    Re: Frustrating moments of the show

    Things that frustrates me.

    Umpires not calling pitches correctly. Happens way too often.

    Pitching is very inconsistent. Very hard to paint the corners in this game. I know they wanted it more hitter friendly. But I feel like some of the art of pitching has been lost.

    People online tapping the bunt button trying to distract me. It doesn't, but I think it's lame

    Third base errors. Runners slowing rounding third.

    When you have a guy in the warning track thinking you have a pop up and the ball hits right above his head and magically lands in the glove. Not an out, but just a weird glitch I hate. For one I wish I knew I needed to jump, the red light isn't even on. And two the ball isn't going to hit the wall and just land in my glove every time.

      It seems like the down and away portion of the zone to righties is hard to get strike calls. There was one game I was in a jam and I threw a perfect pitch in this spot and the ump wouldn't call it. The entire ball was in the strike zone. I had to stop throwing it there and I gave up a rally. It has happened several times.

          I have discovered, if I am sleepy, in a bad mood, or have just gotten home from work, I should not even bother to play the game. I end up frustrated everytime, because I have no patience and swing at everything that comes my way.

            Try G'Mos custom cam if you're having hitting problems. I hit 4 hrs last night the first game I tried it.

            Sadly I blew another save with Glenn Perkins. Up 8 to 7 with De Aza on 2nd. Kepingger hit a 2 run hr to take the lead.

            A few days ago I was down 2 to 8 In the 5th inning. I scored 8 runs and took a 10 to 8 lead into the top of the ninth. I put Perkins in to close out the game and I gave up 3 runs.

            I'm pretty frustrated with my pitching at the moment.

              I can't believe I have done this more than once... four times to be exact. Hitting a batter with an 0-2 count, usually with a curveball or slider. One time the bases were loaded with 2 outs, I about lost my fracking mind.

                Also they have put too much into pitchers being wild. I've started many off speed pitches down and in and thrown them perfectly just to have them to go flying up and in or just anywhere really.

                And pitchers get hits too often. If it isn't on the corner and you use the power button you can get a base hit almost once a game.

                  Fastballs up in the zone.

                  Curveballs and change ups down in the zone.

                    Down 8-1 in my Astros franchise to Cleveland last night and I come storming back to tie it. Then in the bottom of the 8th I hit a two run bomb, bring in Brian Wilson for the save. Two quick strikeouts, a bloop and a blast later we're ties at 10. I lose in 12 after blowing scoring chances in the 10th and 11th!

                      I'm so pissed right now. I just got done with the most frustrating game of The Show I have ever had to deal with in all my years of playing the Show. I was the Braves against the Phillies and lost 8-1. That's not the frustrating part. The frustrating part was I gave up 14 hits and had only 4 for my team. But here's the real kicker. I gave up 14 hits but had 16 strikeouts with my pitchers. I had only 4 hits for my team even though I only struckout 4 times against Halladay. Every ball the Phillies hit was hit right on the screws and nowhere near my defense. But every ball I put in play (save for about 4) was a weak pop up or ground ball right at someone. And when I did hit the ball hard it was boom right at a Phillies defender. It just really pissed me off.

                        VERY frustrated.
                        In my AAA Louisville Bats dynasty we hosted the division leader Columbus Clippers. Carlos Carrasco, who has a ERA of 6.78 pitches a 2 hit, complete game shutout. To add salt to the womb, my bullpen implodes in the 9th, after we were already down 2-0 with no chance of cracking the case on Mr. Walter Johnson on the mound, and we end up losing 4-0 at home. Only 11 games left in the season, leading the wild card by 3 games and 2nd place in the division to Columbus by 5.

                            The comeback code strikes again this year, it's happens way too often to not to be a comeback. The new timing window has messed my swing all up.

                              On more than one occasion I've had a runner on third & no outs & didn't wind up scoring, Next time I'm going with a suicide squeeze & see if I have better luck.

                                My most frustrating moment in 13 was playing a franchise to hold me til OSFM. Finally started being able to rad pitches, drew 3 walks in 5 innings. Was winning 3-1 vs the MAriners as the A's. Then my PS3 got the YLOD. Game is trapped in a phat PS3 brick.
