My Mets team is insane in year 2 after another huge off-season...
Line-Up vs. RHP SS - Jose Reyes (progressed a shitload) 2B - Kazuo Matsui (actually regressed, but I decided to keep him here to see how he did and he's done tremendously thus far) CF - Carlos Beltran (progressed into a monster) LF - Miguel Cabrera (another guy who progressed) 3B - David Wright (progressed so much vs. RHP it's scary) RF - Cliff Floyd (switched him over to RF to accomodate Cabrera...he beat out Mike Cameron for the starting job in ST) 1B - Shea Hillenbrand (didn't really progress or regress but I needed a good enough 1B since I could never cut it with Mientkiewicz in terms of hitting) C - Mike Piazza (re-signed him for one more year.....obviously he regressed a shitload but he's much better than any of the other options I have, even if he is a defensive liability) -Pitcher Slot- Lineup vs. LHP SS - Jose Reyes 2B - Kazuo Matsui CF - Carlos Beltran (90-something power/contact vs. LHP) C - Mike Piazza (still crushes lefties) 1B - Shea Hillenbrand (amazing against LHP) LF - Miguel Cabrera RF - Victor Diaz (Neither Floyd nor Cameron can cut it against LHP) 3B - David Wright -Pitcher Slot- Bench OF - Whoever isn't starting between Floyd/Diaz OF - Mike Cameron IF - Miguel Cairo 2B - Luis Rivas (originally signed to be the starter, but Kaz had a much better spring) 1B - Doug Mientkiewicz (primarily kept around for his defense because Hillenbrand sucks on the field) C - Richie Driskill (my top catching prospect.....should probably be in AAA getting more at-bats but he's phenominal defensively...the same cannot be said for my other catching options...plus he hit his way onto the team during ST...typically used as a late-game defensive sub for Piazza) Starting Rotation 1. Pedro Martinez (amazingly, his pitching attributes hardly changed at all) 2. Hubert Perry (some 20-something year old prospect that I converted from a reliever because he has 70-something stamina...only throws 3 pitches but one of them is an amzing 102 MPH heater) 3. Tom Glavine 4. Victor Zambrano 5. Kris Benson Bullpen (I did like the Mets did IRL and signed a crapload of relievers this off-season and made them all compete for their spots, outside of the closer) LRP - Abe Alvarez MRP - Mike Myers MRP - Francis Beltran SU - Roberto Hernandez SU - Dae-Sung Koo CP - Braden Looper Gonna need to up the difficulty a little more though...I'm using pro w/ altered sliders but I think I've finally mastered that level...

Huge bump right here.
How do the player progressions work? Like I just finished off my first season and finished spring training for my second year. And some people had pretty awful declines and some had really good progressions. So how does this all work? Is there things to do to get them to progress more or what? |

I think it is a combination of how well they did in the season, how well they did in spring training (mini games) and age.

Career Potential is the main one I think.....because guys like Victor Diaz only have a 3-star potential, so he actually went DOWN even though he had a great year and is only 25 Also, I'm heading into the 2007 season.....Carlos Beltran went down (not much but he still went down) despite still only being 29 and winning the NL MVP in 2006 |

2005 Fantasy Draft Vlad Guerrero BA went down .60 pts after allstar brk after leading triple crown. ended up with like 40 HR, i was simming most games. Next year bats .366 with 46 HR, 150 RBI beat Sean Casey for triple crown.
Do they have slumps built into the game or what. Like I got 20 pitches which normally would have been HR but were just fly balls. |

Yeah I think they have hot streaks and slumps because I remember like hitting 5 HR with Johnny Damon in 7 games right before the all star break. I hit like 3 with him before that.
