Getting ready to head downtown to see Mark Mulder and the Cardinals take on the Phillies. Nothing like opening day, especially after no hockey season.

Sporting #5 on my jersey, hat and cash.. yep I'm ready to go.

I'm a text sim junkie and although TCY is quite good, this accouncement has me pumped.

If it's anything like TPB, I'll be happy.

I rolled through 20+ games without a freeze after boiling the disk. I took it back to block buster, will buy it soon. School me up. How do you do it? Use a pot big enough to fit the disk, add water, bring water to a boil and drop the disk in for 15 seconds, remove the disk and dry...pop it in to yo...

That does suck.

Hopefully you'll find something.


Todd

Yes, thanks Badgun!

I'll be at the Cardinals opener. Haven't missed one in about 7 years.

Can't wait to see Mulder pitch.

I've never been more excited about a National Championship game than I can recall. It's been a long time since we've actually seen the two best teams in the country go head head in a game of this magnatude. I'll second this! I'm pretty much split in terms of who I'm rooting for. I guess I'd probabl...

Wow, it's been quite a run during interleague play for my Cardinals.

Played the Redsox, Yankees, and now the Bluejays. I'm currently leading the division at 38-25, 3.5 games ahead of the Pirates. Funny thing is, the Bluejays are ahead of the Redsox and Yankees.

I can't wait to hear some impressions. I need to finish Halo 2 (lol) and Brothers in Arms first darn it.

Just so you'll know, I have the strike zone turned on, the hot/cold zones turned on, vibration on, but the cursor turned off. Badgun, There's your problem, I think. Just for the heck of it, play a game with strikezone off, h/c zone (your preference, I have it off - some have it on fade), vibration ...

That's really weird because for the first time in EA history, I didn't have to mess with many sliders at all and I'm quite happy. All outfield and infield speeds -5 CPU Baserunning Speed +5 Human Baserunning Speed +5 This is on All Star and that's all I've tweaked and I've had many different games. ...

Todd, Most of the problems that you mention have nothing to do with actual gameplay. I have had my settings reset to rookie on me several times and it is annoying, but it's also real easy to check before you play a game so that you can fix it if it happens. The only franchise bug that I have heard ...

I really didn't feel like posting something that has been gone over time and time again. MVP fanboys? That's laughable, and quite funny. I hated MVP 2004, the game was no fun, imo. I agree on MLB having great commentary, one thing I quite enjoyed. 1. The game is too slow, imo. Captures the real feel...

Pro is too easy to pitch, imo. Just played a game and the Yankees had 3 hits off me.

All-Star just feels better and after bumping the infielder speed from (-3) to (-5), I'm seeing a tad more hits as well.

Badgun,

I'm glad you like MLB 2006, but imo it's not even in the same league as MVP.

I think the variable stuff really adds to the game, imo. Mulder is NOT always, well.. Mulder. Pujols even has off days. I like this discussion about Pro though. I'm winning here and there ( I do sim some ), but my hitting on AS has become stagnant. My question to all you Pro ballers :) Does the CPU ...

I remember when FPS Baseball and then the HH series would come out, I always did the fantasy draft. It was quite fun that way and at least all the teams were pretty even to start. I just wish a "snake" type draft option was available. When this normal season wears... I think I'll start a new dynasty...

Fresh Bison is very good, imo. Lean and tasty - a much better alternative to hamburger as far as fat goes.

I'm with you on not considering a PSP. The PSP looks very cool and powerful but I really don't have a need for it so I'll be saving the $250 and awaiting the XBOX 2. I'm a sucker and have been VERY pleased with my XBOX so I'll be getting an XBOX 2 at launch. The specs sound great. Hopefully it will...

It reminds Me alot of NHL 96?

I might like this game.


Todd

Bring back Excitebike!

On stealing, move the R thumbstick up twice to get a two step lead. When you want to steal, push the D pad up before the pitch. Don't forget to slide (I go head first usually to the right side of the bag R thumbstick up&right). I usually check the opposing teams catcher arm rating right when the gam...

1. MVP (Xbox) 26-20 and in 1st place by 0.5 games over the Reds. 2. Brothers in Arms (Xbox) intense game 3. OOTP (PC) can't get enought of ootp, and it's baseball time anyway 4. Front Office Football (PC) football is year round for me 5. Fast Break College Basketball (PC) the best college bball text...

I have never seen anything that resembles a ball bouncing off the plate. I don't know where you heard that at, but it's simply not true. I've never seen it either, but even the developers acknowledged it in their thread over at OS, so I guess there's something to it. I've seen it. It does exist. Me...

LOL...I was kidding man. I could care less. In fact, I wish people didn't say they were "my" tweaks. I just wanted the runners to be faster and the fielders to be slower...that's it. LOL I was just being sarcastic db. Damn non sarcastic smiley. Please note, this is version 2.1.7 final sliders from ...

Which is why mine's going on ebay tonight when I get home.
