JoeRudi26 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 This may be the longest catch I've ever made. Saw Bourne on Sports Center make a decent play on the hill yesterday as well. *edit - Sorry about the sound, I didn't realize it was that bad until I uploaded it here.

MilkmanAnt Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Wow, big-time play JR! Playing MVP I see. I barely had a chance doing that due to me barely playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Wow, big-time play JR! Playing MVP I see. I barely had a chance doing that due to me barely playing there. Yeah, I gave 2K9 everything I had, it just fell apart. It was fine after the patch for 8 or 9 games, and then it just fell apart. 6, 7 errors a game, more glitches than I'd ever seen before the patch, you name it. It was a mess. I've never seen anything like it in my life. But yeah, I had forgotten how solid the gameplay was in MVP. BTW, you say you haven't had a chance to play in Houston often. Do you play as the Yankees? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. Lol, I agree with every single word you said up to the question. Just frustrating. I play with the Yankees a bit, Kansas City. For some reason I just don't use the NL Central lol. I'd love to start a dynasty but I'm always panicking. I'm currently rebuilding my MVP folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm currently rebuilding my MVP folder. Same here. I bought a PS3 last year and tried The Show. That lasted until I realized the sliders meant absolutely nothing, 25 pitch at bats, and just simply repetitive, monotonous game play masked by a very slick presentation. I have no idea about this year's Show, but that was my own experience from the first one. But hey, I'm loving the PS3. 2K9 looked promising, great sounds and presentation, and it was sort of coming together with some slider tweaks. And then BAM. I have no idea what happened. It was like the flood gates opened and they just wouldn't stop. Very, very strange. Downloaded the 08 Mod, KG's newest rosters, an 09 schedule, did some datafile tweaks, slider tweaks, and I have some good, solid baseball for this year's season. If Sony would get thier heads out and venture out to the PC, the baseball gaming market as we all know it would end. Between them and this community, 2K9, EA, and whoever else might as well turn their attention elsewhere. It would be over. I guess we can dream. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah JR, I'm quickly finding that the sliders in The Show do nothing. I've lowered everything for the CPU, and raised all of mine, but it doesn't matter. No matter what type of lead I have, the CPU is always going to put up 3 or 4 runs in the last couple of innings.

Griz891 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 JR....did you try reinstalling 2k9? Wonder if that would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad, teb, such an incredible looking game, and it's obvious the devs went to the limits to make it feel like real baseball. Everything except game play. When are they going to learn? MVP may be outdated, but after playing it again for the last few days, I can't believe how mechanically sound it is. No more holding my breath when the ball is put into play.

JoeRudi26 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 JR....did you try reinstalling 2k9? Wonder if that would help? No, to tell you the truth, I figured it was coming. Just wondered when 'the other shoe was going to drop'. The game looks and sounds great, but it just seems like "work" to be able to get a decent game out of it. It's a mess. As I said earlier, 2K9 or VC should be ashamed of themselves just for accepting money for this nonsense. I'm not sure I've seen a more broke game, in my lifetime, ever put on the shelves. It's too bad too, tywiggins created a piece of software (editor) for the game that I have no doubt was worth more than double the game itself.

xiberger Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 JR, are you considering picking up your '78 Yankees dynasty? I really loved its classic presentation. btw, nice catch at Minute Maid Park. I could use defense like that in my NLDS against the Astros. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually deleted the Yankee Dynasty when I realized there was going to be another PC baseball game. I've already started with the Cubbies again, trying to catch up to the real schedule as we speak.

xiberger Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Nice! With my season nearing its end, it's good to know that yours is about to start again. That way I can get my daily dose of MVP dynasty action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloryforixseal Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 i like it but is your shifter in backwards, did it come that way, i have mine with the bend faceing back and i like that, but yours looks off, may be spin it and you wont need the short shifter right away.
