That was so embarrassing. I can't believe a had a no hitter going into the 7th only to end up losing the game. I feel like I just got raped. It was a fun game though. Gotta give you props for coming through.

As it was happening I realized what was going on. It was a foul ball and the ball landed on the "net" or whatever they call what they put in the game. And the game cant go on until its a foul ball, for all the game thinks, the ball was still in the air and therefor in play. But it rolled off eventually and it was called a foul ball. I thought you were just running around trying to make the game go, you weren't controlling the catcher? Well sometimes after a diving play, or attempted wall climb, my players will sometimes continue to do that animation, but never run around like that.

Can someone please give me a class on running the bases! I just lost a game online bc I cant run the bases!

read the manual or the manual in the game itself

I read the manual but I can't get it to work.

The most important concept to grasp is to select the runner you want to control using the left analog stick. I don't think I use the controls EXACTLY right because I'm still not used to using the face buttons when the ball is in play. Normally, I select my lead runner, and just jam on L1 until he's started going toward the last base I want him to go to. Usually, this keeps my trail runner (or batter) from continuing too far...but not always. I'm not sure if this is the control scheme from MVP 2005...or MLB 2K7...but it's one that's stuck with me, and it does work in this game.

Technically, I think the way the manual tells you is to select your runner and then press the face button of the base you want them to run to. For example, if you want a runner to go first to third, you press right on the left analog stick and square.

If you have runners on first and second, and your batter hits a single, and you want your guy on second to score, but the man on first to stop at second, you'd press up on the left analog stick and X. But I don't even think you'd have to control the man on first, because he'd move automatically on contact.

See, there are so many instances where guys will run automatically, there are few times when I even worry about controlling both runners. Stealing 2nd with runners at the corners is one situation, but I explained that a few posts back.

Most of the time, I just make sure my lead runner goes where I want him to go, and let the computer control my trail guy. As long as you're not instructing BOTH runners to do something, and therefore, getting one of them thrown out for doing something stupid, you should be fine.

cdrw123 and PapiChullo...what happened? Why didn't you guys get your game in?

Im ready for week 2. I hope my baserunning improves.

Well my internet troubles should be over now that I finally have a new modem. Talon and I had a good game going into to 4th when my internet dropped me and had to forfeit the game. Anyhow I'm looking forward to next weeks game now that I have a new modem.

Week 2 starts today right?

Haha, let's do it. I've been waiting to have a go at you. I know you've been playing the game awhile, so I'm curious to find out how good I actually am.

When would you like to play? I'm available most times today (Sunday), Monday, or later on Friday. I'm EST zone.

Send him a PM in case for whatever reason he doesn't check this thread. If he doesn't play his game this week, I'll make an attempt to contact him personally. And if that doesn't work, he'll be dropped from the league, and then we'll get to deal with players having byes just like the first league did.

It's stupid to have to even deal with that though. Unless people are completely bipolar, you think they'd know whether they'd like to play in a league or not. It shouldn't be a difficult question. Hopefully this won't be the case though.
