VSN Baseball Spring Training Random Thoughts

[PepperNY]

I mentioned this in the other thread, but this game is like the deadball era. Everyone ikn the lobbies has a sub .200 AVG, even guys with good records.

Analog, buttons, doesn't matter. There is no balance, nobody can hit.

lol, glad its not just me. I played 3 games last night and went 2-1. I struck out about 40 times with a .198 avg and 2.00 ERA. Won 2-1, 2-0, and lost 6-5. I tried HOF once and was just blown away on every pitch

I picked up my copy yesterday and played a game offline(Mats @ Mets) I was hitting pretty well(Buttons) and I noticed they now have 3 hitting buttons(did they have 3 last year?) Circle was contact, X was normal, and Square was power. I didnt bother pitching as I know I can pitch with buttons(I plan on trying analog pitching...I can not hit analog just cant find the timing and dont have the practice right now to learn it. I will prolly play tom. as tonight if I am able to get any gaming in it will be NCAA to finish my online Dynasty against my cousin. so look for Brotha2ThaNight starting THURSDAY!

GG Townie. that game was funny at times. we both seemed to be making some comical mistakes. but also showed just how hard it is to hit in this game. I swear i was early on everything.

some stats...Dodgers 5 Giants 3
Dodgers struck out 20 times. Giants struck out 14 times. Only consolation is i had 3 walks in the 8th and finally getting a feel. But still hitting is tough.

i dont even know if in the league setup u can force specific settings for each player. i think people are going to have the choice to use analog or whatever. thats gonna be a problem cause there is no way of knowing.

the game wasnt laggy at all. But it seemed to have the usual timing issue with the pitching and hitting

the game also seemed to take a very long time. we wernt playing slow, but i think it took at least an hour and a half

 

[killgod]

Can't force controls nor can we even tell what people are using

Actually with fielding you can tell by the color indicators under the players. They look very different between the two settings.



I'm not too worried about the issues with gameplay, we should be able to correct things with sliders to our preferences.

played a game tonite and like everyone else said very tough to hit. I played on Legend difficulty and I was way behind on everything. I struck out 15 times through 7 innings. Luckily I can pitch better then I can hit and was able to shut down the redsox and I hit back to back HR's in the top of the 9th with Elvis Andrus of all people and Ian Kinsler to win 2-0.

This was just a random online game, not against anyone in the league

Getting this in the mail.... Should be here by the end of the week.

Still waiting.... Fucked this one up. Should have just gone to the store and bought it.

Great battle Maynard!

I got very lucky on a couple of my "guesses" early. I thought I was ON a couple of pitches by Cain. But then they were BY me!

I am still trying to figure out how that run scored without me tagging him at the plate! LOL Then again that high hopper my catcher ran right past it. Classic stuff. Maybe it was me just trying to get used to a new squad.

The Dodgers have some arms. I think Lilly is listed as their #3. He's got some S L O W stuff.

Thanks for NOT playing BURRELL. That guy always has killed me in this game!!!!

I don't know about you, but I did NOT see any lag at all. I agree, game lasted a long time. Need to get it on FAST PLAY.

Let's battle again real soon.
