Really eh? 6/7 points for a QB td seems pretty steep I must say but whatever, as long as it all balances out for players to be almost equal in terms of points accrued. Down for whatever though, it's your guys' thing. I have my other leagues to do my own way, doesn't matter.

Yeah I knew I forgot something, a tight end slot of course. With the flex option being more defined works for me as well. Great idea.

Down for whatever format, didn't mean to step on any toes lmfao. Definitely have participated in the football and baseball leagues at some point in the past. I usually do 16 team leagues but if people think that's too hard then whatever, and I usually run with 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1rb/wr (aka flex) and one kicker, one defense. Down for whatever, never down an auction draft in my fantasy lifetime. Keeper would be fun as well, maybe a three year? I'd wanna do a bit smaller of a league for that then.

Agreed, MTL and NYR have shown their flaws this series and both are beaten up from a grueling playoffs thus far. Not saying that CHI and LA aren't as well, nor will getting through this series be easy for any of the four teams. Just gotta see the West as the winner now. Price out, Lundqvist showing his weakness' Missed the game tonight though, kinda pissed but oh well. Glad to see Chicago push the series further, though I wish they could have just won the other night when I had $25 on them

Yeah I watched the last five minutes of the game and it was quite the thriller. Some great shooting by both teams, notably George. Bosh and Lewis both hit big three's for the Heat down the stretch though. The Wade pass to Lewis was unreal, I'm pretty sure it was no look but I didn't see a replay. George just went off in the second half, mostly the 4th quarter. I read an article earlier this week (before game 4) off ESPN I believe that said he needed to be more of a factor like he was last season to bring this series back, as opposed to Stephenson continuing. Great game, and I only watched the last little bit lol

As well as the Patriots owner Robert Kraft's wife not long before that, I don't recall how many years/seasons ago now. They had a badge on their jersey for her during that year. On some lighter discussion.... Does anyone regularly control/set up an EWB fantasy football league? If not I'd be happy to set one up for us, as I'm the commissioner of two leagues for my friends already. It wouldn't be hard to transfer over the outline and change the rules for us from there. We all play for money but obviously we could just do one for fun.

I'm pretty excited, because I liked the EA Sports MMA controls better than Undisputed, and it's EA... but at the same time, it is the first game in a new series, so it's going to be pretty light on features. The Ultimate Fighter's inclusion in the story mode is pretty cool though, and I'm pretty excited for the demo. Apparently the controls are still similar to the old UFC ones from the quick hands on review I read, http://www.goodgamebro.com/2014/05/26/ea-sports-ufc-hands-on-impressions/ They are still working over the game from the old model or some bs so the next iteration is supposed to be fully "EA" but it's pretty much a crossbreed right now from what I gather lol. But yeah, apparently the graphics are the best they've seen in any sports game hands down. And the career mode has yet to be previewed, looking forward to that. Also the inclusion of over 100 songs for use as entrances and during menu's, etc. is amazing. Silva coming out to DMX is just so fucking bad ass and legit.

http://grantland.com/features/the-30-week-8-phillies-royals-blue-jays-giants-cluster-luck/ neat little grantland article with a power 30 using run-differential and sabermetrics. a few great gifs from the article, including a samardzija bat flip

I haven't been watching but now I definitely have to, any elaboration on what happened? Gonna look online now Edit: Oh he might foul out, I thought he got a double tech or something.

Yeah they are playing awesome eh man? I actually have forty seats per year, going on Saturday. Split them with two other buddies so I usually get to a good amount. If you want cheap tickets or perhaps to reach a game let me know lmao.

The screens and videos of the new UFC have me pretty hyped. Probably going to trade in madden, fifa and nba 2k towards it and a second controller.

Also there is a tutorial mode it's just buried in there menu's. Keep looking, as I'm not on my PS4 right now but I'll update my post when I do. I know there is training for pitching and hitting specifically. Or be more specific and perhaps we could all help our best as well. It might be your control settings, etc. Might not be doing the right thing for that set.

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense. I'm not super bothered as I'm typically just an offline franchise guy, but I could understand how people are annoyed that a game on either console can't support online well.

The sprint in from the bullpen made that whole thing lmao, if only they could have played the music over top.

I haven't tried any this season cause my internet right now in this house (which I'm moving out of) and in my room more specifically isn't the greatest wifi connection. But on OS boards I've heard mixed reviews, generally the lone weakspot for this series has been online play... always. Was wondering if it was going to finally be fixed for this generation. If you get disconnected and have issues with your own friends then that's terrible, if it's just randoms then it could be a variety of issues but still. Doesn't sound good.

Yeah the game being $12 dollars and the recent desire to run through and play some challenges and the sort like the Stoker diary, just made me want this again so bad. It's definitely better than any text sim counter part in another sport, always keeps me coming back.

Definitely gonna grab it rather than acquire it through other means as per usual. Thanks for the heads up fella!

Been re-watching The Sopranos again for about the hundredth time through. Only started the first season again the other night but damn I love this show still every time I watch it. It and The Wire are two long, slow paced shows I can watch over and over again for hours. Some I have to stop after a few episodes. Gonna get back into Seinfeld again too, got all my DVD's here. Got most of the collection. Classics.

Ryu also just knocked a run in on an unearned run (infield single that was bobbled at third) to go up 2-0 still in the bottom of the 7th. Been a great game. Cueto just got pulled with 110+ pitches 0 ER

Ryu is perfect through seven innings against the Reds, 1-0 Dodgers right now bottom 7.

I'd just need to look over some of the possible customizable rules, I'm sure its available online or somehow in the game. Let me get back to you later today, if you can't find any thing like that to share here first. I know I stumbled across one site that would let us have a page set up using our league, don't know if it just extracts the data from the game file or what. If not its probably not worth it. Gonna do more research in a little bit.

Yeah I used to hate the low pitch counts as well, would always resort to finding sliders on operation sports to use that would help. Though this year Dynamic difficulty seems to have fixed that problem. Through 5 games haven't had any pitchers mine or the computers even come close to a complete game. I had Hutchinson pulled after 6 innings yesterday, no runs, no walks, 5 hits and 7 k's with just over 100 pitches lol. It can be said that I take a lot of pitches at bat, and throw a good amount of pitches out of the zone. Though it's not a high percentage by any means, probably 20%

Yeah sure, down for whatever everyone else is. Doesn't look like the show league is getting much steam so this might be the best thing going until more people get online with PS4. Should be really fun, if we do it right we might actually be able to progress a long amount of time thus making it worth it. Giving us the ability to change the league. Does it just sim our games then? Or do we manager them if we want? Assuming that's one of the options during setup, but I figure we wouldn't be able to play head-to-head so figured it might just sim.

That was a great article to read, even went through both of the scripts he offered as well and downloaded them for future reference.
