Ok, so we all know the feeling. It's a tense game, you're into the last few innings, the palms are getting sweaty, the strike zone is getting bigger and the meat of the bat just keeps on shrinking.
Then, suddenly, BAM. You swing, the screen changes angle, everything goes in slow-motion as the ball thuds off the bat and into the night sky. The hitter begins to strut down the first base line, and you jump into the air, fists pumping, adrenaline running, the game back in your favour.
Well, this is exactly what happened for me in my Mariners chise against the bitter rival Rangers. Down 5-3 with a man at 1st, 2 outs in the 8th, and Miguel Olivo crushes one. Oh, except as the ball is flying over the fence, David Murphy jumps up, launches himself with the wall and plucks the ball from out of a fans waiting glove. So instead of 5-5, it's still 5-3, and there are 3 outs. Never before have I swore at my console, and i'd hope never again.
Is this kind of thing meant to happen? Because if it is, then fair play to the 2k designers, they really had me with that one
