Tony La Russa Baseball 3 Make Your Favorite Player a Superman: ------------------------------------- There is a hidden feature in Tony 3: 96 that will give any player more punch than Babe Ruth, more speed than Rickey Henderson in his prime, and a better glove than Willie Mays! To invoke the mega-man feature, hold down the M, E, G, and A keys simult aneously when the player you want is batting in the Play or Manage Only mode of the action/arcade part of the game. If properly invoked, this will cause the player who's currently batting to take on superhuman characteristics, and retain these charac teristics for the remainder of the game. This feature is most evident when applied to a catcher or other infielder, as he will proceed to field every batted ball when his team is in the field. He'll also hit just about any pitch out of the park! Get Yourself in the Game: ------------------------- By changing an existing player's name, you may be able to get one or both of the game's announcers to say your name (or your father's, son's, etc.) when you' step to the plate! If your first and last names are fairly common, they may be in the announcer's database, even if no one player had the same name as you. For instance, if your name is Jackie Williams, the game's announcers will be able to state your name because the announcer database includes both Jackie' (Robinson) and (Ted) Williams. To tr y this, choose Edit Player Stats' from the Utilities menu, then choose any player -- ideally, a good/great player from your favorite team. Simply click in the boxes containing the player's first and last names, and change them to whatever you want. When you play a game involving the custom players team, make sure that new player is in the starting lineup, and see if the games announcer will call him by name when he steps to the plate! IMPORTANT: This trick will have a better chance of working if you choose Mel Allen as the games announcer; Mel simply has a larger database of names at his disposal than Hank Greenwald or Lon Simmons... Make it a "Co-ed" Game: ------------------------ This is a little-known function of the game, discovered only by those die-hard fans who play decades of seasons into the future in the GM Challenge portion of the game. If you play enough seasons into the 21st Century, women will start appearing in the game! By the year 2040 or so, you should have a Rookie of the Year winner named Barbara or Nancy! Lets face it, Tony 3: 96 is the only politically correct baseball sim on the market!
