I call fluke

sounds like someone doesn't know how to pitch and work the strike zone. no strategy to their pitch counts...

First post in the topic has all the teams that are taken... The Mets are still left.
Nah it wasn't anyones lack of strikezone working Outcast.It was alot of factors...
-I hadn't played in like 2 days so I was rusty,this resulted in alot of missed pitches.
-Batter contact IS too high and will have to be brought down especially considering the pitch speed will be like 20 on Legend -_-
I probably would have had just as many runs but Konex has a weird habit of completely abandoning throwing any kind of strikes once you get someone on first base :lol Seriously,all I ask is that people not go overboard with the balls,there is absolutely no way to check swing in this game and I gurantee everyone here is looking to swing almost every time,it's hard to have patience in a videogame I know.If there was an actual check swing system that worked this wouldn't be a problem for me.

shadow, the check swing sysytem in mlb 2k5 is a joke. is there technically a check swing system there? yes. but there seems to be NO pressure sensitivity in the control of it. if there is no sensitivity, what's the point? i pretty much have to TAP the button so lightly that i could never have any real intentions of swinging in order to make it work. and if i have no intentions of actually looks for a pitch (which is what i have to do if i wanted to get a check swing off), then why have my finger on the button at all?

League is up, but in order to prevent possible (future) problems, i created THREE leagues. one with 16 players, one with 18 players, one with 20 players. The reason i did this is because i dont know 100% of the people that signed up for the tournament, so god knows if everyone will show. this way, you sign in for all 3 leagues, and if someone flakes on us we are already signed in and i dont have to go about the business of recreating the league, having everyone sign in, etc. don't worry guys, it's not going to KILL you to sign into 3 leagues at the sametime (it takes about 5 seconds to sign in). so, here is the info:
League #1:
*Name: GAF1
*Password: MVP
*Player number: 20
League #2:
*Name: GAF1A
*Password: jgar
*Player number: 18
League #3
*Name: GAF1B
*Password: kbar
*Player number: 16
sign in with the team you selected asap ladies!

Just played a game with FMT, he won 3-1. His infield play was great while A-Rod and Jeter both allowed dribblers to get by them! Bah! Mike "Passed Ball" Mussina doesn't hack it for me!

p.s. i'm starting the league on monday afternoon with the highest version of the 3 leagues that is filled. this is done for the simple fact that if you wanted to be in the league you would have signed in and we are on a 3 day "week advancement" limit, which means if you didn't see me post the league info, you ha ven't been to this thread in 3 days. and if you can't even sign into the thread within 3 days (yes, its the weekend i know) then how can we expect you to play the game (some weeks will invarably fall on the weekend)?

Jobber had called the Braves and the problem is that he hasn't been able to find the game. But he's one of those guys we know will play.

The three league thing confused me a bit. I just kind of skimmed through it.
Fine...
count me in for the Mets.
I'll have rotations posted as soon as I figure out who to use where.
wanted an American league team.... but I'll manage.
I do have a suggestion though.
Why no just have 2 leagues?
One for American league one for National?
I know some people arent too wild about inter-league match ups. Total screws with a line up you like.

I think you are still a little confused by the 3 leagues. FMT set up three leagues because we have had problems with people dropping out of sports game leagues in the past (ESPN NFL, Madden, ESPN NBA) and evenso there seems to be a lot of interest, in order to avoid this he set up three leagues of varying size in order to accomodate those that are actually interested in playing the game. In the league itself, in game, I don't believe that ESPN allows for separate "divisions" or "leagues". Playoffs in ESPN NBA and ESPN NFL 2K5 were determined by whoever were the top 8 or whatever the number of teams in the playoffs were going to be. I don't know if ESPN MLB is different in terms of alignment, however it would own to have two different leagues like you propose and have the winner of the two leagues play a best of seven series.

outcast man, don't ruin my confidence in you ALREADY! you can't read my post above detailing why there are 3 leagues? come on bruvuh!
p.s. be sure you can be available at random cause you never know when your opponent will be available to play. make no mistake, leagues are a big committment. infact, i'd prefer that CK ban anyone who flakes on us... but then again that's why i'm not a mod

Man I just lost a pitchers duel to Konex in the bottom of the 15th. JD DREW THAT SONOFABITCH! Not only did he rob Jeter of at least two hits (over the shoulder catch and a diving grab) but he got the game winning BOMB off of Tanyon Sturtze. I am pumped for this season if all games turn out like this.

i've decided that what i will do regarding rotations is this:
each week i will post @ the league site (which i will have a link to tomorrow afternoon) the scheduled starters for each game. i will also post the date that the round advances. you maybe thinking "3 days i know!" but say we start on march 7th, and everyone finishes their week 1 game by march 8th. guess what? the round advances then. so, the next rounds deadline is march 11th. we're not going to wait the 3 days out if everyone finishes before that, and therefore the dates change. but it will always be 3 days maximum.
to go a little more in detail about the pitching rotations, you must have a 5 man rotation. it will go like this for scoots team:
Game 1: Mulder
Game 2: Morris
Game 3: Carpenter
Game 4: Tavarez
Game 5: Suppan
Game 6: Mulder
Game 7: Morris
etc.
For the playoffs (which are a 7 game series), we will have a shorter rotation. i'm not a baseball diehard, so if some of you guys could help me out with the number of starting pitchers used in a 7 game series (i believe it must be a 3 man rotation?) that would be cool
