Yea I've heard about Goal Line Blitz and will definitely make a character sometime. I like sports *grins* but yea there isn't a good reason not to play especially if it actually takes less time than mmobaseball

yeah you can actually check it once every couple days without missing much of anything. you get two training points a night and they stack up to 14. training costs either 2 or 5 points each time and has some extra functions that mmobaseball doesn't have.

no reason not to try it, really. it's really identical to mmobaseball in the way the game works. not sure if the community around it sucks though, but the game itself is good.

just remember to use my referral link so i can buy walter matthau GOLD CHAINS

also HAHAHA i just noticed that ase joined with my referral link and made the linebacker BRUCE GENITALS. things are right with the universe for now...

Sim Dynasty is great but I had like a 1-9 streak and finished the season pretty poorly. I also can't get a decent trade started because nobody else is active. But yea I'd play in a legit league though I dunno it mostly depends on the cost

i always look at the last login date of the team before trying to make a trade. if the team has been inactive for more than a few days i don't even bother. i only bother with the guys who actually check their team daily, but even that doesn't always work. usually there will be some active team letting some excellent player rot because of a positional logjam.

also a great trick is to trade away guys that are 39+  years old for younger developmental types. in my last season i traded a borderline contender a 39 year old starter who retired weeks later for a borderline C+/B- pitcher that ended up being my number 3 starter after just a few weeks of 5 point training in the minors. i think the other team got about 4 starts out of that pitcher, while the guy i got became excellent and won me a few games in the playoffs the following season. most people who play this game are a little slow and a lot like every mets general manager ever and will go WOW WOW WOW A B FOR A B- I CANNOT REFUSE even if the B is a guy about to retire and the B- player is about to become a B.

i'll let you know if i join a paid league, but i believe it's pretty expensive if you don't have a lot of dynasty points to put towards it. i already have like $15 worth of points from my playing the game on and off for a year or two so the first league i join will be pretty cheap.

This has been baseball chat

how bout that joe mauer?? he is good at the baseball

I joined a CPU team 2 hours after a game started now i have to wait 45 hours.

But yes, please join Goal Line Blitz. I am on D League #30 (Eastern Conference) - The Pittsburgh Matadors. Feel free to join my team if you get it in your contract offers.

yeah i am on:
d14 - columbus pirates
d16 - omaha goons

it's nearly impossible to deliberately get on a particular developmental team though, but it's something to watch out for. maybe we can get on the same team later on when our rookie contracts are up.

THIS THREAD HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY HIJACKED

DINGERS!!!!

but can he sac bunt

after running out of steroid money in mmobaseball i went and found another similar baseball player simulation game called diy-sports that ACTUALLY WORKS. you actually get contracts from cpu teams immediately and with the ridiculous amounts of shitty cpu players, your guy will put up really good numbers right off the bat. the cpu/human team ratio is ridiculous so it's really easy to get on a good team. i'm in the majors right now with the minnesota twins even though i haven't even hit level 2 yet.

a plus/minus is that you pretty much just set your auto training up and walk away, letting your player do his thing. i don't really know if this is a bad thing or not. mmobaseball forces you to check in every once in a while to set up your training but it's pretty superficial and has the same function. you can go idle in this game and your guy still continues training as far as i can tell. they structure the training such that it's better if you keep an eye on it(you lose points in other areas by focusing on one area all the time) but it's not critical like mmobaseball that requires you to come back a couple times every day.

anyway, here is the link* if you guys are at all interested in this.(enter my username hundley in the referral section of the signup page if you want to be a nice guy)

i feel like a huge dick posting my fourth referral link but whatever. i'm a box score junkie anyway and i've been into these dumb sports simulation games lately as a fun little time-waster. i'm just glad i broke my horrible baseball mogul addiction.



*also they do not make this terribly clear but DO NOT buy your player a bat. it costs credits which could be used to buy a second player. other pieces of equipment you use game dollars, but bats are an exception apparently. i have no fucking idea what my player is using to hit but it appears to be working.

Yeah, the DIY sports one is kind of sill because there's like 500 teams but only like 500 people. I've been on it for about a week and a bit. username is explodet.

yeah it's really ridiculous. i guess they're hoping for the game to really catch on, but it would have felt a little more sensible to start with half that amount and expand later depending on demand. it's strange because mmobaseball does it wrong with too few teams and the cpu teams being absolute shit, but this game does it wrong with way too many cpu teams.

hey cool you are on team 1.

Anyone else watching the All-Star game tonight?  NL is going to get it's ass whooped again.  They look horrible so far.

Edit:  Spoke too soon.  What the fuck was Hamilton thinking throwing to third when he should have thrown to home.

i am boycotting the all-star game due to the ghastly omission of russell branyan from the all star roster.

Fan voting makes the ASG a joke anyway. Not that the managers' picks are much better. Carlos Pena, Wakefield, and Victorino (especially Victorino) are joke all-stars.

we're number 1!!

i was about to express OUTRAGE at victorino getting the starting center field starting nod with beltran out, but the national league is really weak in outfielders this year, particularly center fielders. the only nl outfielders having strong seasons that got left off the team were matt kemp and adam dunn. a couple of his pitching choices and omissions were a bit wonky(zach duke? do you really take two pirates to the all-star game?) but i think manuel did a good job getting a fair spread of players. his biggest snub was probably sandoval, but i'm sure he'll have the chance to make many more all-star games in the future.

i genuinely don't understand how carlos pena and his .228 batting average made it over branyan, though. apart from his home runs, pena hasn't really been all that great since his breakout season in 2009. AND joe maddon gave the nod to roy halladay as the al starter over zach greinke due to halladay's "body of work", which should have no factor in making choices for the all-star game. it's like joe maddon doesn't fucking understand how the all-star game is supposed to work. he made all kinds of shitty choices for his roster. four third basemen but just two shortstops and second basemen? wakefield and buehrle over blackburn and weaver?

the all-star game would be a lot better if it was handled with a league-wide coach poll rather than just letting the manager and fans decide it all.

not like i ever really have a lot of interest in the all-star game anyway. i mainly wanted to rag on joe maddon, the luckiest man in baseball.

do you still have all yr baseball cards????

y/n

it hink most of mine are still around and that; kicks ass

I actually have that card.

so do i
