Yeah thinking it over I officially don't care about this anymore. Tell me something is going to be turned off, not turn it off, game is broken without it.

Whatever, can't invest in something that's bull crap.

One less bracket to worry about.

Oh....if not done already:

Change Pinch Hitting to Normal
Change Pinch Running to Normal
Triple check that Sean Burnett is listed as Lefty Specialist and Tommy Hanson is listed as Long Man.

Horrible, horrible in game managing this game has.

Booyah, Grandma. Booyah.

Although I should commend Sean Burnett, my lefty specialist, for coming in in the second inning to face Albert Pujols and pitching 3 1/3 innings allowing just a hit and no runs!

--

Booyah, Grandma. Booyah.

Glad to see my team can hit this season, even if it's just for a game...

Yeah, my lefty specialist came in for 2 innings and faced about an even assortment of lefty and righty hitters

I don't get it

This game is pretty bad with lefty specialists tbqh, as it has been for years.

Of course, so was MVP 05.

Lost on a walk-off.

Seriously, 11 hits to 5 and I lose. Probably cause all five hits were f***ing solo shots.

I've seen it three times, twice against me once in my favor, and all 3 times led to big innings.

No it doesn't. It adds unfairness to a simulator ie the one thing you don't want. You are such a god damn moron.

http://img.imgcake.com/Punny/scenemaybecompletepngre.png

How is it unfair when both teams are just as likely to benefit from it?

You see teams go on turning point swings all the time in real life. It's not perfect, but it's still pretty cool.

--

"I was wrong" - SmartMuffin

No you see pitchers be bad and hitters be good on their own which a sim already calculates for. Adding statistical modifiers in either direction is insane. Having one batter determine the swing of a game is not how baseball works.

To be honest ExTha woulda exploded too


SPOILERS

His game was extended by a couple of innings because of turning point, he really should have won in the 10th.

Oh and for some reason the game didn't give me a turning point.

"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal
"Oh sure, walk to the sun"- Guybrush

I had contemplated doing weeks 4-6 without turning points, then holding a vote.

I played at least 50 pre-season games for comparison and the results were much better with it. Without turning points, games were almost exclusively 2-1 or 9-0. And it's not just a "better team always wins", it's just whoever scores first, as I saw with an all star team against the Astros.

That's probably because, like many sports games, players do not react well to getting their asses kicked, while they can upgrade their "face" ranking with successful performances, even if it's just a bunch of bloop singles.

Actually, the turning point in the 10th didn't kick in until the run scored, tying the game 1-1. KCF didn't score a run after the boost. So that didn't extend his game.

All five games we've used have been pretty horrible for simming.

Though I have expressed my disappointment in this game after Power Pros 08.

--
Chex Warrior (Chex Quest) for CB2011

The problem with this game is that it isn't fun to watch and doesn't feel very sim-like. I feel like the luck factor in this is off-the-charts compared to all the other baseball games that I have played/seen in action
