80s Greats ROM

[Ryno23]

Here is my first attempt at a ROM.  I took teams I watched as a kid and did an 80s Greats roster for each:

Chicago Cubs
St Louis Cardinals
Atlanta Braves
Cincinnatti Reds
New York Mets
New York Yankees
Oakland Athletics
Detroit Tigers
Kansas City Royals


I took the players best year from the 80s for their stats.  Pitchers were kinda hit and miss.  I'll be honest and say I didn't get the exact ERA's (as you'll see).

I put Rupperto as a PH for the Tigers. . . . he's bad ass on this ROM as well.

Enjoy and give me feedback.  I really enjoyed doing the ROM.

If you like it well enough, give me a yell for some online action.  It has the 2 player pause option and the choose same teams option.

I'll play this rom with you right frickin' now...I still owe you a beat down...

[Ryno23]

Damn you, Joe Dirt.

Your ass kicking awaits you.

If your man enough to answer my emails and messages!!!!

[Gantry]

Take it to chat boys...  That way someone else can go in and take winner

[Ryno23]

At the moment, chat is no different than my house.

I'm there by myself, playing with myself, wishing someone would join me.

Thank you for making an 80's cubs team I haven't played it yet but I can't wait to see if Jody Davis is there! Jody .. Jody Davis king of the home run ball !!

[_13eoWuLF__]

wow I just played it so awsome. Only thing is maybe you could have had Jay Johnstone on the bench seeing as that guy could sub for anyone. I thought the Red Baron was awsome so was Lee Smith. Made me think about the summers I spent watching the cubbies on WGN after we had moved back to the city. At the time I had no freinds seeing as it was summer and no school I remember just watching game after afternoon game. I love you cubs I miss the penguin and the sargent the bull the ryno and fans hooking those horns for keith.

I haven't added the numbers yet, but I Know the Cubs are the only team with all starters in doulbe digits for homers. . . . . but it appears they are the weakest home run hitting team.

The game I played with them, Raffy hit 2 homers, Dawson hit one, and everyone one else hit singles and doubles like nobody's business!

I haven't looked at the ROM yet to see if he's even on it, but I really think that you should modify the crowd graphics to add the Shawon-O-Meter.

[JoeDirt]

And is Bo Jackson so slow that he can't really run out of the box because of his hip replacement surgery?  

[ultimate7]

Saberhagen was Right handed wasn't he?

Ryno I played them and the Hawk had 3 homers Sandberg had 2 including a opp feild lol you know ryno never did that mnay times, and Jody hit 1 the Penguin alsop went yard. I think play them a few more times just to see maybe they had a bad game. BtW I played the computer as well so maybe that had something to do with it. But anyways our cubbies smashed up St. Louis 14 to 2. The Red Baron pitched 8 innings and Lee closed but gave up the two runs. I was suprised the Baron went 8 innings but he ws solid and had good movement on his stuff.

[Ryno23]

I'm sure  I missed some Lefty / Righty stuff.  I'll get 'em changed as time permits.

I put all starting pitchers as 45 or 50 stamina.


I bet Ryno didn't more than 10 opposite field homers his entire career.

[Ryno23]

Bo is fixed  

Sabby is a righty.

[Ryno23]
