What are the 2 best teams ?

@sitboaf 3 жыл бұрын

@@s.h.723 The American Dreams are far and away the best team. Power, Contact, and their 2 starters are very good. They are a hair slow, and have an okay bullpen, but always win every simulated season by brute force. The second best team is a tougher call. Ninja Blacksox are a little weak, but excel everywhere else. Japan Robins are well-rounded. Brave Warriors are Dreams-lite. In 5th, I would put the Ghastly Monsters - very fast with excellent defense. Then in 6th/7th would be the World Powers (mediocre at everything) or the Lovely Ladies (good pitching, but kinda bad at everything else), and lastly the Crushers, who just suck out loud. Were I to run an office tournament, though, I'd have everyone create their own team, where you can choose your specialty (power, contact, speed, defense, pitching, or balanced).

Y’all need to play Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for the SNES! One of the best baseball games ever made. Seattle is one of the best teams in that game because Nintendo of America was based in Seattle when the game was made and Ken Griffey Jr. is the only actual player with his name and likeness in the game, everyone else, you’ll have to look up, but the names of the players are relevant to the team or just downright out there. One of the most fun games you’ll ever play, hands down!

Definitely make your own teams. You get to spend salary to improve skills as you see fit. Maybe play a few games against Lovely Ladies first because they give you higher attendance = more money for wins

@Nerd_of_Anarchy 3 жыл бұрын

The higher attendance is because of the prestige. When you create your own teams, fire all the bench players and over half your pitchers. Then only improve the replacements' prestige. Your pitchers don't have to rest after starts.

i used to: 1. start a new team 2. fire everyone on the team 3. play a few PvP versus the lovely ladies 4. use the second controller and have the L.L. pitcher hit my players til i had 10 runs 5. have them bunt the ball til i had three outs 6. make a fair amount of money 7. hire a whole knew team - all from the Rookie pool, all with at least an 88 max for stats 8. grind out a ton of games with the L.L.s til i had enough cash to power up my new Rookie team 9. make a league with a bunch of teams - at least 2-3 would be teams i created that were powered up so i'd have some competition 10 enjoy! :)

@sk3350 3 жыл бұрын

Everyone is saying you should make teams for the league and I agree, but maybe you can fit in a draft somehow. I can't really figure out how to do a straight up draft because of the Lovely Ladies, but maybe you guys can have themes to each team, make them separately, and as the league progresses each manager gets to unveil the team they've created. So maybe you end up with a team of 80s pro wrestlers vs a team of boy band members. Jomboy could get all deep into people's backstories like he does, it could be fun. Either way, happy you guys found this game, if you want to get wacky the NES game "Base Wars" has similar mechanics to Baseball Stars, but each team is made up of robots. Worth checking out for the content I could imagine. Keep it up!

And I hope there are times when the game seems unskippably frozen with twangy electro-beats droning on for hours. And then after feeling angry for a long time from the frozenness, you recognize that it wasn't a glitch, but a legit tea break, programmed in deliberately so you can smile at yourself and also laugh with your buddies for wearing sweater-vests, and hardhats with cages during the hottest part of the year.

Love it! This is still one of my favorite baseball games. The tough one here is out of the box the default teams aren't very fair. The American Dreams are so head and shoulders better than the other teams you can't really play a fair game if one of you picks them, the Ninja Blacksox are definitely the best of the rest, but then the rest of the teams are just bad. Powering up your own custom teams then facing off was the way to go, but making and powering up a custom team took a LOT of time.
