Other Facts
Getting ready to play game 6 and hopefully game 7. Would be such a let down to be up 3-0 in the 8th inning of a pivotal game 5 only to lose the game and series. Those rewards are in my reach. One other thing, I backed out of one game before it even started because I couldn't play. Next time I played it said my rewards may be comprised for quitting unnaturally. Hopefully this won't effect me as I wasn't even trying to cheat the game. I guess if I lose game 6 it wont really matter.

Because you started a MtO game, then backed out of it, you will not get any rewards at the end...even if you do win the World Series.

The devs confirmed this on a thread at The Show Nation - any manipulation to the save file (intentionally or not) will result in the forfeiture of end-game rewards.

I started on rookie just to try it out.

Enjoying it but game is too easy on rookie and found out you can’t increase the difficulty.

May just start over with it on all star

But so far a very fun mode. I have broadcast on and love the presentation.

Thats unfortunate. They should maybe give you one strike next year as accidents do happen. What if your power goes out while your playing? Oh well. Still going to try and win.

I really hope they can update rosters.

Other Facts

I've had no shortage of dramatic moments in this run so far, including this one - 35 power Victor Caratini going deep to walk off vs the Cardinals:



Every single game on Legend is a battle.

[tc020791]

Won game 6 with a 4-2 nail biter, as WSH brought the winning run to the plate in the ninth. It's on to game 7 where I will have to play the full game! First time all mode I've been prompted to play a full game. Not sure if this happens every game 7 or just for the WS.
