Re: Your Most Epic Playoff Game/Moment

I should have packed it in. Would have been the smart thing to do. If I had lost a second consecutive WS in Game 7, I may have put away the PS3 forever.

For me the worst part of that game was in...

Re: Your Most Epic Playoff Game/Moment

On The Show 11, after playing a full 162 game season with the White Sox, I ended up losing Game 7 of the World Series to the Rockies. Lost on a suicide squeeze in either the 8th or 9th inning. Man...

Re: Intentional Walks with the Bases Loaded

Yeah, but since it was Prince, as Karros would say, "the winning run was in scoring position when he stepped into the batter's box."

Bold move, Bob. I've never done it, but I can thing back to...

Re: Let's talk balls/strikes (not ratio)

Okay, so it looks like I might have been wrong about the 50%, but in principle the idea is the same. Here is the post from Woodweaver (the lengthy thread from last year was "understanding the strike...

Re: Let's talk balls/strikes (not ratio)

There was a discussion of this in regard to last year's game. Putting aside the variable call function for a moment, let's just focus on the strike zone as it is called in this game, and assume the...

Icon12 Re: Destined to lose?

Oh no, I have to disagree here. Don't you remember that episode from Season 2 of What's Happening when Dwayne practically struck it rich using his football betting system based on which team had the...

Re: Destined to lose?

Honestly, I am surprised this thread is still open. While there has been some relatively insightful commentary from several users, in years past this type of thread was gone in minutes. Moderation of...

Re: Destined to lose?

Last year in a comeback code thread, I posted something similar to what JTommy has written above. Randomness is clearly a part of baseball, or any sport or daily activity for that matter, and that...

Re: Destined to lose?

I think Nomo is pretty close on this assessment. In fact, at some point during the discussion of '11 or '12 Russell or another developer participated in one of those "how to successfully finish...

Re: Stealing bases really shouldn't be this hardl

I have not had a problem using L2 to steal, but like you mention leading off has been problematic for me.

Try double tapping L1, that seems to work for me.

Re: Getting No Hit

Haven't been no-hit yet, but I have been 1-hit twice in '11. Once, Randy Wolf (I know that's just embarrassing--but I could not wait long enough on his curve, I think he had 10 or 11 Ks) took a no...

Re: how the hell do you steal

I'm using a Sony controller and sometimes have to double tap L1 for my lead off, other times a single tap will do it. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out if there is some sort of situational...

Re: Destined to lose?

Hey Bob,
Yeah, I definitely agree about success and failure creating those spillover effects. I didn't mean for my post to exclude those kinds of contagion effects, because I certainly agree that...

Re: Destined to lose?

I think anyone who plays enough games of The Show will experience those times when it feels like nothing is going your way...when you have the pitch timed just right, your batter makes poor contact;...

Re: JUST WON THE WORLD SERIES ON A WALKOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations.

In last year's franchise update thread, I posted the highlight reel of winning game 7 with a walkoff solo shot in the bottom of the 14th with the scored tied 1 - 1. So, I...

Re: Brand new to this Serise and need advice..

I play all 162 games...it's definitely a challenge to find time to do it (staying interested isn't an issue). However, I use season mode, rather than franchise. I am only interested in playing the...

Re: Left Handed Catcher

Well, then, that settles it.

To paraphrase the infamous words of Charles Shackleford: I can throw with my left, I can throw with my right...I'm amphibious.

Re: Left Handed Catcher

To be honest, I can't recall. My assumption is that he was catching right handed, because I can't imagine the proper animations being in the game given that the game won't allow the creation of a...

Re: Left Handed Catcher

This thread has covered most of the issues lefties face in playing the catcher position, but I did have one thing to add in terms of the game.

This happened in MLB 11, so I don't know if it could...

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Definitely a get up and yell moment last night.

Playing in my season as the Orioles, and I'm in the first game of a series at Camden Yards against the Yankees. The Bronx Bombers lived up their...
