Alright fellas, gonna keep this short and sweet.

1) Go League Rules Page and read over the rules that I have laid out. See something missing or wrong, post it.

2) Everybody that doesn't have a PSN ID next to their name, post it, so I can fill it in.

3) If you are ready to give me your pitching rotations, please do. No rush, I understand ST has just started.

[Matrix]

IT'S ON ME MIG!

 

[LJ11]

I saw that Core407 was banned recently, anyone know for how long?

BigE is good people, we should slot him in as a replacement at the very least.

 

[Zep]

3 days for Core. And yes, BigE can be a first replacement. Could be better depending on someone else joining

He knows who he is!

 

[Miguel]

IT'S ON ME MIG!

Calm before the Angry Leprechaun

 

[Corran Horn]

If you get any room later on for some reason i'm game to join

[kbear]

Any idea on what the default settings are going to be?

My 2 cents..
- turn off guess pitch (I think this is automatically off for online play anyway)
- meter pitching, not classic
- fast play off

I dunno exactly what can be changed and stuff

 

[Zep]

I don't know what we can/can't change, so no dice on that front.

I hope to have the game tomorrow. If Gamecrazy decides to come through.

 

[Cloudy]

A-Rod returns!

[Ramirez]

My PSN tag is actually TJRamirez with no space Zep, I was close. :lol

So yea, I'm really liking the game, but I had this problem with the last one I bought, the pitching sometimes feels completely random. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried it with feeling the meter all the way to red, and stopping before it goes to the yellow part, but I'll stop it directly on the line on the way back and my pitch will still go 2 feet from where I originally aimed it. Tips?

If you are throwing fastballs, try not to take the meter up to the red every time. You will wear your pitcher put. Plus, if you don't hit the line, depending on which direction the pitch breaks, the ball will break more the further you are away from the line. Curveballs, change-ups, are prone to go to the dirt if you don't get the line as well. In addition, use the break indicator new to this year's version. Ideally, if you nail the pitch, a curve will break fully and cross wherever the bottom arrow is on the indicator.

hmmmmmm

QFT. When you are batting online, if someone happens to guess the location or the pitch you can't pitch with the meter...so the computer does it for you. Shit is annoying as hell!

 

[kbear]

What's the deal with this?

Online Leagues:

No fantasy drafts
No manual input of players.
Online live rosters only.
You can't even form a league until 14 days after you register on SportsConnect and play 10 games first.

Pretty lame, SCEA.

14 days?? Damn..

 

[kIdMuScLe]

is there a spot for me to join or is this closed already?

 

[Cloudy]

Off to buy both games (2k8 on 360) before work

 

[scar]

Zep, thanks for having me in the league. Just got my laptop back yesterday so I'm a little behind. Found your webpage for the league...looks great. Any requirements you need of me? Looking forward to participating.

 

[Ramirez]

I got the game, anyone wanna run a scrimmage online in a bit? I'm fresh meat!

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I got the game, anyone wanna run a scrimmage online in a bit? I'm fresh meat!

I would if I could log on. Anyone know what is up with the servers?

 

[Matrix]

Do you still have to meet in a game lobby like past versions to add someone to your buddy list?

 

[Ramirez]

I didn't play last years, but I don't think so Matrix, I just sent you an buddy invite from the buddy list. Accept it and let's play.

 

[CB3]

Do you still have to meet in a game lobby like past versions to add someone to your buddy list?

I remember that shit :lol

 

[Ramirez]

Damn good game Matrix! My god I felt like a retard swining at those curveballs about 2 hours early.

Sizemore for president!

I'm excited for the league, I'm 2 for 2 for lag free games.

 

[Matrix]

It really was a good game and my bullpen was exposed :lol

I also hate lefties,damn Berkman having to bat right

Dont feel bad about the curveballs,those were coming in after throwing 95 mph fastballs.Roy O made two mistakes all game.I gave you a fastball that had no movement and the 2nd hr came off lowest slowest changeup I have ever thown ...dude was tired

Sizemore = Hillary Clinton.... he's a bitch!

:lol That shit was so annoying CB,glad that its fixed.I guess I'll send buddy invites out to eveyone tomorrow.

[Zep]

League is canceled.

Blame Ramirez

 

[Ramirez]

2K8 is still better. :lol :lol

"Can't believe he threw that pitch, lulz."

 

[Zep]

:lol

I hate you

 

[Matrix]

Jesus I just played some random guy and my god the lag was ten times worse than anything from last year and this is after I had a pretty great lag free game with Ram.

Must have been his connection :\

 

[Matrix]

wtf was that Konex :lol

You threw like 50 pass balls cause you throw like Dm...wild thing.

And you dont know how to tag up,that was your W and you gave me it :lol

Also that game was laggy,this better get fixed.

PS...Rivera threw awful

 

[Zep]

how did konex lose? wasnt he winning 9-6?

 

[Matrix]

I cant even explain some of the mental mistakes Konex did,a lot of passed balls,not tagging up both runners and he forget to step on home for a out and let me tie the game 6-6 :lol

He was up either 6-3 or 6-2 when I mounted my rally.He never had 9 runs,I won 9-6.

He deserved to win,but I wasnt going to give him the W cause he cant throw the ball in the strikezone or forgets the controls.

He might have been having more lag than me though,I have no clue.It didnt hurt his hitting

 

[Zep]

ah ok...

Me and Ramirez had a close one also...



Sike no we didn't 8-1 ass whoopin

 

[Matrix]

oh noes

Im going to lose a lot this year.....

the Stros pitching is awful,MIG CAN HAVE THEM

 

[Cloudy]

Ugh, maybe I should read the manual

 

[Zep]

Matrix you up for another game? I wanna try Moyer out
