VSN Baseball Spring Training Random Thoughts

[hackett]

40 plus games played online....

 

[PP]

Will this be the reason PP quits the league or will it be something else? Haven't heard of online lag being the issue in awhile, but like he said.....

nah just been busy this last week. by the time i get home after work and looking at apartments then eat its time for bed. shouldnt be an issue once I get settled in this week. I am happy that I havent had any lag online so far besides some random stuff here and there.

i get a bit mad when people dont at least give me a little credit for beating them. but its not about who is better. i know your a good player. im not saying u suck or any of that. im saying u played bad in this game. the other game u said the ball was dissapearing so that doesnt count.

so your basing things off of 1 ass whipping. and be real dude. u got your ass kicked and even played like u were getting your ass kicked. im sure u were shocked to have gotten back into that game. after the 6 runs u played like a person who was frustrated

give it a fair shot before u shoot it down...thats all im saying

You want credit for beating me? What is this a east room game? lol No shit you beat me, and played much better than me. That does not mean that I should like the settings. Of course I was frustrated after giving up 6 in the first, who wouldnt be? But I hung in there with Porcello and tried to climb back in. My son said to me "You are getting killed" I responded "Yeah I am, but its way early, gotta try to climb back in". Needless to say I wasnt shocked I got back into the game. I had 9 innings to score 6 runs, it wasnt like it was bottom 9.

Im not sure exactly what you are looking for when it comes to "giving it a fair shot". Never once did I rule it out, never once did I "shoot it down". In fact, my words were "I havent ruled it out yet, but I cant say Im liking it". Then you get all defensive about it as if I said something about your mother.

im also fine with playing on AS. but i think kg will use sliders on AS and im not feeling that at all. that why i want vet hitting to get a real shot.

personally i think default AS will be fine. but everyone is complaining about it and its gonna hurt the league if nobody likes it

nobody except for wtb and the 3 guys i played are even giving it a look....but then again nobody is even playing the game online...or off for that matter

I dont really understand why there is an issue with using sliders. I dont think AS or Vet default is good enough to ignore the sliders. If your issue is that no one else is giving it a look, then talk to them, not me.

Is Sportsconnect up? I'd like to get a game in against one you fools rather than read this message board soap opera.

ok Maynard and the artist formerly known as Virix...get a room already ...I cant see any league of this many gaming vets being played on anything less then AS...I mean come on we'll adjust to the speed eventually so lets stop the pixssing contest and get back to gaming b4 we fuck up a good thing b4 it starts!

I've played 2 or 3 games with vet hitting/as pitching. Its easier to make contact, and for the most part the K's are user related and not the unforgiving as timing issues. Hitting is still a challenge, though. I don't want it to sound like its easy. But I do see more foul balls and weak outs on vet as opposed to k after k after k.

lmao just imagine what the tension will be like when we play games that actually matter!

The next game you play on vet hitting, do not aim for the pitch. Just keep it in the middle and time your swing. See how that works for you.

If you guys are following the show community board, it looks like they are aware of the hitting issues. Maybe something is in the works for the patch.

I will test this.

Same can be said for AS. Just use circle button when you run into 2 strikes.

 

[Virix]

There are more Ks on AS because you have to aim correctly. On Vet, you will make "contact" even when the PCI is not in the correct location. Its exactly like it was in 09.

no i dont need credit from you. but when u come in crying about a 2 run hr and act like it was the reason u lost its kind of make u look like a joke. u also dog the level because of that 1 play. u failed to mention anything else until i called u out for crappy play. you act like leaving the PCI dead center helped you. maybe if you had moved the thing like i did, u would have been successful. And more importantly, if your pitching was at least AA level, then maybe u would have held me in check.

what really pisses me off is the entire game was a waste of time and how i sat there thinking i would give you batting practice and wouldnt try to add more hits or runs....being i knew you were frustrated and i didnt want to run it up out of respect for my opponent when in fact i should have dropped 20 runs on your ass

 

[hackett]

Like I said.... same can be said for AS when you use the circle button.

 

[Rudi]

:rofl: Keep it goin guys this is entertaining.

lmao you are the crybaby. Never did I say it was the reason I lost. I said it shouldnt happen...and it shouldnt. There was one inning that a "cheesed" by not moving PCI, and guess what? 5 runs. You are just making it more and more obvious that you are a joke. I suck, you are awesome... who gives a fuck? I play this game for fun, I dont know about you. IF you can score 20, score 20 mfer. Its my fault if you do.

Newsflash, I was terrible last year and still played. I dont think its a stretch to say I wont be very good this year. You arent hurting my feelings, but for some reason no comments about the things I dislike about vet are ok? Eat a bag of dicks.

 

[hackett]

isn't there a.... ah yes here it is :eatdicks:

 

[BuccaneerFan]

There's even a web page - EAT A BAG OF DICKS!

 

[Maynard]

omg...here is real comedy for you. Virix is saying he couldnt time the pitches on vet hitting because he is used to playing on AS.

Virix has 6 total games - 1 was a disc in the 2nd so that leaves 5 total games. 2 are against me on vet hitting. the others are against godspeed, PP and brotha which i assume were AS.

so those 3 games on AS to 2 games on vet made it so you couldnt time things properly? your hole fucking argument is based on that you fucking immigrant

 

[hackett]

idk, the eat a bag of dicks was pretty funny....
