Updating to 10 would not be the solution as there are numerous people having more trouble with 10 v 8 v 7. Also, W10 still has plenty of bugs and if one works from home on their PC, many companies do not yet support 10. Being free doesn't necessarily make it preferable at this stage. I have tried it and I do like 10 for other reasons already stated around this site, but for older games, it seems less than compatible right now.

I'm against hipping. I'm against hopping. I'm against Harper.

You just responded to this in another thread and then started a new thread?

Why would I be worried? Don't get you saying that. Yes, I know there is slang in every profession. I've been around... I get it all. I just think Harper isn't going to get his point across talking like some hipster doofus in my opinion.

But "pimp it" isn't a term used by the general public in reference to baseball, so the general public wouldn't get that at all. It only makes it sound like baseball is stepping into the hip hop attitude/presentation that the NBA fell into. So maybe it's "office talk" amongst the players, but everyday, ordinary people wouldn't relate. But it's going to go the direction it's going to go no matter what we say. So, I guess we'll see what trend prevails and then we can have the same discussion in 5-7 years about the state of baseball and how much it's enhanced or how much it's dumbed-down.

Well first off, after watching Bryce Harper from a distance for these last few years, I consider him a big douchebag. Again, you know how appearances can be. Look, no one is doubting his skill. But what he is promoting can lead to all kinds of problems. What happens when a bat flip hits a catcher? What happens when a player doesn't like how the pitcher is staring him down. What happens when one of the IF's dislikes how a player is jawing at them or his pitcher when he's circling the bases? I think what Harper is promoting can set up all kinds of problems. Additionally, it then sets a bad precedent for the lower levels and especially the kids. I think that Harper is promoting this largely because he wants to act this way more openly without getting fined or further demonized by his peers. Unleash Harper, and how many more of his teammates and opponents will want to choke him out? Sorry, but I can't take a guy seriously who acts the way he does with the media and carries himself the way he does about this point. And I especially can't take him seriously when trying to make his point by using the word "pimp" 3 times in the same paragraph! I'm just not ready for Bryce Harper to lead the way.

Must be your operating system. Mine is working on W7. Try enabling admin. privileges.

You need bigGUI.

I think you're going to have to expound on what "learning tendencies" means for the OP.

Doubtful, but regardless, a baseball game should never show where a pitch is going to be. If you're having trouble hitting the ball, initially stay on the lower difficulty level and slow the pitch speed down until you can get used to it. Secondly, split the plate up into 4 quadrants. Before the pitcher goes into his motion, concentrate on the one quadrant where you think the ball will be pitched, if a strike. If the pitch looks like it's going to go there and it's a good count to swing on, swing. Also, know the pitch types of your opponent..... scout your opponent.

If you have any further problems, would roll your vid drivers back to the earliest ones possible.

Were there any changes you made to your PC over time? I'm assuming you've had this installed all along and now you've found that you're unable to play it. Therefore, we can assume that it is a PC change itself. A new video card? A graphics driver maybe?

That's good news then.... best of luck.

I'm starting to feel deja vu all over again.

There's also the same incident with Reyes happening. See....this is why I'm suggesting a more general topic thread. 2 people may want to discuss Chapman, but more people may chime in about general issues in Hot Stove and Off Season areas.

It's not a big deal. I'm suggesting we should have more general news threads. The old days aren't hear any more.

Not really sure why this is worthy of its' own thread. We already have a Yankee news thread. Maybe we should do what Operation Sports does and have stickied Off Season and Hot Stove threads for various news stories.

I'll have MLB level rosters ready for opening day. Then if someone wants to take the rosters from there on, you can have at it. I've already posted my guides on tweaking rosters if anyone wants to use them as well.
