Game 1: - when the player im against guessed the pitch location or type correctly it didn't allow me throw the pitch, it just threw it for me. I really don't like this, hopefully its just a setting he had on I didn't notice, the only time I actually get to pitch is when he didnt guess either the type or location. - i lost 5-2. I can't hit for shit and 1 bad inning gave up 4 runs - NO LAG. Last year, i couldnt play a game without either disconnecting before we start, or mid game for no reason.. And every game had traffic pausing the game throughout all game long. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED IN THIS GAME

game 2: - WOW, guy gets 2 homeruns with his 1st and 3rd batters. killin me, he didnt even guess these pitches at all just put em out. - franky thomas evens it up with a 2 run homer - noticing first bit of lag, makes things seem like they skipped a beat. but its hardly noticable and hasnt effected things at all, your timing stays on. it doesnt pause the play, it just skips a beat on screen, so your timing stays on. great improvement from last year - this game does overate frank thomas, they did last year too. I can hit balls outta the park easy with him, not that im complaining - I now realise that the pitching system with it not allowing you to continue the pitch if the batter guessed right is exactly how it used to be, i just forgot, and i like it again, it makes sense
i found my stroke, after that first inning i found my pitching and batting stroke again and tore up a pretty good player. i won 6-3 and had 10k's with holliday

- mic's work. lame thing is u gotta hit L3 to activate them, so pretty much nobody is going to know that, and you can't tell when its on or off, you just have to talk and if somebody responds than its on, but if u hit l3 by mistake u can turn it off and not notice for a bit. theres no indicator - My pitcher got hurt, mid game he got hurt and i had to sub him out. it was pretty cool - pitcher got kicked outta game for beaming a guy in response to his own teamate getting beamed in inning before - CONNECTION IS GREAT. I've only had 1 really bad game, 1 game that was below average and like 6 games that were perfect connection basically

I'm thinking here are going to be the problems online when players play more.
1. Strike Ratio (I know this is a HUGE issue in all the leagues) 2. Guessing pitch/location (Nearly impossible to get guys out on 4/5 teams) 3. Home Runs

k, well your opinions on those issues may be totally different from anyone elses. so please detail what you mean by each topic. when i see them i see.
strikeout ratio, i've played 8 games online and havent experienced anything unrealistic
guess pitch/location. I bat like .260 with those on and I have allot of guys who can hit the ball around with the jays.
Home runs. Not sure what this means but I havent had any unrealistic amount thus far. Their tough to get unless your getting a fastball with a long ball hitter

K. I will explain them a bit better:) Last years game saw those things bring up huge issues in leagues. I played in 3 leagues last year, and ;those were major problems. See, the Jays are an okay team, but Main:) When I am talking about good teams, I am refering to the top 5 teams in the game. I can pick inside pitch each time, if you throw it outside, i will know...resulting in me pushing away and that will in sense with a good hitter, hitting the ball hard over there. I'm not saying its right, but it just kind of ruins the experience;) if you guyss a inside ball in any level of the sport, VERY few people in the league, VERY few are going to be able to hit it. With the strike ratio, i am refering to the ball/strike ration. When you play in leagues that don't have a rule, you dont' seem to see alot of strikes ( And we all know with the game, that can be quite annoying. Just saying it will be an issue, so things to think about when people are playing on what you would want to see as a rule or no rule. Homeruns, last year in my 3 leagues, the HR ratio per game was 4.7 That means that every game that was played, nearly 5 Hr's were hit. The league leader in the 3 leagues hit over 30 Hrs in 25 games. That is more than 1 a game avg. Just saying, thats hard to put a "rule" on, but that can be solved by playing at a harder level, but in sense, makes it harder to hit.

LOL jays are #5 in the game brother get your facts straight.
if you pick inside pitch you will know its outside? how do you not know its low or high top outside, middle outside, bottom outside. everytime you guess 1 location there is 4 locations you left open AS WELL AS the fact that even tho you picked the location you may not have picked the pitch or the pitch may be thrown to the outside. I'll purposely pick pitches people are expecting and deliberately throw them off the plate to make them swing, just cause they got the pitch or location they wanted doesn't mean its going to be a strike but they'll probably swing cause their so excited to see a pitch they chose coming.
really suprised leagues would put a rule saying theres too many strikes? seems like a rule somebody is putting in just to have a rule. if a guy is throwing alot more strikes to me doesn't that make my life that much easier? also, ball control on pitches this year isn't as easy as last year, theres allot more movement on the ball that you don't expect once you release the pitch that is out of control. last year if you pitched it perfect the ball went exactly where you expected it.
we definitely do want homeruns at a point where its not too much or too little. i agree with that, so we gotta play allot and see what way we can reach that goal.
and the average homeruns per game last season in the majors was 1.045 per team. so thats 2.09 per game ; So if your top team was only hitting 30 on 25 games I'd say you had a pretty accurate league. Please explain how your leader only had 30 in 25 games but your leagues home run ratio is 4.7 that'd mean that at least somebody would have to be hitting over 2.3 homeruns per game which is a hell of allot more than 30 in 25.
anyways, the goal we should want is 1.045 per team, 2.09 per game. Thats what it is in the majors

K main, not sure if you know to read or what;) JK JK.
The strike to ball ration is BALLS being thrown being to high. not strikes.
The guessing, once you play online you will realize there are two major places to guess, inside and outside, i can throw a ball high and it will still register as inside or outside, and if it doesnt, tis down the tube, and will be parked.
Home runs were 30 by the LEAD LEADER. That would be like having a baseball player hit 190 Hrs in a season.

sry i misremembered wat you said about the strikes. We'll deffinately look into this.
who u tellin liq about if i played online? i've played like 12 games online, i know how it works. its 4 directions. if you choose inside, if i pitch up it goes up. not away. think about it, yes you can pick location according to side or corner, and yes it covers a little high in the corners if you choose side, and yes it goes allitle bit into the side if you choose corners. but it doesnt cover the entire area.
if you chose left SIDE and i pitch high and not in a corner, its going to be high not away
as for homeruns i think i addressed that for the ratio per team we'd like to be around
