How is the bug link broken?

I did, I played a quick game with the Giants against the Royals and won 3-0, Baumgardner went 8-2/3 innings (1-hit ball and 15Ks!!!), before back-to-back walks caused Boch to come get him.

Casilla came in and shut the door on 3-straight pitches. It was glorious.

What was I supposed to see with Madison?

They got his haircut in the game after all.
(but not his shave, which probably doesn't matter because I saw some spring training recaps recently and it looks like he is growing a beard again)

Simply amazing. Kudos to SDS for yet another amazing iteration of the greatest baseball game ever. And this year solidly claims that again.

I marvel as I play. I find myself taking screenshots so dang often. Frankly, I'm very grateful to be able to play such a great game, just love it. SRS

I'm NOT a nit-picker, but I'd be curious to know how often 3rd strikes are dropped in real life, vs. how often it happens in this game. Cause it sure SEEMS like it happens a lot. Like, a WHOLE lot. LOL

Just wanted to pop in and say how much I love the game.
Started digging into it finally last night around 8.
Planned to just get my SOTS in (which I did mostly get done-I only do vendor sounds, organ music and HR's) and then I messed with DD a bit.

6 hours later and with only 4 hours left before I had to get to work I finally shut it down.

Another great game that I can not wait to get deep into the next few days off from work.
For what it's worth I had no stuttering in the limited time I actually played.

Where do you get vendor sounds, Youtube?

# 208 Chai2112 @ 03/30/16 02:56 PM

Haha, I just saw Ramone in the game. I hit a home at Dodgers stadium with Kendrick, and there was a cut scene to some dude in the stand holding up a sign, and a guy cheering next to him, who was clearly Ramone. Awesome.

A few years back another OS use (Jim) and I made a big pack of sounds (Organs, vendors, Ump jeers and misc sounds) with a lot from older games like High Heat, Hardball etc...

I still have them and they are still uploaded (well they were a few weeks ago so assuming the sill are).
Even though I also did player walkups I am not that much into those in game anymore.
I do love the organ, vendor etc.. sounds though. Adds to the game for me.

Am I crazy, or is Dynamic Difficulty not changing? After about 15 RTTS games where I've been tearing the cover off the ball, it is still on Rookie.

# 211 Chai2112 @ 03/30/16 03:11 PM

Well I just finished my first full game, and I was one out away from a perfect game. On the last batter, he hit a grounder to my third baseman, who made an error. On the next play, he got thrown out trying to steal. So I still got the no hitter, but no perfect game. I had 16 Ks and 0 BBs with Kershaw. I have never ever gotten a no hitter before, and I've been playing The Show since 2006. Looks like I will need some serious slider adjustments to make this more realistic. Was fun though!

# 212 Pelli16 @ 03/30/16 03:11 PM

First impressions, I am Very disappointed in the Pirates uniforms and PNC Park. The Pirates alternates jerseys are still grey instead of black and the blue lights located on the Rotunda in left field have been removed with the exception of one on the inside of it. I am not sure why they would remove lighting that was correct. Additionally the player's hair looks like it's from last gen.

Awesome, thanks.

If anyone is interested, I created a file of 50 random at bat intros and some 9th inning, caught stealing, etc sounds. These are not linked to any specific players but it's a nice mix of fun music you can use...already pre cut and ready to go!

The being credited with only a single when someone is thrown out at the plate on a double (or triple) is back...

# 216 decga @ 03/30/16 03:49 PM

Finally fired up the game last night. I love the intro! Nice! The game plays the same, so no learning curve. Very Well... I did not like the (Timing hitting interface) being remove. The bugaboo in the room for me is the Carryover save feature. I hope they can resolved it soon. Also it is no fun redoing all my edits either. Overall I love the game. Hey I am a "Show guy" after all!

What level were you playing on and pitchstyle? /meter, analog? Congrats

16 K's, no walks and no hits with Kershaw? Sounds realistic enough to me. Now, if you'd done that with the corpse of Jered Weaver, then we'd need to talk.

Went out and bought a physical copy today. Got home, plugged in my Armor inspired settings and sliders, blink my eyes and 4 hours have passed.

This game is amazing.

Freaking amazing.

Ultimate sim sports video game experience

I will say the one game I was able to play online was serviceable and played decently. There's big upside for the online stuff once they figure out how to break loose the bottle neck that is plaguing it. They had the same server side type issues last year if I remember correctly so there is hope.

Load times between menu options is driving me crazy. Needs to be fixed. Also trying to search the logos, rosters, etc. Does not work. It kicks back to menus. Fix it.
