QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) The graphic gap between the two games isn't even the biggest thing. I admit to never playing the final builds of 2K baseball in years, but I play the demo every year, and the gameplay is just horrendous. The sounds aren't right, the gameplay is buggy, the controls are odd (although I suppose those could be defaulted to button-styled), and the camera views are bad. InsideEdge is something I do like, and they have some pretty cool stat overlays, but that's about it. I honestly wouldn't even pay $30 for that game. And it's not just me, and it's not just graphics. All the reviews in the world will show that SCEA's version is the better game. You don't have to like it, and maybe you just want an easy, arcade style game that isn't very deep, but that's fine. But I'll never concede that 2K's version is even close to The Show, and this is coming from a guy who always owned All-Star baseball and then 2K baseball up until The Show '09. you fan boys kill me.. since when is 2K arcade simulation? The graphics is the only thing thats killing the 2K series.. the gameplay is no different than The Shows.. You act like 2K is some one button does everything game.. Oh im sorry, getting to choose to keep your guy warming in the bullpen "Waiting to enter the game" is a deal breaker, The Show is beyond deep..

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) Have you guys actually played the My Player mode in MLB 2k12? Im sure they havent. 2K12 is a good game, the graphics just look weak.. which I dont understand why they cant grasp that..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 07:32 PM) I'd imagine you didn't have fun because the Show takes a legitimate learning curve and is not at all like an arcade simulation. lol, settle down mr force trade

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Mar 16, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) Draft order and all keepers are set. Be sure to check the draft results page to make sure I didn't screw anything up. Ill assume that means when I picked my keepers on yahoo that it worked.. excellent..

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 12:17 AM) I mean, if you only have an Xbox, I guess you have to live with it. But if PS3 copies of that game are being sold, then people need to have their PS3's removed from them, because that's pure abuse. Sorry, but I have played both The Show and 2K this year and they are essentially the same game with The Show having much better graphics.. I dont really care what the game looks like, am I having fun playing it is much more important to me and The Show was not a fun game to play at all.. It may be because of my awesome giant TV, but I dont know that for sure.. All I know is, I want to have fun playing any game and The Show was not fun to me.. If 2K looked like The Show did, it wouldnt be so lopsided in popularity.. I really dont care though as I get everything I need for my baseball fix from 2K without having to play The Show and want to rip my ball hairs out in the process.. Now the only thing I have left to do is figure out what to do with this piece of s*** PS3 that FoP made me buy and is now just collecting dust under my TV..

Yes, I did trade in The Show for MLB2K12.. The Show was terrible and I cant believe I got suckered into buying it by FoP.. Plus, MLB came with NBA2K12 as well and im loving that game so far.. I dont get how you guys can like PS3 so much.. its so inferior to XBOX its not even funny.. You have to wait for long loads whenever you put a game in the PS3 (Yawn) the dashboard is clunky and poor to navigate.. the controller is too damn small.. You cant talk to anyone when you are playing online.. The bluray is pretty damn nice though..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) I was just going off what you stated. He got stabbed, by his wife, last offseason.. I dont think its hard to get whats wrong with him.. He is a great WR, cant argue that.. but the dude is a little off.. I think they new regime in Miami just didnt want him around and thats the main reason why they dumped him.. They had plenty of cap space, not like they were under the gun or anything..

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) I would think that Kyle Orton and Chad Henne's deep ball abilities had more to do with that. His production isn't really in question here.. its not like he completely fell off the table with either or those QBs throwing to him..

They didnt trade Marshall to make room for Manning and Wayne.. They traded Marshall because he is a problem child and the new regime wanted to move on without him.. Ive given up on the Payton Manning in Miami thing, I dont think he is considering them at all.. Ive heard a lot of Ryan Tannehill at #8 which I wouldnt be opposed of if they think he is the guy considering Mike Sherman was his coach at A&M and is pretty familair with how he could end up at the next level.. There is still a chance at Flynn too, either way I think they are going to make some sort of move like that.. I am dissapointed they only got 2 third round picks for him after giving up 2 seconds for him just two years ago but it clears up some space so we can make some more moves to improve overall.. He never lived up to elite status while here so it is what it is I guess..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 10:27 AM) You have ps3? If we did a shorter season (not committing to 162 games of online play), I'd be down. Yeah, FoP made me buy one yesterday..

Is there going to be a soxtalk MLB 12 online league this year? Ide assume there will be a ton of people available for one seeing as how most people in here get the game..

I selected my keepers on the yahoo page.. Let me know if it doesnt work out that way and I can post them in here for ya zoom..

Man, the Heat are going to go 82-0

I guess this is ok, but very cheap.. As long as he is liked by the players and doesn't make stupid decisions I don't see how this is any different from anyone else who could have been here.. its not like you have to be a genius to be a winning manager..

QUOTE (danman31 @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 04:13 AM) That was my impression of Gamefly. I saw the prices and thought 'you're kidding, right?' I'm curious what the new Netflix model will be. Considering 1 DVD at a time is only $8 a month and Blu-ray makes it $10 I can't imagine video games would even double that (which would still be less than Gamefly). If it's another $8 I'd consider going on and off it every few months, but if it's $5 a month I might keep it year round. I'm more hopeful than realistic I think though. Redbox has games now and they are $2 per day.. I got Dead Island from a redbox as a way to try it out, and I didn't like it.. Im glad that only cost me $2 to find that out instead of much more.. That would be sweet if Netflix had a video game service

Yes, as I took over my team from someone a few years ago and have only been able to fix my pitching over that time.. itd be sweet to get to draft the guys I wanted to keep

Jackson is very boom or bust, but he scored 17 this week and didn't even score a TD.. Hes risky, but I have him in every league I am in because he can get you that 20+ week (sometimes without even a TD) and that's huge for a WR.. I don't feel that MJD is a #1 fantasy back for this season, the Jaguars are lousy and they are going to be behind in a lot of games so I don't think the value you are going to get from him is going to be enough to trade arguably the best WR in the league.. I understand that Tron isn't going to score 2 TD's every game, but you would be crazy to trade him right now.. Detroit is going to throw the ball a lot whether they are losing or winning, and this season is insane for the passing game.. I would keep Calvin.. a boom or bust WR and a fringe #1 fantasy back on a very bad team just isn't equal value for a guy that has been the #2 fantasy WR overall so far..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) Let me know if you like it. Hell no im not doing that.. the $7.95 a month is just a starter price, this is what the real prices were.. $25 a month for 2 games at a time $15 a month for 1 game at a time So lets do the math.. For $300 a year I can "rent" 2 games at a time or I can buy and own 5 games For $180 a year I can "rent" 1 game at a time or I can buy and own 3 games This isn't even taking into account that I have gotten between $20-30 in credit for games that I have traded in at Gamestop thus reducing the price of a new game from $60 to $30 to sometimes free.. For instance, I have Madden12 and GOW3 right now, plus a $5 preorder on Batman AND an extra $20 from my last store credit Currently, Arkham City is going to cost me $40.. Well I plan on trading in Madden and Gears before I pick up Batman.. Gears already has an automatic $30 trade in if you do it before November 19th or something.. that drops Batman down to $10.. Now add in Madden, which is prolly going to be between $20-25.. now Batman is free and I have extra credit to go into my account.. Oh, and I forgot to mention I get an extra 30% on my trade ins due to it going towards Batman and me being a powerup member.. So basically, I am going to get about $65-70 for trading in two games which will give me a new game at no cost to me, and leave me with extra credit in my account for the next game I will be buying (MW3) Basically, after seeing the prices, I don't understand how Gamefly gets any business ESPECIALLY from a casual gamer.. Why would you spend all that money a month when realistically buying games and trading them in when you're done with them is far and away a better financial decision.. Honestly, I cant remember the last time that I paid full price for a video game, its been years..

So apparently they want to do a huge main event at Survivor Series that would be an Anti-WWE team against a WWE team and the Anti-WWE team would be like Miz, Truth, Nash and some people against Cena, Rock, HHH, Punk, and Undertaker or Stone Cold.. If this is the case, im ok with what they are doing right now as anything to have a traditional like SVS ppv would be pretty sweet.. And it also said that it could increase the likelyhood of getting Austin to wrestle Punk at mania..

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) It was supposed to be the whole locker room and there were a ton of "rivals" out there, just not standing together. Critic is correct, it was done to not get those guys heat, which is stupid and once again, Punk's character apparently has done a complete 180 on the wwe in the last 3 weeks here. It's awful. The smackdown spoilers are infuriating by the way, I'll leave it at that for now. There were a ton of midcard "rivals" out there, but nothing from the main event scene currently.. Plus, there were plenty of fan favorites out there as well.. The thing this is doing, imo, is setting it up to have Trips removed from power because someone else is sabotaging him It doesnt really take away from CM Punk, because hell be in his own storyline eventually.. he took over #1 merch sales from Cena and from what I have seen on wrestlezone the plans are to have him in the spotlight for the forseeable future..

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) Kenny said it's time to play the kids. At 30, Ramirez is no kid. And didn't he say he was 33 actually? I swear I heard that

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) I rented it anyway. Wow, Blockbuster, thanks for the super-competitive pricing. $7.49/month unlimited games/movies 1 at a time (an introductory rate). I'll beat this, then just pick up other crap. Thats a sweet deal, unfortunately for me the last blockbuster I knew of shut down about 2 weeks ago around me.. Ive been thinking of trying the gamefly route

Are you guys serious? How much sense would it make to have Orton and Mark Henry standing next to eachother, concerned about HHH and how things are going under his watch.. maybe CM Punk, Del Rio, and Cena could have all put their arms around eachother and brainstormed a few questions to ask.. Some people didn't need to be out there because it would have looked stupid..

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 02:46 AM) Weird and somewhat interesting ending to Raw last night. Most of the roster (no main eventers came out), along with refs and announcers, aired their grievances to H (basically saying it's an unsafe working environment with him in charge) and then walked out, along with the cameramen (a nice touch), leaving Tripsy alone in the ring to play to the crowd (which he couldn't resist, of course). I hate that the entire show has become about The Nose, but at least that was an unusual twist. When it went off the air Ryder came back out and said he changed his mind and he has confidence in Trips, and then got a pedigree..

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 08:15 AM) that would be pretty funny to just pull him for a week. what kind of message does that send? "dont say politically incorrect things or you get your hand slapped. then all is forgiven" The thing I read on yahoo said it was pulled last night and would be back pending how he acted over the next week.. Ide assume it will be back though
