Are you sure that's not on your playlist and it's just playing off that? I haven't recognized either of those.

have spent a silly amount of time over the last few days adding "proper music" to the game tho, trust me to choose the Cubs to play my franchise with aka the most boring "music translated into video games" team in all of baseball. Even better than the NBA 2K series for custom music

this is an f'n gyp man, feel like I got f'd in the a by a big black d. Heroically led the Braves to a World Series victory in RTTS and the celebration cut scene thing was maybe the worst ever outside of the My Player one on the NBA 2K games. Would like to be traded to an awful team so I never come close to such soul crushing disappointment again #TheShow12posts

Finally picked up the new version as an impulse buy as I was getting bored with my other franchise.

Incredible game. Love some of the new little touches. Shame the AI GMs are still a bunch of dumb retards though. Not even 3 months into my franchise and Mike Trout was dealt to the Cardinals. The Angels DID get Oscar Tavares and Shelby Miller out of the deal, but still.

Didn't see this before, but it just feels a lot more polished on the whole. Hitting can be frustrating at times, but once you have a few good games it feels hella rewarding.

Guess pitch has also been revamped in that it will only tell you if you guessed the right zone as soon as the pitch is thrown for a split second, rather than tipping you off throughout the wind-up. I find myself guessing for zones rather than pitch types. I've had my most success that way.

Just had a game where Gerardo Parra was basically God reincarnated.

D'Backs @ Rangers, tied 1-1 in the top of the 9th, Parra comes up against Soria and CRUSHES a solo HR into the 2nd deck to go up 2/1

Then in the bottom of the 9th, Putz gets one out, allows Moreland to SMOKE a double, then Nellie Cruz flies out to Parra in left.

Moreland tries to advance on the fly and Parra GUNS him down at 3rd to win the game.

Absolute insanity.

Won the All Star Game 2-1, crazy pitcher's duel. Miggy hit a solo shot off of Bumgarner in the 4th, but I bounced back with solo jacks from A-Gon and Rollins off of Weaver in the 5th. Also won the home run derby as Lucas Duda.

Had 4 reps make it to the game: Wright, Harvey, Parnell, Duda. Harvey is even more ridiculous in this game than in real life. I'm using the Opening Day OFSM rosters (full minor leagues) and Harvey is just an absolute monster. Sub-1 WHIP at the All Star Break.

nah, franchise and RTTS will take up pretty much all of my time when playing. Also OneVonMuff, am probably brutal when playing against somebody from Amurrrrca tho but also my mild baseball retardation may serve me well. Also also have worked 8 straight days/been stupidly busy/don't have a scheduled day off for the next 2 weeks but have 2-3 weeks off/lots of free time after that so we can play then. Dodgers obvs

I got the Vita version a week ago when the price dropped. It's totally decent, but I still can't hit for shit. Still might get the PS3 version eventually.

I made a trade deadline move that is paying huge dividends for me. The Twins were way in last place and were looking to clear salary. So I sent away 3 young B potential guys: Daniel Murphy (who I just could never hit well as for some reason), Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and Jeurys Familia for Ryan Doumit (who was the Twins' lone All Star rep) and Josh Willingham. Found that I absolutely rake with both guys, and Willingham in particular has been amazing for me during the playoffs..

I gave Travis d'Arnaud a month-long trial before the deadline and just couldn't play well as him, so I went with a Doumit/Buck combo the rest of the season. Doumit has another year on his deal, so I might go with a d'Arnaud/Doumit platoon next year since Doumit sucks against lefties.

I rolled with a Valdespin/Turner 2B platoon after the Murphy trade, and Valdespin goes and hits 4 bombs during the NLCS. I swept away the Reds and the 108 win Dodgers in the NLDS and NLCS, respectively. But only one game was a blowout (the one started by Clayton Kershaw, oddly). The others were all really tightly contested and I got through it on the strength of my pitching.

Well I fucked up my off-season real good. I tried to lock up World Series MVP Ike Davis long term, but in the process I forgot to offer arbitration to him. The deadline passes, and suddenly Ike is a free agent and the game tells me I can't sign him because I don't have enough money. Even though I have like $30 million in payroll space for 2014 available.

Looks like I'll just start over with a fantasy drafted franchise or something, since my cock up just killed the immersion dead for me.
