So when does this silly contest end?.. I want a patch to come out...

And I guess they arent going to put out a patch untill after this contest ends... so someone win the darn thing already.

Oh, and this post is funny.

roju · 04-13-2012, 05:54 PM

Haha, Best one was "@Ronnie2K Allowed a homerun to the leadoff hitter in the first inning. (https://twitter.com/#!/ZCooley72/sta...92538656931840)"

contest ends at 11

59 on the last day of April, for legal reasons they won't change the game with a patch before then.

I managed to screw up my perfect game entry by pausing the game in the 7th inning... My only solace is that I used Halladay against the Pirates so even though I threw 18 Ks in 82 pitches my score probably wouldn't have made the final 8 anyways.

ronnie 2k: I didn't buy game.........................

jmik58 · 04-15-2012, 02:14 AM

Reminds me of the PS2 days... you can really destroy a controller when it has a cord attached to it. The whip that's generated by holding the cord and slinging the controller to the ground is devastating!

nyyanksrdbest · 04-15-2012, 12:31 PM

People used Jeremy Guthrie?

nyyanksrdbest · 04-15-2012, 12:32 PM

And people decided to face the Diamondbacks? Very strange.
