Nice. I wish I could see a windup or something. But I got it around .17 - .25 most tries.

[Travis]

Meh, it's like hitting in a cage, good for reaction time and all, but a far stretch as far as they're trying to compare (no windup as stated above, movement, etc).

That said, my top is .1140, though running around .1700 most of the time.

How do i save the photo? I got a .0030, no joke! :eek:

In IE, I hit the PRINT SCREEN key and then pasted into Paint Shop Pro. From there, I cropped the image and uploaded it to my webspace. Hope that's not too technical for you.

I understand that I am printing exactly what my screen looks like just to prove to everyone else that I did really good in a Flash arcade game. I am a loser.

Shoot, I don't have a Photo shop or paint program to print the screen into. Thanks for the help though.

Not only did I do "really good." I did better than everyone else! :p

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that I got a score of '0.0040' right before I decided to check out the rest of the thread. It's called luck in a silly game.

Oh, YOU needed luck. The rest of us are skilled.

I thought it was rather noble to claim that I was lucky in getting a score that was 50x faster than normal human reaction time. http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Point.

It's like Dwight Gooden's dream stadium.

This was my best time, it was part anticipation and a whole lotta luck!

[wig]

I beat you all. I hit the button before the ball was even thrown!

You are the weakest link. Goodbye!

Holy crap. Is that what you're really going with?

Old school, baby. DISMISSED!

Damn I knew I wasted my life trying to play football.

[tucker342]

.0840 is my best

[Karim]

If only it were that easy...

[GoldenEagle]

I couldnt get this to work....

[JeeberD]

You can't get anything to work tonight, can you? :p

[Pyser]

.0180

all luck

[sterlingice]

I'm slower than molases. My best time was 0.1820 but a lot of my times were over 0.3. I always loved facing junk ballers when I played in high school. If you threw it slower than 60, no matter how it was thrown, I could hit it or I knew to take it for a ball, but when I ran across that guy who threw the ugly 70 mph flat fastball that a lot of people teed off against, I had to basically close my eyes (not quite) and swing.

SI

Can you a hit a 90 MPH Fastball?

Yes. I am a baseball god. :D

[rkmsuf]

Where's the bunt button?

[Balldog]

If only it were that easy...

No doubt, I faced a guy in high school that threw 94 mph. There were scouts from the Padres, Mariners, and Yankees at the game. He shut us out, I got lucky and got a curveball to hit but lined out to shortstop. I walked and struck out once as well.

The next year the same school had a kid that threw 90 mph, for some reason I had no problem hitting him and went 3 for 3 but we lost on a walk-off grand slam 6-5 with two outs. Costing us the league championship as well.

[Huckleberry]

Balldog -

The difference between 94 and 90 is immense. Fastballs were never a problem for me, no matter the speed, as long as they weren't moving like crazy. I had more trouble of lefties with control even as a RH batter than RHP that threw in the mid 90s in high school.

[hukarez]

Clearly, I'm not good enough to reach that .1670 score from last night. 1 home run, a couple of base hits...and the rest were all misses.

Exactly. Just like swinging a bat and clicking a mouse.

[Sharpieman]

I hit a HR!
Wouldn't that be a foul ball?

[cody8200]

I got .002!!!!!! I'll post the screen if you want.

Pretty easy, but mostly just a game of luck.
