All 1st round games must be done by the 12th​

Settings to play by:

Difficulty - HOF

Guess Pitch - Off

Strike Zone - On/Off - Its your call here, no matter right now.

Hot/Cold Zone - Off

Presentation - Fast Play On

• Better ranked team is home(if other person needs to host, no big deal)
  
  
• All teams in bold have a first round bye. The only way I could set up a 24man tournament. Names were drawn out of a hat.
  
  
• For each round you advance, you must use another SP. We'll go with a 3-man rotation and you can use anybody you want 2-4 if you advance past the first
  
  
• With regards to pitching, I prefer you attack the zone(like um, most pitchers) and just set a tone. But notice I said "prefer" which means guys batting..stay back and watch some pitches and don't go complaining if you continually swing at bad pitches
  
  
• Stealing - Don't be an asshole and steal with Jorge Posada or Ortiz. If you put Carl Crawford on base, tough shit..They put a new pickoff feature in the game this year, use it
  
  
• Spoiler

  Matrix will not get out of the first round
  
  
• Players battling for their respective teams(Astros, Mariners) these two tournaments will decide who gets the team depending on how far you get in each one. So this is your tryout.
  
  
• If you can't make it to play in this first tournament, no problem. If you can't play the 2nd one...don't expect to play in the league.

Hopefully they finally fixed the netcode. Here's a quote from their community manager:

If our games and other games I played against NYC guys are any indication of how online is this year I think you guys will be pleased.

Everyone participating will be sent a PM.

Thanks Fellas and hopefully this works out.

That's some bs, tryout? :lol

What happened to the best out of 3 head to head like it's been done in the past.

I get to face you using the Pirates and Mig has to face Sanjuro using the Red Sox, that's if Mig will show up.... no pun intended.

I have no clue how good Sanjuro is, but he clearly is using a better team against Mig than you are against me.

 

[Mrbob]

Take the deal and run, Matrix. You are going to get further than Mig in the tourney. Unless you choke a game away!

I still don't understand why Zep is using the Pirates. :x

Yeah well at least you get to play for your team..as usual..you fuck it up for me

:/

 

[Matrix]

Yea it's a deal, but it's kinda fucked up :\

:lol @ Smokey

Maybe I shouldn't have been on GAF since 1999 or so :lol Or born before you. Not sure how I fuck this up for you since Ive been in the leagues way before you popped up on GAF.

Heck yeah, already made it past the first round!

Officially (under this name at least) you've been here one year longer than me, unofficially I've been here just as long as you have. Came over from Blast City (best forum evar) way back in the late 90s when the only way you could view this forum was in that linear style:lol

What is fucked up is I don't even get to play you for them. Didn't get to in Madden either but ok.

 

[BigAT]

Just a fair warning, I likely won't be around at all on the 6th. St. Patrick's Day in Hoboken, which could very well incapacitate me well into the 7th.

[Mrbob]

Wait...something doesn't add up with using the tourney for team selection. With the Mariners at least. You have DM in a first round game, and Blackace has a bye!

How is this going to balance out? You'll have to stick DM in a bye in the second tourney.

Honestly, you might be better with head to head. This could get messy trying to determine who had a better tourney seeding. Baseball is a strange game where you can have an off game and lose if you can't hit for a game. Putting teams on single elimation tourney, while most likely not playing each other, could be a tough fit. It also depends on the matchup you draw too. Like Matrix said, certain people can get tougher draws.

Why didn't you ever play then? You made yourself known to us like a year or two ago which started with only the 2k basketball leagues. It doesn't matter though, you still keep coming across now like I keep stealing your team, which is confusing to me.

We have had vet rules for all leagues for years. I gave up the Rockets to you cause I clearly knew you were a huge basketball fan and much better than me at the game. Yet I still get shit from you, not sure if you're joking or not.

Why should I have to challenge you or give you the team when I have been a constant reliable league vet for a decade? GAF set vet rules years ago. I'm not even sure why I have to fight for the team again with Mig.

That's like FMT giving up his 49ERS or Bob his Bears/Cubs.

Oh shit

Someone just name dropped Blast City

Good.

MLB n00b. Madden is the exception, not the rule for me.

 

[Matrix]

Ok cool, no problem Smokey.

But I'm with Bob and I might pull out of this rigged tourney and Mig can just have the team. I don't think this is cool at all.

Dm also sucks ass at Show or has in the past and he gets fucked as much as Mig. I'm not down with this.

Head to head was fine in the past, why mess with it?

He wouldn't have it any easier playing Blackace head to head..

It's not that big an issue. You pretty much control how the game goes.. Play the game.

[Matrix]

Yea, but the bye for Blackace already gives him a head to head lead against DM for the team, a random pull a name out of a hat that is weak on the internet has basically made Dm have to fight harder for his team.

Dm has to make it past Bob and the Cubs just to get where Blackace is :lol

Dammit, I won't have the game for at least 2-3 weeks and can't go online until 3rd week of March... so much for being to the Mets tourney. :C

Well played, LJ11... well played.

also FREE MRBOB AS COMMISIONER OF THE FOREVER!

 

[DenogginizerOS]

my wife and I have evening plans for Saturday. If I am going to play, it will have to be early in the day Saturday or Sunday.

 

[storybook77]

I am not a fan of having to play the Yankees in the first round. Are there other people interested in the Braves? If not, I don't see the purpose of me playing in this tourney other than to test connections and see who can play.

Also, my wife and I have evening plans for Saturday. If I am going to play, it will have to be early in the day Saturday or Sunday.

I would LOVE to have the Braves but since I'm a newbie in MLB online, I assumed I wouldn't get to play for them so I picked the Rockies instead.

 

[ph33nix]

We're supposed to be able to pick this up today right?

Better be..don't wanna have to make a bronx trip now do I?
