Support NeoGAF

[Sanjuro]

In a couple days, the greatest* baseball game of all time will be released and we can finally start getting into serious debates of things such as,

Will we use custom rosters?

and

Will we use custom rosters and will this league make it to June?

Right now we are keeping things pretty simple. No teams are guaranteed, we don't know how many people we are going with, and I'm not entirely positive this game even has online multiplayer!

So, show interest. Declare the team you are interested in and let's see how we can crash and burn like it's 2014!

[S1lent]

Would be interested in taking the Mariners...

 

[pistolpete2940]

I'll take the Yanks but if DCX wants them he can have them. He deferred them to me last time.

In with the Bronx Bombers.

DCX

Didn't even see you there, I'll just see who's available at the end then.

 

[Lrrr]

I'll take the Mets.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

I'll take the Braves

 

[rinse82]

[Dmncnby2k9]

Os taken too? damn, Rays it is.

 

[BigJonsson]

Jays.....doh!


Uhhh, Angels available?

I want the Trout

 

[v1lla21]

Giants!

So how will it work? Do we make a league and then set up dates on when to play or is more of a manager mode kind of thing where you manage a team and make the team play against each other. I haven't played The Show since 07. lol.

 

[MickeyPhree]

EDIT: Tampa got taken.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Any team

 

[JABEE]

Give me the Phillies!

 

[DoctorZ]

Cubs. If OSFM is used, they won't suck too hard.

 

[oatmeal]

How many games do you guys play in this? I joined the Madden league and love it, but I ain't got time for 100+ games.

If it's manageable, I'll take whatever is left.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Ugh. This fucking guy. Here I figured no one was going to want our awful team. Oh well. My work schedule probably makes it hard for me to partake in a league anyway. PEACE.

I'm trading Stanton to the Dodgers and Fernandez to the Yankees for pennies on the dollar

Their homes 2-3 years from now

 

[-tetsuo-]

When does it start? If i get a PS4 in time I guess i will take.... sigh.... the Astros ; ;

Bryan Wiedey ‏@pastapadre 42s
Early reports regarding online play in PS4's MLB 14: The Show makes it sound no better than the disastrous online in the PS3 version.

Enjoy!

 

[McNei1y]

We'll leave that to the fan to decide.

 

[ph33nix]

Well that's another year that Frankman unsuccessfully runs a league.

I sure hope franchise mode and RTTS are good!

 

[McNei1y]

Let's at least give a test league a whirl.

 

[CB3]

You guys are the living MLB Cycle. It overcame the Sonic cycle.


10 months from now Bob will make a post about how the online infrastructure was redone and everything will be ok this year. And it'll all go 'round and round again.

 

[McNei1y]

At least we have NHL 4 months from now!

 

[CB3]

At least we have NHL 4 months from now!

Dota is the new NHL

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Damn why can't anybody make a playable online sports game other than EA!

 

[JABEE]

Dammit

 

[Ferny]

[McNei1y]

How can Mister McNeily be a bash brother in DOTA?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Enjoy!

 

[Ferny]

CB always has to bring the party down.

 

[CB3]

CB always has to bring the party down.

I havent made a game with shitty online play for years, tricking people into thinking it might be improved the next time around. Dont blame me!

 

[ph33nix]

Maybe home run derby still works

Maybe home run derby still works

It worked fine for us that one time. We have to do that again.

ANSWER MEEEEE

we finished 1 season last year. we had a 17 game schedule. it basically mirrored an NFL schedule. and actually, for all the shit MLB rightfully gets, i really enjoyed the season. i didn't have any issues playing the games, there was lag here and there but nothing game breaking. the problem came in that sometimes the results didn't record. *I* personally never had my results not record but others did.

really enjoyed last years league. i had some intense games but then i got fucking donged on by dmnycb or whatever his username was in the playoffs. i got swept by the mets
