It starts with a name input. I entered Rocky Iwata. Why not? I set him as a starter with an original 3-quarters pitching style, which I bought from the game's store earlier. It looks really cool.
Then the game started! I have played this mode for a while now and known a lot of tricks and tips already. However, there is something wrong about this time. Normally, every newly created player gets random stats, abilities and traits, even rare bad ones, and somehow my guy get "Imsomnia" from the get go! WTF!! "Imsomnia" is a curable trait which randomly causes a player to lose vitality, which is very important parameter for practicing, during the night. To cure this, I have to waste a week of practice to visit a hospital and waste the first 50 bucks, what a start!
Other than that, he got no other pitches. He also got good numbers on only non-pitching parameters, which is quite bad for a starting pitcher. There will be a lot of works to do.
Usually, the first month of the game is solely for a lot of practices. In this case, I would choose to do at least two breaking ball practices to get a knuckleball pitch early and so on, but it got robbed by that disease so I trained for one instead. On the 3rd week of the first Febuary, Frank, a good friend and a left-fielder in my AA team Green Apple, shows up at a lookout. Meet him, befriending and training with him will help later in the game, which I did, usually. I did an upper body training and got some strengh and breaking ball points. Sometimes training with Frank occasionally gives me an ability, but not this time.
At the end of the first month, I managed to get a level-1 knuckleball, which will be a very tough pitch for any hitters, even CPUs, in later higher levels. Right now, it is just another kind of changeup.
I will resume later, so see ya tomorrow, hopefully!
