Anyone else getting a fucking bizarre bug that forces players to attempt to bunt? Just played. Or ran and prince tried buntin instead of swinging in every single at bat. Also happened to five other players at least three times in the game? Anyone read anything like that before?

Was wondering why you were bunting with prince...Ive never had that happen to me though.



Just threw my first ever perfect game and it was with Barry Zitoooooolol.
Good series Eznark

Hahahah, I didn't even know that was a no hitter much less a perfecto. I was just trying to figure out how to make my Idiots swing at all and when that didn't work I was just trying to make it end fast.

Maybe Zito is just so magical that my players were afraid to swing. Nice series!

As much as zito sucks in real life, he is always magical in these games. They make his pitches too strong. Previous seasons his curveball was like impossible to hit and tell where it would land.
Got so nervous there near the end. Never threw a perfect game/no hitter on mlb the show or 2k ever and I usually RTTS as a pitcher.

Dude, congrats!! Just send me a Friend request or PM me on here whenever you're down.

Thanks, you guys! He's a week old now (yesterday) and I can't believe how hectic life has been. All the cliches are true about being up all night, etc... but it's wonderful too, I feel like a different person now. Eznark, I'm going to have to make a picture like you did, but in Royals gear. I think it'll be less susceptible to vandalism, because nobody cares about the Royals.

◼▲, I think things have stabilized around here enough that I'm ready to play whenever. I see you accepted my friend request, so I'll keep an eye out for you tonight or tomorrow.
 
Good game Duane. That first inning of us vs. the lag was insane.

I was surprised I was so successful in base stealing, I decided to play more aggressive and toned down my swinging. Glad I stuck out Betemit a couple times, that asshole hasn't done anything for my Tigers yet! >=|

pistolpete you're killing me. you haven't responded to any of my PMs/PSN messages/anything.

Sorry my dude, been too busy with work, haven't been off all week. I'm thinking I might have to back out of the league for now. My schedule isn't gonna allow me to play my games on time. Sorry guys

Put a bullet in it, this league is dead.
*sigh* once the first two leagues went kaput it's hard to get a league going this late in the year w/o having one completed. Should I look to get a replacement for pistolpete? Or you guys want to quit?

Best of three tournament with the 6 or so people left?

Regardless of how the league works, we're playing a best of seven frank. Gauntlet thrown!!
 
I'm down on finding a replacement or the tourney idea eznark proposed. I just wanna play sum The Show online against real competition.

Yeah, it was just bad timing this year with the PSN outage.

If you can get a replacement quickly fine, but if it takes too long there's no point. I haven't played a series in a while, and I'll get 9 wins because I never played against the vacant teams, not fair to those that have.
 
Okay I should have an answer by Friday... I'm worried though since most of the backups I had earlier aren't responding. It was so important to get the 1st league working because you KNOW those people would come back to the 2nd to add with any newbies. That's why I keep stressing getting games in quick, get that rotation done fast and attract new talent.

I'm tempted by this. How many nights a week would I have to put in a commitment?
For the league? Its a 3 game series and I think Frank said to get it done within 5 days or will be simmed.

* 60 Games over 18 Weeks
* 3 Game Series done in 5 Day Increments
* Top 4 make Playoffs
* Pitching - Hall Of Fame
* Hitting - All-Star
* All Zones Off
* Balks On
* Injuries On
* Fast Play On
* Ejections On
* Each player has an extra series against two people. So you'll play the nine times instead of 6, had to randomize it a few times.
* You must use at least four of your starters in a regular rotation, and no pitchers on 3 days rest unless its' the final two weeks/series of the season. If you forget what starter you used just check the boxscore from the previous game. In the playoffs 3 starters is fine.

A game takes around 30 minutes.
