Padres67 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Because I dont have a life I just completed a 64 team classic tournament against the cpu-using the teams that made it to the world series and 11 teams that were great teams that didnt I played a single elimination tourney along the lines of the ncaa bb-the great teams that were included that didnt make the world series were 64 orioles,61 tigers,70 twins,69 braves,78 red sox,80 astros,86 angels,94 expos, 41 red sox, 77 royals,and 74 rangers. The final 4 were the 29 A's, 75 Reds, 55 Dodgers, and the 94 Expos-who may have made it that year if not for the strike-probably there best year ever. Place your guesses as to which of the 4 teams won. I will post the scores of the final 4 results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qphase Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I'll go for the 29 A's, old-time teams all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfan616 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 My vote goes to the Big Red Machine of '75....that was a helluva team with Morgan, Rose, Perez, Bench, Concepcion, Foster, Jack Billingham, Pat Darcy, Rawley Eastwick, Ken Griffey Sr., just a great team all around. Too bad they beat the Red Sox that year, I'm not too happy about that but such is life. :x Later!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spivey11 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 '94 Expos all the way baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 You are getting close-they made it to the championship-so you have one of the teams that made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 don't tell me the dodgers won it... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Thanks for the guesses-here is the results for the 64 classic team tourney The North division final was the 75 Reds defeating the 29 A's 3-2. The Southern Division final was the 55 Dodgers over the 94 Expos 5-4, holding off a late 3 run rally. In the championship it was the 55 Dodgers behind Erskine, Koufax and Bessent defeating the 75 Reds 3-0. The last out was a ground ball to Reese who made a low throw to Hodges just as he did in 1955 for the final out against the Yankees for their only world Series Championship. So after 63 games and probably 30 some hours you have my best team ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capa Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I ran a regular league last year using 30 oldtime teams over the course of 162 games. Guess what? The 55 Dodgers won the whole shebang as well!! Weird, huh?? C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 That is weird-they were a great team. I thought it was ironic that Pee Wee Reese made the last out on a ground out and hodges had to field his low throw just like in 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padres67 Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 absolutely-fun stuff. The '64 Orioles surprised me as did the 94 Expos-making it to the final 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGravyard Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 for the last few years I have Madden Tournaments & Love it. 97 Denver wins most of them. I have best out of 3 games and with classics Im going to have best of 3 at home & at road. It will take some time, but well worth it! If you sim now with Classics seems 1919 Whitesox seems the best.. My only problem with MVP 05 is there seems to be too many Intentional Walks!!! Way to many. no matter who's data file I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 MrGravyard - Try setting the Team Tendencies in MVPEdit. There is one for Intentional Base on Balls (at least I think there is) and if you set it to Zero you will be fine - Unfortunately they only have that capability at the MLB level and not the Minors as would be necessary for all of Total Classics.

danc Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Excuse me for my complete ignorance here but how in the $#ll do you setup such a tournament? I have not found any way to designate teams for a tournament like this one. Can I create custom leagues in 2k5?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 I wrote it out on paper-played all of them in exhibition mode and just kept track of the scores. I just chose the team I wanted to play with I won about 50% of the games. I could have done cpu vs. cpu-but I enjoy playing so I did it that way-I'm sure others would come up with other results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
