Power Pros Forum

Before I post the update for the next week, as requested by AgentP, here's how Rainbow Beach Stadium looks like in OOTP:



In the future, I'll get pictures for Panpaka, GreenApples, and the Local Ballpark. Hopefully it looks alright to you guys!

No way, that's awesome! Didn't even know you could do that!

OOTP meets MLB Power Pros. I love it. I love bringing video games together.

Holy cow, that's awesome! RBS has always been one of my favorites

So ends another week of ABO baseball! I should have the next update up either late today or around this time tomorrow. My question is: which update style do you prefer? Do you prefer the text ones, or the ones with the pictures? Let me know!

In the next installment of "MLBPP Stadiums in OOTP", we have GreenApples Stadium, home of the Boise Apples:

Power Pros stadiums in OOTP is super cool. I had no idea you could do that!

And it's just perfect that you have a team called the Apples for this one

I was busy yesterday, but before I post the next weekly update today, I have the 3rd of the four MLBPP stadiums in OOTP: Panpaka Park! Enjoy!

This one was made before I made the other ones, meaning the quality on it could be a little better, but I think it turned out OK nonetheless.



And, if anybody wants me to, I can cobble together some .prk files and maybe make the MLB Power Pros stadiums available either here, somewhere else, or on the OOTP forums as a compilation zip folder or something. Thoughts?

The next week for the ABO should be interesting, to say the least! A good amount of divisional matchups, with some intriguing interleague matchups as well. Can't wait to see what's in store this week!

Real quick, before the next update, here's a look at what the Local Ballpark looks like in OOTP. I think this turned out decently well.

It turned out well except for the fact that your outfielders aren't in the field of play

EDIT: Speaking of all these really short fields, how are they affecting ERA's and HR numbers?

Ah, that's just cosmetics there, lol

As for the short fields and how they affect ERA, the fields are definitely having an affect on that. The most extreme example is for Boise, which plays in GreenApples Stadium, who lead the league in dingers with 43, but because of their pitching, their ERA is only 3.63, compared to at least 2 other teams in that divisions with ERAs over 5. Brooklyn is another example, playing in a re-incarnated Polo Grounds, who have over 35 dingers, and regularly gets at least 2 or 3 a game (and sometimes 1 or 2 of the inside-the-park variety). Their ERA is the 3rd-highest in the entire league at a 5.28.

So, yes, there is definitely an effect on ERA's and dingers with the shorter fences.

Before I get to the Weekly Recap, a question: how can I improve the update style? Did you like the pictures of the standings, rather than the text? Should I add things or get rid of things? Let me know, because I am open to that kind of feedback for this log.

Lot of out-of-division matchups this coming week in the ABO, and that should be exciting! Can't wait!

With awards and standings I would like screenshot of the standings. Much harder for me to read.
Also, with the awards can you take a picture of the email then just cut out the email. Thanks!

It's a little difficult to read for me as well, however surprised with the results!! How did that happen???
