All right, sounds good. I'll add you to the list.

bumping this because I'd like to move on to the next step soon if we can get all our guys confirmed.

You can add XMattYoungX as my PSN tag. I set it up on standard def.

Im sending my ps3 in for repair so i may not be able to make it
hopefully it is a quick turnaround im just waiting on the coffin

n8- I responded to you pm but I'm confirming in the thread too.

I'm going to try to play one more online game and see how it runs for me. It didn't go so good the first time around.

I'm about half tempted to get this game to try to get some dignity back after last year's league, heh.

Not good. I was swinging at air and balls were just flying out of the park. I haven't played another one since then, for some reason I'm having a hard time getting a game.

Yeah I was trying to swing at balls with correct timing and it kept saying I was way too early on the swing feedback. Then I started swinging way late and was getting hits.

Room to join league? Would have asked earlier, but my wifi wasn't working for a while. New router and its fine now.

Well, it looks like we've got a couple guys who are uncertain right now. PureApathy is still sorting out his connection, MattYoung is still sorting out his TV, m_d_amore's PS3 is broken, and I never got confirmation from archibishopthedoge. I'm really not sure what to do about all this other than push back the start of the league about another week. I'm open to suggestions though.

my coffin should be here on monday hopefully ill have my baby back by the following monday

If that card comes today, Monday, or Tuesday, I will have the TV by the 17th.

I've found that playing with classic 1/4 guess pitch is a big help. Just my opinion.

They're talking about online lag though. Making hitting easier for everybody won't really solve the problem.

I guess I'm just lucky, in that thus far, the lag hasnt been that bad for me. Nowhere near as bad as last year.

Same here. *knock on wood* Honestly, I've had to almost pinch myself because it hasn't felt any different than playing offline. I feel like I'm dreaming.

I played a few games today online, horrible horrible lag. Which was weird because the first 5 I played were glorious. I can say one thing, I'm sick of playing the Red Sox and Yankees all the time.. last year people would pick mediocre teams and it was much more fun. All the Red Sox guys do is bury fastballs down and in with Beckett and its ridiculous. So annoying.

Honestly, I've been finding playing with randoms on PS3 even less enjoyable than playing with people on Xbox Live. Live gets such a bad rap for being filled with douchebags, but almost every game I've played of The Show I get some asshole rushing his pitches (I thought they were supposed to have fixed that this year?)

And last night, it was beyond the point of not giving me a chance to get any sort of lead with my runner. It was like the guy was making a conscious effort to keep me from even having time to guess the pitch. It felt like I was struggling the entire game against somebody trying to cheat me, and by the time we got to the 5th inning, I found myself not having fun and just wishing the game would be over (the score was 0-0). I ended up winning 2-1, but I don't enjoy the game when people play like that...which seems to be mostly what I run into online.

As far as the Yankees/Red Sox issue, I'm a Yankee fan. I've been a Yankee fan for 25 years. I get tired of having to choose teams I don't care about just to find someone who will play me. I think it's ridiculous that people are STILL afraid to play the Yankees online. Honestly, their pitching isn't that great, and their defense is TERRIBLE. They are VERY beatable if you know how to pitch. I really hope everybody here gets their stuff sorted out soon. I want to get this league started so I can actually play the game more.

Don't worry, The Show will never be as cheap as MLB 2K7 and it's unhittable eephus pitch Casey Fossum haha.
