MLB 14: The Show

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

What was the deal with an online franchise? Do we think we could get one going?

[EddieG]

Oh, please!

Seeing as the only time I get to really play is at night it might be suitable for me to join an American league too.

[Toe]

As long as I don't have to play every single game, I'd be up for it.

[Cole]

I could actually play now, I was without internet last month and will be online from now on so no stressers there.

I'd be able to set it up if we had enough people and the original organizer isn't interested or bothered to do it.

Been playing a lot of my Jays franchise, almost done April now. 15-7. Batting is at All-Star ++ and usually goes up and down from + levels depending on W/L. As for pitching, I've stuck onto the Hall of Fame level for the last few weeks in game. Throwing the ball really well with almost all of my starters, the bullpen has been a bit rougher. Traded two prospects to get a RP from the rockies farm team who was eating up time with a fat contract (Betancourt, 3.2 mill, roughly 78 overall)

Just tried my first game online and though the lag didn't affect me or the game it was a bit weird watching the ball travel a few times, having been an offline only player for years now. Had baserunners verge way off the lane too and sketch me out a few times resulting in two seperate outs on the basepaths but I was up 4-0 and throwing a no hitter going into the 6th and got some weird game disconnect error with PS4. Don't know if it was my disc or just the usual glitch bs that happens online in sports games....

So, this happening or what?

[Cole]

How many people do we have to at least try this out?

[EddieG]

*puts hand up*

Let's just do it, I will be easily killed.

My PSN name is bradhutchison86

[Twist]

I can try this.

Pepsitwist273.

If I HAVE to play games, ill have an easier time wrangling some PS4 time.

FYI I have never played an online game before, so tell me how it works on here. >_>

[Twist]

The only annoyance ive had.with online games is that it always freezes up for a split second just before the swing. That can be killer at times.

[9 to 5]

Probably end up helping me that.

Why didn't anyone tell me the Diamond Dynasty was a thing?!

This could rule my life. And the superstar I got in my initial pack? Matt Harvey!

[Meacon Keaton]

Because Diamond Dynasty is the fourth best mode in the game behind Franchise, RTTS, and online Home-Run Derby.

HR derby is the only thing I've played online so far, shortly after I first got it.

I won.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

So I've been playing a shit ton of RTTS. I eventually settle in as the Diamondbacks starting 3B. I'm a power hitter and end up averaging about mid 30's in HRs each year. We've been pretty bad for the last few years but we finally put together a nice run after they trade for Jason Kipnis. We have a crazy good July but fall badly in September. We're never more than 5 games out of the division but we're definitely out of the wild card. We end up getting swept in our second last series and even though we swept the Cards, the Dodgers take the division. I was a little gutted, but at least we have next year.

NOPE! I get traded to the Red Sox two weeks into the next season. They have an awful team, with Archie Bradley as their ace but nobody to back him up. They've got a terrible pen and they are waiting on Pedroia's absurd contract to run out this year. Not sure why they traded for me but I'm on my way out as soon as this season is over.

[Cole]

Reading that definitely made me want to start a new RTTS

[9 to 5]

Last match of the regular season in RTTS, Triple AAA, a win would see us in the playoffs for sure.......so of course it is 12-3 against us before I even bat. :/

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Ended up having a pretty good season but the Red Sox were bad. Thought about staying and trying to give them a discount to let them rebuild. Changed my mind and signed with my biggest rival while I was a Dback, the Dodgers. Playing with Felix Hernandez, Chris Davis, and Buster Posey. This should be fun.
