| I'm now finishing up this final release of Baseball Stars: MLB Edition. Many of the aforementioned changes have been made as well as some others. Expect it to be finished and released tomorrow, as that will close this project for good for me and I'm thinking of starting a new hack sometime next week. However, if anyone needs help hacking this game I will still have my notes and will be glad to help out a fellow hacker.
On a side note, any last-minute suggestions or bugs for my Version 1 release would also be appreciated to ensure that I make the cleanest hack possible. |

| Dr. Death, my simulated league is at about 50 games per team; I'll put together a spreadsheet with full stats and post it.
Some more generic comments: * All the pitchers need better curves and drops, or power hitters like Pujols, like the Yankees and Mets teams, and D. Lee, need to be weaker. Nobody can get anyone out; there are only four pitchers with ERAs under 4.00. * St. Louis and San Francisco in particular could use some pitching help. Should I finish this season or post it halfway through? |

| Attach the .xls sheet and I'll download it and take a look. Overall, with bullpens so thin, and with the way game behavior is determined, I believe that it'd be hard to make it so that hitters could maintain their abilities and for pitchers to have good ERAs at the same time, partly because the game was built for a lot of runs and because the ERA formula is a bit off. For example, relief pitchers will take the fall for runners the last pitcher put on base, otherwise, their ERAs would be lower.
I looked through the rosters and attributes again and although some teams are weaker than others, it seems they are good enough to win games consistently (really depends on the luck of the league you're playing) and also they are consistent with the actual rosters IMO. I'm looking forward to analyzing this spreadsheet to help finish this up. |

| OK, let me start making one. I hesitate to look at the ERAs! Seriously, Chicago gives up so many home runs that it's ridiculous. Pump up their pitching by a few points and take some away from Murton and Barrett, who are over-performing by a lot.
(Edit: Spreadsheet is done but someone has to post before I can post it, since I can't edit an attachment into a post. Standings, though, are like this 
The teams are: 1. Cubs, 2. Yankees, 3. Cardinals, 4. Giants, 5. A's, 6. Mets. Standings as of 70-71 games played:
(Edit II: Going to run a few more games and then post that spreadsheet instead. DD, are you changing any of the graphics? Of course I don't mind you using my title screen, but a new one of your own making would really help your hack stand out.)

| I changed a lot of things, I don't want to say all of them but yes, your title screen is gone for this final version. After I check out your spreadsheet, I'll post my final copy of BS MLB Edition if no changes are made. | |||

| OK, here's the original (14 games against each opponent) sheet; there aren't enough additional games to justify making a new one.
But for your info, since then, the Mets and Yankees have continued to dominate. The Cubs continue to put Bynum in for Lee and the Yanks put Andy P in for A-Rod. Yanks and Mets tied; Cubs 11 games back, the rest 20 games back or more. Pujols has 71 HR in 76 games; Delgado 67, Sheffield 63. Bonds 124 RBI, Pujols 121, Delgado 116, Lee 109. Farnsworth 2.88 ERA; Rivera, Victor Z., Sanchez, Wanger, Cain, Looper are next. Carlos Zambrano has 20 wins; Randy Johnson 17, Pedro and Glavine 14. Wagner 12 Sv, Dempster 8, Street and Sanchez 7. |

| What order are your teams in, I only have "Team 1, etc." to go by, I'll make some attributal changes where necessary before release. Thanks for the SS. | |||

| I posted it above, but I should've been clearer about that.
The teams are: 1. Cubs, 2. Yankees, 3. Cardinals, 4. Giants, 5. A's, 6. Mets. |

| Okay I have analyzed the sheet and made various changes, and now I've finished the project. Some players' stats were boosted and others lowered to help a little bit of the power shift. The A's in particular were adjusted. Anyhow, here's my final release of this game, my Baseball Stars MLB edition. Any comments would be noted, thanks for your support, credit is given where its due on the "End Play" screen, and enjoy. |

| Playing your updated hack and it's great!
I liked that you moved the Death logo team to the custom group, and the custom uniform colors look nice, particularly that dark gray one; the shading really stands out on that. Mets look a little better this time around, too. And I like the team-creation questions! (First one's hard to format, I admit...) |

| As far as custom team logos go, I liked being able to put the American Dreams and Japanese BlackSox logos and uniforms back into the game in case one wanted to use them as they weren't available as default teams.
My questions were easier than yours but harder than the original's. |

| Your questions are indeed a bit easier than mine (though the first one is hard to format). Mine are for the heavy history buffs.
Excess offense aside, I really like this hack -- when I played it as a kid we always put MLB teams in. Found one more tiny glitch -- it looks like you tried to edit the capital J in the small font; it's shifted one pixel to the right. Make a team whose name starts with J and look at the standings. |
