I agree. Some teams are more 'exaggerated' than others. Right now I'm focused on my Wideload team and because of the season progress MY team is at least getting that way. Arnold Schwartz now has 70 power, but I also have Usain Bolt with 70 speed and Grace Jones with 69 speed, so they both get subbed in most games when I need that speed. My pitchers are starting to change a lot as well, some leaning more towards junk and others speed. With Tong Po I can now pitch a 97mph fastball.

What I have no idea about is if the other teams progress during the season?

If not the next time I do a season I'll go with what I think is the worst lineup and customize them.

I have to say going with the action hero celebrities (with 2 exceptions; mike tyson and usain bolt) is super fun and entertaining, really glad I went with it.

Watching Van Damme devolope into an all-around contact/power/speed guy and having Dolf Lungren and Arnie go pure power is kind of awesome. Guys like Mr T, Uma Therman and Stallone are still finding their way. On the pitching side Michael Ironside is well rounded, and I have Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Deniro all becoming more distinct with Pai Mei the closer where I'm focusing him on pure velocity.

The only confusing thing to me is I'm the grey dogs or whatever. I picked them because of high.speed but none of my guys seem fast enough to steal a bag. I'm always caught.

Is it just press the button and they go on the pitch?

Stole my first base. So I guess pitch speed and arm matter a lot.

running speed is a big deal too, my Arnie will never steal a base, he's too slow. Once you get above 50 and especially high 60s and 70s you can be a regular ... Usain Bolt on my team is at 72 now I believe, I'm on ego 58 and I'm stealing bases with him fairly regularly now. I'm going to keep spamming his upgrades to be speed based and see how high I can get him, plus their confidence helps too if it's high.

Enjoying the game, pretty fun. Playing with the buzzards who I think are defensive specialists, but I can hit pretty decent with them.

Has anyone seen a dive animation in the infield other then the full out dive? It seems there are some groundballs in the infield that are just out of reach of a regular fielding animation , but if I dive, The fielder over dives the ball and it ends up hitting them.

Were you doing online play, or season? Is season affected in any sense, including XP?
