Yeah, it's great to see how well they're doing in r/l, but in my season in The Show they have the worst record in the AL.

The wheels are starting to fly off my Tribe season. I just got swept in a four-game series at Baltimore. I'm 32-45. It's weird how often you win games (or series) you don't think you will and lose when you think you'll win. Recently I swept the Tigers and won two out of three at the Yankees, but als...

I had my third freeze the other day. 77 games in to my season, I've had to replay three of them.

One thing I am not seeing that I have in year's past is HRs, especially by my team. The Cubs blow, no doubt, but I have 2 HRs in 13 games, both with Soto. Not really giving up very many either. What about you guys? I checked last night I have 76 thru 69 games which is good for 10th in the majors. S...

BTW, you know you've spent WAY too much time playing The Show when you're at the ballpark watching the game in person, the batter takes a hefty rip at a fastball, just catches a piece of it, fouls it straight back and you're looking for the little window to pop up saying, "Contact: Just Missed. Timi...

4 road to the show seasons in and the game decides to freeze every game. Sold it. I'm 54 games in to my season (23-31, Tribe on AS) and twice the game froze while trying to save at the end of a game. Kinda frustrating. But the good thing is both games were originally losses, and when I replayed the...

I still haven't thawed out yet from sitting through all 16 innings of the opener.

btw: who have your key offense players been? Sizemore rebound? Sizemore strikes out too much, just like R/L. Brantley, Choo and Santana are all hitting well. And Kipnis was hitting almost .400 until he got hurt (60-day DL). But Travis Hafner's been a BEAST! .350, 10 HRs, 25 RBI through 26 games. Ap...

Plus, in my The Show season, Fausto Carmona is STILL Fausto Carmona and is pitching quite well. ok kewl. Didn't know MLB 12 had an arcade mode Lol. I'm surprised how well he's pitched for me. In fact, my whole rotation has been the bizarro rotation so far. The two guys at the top of the rotation wh...

Anyone else start a franchise yet? What settings are you using, how is your team doing, what moves have you made? I started my Tribe season the day I bought the game. I'm 10-16 so far. All Star, default, timing hitting, classic pitching. I'm not a real stickler for perfectly accurate rosters. The w...

Both games the stands are clearing out by the 7th inning.. another cool thing about The Show... and my skills suck. ;) I didn't realize the fans will starting heading home early in a blow out. Is that new? No, that's not new. As a Tribe fan who regularly loses 100 games every year in The Show, I've...

Apparently the Browns are cool with 4-12.

One thing I was not sure about: Lincecum staying in to throw 130 pitches in a blowout. The game was 3-1 early, so it's not like the shutout was in question. Maybe the pitchers stay in if you're not hitting them well, regardless of the score? I think so. I had a similar situation last night, I could...

Hell I walk a ton of guys with just the classic pitching. No meter, no pulse, no analog. Yeah, I walk a lot of guys with classic pitching, too. My closer even walked in the winning run in one game (a walk-off walk). I was p*ssed! I'm 5-6 in my Tribe season so far. Last year I had a hard time figuri...

Just the way the views change during the game on broadcast is a thing of beauty and playing a night game as the sun sets in Anaheim was surreal. Yeah, I think that's part of what helps keep the game so fresh over the course of a 162-game season, the atmosphere. They do an AWESOME job in that depart...

Yes.

I awoke at 4:30 this morning to go to the bathroom and for a few seconds I thought about going downstairs to play a game....that's a sign of a great game. That's funny, the same thing happened to me, except it was my dog that woke me up at 5:30 to let him out and I took it one step further and actu...

Forget the double play, I like the chick walking by in the stands at 1:18.

Happy The Show Day everybody!!!

In hindsight, maybe it's a blessing that TimeWarner and MSG still are in a pissing match over rights fees and I can only see the Knicks on TNT, NBA TV and ESPN. Watching every game of this team would raise my blood pressure 15 points.

Funny how fast that dispute got settled.

I don't know, I think a lot of Cavs fans will have some interest in that game, with or without Jeremy Lin.

Is it possible to pass over a defender to a wide open teammate? If so, how?

Just be grateful you have a wide open teammate to pass to. I still haven't figured out how to control players without the ball. It's a gamekiller to me. (PS3 version)

Back in the day, maybe, if that's your thing. But they've cleaned up Times Square, turned it into a tourist trap.

Well that's good to hear that it gets better when NBA Today kicks in. I've never played this NBA2K series before, so I wouldn't know. I'm talking about the generic commentary that repeats itself every game that we're hearing now. If you're a Cavs fan trying to do a season, it's just BRUTAL. They spe...

You're probably right. It's gotta be something on my end since I'm the only one having these issues. Maybe Santa will bring me a new controller.

GT5, even though it came out late last year I've easily spent more time with it this year than any other game.
