1.) Who is carlie1998? Hello, my name is Jamie H. (37 yrs old) from West (by God) Virginia. Carlie is my daughter, she was with me when I set this account up and wanted to be a part of it.
2.) How did you get started in HBD? I’ve always loved playing sim games, but always against computers. So when I came across this site one day while looking on fox sports, I thought I’d sign up and see how I could do against other people.
3.) Who are your favorite real-life sports teams? WVU Mountaineers, Atlanta Braves (I think because they used to be on TBS all the time when I was younger).
4.) What is up with your team name? Who wouldn’t want to live in Hawaii. (I thought that I could lure some good players with that.) As for the Wave Runners? That was just the first thing that came to my mind.
5.) Who are your rivals? This was just my 3rd season and 1st in the Show II. I won my division by over 20 games so no rivals there, yet. If I had to pick one I would pick Primetime17. Went 5-5 in the regular season and thought we would meet in the NLCS. But unfortunately they didn’t even win one playoff game.
6.) Who is your favorite Show II player? And who is your favorite player on another team? My favorite player is the all-time HR and RBI king Esteban Delgado. Again, I’ve only been here 1 season, but the one guy that I would have love to have had this past season was Triple Crown/MVP Winner Ivan Harris.
7.) How does it feel to win a championship? It felt great, especially in my 1st season here. But that was my goal from the first day when I saw what kind of a team somebody had left me. I thought about going to Disneyland, but then I realized I couldn’t afford it.
8.) Many players play along time before they learn how to win the world series, so I have to ask, are you really a first time HDB owner? The only other HDB experience before this season was 2 seasons in foxx world. In my first season I took a team that had never won more than 81 games in 11 seasons to 105 wins but lost in the NLCS and then 84 wins my 2nd season. That was pretty much a 1 team world so I left to find something more competitive. I just went with the old saying that pitching and defense wins championships.
9.) Can you keep it rolling in season 5? I’m looking forward to the challenges of trying to repeat. I’ve got all the key players returning, and I’ll look to F/A or trades to try and improve.
10.) Any advice for new owners? My advice for new owners would be to use the help tab. I learned the hard way on some things that I thought I understood.
11.) What do you like best about HBD? And what would you change? I like the unpredictability and the realistic stats (most times), but I would like to fire and hire coaches during the season and also like to see more diamond in the rough players and higher rating increases.
