The check swing feature also gets in the way of some pretty decently timed swings. I'll keep trying :)

I'm a keyboard guy as well. I've been getting better with time, going further and further each time but I still haven't hit one out. I tried with a controller but I just suck with it. I've never liked controllers. I can barely swing properly. (Maybe I should just insist a little bit or watch a tutorial on how to hit or something, but for the time being I'll keep trying with the keyboard) Maybe it's just a timing issue. Or just adjusting from 2K12 to MVP.

2K should pay you instead of some of their employees.

That's pretty much what I do Brainy, but your explanation is far better than mine, thanks. Like Koopto, I'd also like to have other team's players on the DL. But since I don't control those teams, They won't go to the DL and therefor, that team will have something like 24 active players, or less. Any workarounds for this?

Awesome!

You have to go to the rosters menu and then when all those options come up, there should be one saying 'send to the 15 day DL'. And then, after he comes off the 15 day list, you'll be able to put him on the 60day DL.

Hey, it's just about the only thing that hasn't been modded in MVP 05. But if it is online, won't you be able to sign up, or register, wherever you are? The language might be an issue, but hey, everything's possible in the internet. We can only hope, right?

Sometimes I wonder if the White Sox signed Adam Dunn (and I do like this guy) just to mess with the Cubs. Too bad the Cubs don't have a DH slot do put Soriano in. I can imagine the discussions between both Chicago fans: 'Our strikeout machine is a hell of a lot better than yours'

Might have been the pressure of playing in NY. Or the ballpark wasn't suited for his style. Or maybe he just started sucking and at a certain point he wasn't able to get his confidence back. Or maybe he just wants to show the Yankees he's better than we give him credit for. In my opinion he's somewhere in the middle between his NYY years and what he's doing in Pittsburgh this year. I remember a couple of Yankees games last year in which he gave up 'Yankee Stadium' HR's. In any other venue those balls probably would have been easy fly outs, and his ERA woudln't have balooned.

And this...this is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS0GrJoBBzs

Nice!

Agree 100%, the Yankees should have settled earlier on what his role is.

I didn't mean to criticize Joba's weight, I was just emphasizing how big he is. And you're right. Looks got nothing to do with how he performs. And I hope he performs like he's capable.

Please do not mention Zito and the Yankees in the same sentence. Please, let's not give Cashman any more stupid ideas. You never know who's reading...Maybe he roams this forums, you just never know! On a brighter note, Joba is back with the Yankees. If he doesn't become the elite reliever that I think he can become, we can always laugh at the creative and funny new ways he finds to hurt himself. He's both a pitcher and a comedian. If you don't believe me, just look at his body. There's gotta be at least 2 people in there.

Any thoughts about the trade deadline? The Yankees didn't do too bad. They needed someone to give Chavez a rest, so they got McGehee. Fine by me, since his talents are enought for him to be the 3rd 3rd baseman on the roster. I don't think Dempster will be as effective in Texas as he was in Chicago. The new Dodgers owners are really going for it. A lot of activity to show they are alive. The Reds bullpen should be interesting to watch, with Chapman and Broxton.

Looks great! If the cyberface also gives him the ability to suck during clutch moments, you deserve a statue.

Man...that's tough. I haven't followed much so far. I hope she has good parents, that's really all I can say. Kid-athletes mature faster in some ways, and slower in others. It's an unpredictable situation with anyone. In my opinion what's going to determine her fortunes in the future is wheter she has or not a good support system around her. Good parents, comprehensive coaches and friends are the way to go. A lot of young athletes burnout because too much is expected from them, I can only imagine how she must be feeling. I just hope she's feeling bad because she didn't perform well, instead of feeling bad because she let a bunch of people down. It's a hell of a lot easier to recover from a bad performance than it is from what people expected or thought you should do.

I believe somehow you have changed the settings from 'classic pitching' to 'total control pitching'.

The USA, land of the free, home of the brave and a place where everyone sues everyone else. Not criticizing, just stating a fact. Bullies aren't an exclusive of the US, we have them in Portugal too. And in the past few years it seems to have gotten worse. I agree that internet makes people more aware of the victims, but from what I see both with my nephews and students, this new generation is a bunch of spoiled *******, raised by a generation of entitled brats who think they are owed everything and god, allah and the winds forbid that anything bad might happen to their kids. (wow, I'm an angry dude!) I teach and practice Jiu-Jitsu. I find that my students deal better with frustration, loss and even shitty parents after some time in our classes. Sorry, but it just pisses me off to see these kids today act like it's a disaster when something - anything really doesn't go their way. They have no resilience at all. Very little fight in them, and I blame the parents. It's not all of them, but a large majority. When I was a kid, like everyone else I encountered bullies, shitty people and some who were just plain bad. Like everyone else in my generation, I lived htrough it, suffered through it and in the end I both learned and got stronger from it. It's just life. **** gets tough, fight through it, come out stronger on the other side. That's just how humanity evolved! I fought and confronted some bullies. Sometimes I won, a lot of times I lost. In the end I always came out stronger. One of the guys I stood up to, years later told me he respected me ever since that time because I did what kids his age wouldn't. I was about 10, he was about 17. I've read that the Yankees are trying to trade for Chase Headly. I'd prefer Headly playing everyday over A-Rod, but I just don't see this happening. Like Y4L, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping Cashman doesn't do anything stupid. Greinke's agent is obviously very competent. The Marlins were supposed to set the world on fire, and they seem to have started with themselves. Michael Jackson's relatives won't stop bleeding his finances dry even after he's dead. Afterall, that's pretty much all that family has done over the past 40 years. I'd love to sue some of my old highschool teachers. Some of them were so ugly that they've scarred my memory for ever. Don't even get me started on being frustrated as a kid after losing a game or playing poorly. I'd punch walls and cry. Then someone told me that I'd better use that time practicing to get better so the next time I wouldn't have to cry. It was true. It worked, I eventually played that sport professionally for a year.

I'm always rooting for my countrymen, so Correia is my guy in Pittsburgh.

I'm aware of that, and glad that you guys put him to better use than we did.

Thing are looking up for the Pirates this season. Even AJ Burnett has played well. Which to me, as a Yankee's fan is both sad and depressing. Maybe his pitching style just wasn't suited for the Yankee Stadium afterall...

For me, I see that the hot and cold streaks only come in effect after about 25 games.

Go to the audio options, it might just be that that sound is off or on 'broadcast mode' or whatever they call it.. It has happened to me.

I don't even use a controller. Never liked controllers. Keyboard all the way! Even in MLB 2k12.
