MLB 14: The Show

[Meacon Keaton]

90 rounds.

And I've done quite a few of them already. But like I said, I really love doing them.

I'm fine with regular rosters, though. If we get 8 or 9 people in this thing, it'd likely be impossible for everyone to figure out the same time in their schedule to have the draft anyway. Of course we'll have to do that after each season for the amateur draft anyway, but that's only six (or seven?) rounds, so nowhere near as time consuming.

[DYSI]

Yeah, but I assume you could set some type of list or position order like Madden? Who knows, it's just the MLB amateur draft so it's not that important anyway.

[Meacon Keaton]

Well not for you, because you're going to be the Yankees. #bashingownteam

[Meacon Keaton]

Hey DYSI how the hell do I challenge my friend to an online exhibition game?

[DYSI]

"Hey, want to play The Show?"

Or you can go to the friends section and select the person and invite them. That or you can invite them to a game room like NBA 2k15 and go from there.

[Meacon Keaton]

Hmm. Every time I clicked on Online Exhibition it immediately set me up in a random match. Thank you.

Imagine that, Meacon not watching his team get stuffed. >_>

[Your Mom]

Is there an option to randomize our rosters? You could pick your team and it would be like a fun mystery grab bag!

[Cole]

I'd personally rather do regular teams as well, not really bothered who I end up with. Astros and Blue Jays are my two teams, and I find with sports games it's more about the users skill online then the team they play with.

Have the commish sim the fantasy draft. It's how we did it for Madden.

[Meacon Keaton]

So after three three-inning games, I can say that online is waaaaaaay harder than offline. It really puts your timing out of whack.

Streaming on my 'puter. We aren't getting stuffed yet.

The settings are definitely different. Probably harder, or possibly even different mechanics for hitting/batting. The Show is weird for online because there are a lot of different ways to play the game. I usually play on some weird settings, and sliders anyways, barely have ever played The Show online the last couple years. Been purely a franchise guy, but definitely wanna jump in on an online franchise. Did one in NHL with my buddies and it was awesome.

To note....I still haven't opened my copy of the show. Been vividly writing and playing TEW, while watching old wrasslin' and the NHL playoffs.

Gonna fire up a game later tonight or sometime tomorrow, probably start with Road to the Show after a game or two of exhibition like usual to start the year off.

You notice any lag online Don? I know that's always been an issue for the PS3 versions to date...

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah there is lag. At one point, I stole second, my friends catcher threw the ball into centerfield and warped back to second in time to beat out the base stealer.

[DYSI]

You guys were taking too long so I started the franchise already. Right now it's uploading the roster and I read that takes anywhere from a couple minutes to a couple hours, so I'll check on it again tomorrow. I sent out a couple of invites to meacon, Srar, and Maxx (atleast I think I did...) but if anyone else wants in they have to drop their PSN here so I can invite them.

[Twist]

pepsitwist273. Invite the hell out of me.

[Cole]

bluntsnpurp add me up, I'll accept later today.

[R.W.]

I've never followed baseball, and I only have a basic understanding of it.

BUT GOOD GOD THAT GAME LOOKS GORGEOUS. I'm tempted to buy it and learn the hard way!

The basics are pretty easy. Try to hit the ball with a stick, the guy throwing wants you to miss.

Sycophants. Oh, so you respond to HIM!?

[Your Mom]

How do I accept my invitation to the league?
