon.
Edit: Here is my old team viewtopic.php?f=6&t=544&start=15
My team so far:
Starting Line up:
1. Road Runner SS
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Lou Gherig 1B is also done but I have not decided his place in the line up.
Road Runner:
Road Runner is by far the fastest and slickest player on the team. A real all-star, he is maxed in speed and has A contact. While he is only an average-to above average fielder, his batting ability, despite his lack of power (f), can more then pull his weight. He has B- arm strength, D+ fielding, and D- error resistance. He has quite a nice mix of abilities too with Stealing 4, Base Running 4, Contact Hitter, Hot hitter, Tough Out, and Tough runner. He hits particularly well anywhere on the right 2/3ds of the strike zone with the exception of the top middle (which is not red or blue). Road Runner had light orange glasses and is fairly popular. Road Runner was my second player in success mode but I was rather dissatisfied with his B- Speed and bad fielding so I brought him into MLB life. He unfortunately became way better then I originally planned so to compensate I need to tone down my other players. and my first in MLb Life (first to finish or get to the mirror at least).
His code:Image


Players I plan to create:



Extra and possible ideas:

This sounds pretty neat, although it is more difficult to have only "Gray" players

haha, its even harder when these gray injured players get injured for lack of rest and you have no pitchers left.
I'll add the players I'm currently making and either post a picture of my uniform or give specifics.
