Yeah, I was just checking the league site to see how Schilling had 3 wins all ready, and it looks like you're right.
Darn, and I was hoping we'd have some legitimate drama in this place

4 man rotation shit is weak,this isnt the playoffs and most teams dont go on a 4 man rotation unless there are schedule changes/day offs or its near the end of the season.
Throwing out your best pitcher that much,how was he even able to do that with the injury bug.You would have thought Curt would have missed one game.
edit- Zep turned off injuries :lol nm I would have figured no way Curt would have been able to pitch this last game.

Seriously now, let's keep the injuries on, I guarantee you that Schilling and a bunch of other guys (well, anyone being overplayed) will be injured before playoff time.
Nothing personal AKA, you're just too damn good at sports games and we need to level the playing field :lol jkz

It's not even about being good in this case or leveling the playing field,it's about being sim to the sport.
If I threw out Roy O every 5th day instead of Nieve,that would almost mean an automatic win for me and his stats would be even more insane.
I have over 31 ks with him in two starts and he's practically unhittable...ask Konex or Pheeniks.
I'm not even sure why Zep gave it as an option to begin with this early in the season :\
Also we have three teams doing the 4 man rotation thing out of 20 something teams,two of them being the Yanks and Red Sox :lol Bad enough they have loaded teams.

Yea injuries has made it stupid and now that Zep has turned them off,4 man rotations should be done with.
Shit,when you get down to it,the game doesnt play that sim *too many hrs*but it doesnt hurt to try to play the league as sim like as possible.
I blame the commish *looks at Zep* and 2k for everything!

Damn, what a game. Sheffield is the man! 2 run HR off the foul post in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs. Then Pudge hit a HR in the bottom of the 10th. Good shit. I finally beat Matrix, yay! GG.
DM you wanna play? Also, that's an awesome gif:lol

I just hit another off-the-foul-pole HR , this time with Granderson. GG DM
edit: I didn't realize that you didn't mean to throw that pitch. That's shitty, but I still would've won 2-1 even without that long ball...

Pretty choppy lag again.. which was weird because the previous game was pretty smooth. Couldn't get a good pitch to save my life and gave up 4 first inning runs... then settled down for a few and gave up another because it was too laggy to get under a freakin pop up. One of my two HR's, I hit A to swing and would have missed horribly but the game freezes for a second and somehow it makes me swing late when the game unfreezes and I hit it out of the park. At least it's not as bad as Show was I guess.

Heh I get like no lag :\ Show I had some,but if I get any lag in 2k its like just for a second or two.
So far the only real lag Ive had against anyone was Dez in our 2nd game and it only lasted for half an inning.
Edit- I hate joo DM!

Dez is the only guy I have lagged against too. 1st game of our 3 it was kind of choppy for a bit, I got a run to go up 2-1 on a wild pitch that had to be lag influenced, he got a 2 run HR off a pitch that was definitely lag influenced. 2nd game was fine... 3rd one was ok, first inning was not good, then it was ok till maybe the 6th or so then it was just choppy at random times the rest of the way.

Matrix said:Is Dez in Canada?
Cause id love to blame that on the lag
Yes, I know I'm just getting ridiculous now with the pics, but I don't care
and yes, I'm pretty sure he lives in Canada
-that guy in the background has the same look on his face that DM had after he accidentally threw that pitch to Granderson.
lol, yeah I'm in Waterloo, Ontario.. but when I played Matrix I was in Toronto.. and I think the game ran smoothly, aside from that one pitch to wells :lol I dunno, I guess i'm in a house full of 5 CS nerds who must be downloading a whole lot of schite. I just played another random game and it was perfectly fine though.. maybe because it's 4 am. Also I played a scrimmage with ChrisJames here, and I don't think it was laggy, was it? If the lag keeps up with ppl other than ando, then I'll only play on weekends (when I'm in Toronto) until i move out of waterloo, which is like a month away.

Do some investigating before you come to conclusions pal. See who Schilling pitched against and match that with my schedule. Thanks
Zep after our aim convo you said it's ok to use a 4 man rotation, u even have it listed in the rotation page. Papelbon is my closer (He was last year) he is a starter this year but it's not a definite thing since the Sox dont have a closer yet. I'm sure he will be brought back to the pen. Especially if we sign Roger.
There's only 32 games, if there were 162 i would understand a 5 man rotation. I think we should make 4 man rotations mandatory not 5.
I'll be more than willing to reset my game #5 with DM and replay and throw Papelbon, not like it's going to matter anyways (J/K Dm).
So let me know, I do play SIM baseball guys, close to 100% strikes every game, i'm giving you guys a chance to hit, your just not doing enough.

0-4 here and gunning for the Yanks for season two I would like to vote for pinpoint pitching being the standard. I have been using breakpoint ever since i got the game due to the illusion of sometimes making a mistake, just like real life, but no one uses that, so if i make a mistake, 3 run homerun and my opponent rarely ever makes a mistake. I used it for my last game against Shawn, and i lost by one run in the bottom of the ninth while throwing a 3 hitter and having 12 strikeouts.

It had a touch of lag during one or two parts, but nothing bad really. Maybe just a few seconds total for the whole game.

Sorry, I was unaware of the glitch or whatever. I said above already that if that was the case then I didn't mean any hard feelings. I've seen you in other leagues so I know you're not that kind of player.

Eh I use breakpoint evey game,no way am I using pinpoint.
I could care less if my opponent uses pinpoint,it takes less skill to aim and pitch right where you want the ball than to learn how to pitch where you want the pitch to break in the strikezone.I dont want my side of the game to be dumbed down.
If pinpoint becomes standard in any league ...im out,id be bored to f-ing tears pitching.

Yeah well, it's an advantage to those who do. Hence the reason i have been struggling. I would be all for break point and swing stick, but some people just can't adjust to next gen gaming. It's like those suckers who use button controls in Fight Night in stead of the dual analog punching.Matrix said:
