RAM Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 i'd have to imagine that most of us "older" guys, (even though i too am shocked that there are quite a few of us- like mrgravyard i thought i was the only one here probably) anyway, i imagine most of us have a great love for baseball that draws us to these games (maybe some of us played the game and for whatever reason are kicking ourselves in the *** for stopping), seeking that perfect "one". i remember back in the 80's getting excited as each year the graphics and gameplay got a little better, but there's was always that one little thing that ruined the game. this is as close to perfect as it gets IMO. there's a few quirks that can be ironed out but it's damn close!

stecropper Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 MrGravyard, With Madden that is exactly what I do. Playoffs CPU vs CPU with oldtime teams. I just recently moved from 2002 to 2004 because I found this guy Muscle_Mike from Football Freaks and all his Oldtime Teams/Uniforms/Logos etc. He did a fabulous job and there are many many teams he has done beyond the large number that come with the game. Even tho 2004 didn't have the Playoff Function like 2002 did with the discovery of Muscle_Mike grand work it made the migration to 2004 very worthwide. Here is a link to that site and look on the left side for the Muscle_Mike 20 files: http://football-freaks.com/forums/index.php?act=Downloads Enjoy, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzone Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 yeah the game is great, but the only reason i play baseball is because i have reason to belief that one day i'll get a job working at the IT division of yankee stadium, and i'll get lost one day and find myself on the mound and brian cashman will be in the owner's box crunching some numbers with his assistant. And he'll look down to see this slanky gentleman throw a 32 mph fastball and be completely awestruck. And then Mr. Steinbrenne will come into the office, and he'll scream, "HOLY CRAP BRIAN!! GET THAT KID UP HERE!! DID U SEE THAT 32 MPH FASTBALL!! I...I've NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan20FLA Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Ya its a great game , to bad I havent been able to play since I bought for pc. It chops/stutters so hard when being pitched to , I can't even hit anything barely even for a foul ball. Please anyone? Gunna just uninstall in a few more days, sick of it. I ll never buy an EA product again most likely =/ not that anyone cares, later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
