When the ball was in the air, my stomach fell. I saw my corner AND safety get beat and all I could hope for was what actually happened. I couldn't believe a slight touch by Burchette was what caused Mr. Johnson to drop the ball like that. That was Eli-Manningham x100, except it didn't work for some reason. That was bogus.

I'm still curious in figuring out what happened, just shoot a PM if it's an issue. It is annoying when you make it a point to alter your plans to come home and then have that happen.
Smokey, are you going to be joining the MLB league? Anyone else here getting the game?

I might join mlb if online leagues are good and madden cant continue

Do you even know the rules?
<3
But yea I still don't see how this game is better than League of Legends, or will sell a bajillion copies when it releases.
is it as strict as this league?
No intentional walks
No stealing base with a lead
No... I guess that's really all I know about baseball.
Spectator mode is amazing. If they do built in tournaments that will be incredible as well. It also uses the Steam infrastructure and personally I've grown to prefer the look a whole heck of a lot.
I'm still hopeful that they'll put a Demigod twist on it and create new maps.
I meant, does he know the rules of baseball.
Similar.
Rules I'm putting in for this season are,
No home runs with two strikes. Only at your very last at bat.
Don't manually control the outfielders.
Don't slide into the base. You might injure someone's feelings.
I'll be getting The Show as I do every year...haven't tried the leagues. Seem like it always caves. At the very least I'll get the game though. As pathetic as this sounds are the Astros accounted for?
lol
baseball: one of the most boring sports in the world (tied with soccer), yet one of the best sports games out. how does that work
Also LoL is ran by Riot so DOTA2 already has a big advantage there.
So The Show is good? I tried one of the MLB demos on my 360 and it wasn't that great. I don't really like watching Baseball anymore but playing the games is pretty fun, same with Winning Eleven a few years ago.
I totally don't think anyone new to the game should ever play a Carry, way too much responsibility.
Yeah, any of those.
Learn supports, too. Everyone appreciates good wards.
WR is my most played hero, she's a ranged utility hero/semi-carry. I usually build her as pure utility with not a ton of right click damage, I've been mixing that up lately somewhat.
Vengeful Spirit is one of the best supports in the game right now, she's amazing as a roam/gank support and can really control a lot of the map with vision and her roaming power.
Venomancer is incredible in lane, maybe the best laning support in the game. Build him 1-2-1-1 to 6. Gale + a high damage lane buddy is a first blood for free. Level Gale first.
Crystal Maiden is awesome support too. Her early game roam and gank is good, her attack range is great for harassing enemy melee heroes and her first two skills are good for ganking. Plus, she has her passive mana battery spell for your team.
Or man up and start learning melee heroes.
You're the most boring sport in the world.
yes
WTF
I admit...it's probably because I haven't watched enough of it. I watched the World Cup for the first time when it was on and I was entertained. The flopping make the NBA flops look like amateur hour though.
Baseball is just boring and there's no way around that. I can understand how some can say basektball is boring, but at least in bball you get crap like Griffin taking Perkins manhood or some other insane stuff that you could see on a nightly basis. When I look at baseball I see overweight people getting paid to swing a stick. Carlos Lee also may have contributed to my hate for the sport.
If you played baseball on 360 then you played MLB 2K which is god awful. The Show is on the complete opposite side of the line in terms of quality.
Taking someone yard to win the game is taking each player on the other team's manhood. It gets me pumped up more than anything in sports, slightly higher than buzzer beaters.

URSA!!!!!
What is the equivalent of the Blake Griffin dunk on Perkins in baseball?
Pedro Martinez and Don Zimmer. :lol
There isn't. I'd say the closest thing is robbing a home run but there's nothing really "in your face" about it, except for the fact that they have the ups and the skill/ability to catch the ball over the fence!
Balks, infield fly rule.
Or you mean the MLB commissioner signing off on steriods for oh a good 10-15 years amirite.
Or the All-star game being "worth something" and then running out of pitchers when it went EI and looking all herpy derpy. Joke.
Although Stern did his best Selig impression this season with his veto.
No, I mean the NBA turning into the WWF.
With Brian Cushing on your team, I don't think you want sports to crack down on steroids.
Guess my point being...every other sport has something entertaining about it:
Basketball: Nuts in face, buzzer beater
Football: People getting trucked, hits (or used to be), catches etc
Hockey: Dem fights
Soccer: Footwork
Baseball: Fat men who barely make it to first base or who's stomaches sag below their belts on the mound?
Homers can be exciting...but then you spend 4 hours sitting around waiting for something like that to happen if it even does at all!
Have to have some type of script when the players are actually exerting physical energy instead of sitting on a white square or standing in grass waiting for a ball to potentially come their way.
Fine one to talk with Mr. Braun on your team. Great example for young kids!
If you like refs deciding outcomes of games then you'd definitely have liked the recent Chelsea/Man U game. 3-nil in the 2nd half, two Wayne Rooney penalties given off of dives in the box, and by the 85th minute it's 3-3. If the Premier League cameramen were even close to as good as NFL cameramen I could've better made out the colorful curse words coming from Chelsea fans.
I prefer this build on Veno:
1 - Venomous Gale
2 - Poison Sting
3 - Poison Sting
4 - Plague Ward
5 - Poison Sting
6 - Poison Nova
7 - Poison Sting
8 - Venomous Gale
9 - Venomous Gale
10 - Venomous Gale
11 - Poison Nova
12 - Plague Ward
13 - Plague Ward
14 - Plague Ward
15 - Stats
16 - Poison Nova
17 to 25 - Stats
Poison sting rocks people early on and will do more damage to people in the end compared to if you leveled up gale. Gale is just amazing for its slow, and when you couple that with a couple levels of poison sting, it's pretty much a guaranteed first blood if your laning partner gets one stun off. You just have to be really aggressive early on with him.
Oh come on. Just because the game takes some time to get over with doesn't rule out the fact that there are: walk offs, complete games, perfect games, no hitters, rare team brawls, diving catches, blocking-the-plate events, etc. Those are all exciting to me.
College basketball gets by without going all Vince McMahon. You watch the Jersey Shore of sports. It's cool man, embrace it.
Braun is a shithead cheater and I hope he is traded if he is found guilty. Not much I can do beyond that.
None of these words mean anything to me. Is this even English?
The Asstros being the worst team in baseball history probably contributes to my dislike, and what you mentioned...the time. 4 hours to watch a batter scratch his junk after ever pitch gets rather annoying.
Yet I still buy The Show every year so it's not like I don't try!
:lol :lol
Speaking of Soccer, FIFA definitely grabbed my interest and I have become an Arsenal fan since! Robin Van Persie is so damn cool.
And the beauty of it: there's a game every day! 3-4 hours of my life spent wisely every day of the summer.

I know baseball rules
They're also a really bad team to watch, especially since trading Pence. I love listening to them on the radio though. Milo Hamilton is a God. Nobody could possibly hate the Astros more than Milo Hamilton. It's a thing of beauty.
What does this mean? I'm starting to get attached to Venomancer.
skill order
Skill order. So the one I posted above would be 1-2-2-3-2 etc.
Milo always sounds so dejected when he is brought on to talk about the Astros on sports radio.
Maybe I should find a team and become a lifelonger
I'm going to ask this Virus related question here since I feel like I'd get a good response:
I recently had my computer restart on me a few times but I seemed to fix that issue with a system restore and a Malwarebytes scan... There was one problem that persisted through. My homepage (google.com/ig) isn't working (says 404 error) and whenever I search google, the results redirect me to a website (google only). I've ran spybot as well but nothing. Anyone know whats up?

This might help: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120210194615AA0SUKM
Some people reported that it fixed their problem, some are saying the problem came back. YMMV I guess.
Ah thanks! I just ran it and it seemed to work. If it happens again I might as well run it again but thanks for helping me out!
I'm in Madden for the long term. I don't want to give up Jamie Brooks and Carter Stone has been another amazing first round pick up. Want to see how these two progress!
Sounds like something Giant Bomb would say. Who gives a fuck.
I wish Sony would sell a MLB12 PS3/Vita pack, I'd be all over it!

Nicest "GG, but..." ever?
Once a pitcher comes set, they can't really make any move other than towards home plate unless they're throwing it over to a base. Also applies to stopping mid throw, flinching, etc.
I wish I still had my PS3, I hate watching baseball, but I love(d) playing it.
