A hot bat and a steel arm
I’ve gotten back into the groove on MLB Power Pros 2008, and finally pulled a character out of the minors into the major leagues. The mode’s a lot easier to go through once you’ve played through the AA year and built up your attributes somewhat. I believe I had two consecutive three-hit games, and that helped the scouts see me as good enough to play for the majors in six months. In hindsight, I probably should have placed him in a position other than shortstop, because now he’s going to have to compete with Jimmy Rollins for a spot on the starting roster. I’d probably have had better luck putting him in as a catcher.
In other news, I’d love to be able to chime in with the praise-singing of Bionic Commando Rearmed, except I still can’t get past the first level. Granted, the game looks awesome, but chugs terribly on my computer. I’m grateful the damn thing runs at all. Guess it’s time for another memory/RAM upgrade, huh?
