NOMAR SAYS
Inside Pitch
has a cool feature for fans who love the
wheeling and dealing that goes on every year around
the trade deadline. Teams that are out of playoff
contention may offer to trade their star players to
contenders (such as your team, hopefully!). Pulling
the trigger on a blockbuster deal can make all the
difference in the stretch run to the playoffs.
ADDING CREATED PLAYERS
You can use the Create/Train Player feature to create a new
player and then put him on your team using the Trade function.
To add a created player to a team
1. From the Main Menu, select Team Manager,
and then Trades.
2. When you create
a new player, he
is saved in your
profile. Pull the Left
or Right trigger until
the created player’s
profile is displayed,
and then select him.
3. Follow the steps to
trade one of the
players on your team
roster (who will be
released to the free
agent list) for the
created player.
SEASONS & PLAYOFFS
For baseball purists, the 162-game season is a vital element
of the game. No other sport puts such emphasis on the long
haul or the importance of statistical trends, multigame series,
and winning streaks. Winning or losing a single game is less
important than, say, taking three of four on the opposing
team’s home turf. Of course, 162 games is a hefty schedule,
which is why
Inside Pitch
allows you to create abbreviated
seasons of varying lengths.
Seasons, which can be played by up to four players, capture
the full Major League experience, complete with trades, injuries,
roster changes, player releases/pickups, the All-Star Game,
and a full postseason.
