GG Drizz, just wasn't my game. Figured I was doomed when I got hit with the phantom out at 3rd base on my triple. So many rocket shots to the outfield right at players. Thems the breaks!

Yeah, Matt kemp has a cannon. Surprised me on that one too. I finally broke the ice and won a game! Lincecum deserved it with that RBI. Cano continues to be awful for me.

Any1 interested in trading some lefty relievers? I'm open to trading any of my pitchers not named Lincecum, Quintana, or cishek.

gg bruvuh. my pitcher was garbage and all over the place. i usually try to get a feel for the ball going high or low and then base my pitching location around it but his was changing each inning. that coupled with me having no chance to do anything against darvish and i just concentrated on getting a hit and wrapped it up!

If week 3 (Pirates/Yankees) isn't finished by the time tomorrow comes to an end, I'm going to have to sim that. Likewise with week 5 (Pirates/Cubs) I will give that until Saturday night

After we're through with week 5 and we're onto 6-9 or 7-10, I was thinking of imposing a 12 day deadline to get through the 4th week of whatever cycle we're on

So for example let's say we unlock 6-9 on friday night (july 18) we'll have until july 30 to get done through week 9. and if we get done early, then week 10, 11, etc will have similar deadlines. I figured 12 days was reasonable, that means one game every 3 days

I think this will work and help the league progress....we've been doing well pretty collectively, just seems like some folks have a harder time matching up schedules with others

--Fielder synching issues across two users online now fixed.
--Batter desync when batter calls time.
--Balks on balls in the dirt no longer cause hang.

Hmm. Interesting list of stuff.


--Addressed Strike Zone size on PS4 that cause ball/strike calls to appear very wrong.
--Ball deflected collision on defensive players now consistent on both user screens.
--Fielding decisions and throws are now consistent on both player screens.

Those are the biggie's that I've seen a lot. Here's to hoping for a better experience.

I hope it helps and doesn't break anything else in the game. Ever since we started the new league I haven't really had many problems.

Yes it has! I was surprised when you came back and made our game close yesterday! You were smashing Cliff Lee's changeup

"-Addressed Strike Zone size on PS4 that cause ball/strike calls to appear very wrong."

While I'm glad all of the changes have been made, thank God for this one especially. Even though I "sort of" got used to it after a while, this was bugging the crap out of me. Can't wait to go home and try it out tonight.

GG man I couldn't hit worth a fuck that game. It plays a lot better now though!

Fuck McCutchen
Click to expand...

yeah gg brah. McCLUTCHEN bailed me out! i was going to nerd rage if i lost because of that ridiculous error. i usually dont care about throws that are off target to first but on pop flys in the outfield i dont expect my guys to just drop it while they're waiting for it to come down!

i was trying to work the pitch count early but aside from a couple lucky swings i couldn't get at your pitcher

Lol yeah I was so glad you missed that! I couldn't hit Tim Hudson's old ass either but I thought I was gonna win after I tied it up in the bottom of the 9th. There were a few pitches that I made solid contact with but all of them were either right to your players or at the warning track and then I thought Miggy was about to hit a walk off but he popped it up.

Baserunning and fielding is a lot better now! Seems like the patch worked.

well we finished the game so that is an improvement! i only had one instance in that game that was weird. in the 4th inning or so it showed me as getting a hit to left field and there was a little glitch. i hadn't advanced my runner because i felt immediately on contact it wasn't going to be a hit. the announcer said "and this will be extra bases!" but then the next screen he was out!

So far it has.

Is this like LeBron meeting with Gilbert where you might possibly return to us?

League 2.0 has been running much better. Next year I think we'll have it nailed down as far as structure goes....unless PSN fucks with us again.
