Pennant Team Bonus

TBWepa

Where or when does the pennant team bonus come into play? Does it work in WoH or in CVC if not, is it that important to have on your players?

They are supposed to apply to all game modes, at all times, but I have never seen a noticable difference.  I still do it, because I play season mode consistently, but it is anybody's guess if they actually help.

@CanadaCubs sounds like a quote off of “Angels in the Outfield” lol. Great movie growing up.

Such an awesome movie 😁 I'd put sandlot at 1, and Angels in the outfield might be number 2 for me (as far as baseball movies go).

Tdub71

I agree with Sandlot at #1 but I am still partial to Field of Dreams and Eight Men Out, even though John Cusack is barely believable as any kind of athlete...

What about rookie of the year? I always wished I could throw 100 mph as a 11 year old. Lol 

Bull Durham is also a favorite.

Little big league was always a favorite of mine as well

“Did he just say funkybuttlovin?”
Major league has to be up there right?

Major league is definitely up there. I haven't seen field of dreams since I was a kid, and I hated it, so I'd have to give it another shot.

TBWepa

@effschmoo2 you are right, Major League was a great movie as well. There are too many out there that are also good. The Rookie, Little Big League, Mr Baseball, Mr 3000, 61.
(Bad News Bears was more of a comedy same for Benchwarmers, didn’t hit me with the baseball feel.)

Tdub71

Ahhh... Bull Durham.  Costner's rant about what he believes is.  One of the greatest speeches ever.

TBWepa

Costner’s a weird dude. Lol, did you hear the story about Costner banging Cal Ripken’s Jr’s wife?

Maybe if he took a day off once in a while his old lady wouldn’t be banging Crash Davis. 

Tdub71

No.  But he's Kevin Costner.  There was about a 20-year stretch when he could bang pretty much any woman on the planet.

TBWepa

@Tdub71 don’t disagree there. But he should have made a movie about it.

The fact this conversation even was five comments deep before Major League was mentioned only proves you all aren't ready to have it. 

Major League, A League of Their Own, Sandlot, Bad News Bears, The Natural, Bull Durham. 

Tdub71

Jeez, I hope it was before.  Those movies were awful...

Tdub71

Or maybe it was after, and she banged him out of pity over the lousy career turn.

TBWepa

In case any of you were wondering on on the bonus. This is the reply I got. Kinda does seem like you have to believe hard enough in it for it to work. Lol

I don't understand why. If I go up a pennant level for one of my Red Sox players, he goes from 24 to 25. Since 25 is more than 24, there is an improvement there! 🙄

I personally have never seen any difference in game play. Only in team strength 🤷🏼‍♂️

Purely cosmetic
