That's going to be a tough find as it was several years ago, but I remember them saying it too, FWIW (or, at the very least, it was relayed through the community day guys, probably nem himself).

In theory it is emulating a hitter's swing path. You can self test it. Leave the PCI in neutral and purposely swing early and late and the feedback will show travel up and down accordingly.

Holy ****, dude! And I thought I had a problem!


I figure I've spent about 400 hrs with The Show 16 between a run through Conquest, franchise games played in both a Cubs and Angels franchise, simming years in various other test franchises, and RttS.

I had a PS4 to catch up on some exclusives, but mainly to play The Show. In the end I had to sell it just because it didn't really make sense to have two systems.

But man, reading these threads every year makes me jealous.

That is not including Spring Training and the multitude of Minor League games I have played. Nor does this include my RTTS careers, of which I have 3 and one of those is in his 6th year. So I guess if your play a game that much it kind of sticks in your head, you know.

Based on my rough (and probably inaccurate) math, you'd have to average around 3.75 hours a day to reach 970 hours at this point in the year. Which if accurate, is very impressive.

(Unless those four years are spread out among multiple carryover versions of the game, in which case who knows.)

Seems a little low honestly. I have played The Show and The Witcher pretty much exclusively this year.

I would say on avg. I probably put about 5/6 hours of Baseball in on a good day and yes I do play The Show every day. On a day where I really have nothing to do it can climb drastically. Like today. I woke up at 5:30 am walked my dogs, went to the gym and the grocery store. Was home by 9am. Started playing The Show. Right now it is 4:30 and I have stopped playing to walk the dogs and eat lunch and I am getting ready to start another game. So today I have already logged about 6 hours. Snow storm coming and not working until Tuesday so between now and then I will probably avg 8-10 hours a day.

I hear ya. I usually wake up early to get in an hour of The Show before work every morning. Gets me relaxed and ready for the long commute.

Wow, I wish I had that much time to play video games still. So jealous. Haha.
