  1. look at that lineup....Mmmmmmmm tasty. I suppose they're giving people some experience, and a last shot to make an impression to be an injury callup?
  2. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 01:38 PM) Worst game ever: March Madness Edition of the EA's NCAA game. What trash. Complete waste of 10-15 bucks, however much it was. In each game, regardless of the team you pick, the other team miraculously shoots 80% from the field. There's no way to play defense. If you try to take a charge, they fly right past you and dunk. If you try to play zone, they hit 20 footer after 20 footer. It's riduculous. I almost broke my controller last night. ah yes....i've broken many controllers, and headsets, cuz of stupid s*** like that in games.
  3. QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) I was really worried that its going to suck. I could have written a better story, and that's just skimming actual story material from the marvel universe. f*** Hollywood for butchering such movies...seriously. If I could come up with a better plot you know something is wrong.

Still taking signups until Sunday night if people are interested. gonna be like 15 game commitment as of now, but if more teams join that will go up. 2 division games 1 non division game. vote on options that monday, as teams will be picked also. tuesday is draft everyone let me know times your available to draft.....and if you can't draft get me a list of your top guys....you can make it yourself or you can send me a link to a websites player ranking list. I should be able to draft for you.
  5. QUOTE (BobDylan @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 05:54 PM) Put me down for the Tigers, Indians, Cardinals, Pirates or Mets, in that order. gotcha
  6. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 11:11 AM) Wolverine has supposedly leaked on to the internets. Yeah....if that's close to the final cut of the movie then it sucks.
  7. QUOTE (SexiAlexei @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 09:57 PM) I guess I should have asked this earlier... Is guess pitch allowed in these games? Kinda makes it pretty easy. i think we were going to vote on the options when we get everyone in the league
  8. it's better to play the game with the person on the same ps3 as you. Online can get laggy and frustrating....but i guess you take what they give you. Hitting isn't bad if you have classic 1/4. If you guess the pitch right, most of the time you get rewarded with a hit. I found the biggest problem with hitting is when i play my show player....not with my franchise team.
  9. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Brandon Long was the best, by far. Justin Long??
  10. QUOTE (BobDylan @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) Odd. Through 9 games my rating is 4. Let me know if you can't get a rating. I'll hop on and get that 10th game played and set up the league. i have the league set up....except that i have to pick a team myself, so i chose the sox. I can set up a league real quick once we have everybody and their team in...so i'll pick who i get drafted.
  11. got around 7 or 8 at the moment.....if you know of anyone else that has the game and would like to play, by all means let me know....they're more than welcome to play. I have a friend and a brother who might be...
  12. if anyone else is interested, and has a couple friends who'd like to play let me know. Try to get me their psn names.
  13. pm me there psn id's chimpy
  14. for mlb the show online how do you get a rating on the game? I've played 10 games and have no rating.....
  15. 84-91 seems what they'll get, so i voted the 88-91 instead of the 84-87
  16. dunno how it runs, i'd say probably send a pm to the person you are playing on soxtalk or on the psn. Probably every other day or so.....unless you can get multiple in one day. I'm pretty sure you don't have to play the schedule in order....you can pick and choose which games you want to play. so if you know someone is on a lot, you can get those games done right away, if someone isn't on a whole lot try to schedule the game. still dunno how it runs, i'll know soon enough, i have to complete 10 online games before i can become a commissioner.
  17. Just found out you have to play 10 online games before you can become a comish. In process of doing that right now....currently 5-3 if anyone wants to play psn id is in my sig. Didn't know you can upload your own rosters to mlb the show. There is one guy who went through every minor league team and put real player names and s***.....awesome as hell. He also updated the rosters as of march 23.
  18. When I make my goals, i get rewarded nicely, might be different for pitchers and hitters
  19. Post in here if you are interested in an online league and able to commit to most games. I'll keep track of names. Max # of teams is 30. Deadline for signups is opening night. April 5th a Sunday. Draft for teams will be the next day, and the Draft for players will be on that Tuesday. Still trying to figure specifics on how to configure a draft online....will post updates for that. Hopefully a roster update is conducted by then, and if not...oh well I suppose. Draft for team selection will be randomized by me and BobDylan via IM PM a list of five teams in the order you like to be. eg: Cards, Cubs, WSox, Rays, Dodgers. If the cards cubs and wsox are all taken by your draft pick you get the rays as your team.

    Dreams

    Reminds me of a quote from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Sweet Dee:"I had the craziest dream last night that I was in Cleveland Ohio, which is really weird cuz I've never been to Ohio, and this guy was wearing a bunny suit, and he was coming out of a...." Dennis:"You know what Dee...I don't want to hear about your dreams...ok...I hate listening to people's dreams. It is like flipping through a stack of photographs. If I'm not in any of them and nobody is having sex, I just don't care."

  23. QUOTE (BobDylan @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) I changed my mind on The Show 09. I just needed to warm up to it. Anyway, is that league underway? If it's not, I'll volunteer to set it up. PM me if you're interested in playing and if you want to use the set rosters or have a draft. If it is underway, somebody tell me to shut up. not as far as i know....the team that developed the game are on vacation....and plan to make and release a patch for the game when they come back. Here is some problems I see with the game: I started the show, created my player, and entered the draft. Drafted for right field by the Cleveland Indians(I thought I'll see where this goes). #1-The game starts your ratings too low. With the default sliders, the game isn't too realistic with the hitting attributes. Me and my friends messed with the sliders to get a more realistic experience with the game. With how we fixed the sliders, the game was more fun than what it was with default sliders, and I collected realistic stats. First season .305 ave, 11 hr, 56 rbi's, 23 walks, 65 k's, .817 ops. Fixed with slider alteration. I plan to eventually turn sliders back to normal as my player progresses through his career. #2-Advancement goal period before the all-star break I only made 2 of the 6 goals and was put on the trade block. Cleveland proceeded to trade me to the Cardinals because of the failed goal period. You don't trade an 18 year old prospect in AA for Trevor Miller....just because of 1 goal period....not realistic. But I like the Cardinals and went with the trade anyway. Not able to fix this problem. #3-AI pitching is stellar, along with the defense. This was expected from all the specs I heard about the game. Except that it seems like all players are gold glovers. I turned the AI reaction down 2 notches. Got more realistic fielding. Fixed by turning Pitch control down 1-2 notches and fielding reaction time down 1-2 notches. This might stay the same throughout career as I get realistic walk rates and k rates....and get on base via believable errors. #4-At the beginning of second year....Cardinals saw my potential, bought out my contract, put me on the 40 man roster, and invited me to Spring Training. I thought this was realistic and awesome. I was rewarded by the Cardinals. I had a decent spring mainly batting in a pinch hitter role. Cardinals moved me up to AAA to start my second year. I proceed to bat .290 ave, 9 hr, 48 rbi's.....comparable bb/k ratio and ops. Cardinals bring me to the club as a September call-up. I play one game, and go 2-4 with a k. I get ready to play the next game and the game quits on me. Shoots me right to the PS3 XMB. I then retry 10 or so more times, with the same result. I go online and find that this is a problem with many people especially Sept. callups on the 14, 15, 16 of September. I hope that when the Development team gets back from vacation they can fix this problem, send a patch out, and I can get back to the best, realistic baseball game I've ever played. I'd hate to not be able to see where my career could have went. #4 Is the biggest problem for me.....the others can be worked with but this is a game issue or a ps3 issue and it worries me. Pleas let a patch be able to fix this problem
