CAG MLB 10: The Show League Fantasy Teams! MIL/PHI/SD open! Series 6 Games Due 9/6!

well, wildcpac just pitched a no-hitter against me with Kershaw.

the line.. 9 innings, 5 walks, 12 K's, 0 hits, 0 runs, 135 pitches, 76 strikes, 59 balls.

yeah, you threw the changeup for a very high strike ratio, you were 56% with all pitches, 77% with the change. and you didn't come inside with it like I was hoping. good game.
 
I was shocked that you pitched to Kendrick when I got the rbi double because first base was open and the pitcher was due up.
 
Ok, remaining Series 2 games have been resolved. The only game that didn't involve a dropped opponent was between Matt Young and madbst. Since Matt was technically more available, he got the win for this one. I'm hoping both of you make a better showing next week though. I know madbst was out of town for a while, but Matt, I'm sure you know, you're not an easy person to link up with. I'd just like to see more games get played.

Since I actually resolved the games on time, our Series 3 deadline will be next Sunday, 8/1 at 11:59 PM EST.
 
I understand where you're coming from, but I am only difficult to link up with if you're giving me 24 hours' notice or less. If we set a time in advance, I'm usually pretty easy to set up a game with. madnena was gone and then he turned out to have something come up on the day we were scheduled to play, which was the last day before the deadline. It's not his fault that something came up, but there was no lack of effort on my part.

Cpac, you're my week 4 opponent, as I mentioned previously. Evenings, in general, are best for me. As you know, I am on Pacific time, so there's a 3 hour difference. Let me know what your preferred day and time frame is. The game will have to be played before Friday, however, since I will be gone Friday for sure and possibly Saturday as well.
 
After 10 or so? Can you be more specific? I'm not even sure if I can get on in the evening or not. And yes, I did say evenings in general are best for me, before anyone cites that quote. In general, yes, they are, but not always.

But I did post on Sunday night asking about this game (and nearly every day since), and I had posted my entire schedule before that, so it's not my fault cpac waited till the very last day. He's been posting in various other areas of the board, just not here. If I can get a more specific time, I'll play as long as I am around, but I have tentative plans for tonight. I can guarantee availability if we start by 7 Eastern, but after that, I'd say it's unlikely that we can play today. I just don't want to miss a second straight game due to my opponent not being available. I could have played at many times over the past 3-4 days. :whistle2:\

Okay. As long as we start by 7 Eastern, I'm good to go. I will check at 6, though.

Alright, I'll meet you on around 6. Take a minute or two to load up and get into the room.
 
Don't worry about it. Since you weren't clear on whether it'd be 6 or 7, I set up my CAGFC fights (both with the same guy) for about 40 minutes from now, assuming he responds, so I may be on a little past 6. It won't be more than 10-15 minutes and shouldn't even be that unless both fights go the distance, but I wanted to let you know anyway in case I'm not on right at 6:00.
 
[quote name='Supreme']Anyone wanna play today? My opponent this week is madnena. I also have open games with n8, keith, and Destro.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I can play tonight if you want to. I'd just need to start by 9 PM EST. Let me know.
 
Sports Connect is a pain in the ass. Half an hour of trying to connect into a game.

What he said. The last game I had, it took 4 or 5 tries to connect. This time, it's been 10 or so and we have not connected.

I just checked, and my NAT is set to Type 2/Open. MLB's the only game I've played on any system recently that hasn't worked. fuck SportsConnect.

EDIT: A dozen tries, at least, including a couple attempts at connecting for exhibition games. No luck. We basically both just wasted an hour.
 
Could have had 2 games played by now in the past hour. It's sad because while Matt signed off, I was able to get into a game via quickplay with perfect connection.
 
Matt, when is the earliest you can try to play again later/late tonight? I should be up for awhile. Til like 1 a.m. eastern or so.

Yeah, I'm really tired of SportsConnect. If SCEA gave a shit at all about online play, they'd move on to something different. Given the problems that the ModNation Racers servers have as well though, SCEA really has no business doing anything with online play.

But I remember I had trouble connecting with you one time before wildcpac. Did you ever check what your NAT type is? It should be listed at the bottom when you do a network test from the XMB. It's really an important thing to know.
 
That's weird. I have only had problems with my last 2 games as far as connecting goes, but I've only played maybe a dozen games of MLB 10 online, all in the CAG leagues. So if it is my connection, I'm not sure what's causing it. Everything's set to be open, and I can connect with groups for ModNation Racers (only other PS3 online game I've tried) and everything on the Xbox.

As for later tonight, I probably can't. That's why I wanted to play earlier.

EDIT: Yeah, Nate, as I said, my NAT is type 2 according to the PlayStation. I looked it up, and that apparently means "Open". Last time I checked on my 360, the test said my NAT was open as well.
 
Due to a family emergency, I am going to have to take a 2 week break from the league. I pm'ed Josh 2 days ago to get a game in but I never heard back. Not his fault and Matt/I spent an hour and a half the other day trying to connect into a game. I am more than willing to make games up in a timely order when I do get back which will not be until around the 18th.
 
actually, I'm not. I am Best Man in my friend's wedding. lemme know if your work schedule has any free time tomorrow.
 
As I predicted was a possibility, I was indeed out for a good chunk of the day Saturday. Cpac, I'm willing to try again, but it would have to be at night. Not sure if it was just SportsConnect, or if there's a problem between your connection and mine. I know it was quite frustrating to waste all that time trying the other day, for both of us, but if there's any chance we can get the game in, that would be nice if it would let us play.

Matt, he posted 4 posts up that he's not going to be able to play for a couple weeks.
 
Somehow, that was the only post in this thread that I missed. Damn.

First madbst has something come up, and now cpac (even though we already tried playing). Nate, the online league gods must hate anything you run. :whistle2:\
 
Yeah, I'm not really sure what I should do in terms of deadlines. As it is, there are only 3 teams left in the NL. If I start simming wildcpacs games, that's going to automate things even more. I don't think there is anybody in the league who is out of games to play, so we're not at a complete standstill yet. I still want to keep the one game a week "deadlines" in place even if I don't actually resolve the games. HOWEVER, once we do reach a standstill, games from the earliest "unfinished" week will be resolved immediately.

wildcpac has always been good about getting his games played, and he's in first place, so I don't want to screw him out of a playoff spot. But at the same time, I can't let the league get bogged down either. So, I guess when he gets back, if he can catch up before those games HAVE to be resolved, I'll allow it. But again, there will still be the expectation that people play one game a week, and any game past its deadline is subject to being resolved at any time. Does that sound reasonable to everybody? Of course nothing with this league could possibly come easy, but that's the best I can come up with.

Having said that, the official deadline for Series 3 games is tonight at 11:59 PM EST. As I mentioned, I'll hold off on resolving these games until we actually need to. But once one team runs out of games, I'll have to do it just to move the schedule forward...and even then we'll only be moving one week at a time (since completing one week only opens up one week). It would be great if we could get some of these weeks knocked out before their deadline even comes. I was hoping there would be another week where we could do 2 series in one week, so things wouldn't take so long...but I guess as long as we're moving forward, it's something.
 
is the timer counted down? or is there a grace period like last week.

Destro when can you play ? your not still hungover are you?
 
Yeah, I have only gotten to play 1 of my 3 games so far, so I hope no more of my games get simmed, especially since we tried for an hour to play this one. Aside from the fact that I want to be able to play every game since that's the whole point, there is the possibility of a trophy for some of us, but we have to actually play a certain percentage of our games.

My schedule again:

Los Angeles Dodgers (MattYoung730)

Week 1: CaptainBackslap/Chicago White Sox (W)
Week 2: madnena/Minnesota Twins (W)
Week 3: CusemanKeith/New York Yankees (L)
Week 4: cpac2008/Florida Marlins
Week 5: mdam0re/New York Mets
Week 6: Jetman07/Philadelphia Phillies
Week 7: Killsbury/Milwaukee Brewers
Week 8: n8rocker82/Texas Rangers

So there you have it. Jetman got rid of the game, right? Pretty sure he did. I know the rest of you guys who I am facing are pretty easy to reach.

The timer will be counted down tonight in about an hour. But like I said, I don't think I'm going to be simming any games until we reach a standstill. I haven't looked too closely at every team's schedule, but it didn't seem like there was a team with no available games left. You're not at that point are you?

[quote name='Matt Young']So there you have it. Jetman got rid of the game, right? Pretty sure he did. I know the rest of you guys who I am facing are pretty easy to reach.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Jetman sold his game and has since been dropped from the league.

I can play tonight, tomorrow night, probably after 9 or so, just PM me and I'll get in touch with you.
 
mdam0re, Steggy, Nate: I can get a game in in a couple hours if you want. I had hoped to be available earlier today, but I am working on something for my mom on the computer and have been for a couple hours.

Steggy isn't in the league anymore, Matt. I mentioned a few pages back that he PM'd me and said some financial stuff came up so he needed to sell the game. Like I said, there are only 3 NL teams left. You, wildcpac, and mdamore. If davidb69 joins, that will at least give us the Phillies back, but I want to make sure he's still interested.

davidb...you still interested in joining? If so, I'll get you an invitation sent asap. I'm just hoping for a follow-up post because a lot of people tend to do hit & run's on leagues. So, if you still want in, just let me know.
 
Weird... Steggy got NCAA 11 and started a league.

I guess you couldn't/can't play, Nate, since you didn't mention anything about it. You guys, just let me know when you might be available.
 
I can play tomorrow night. Not sure what time but I'll definitely be on maybe around 9 or 10 or even earlier. If not tomorrow, I'll be on a lot the next week. I'll send PSN messages to my opponents.

I would recommend sending PM's on CAG. The OP of this thread is even set up with each member's name as a clickable link to send a PM. I just know personally that I don't turn on my PS3 every day (and sometimes not for an entire week), but I check my computer at least a couple times every day...and I get an email whenever I get a PM on CAG. So, to me, that would seem like the easiest way to get in touch with people.

I can't play tomorrow until later on. I have people coming over for the wrestling pay per view around 7 P.M. Eastern, and the show ends at 11 Eastern. Not sure if everyone's going to leave right away. I can do Monday, though.

EDIT: I forgot, I have to go to the clinic at the hospital for "further evaluation", so I can't commit to Monday. It's still a possibility, but I can't say for sure. Tuesday's open, though.

Small update

I'll be back home by next Tuesday/Wednesday. I am more than willing to make up whatever games from the 19th on.


Matt, hopefully this time we do not have to wait at least an hour to get into a game like the last time.

I'm going to look at the league later tonight, and see if some games need to be resolved. I wanted to leave it open to give you a chance to make up those games, but I don't know if a single game has been played since you've been away. It seems that without the weekly "threat" of having games resolved, people don't have a whole lot of motivation to play. And the problem is, without everyone pitching in to help catch us up, all it does is put us further behind.

Even if I resolve Series 3 games tonight, Series 4 games won't be eligible to be resolved till next Monday (even though they were technically due last night). And the thought that there are still 12 series to get through AFTER this one is daunting as hell. I feel like we'll be lucky to have 2 or 3 people left when/if we finally make it to the end. I probably should have just kept resolving games all along, but I thought maybe we could pick each other up and not make every deadline necessary. But that hasn't happened.
 
[quote name='Matt Young']Well, I've mentioned playing and listed my future opponents on more than one occasion, so can either of you guys play tomorrow?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I can probably play sometime tomorrow night. Not sure when yet though. If there's a specific time that works for you, let me know.
 
No certain time in mind, really. I am tired today, but I can fit in a game tonight if that works better for you.

I've been trying to get games played, but when people aren't responding to the thread, it's somewhat disheartening. I'm sticking around till the end, though!
