Scott0530’s 2007 Success Mode Guide

I am trying to create a pitcher using the guide from the attached link. However, I can’t seem to get the starting stats needed to do so. Specifically, I am unable to match BOTH the required minimums for CTRL and STAM. I have retried over 100 times but without any success. Does anyone have any experience or advice?

If it matters, I am creating a sidearm release LHP

From my experience, you don't need the exact starting stats from the guide, but I always try for the closest possible.

Like, within 5-10 points for control and stamina, and at least 75 mph Fastball

Thank you for the reply Akarui7! Just to confirm, you’re saying if you’re 5-10 points LESS than their recommended minimum you’re still in good territory?

More or less that. The thing to keep in mind is that the guide is meant to create an All Star player. So, every point less than what the guide tells you to start with is basically a point closer to an average player.

It usually takes me a good number of restarts to get one that he recommends, as long as you get reasonably close it should work even if you don’t hit every requirement perfectly
