hahha, trying to figure it out actually, there are small things that are different from the PS and its throwing me

7/11/2007 7:23:52 PM

god dammit... is there no coach mode or is John David Ass just not throwing the god damn ball?

7/11/2007 7:27:03 PM

wow, apparently it doesnt... god dammit, I really wouldnt have bought this if I knew that... surely it isnt a PS3/360 thing though... I assume its not on either version...

7/11/2007 7:49:13 PM

ok, i've been on hold about 25 minutes now, i'm getting tired of this shitty music they are putting in my ear

7/11/2007 9:26:21 PM

how is NCAA? I am downloading it but it is really slow for some reason.

7/11/2007 10:00:32 PM

god dammnit, its impossible to fucking hit in MLB, playing some dude online, hes no hitting me through 6, with 13 K's.

7/11/2007 10:10:58 PM

might be smart to play more than an hour before going online.

7/11/2007 10:14:27 PM

hey lets get a game of baseball next, i need an easy win

7/11/2007 10:15:15 PM

^^ why? learning against someone else is just as good as against the computer.

7/11/2007 10:18:46 PM

it makes you better than playing the computer actually...but it also takes longer

7/11/2007 10:19:41 PM

I just spent $500 on something to play Gauntlet and Golden Axe on

7/11/2007 10:20:41 PM

you oughta get gamefly

also there are a shitload of other demos to download and play to find games that you yourself like

7/11/2007 10:21:56 PM

but I bought MLB

7/11/2007 10:23:19 PM

MLB is dope

if you wanna return your box be my guest but i wouldnt be so hasty

7/11/2007 10:29:53 PM

I am not close to hitting anything, I made contact like 3 times. Does it have an auto field option that I am just missing? I do admit, the game looks amazing, love the stadium intro and the uniforms blowing in them wind


trying a Dirt demo now...

[Edited on July 11, 2007 at 10:33 PM. Reason : d]

7/11/2007 10:33:37 PM

yeah, didnt dig that either

7/11/2007 10:38:21 PM

i wasnt really feeling dirt

try downloading the Burnout demo (another racing game)

MLB is crazy in depth...you're not SUPPOSED to be any good at it the first time you play

7/11/2007 10:56:22 PM

Tomb Raider is fun... havent played this in years...

7/11/2007 10:56:54 PM

just dont stay up all night downloading and playing games lol

7/11/2007 10:59:46 PM

tried call of duty, I just cant do FPS with a controller

7/11/2007 11:04:06 PM

the controls for most FPS's are basically like goldeneye on the 64

7/11/2007 11:09:17 PM

I could do that back in the day, but cant now for some reason.

Virtua Tennis 3 is pretty sweet

7/11/2007 11:12:15 PM

get the tiger woods and rockstar presents table tennis demos

7/11/2007 11:15:54 PM

^^didnt you say you never really played the first XBox? man once you get used to the controller you'll be straight

7/11/2007 11:20:19 PM

MLB is a great game... but I use classic hitting and a different pitching format from the default too..

I found some sliders that made the game great and pretty realistic. I just played the Braves and won 4-2. 9 hits for the Mets, 6 for the Braves. Some solid pitching and good hitting.

You really need the sliders to make the game better though. If not, it's a HR robbing marathon.

7/11/2007 11:21:27 PM

Ny, can you PM or post the sliders. I was never able to get a set that made the game fun

7/11/2007 11:22:16 PM

I'll post them tomorrow. They were on operationsports.com somewhere. I'm about to head out so I don't have time to look right now but I'll post the link at work tomorrow...

7/11/2007 11:25:23 PM

great, thanks.

7/11/2007 11:26:34 PM

yeah, when I played the computer in MLB it was either swing and miss, or a home run

7/11/2007 11:30:25 PM

try turning on the batters eye and guessing some different parts of the plate

7/11/2007 11:31:48 PM

its almost seems like you have to swing the instant the ball is about to leave the pitchers hand... I know its trying to be realistic, but I dont even have time to have any clue where it is going

7/11/2007 11:34:07 PM

again, its a great game but youre not supposed to immediately be good at it

and yeah you wanna begin your step as soon as the pitcher is releasing it but then you can decide if you want to let go (contact) or push up (power) or pull it to the right or left contact (circular to right or left) or power to the right or left (straight upleft or upright)...or not swing...and also use the left stick to control where in the zone

[Edited on July 11, 2007 at 11:36 PM. Reason : .]

7/11/2007 11:35:39 PM

how do you not swing?


and how do you do all of that using the classic swing?

7/11/2007 11:38:15 PM

i dont use classic swing, i use the swing stick

if you make your step and dont want to swing, dont let go or dont push forward...just keep the stick held back until the pitch is over

also if you let go to swing and IMMEDIATELY pull back (or pull the right trigger) you will check your swing

btw try the homerun derby...in that, if you accidentally click down on the right stick, it doesnt make you drag bunt like a retard...thats one of the toughest things to get used to IMO because in regular games of 2K6, clicking the right stick inadvertently didnt fuck up your swing and make you bunt

the derby will certainly give you some good practice at hitting

[Edited on July 11, 2007 at 11:47 PM. Reason : .]

7/11/2007 11:45:26 PM

I did the home run derby with Howard and Big Papi... Howard I swung and miss every time, Ortiz I hit 15 straight homers, nothing in between aha

I am up for a game on there if you want... not sure how to connect with you...

"E3 07: Silent Hill 5 spooking 360, PS3 Konami goes multiplatform for its horror-survival series' next-generation debut, set for sometime next year. By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot Posted Jul 11, 2007 8:12 pm PT SANTA MONICA, California--Today at Konami's record-settingly brief E3 Press Event, producer William Ortell announced the company is developing Silent Hill 5 for "next-generation" platforms. The announcement marks the continuation of the long-running horror-survival series, which made its debut on the original PlayStation in 1999. Over the next several years, the franchises made its way onto the PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2, and the PlayStation Portable. It also arrived on the big screen in the form of the Silent Hill film, which was successful enough to spawn a sequel (due out next year). Soon after the Konami event's literal 15 minutes were up, the publisher officially announced that Silent Hill 5 is in development for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Currently set for a 2008 release, the game will follow a veteran who returns to his hometown to search for his brother who has mysteriously vanished. As is often the case in Silent Hill games, his quest leads him to the titular ghost town, where eeriness is in full effect. Konami is bringing back the sinister atmosphere and grotesque inhabitants of Silent Hill for the fifth game, but other aspects of the game are being changed. Specifically, the publisher said the game will include a new combat system, with an array of defensive and offensive techniques. The game will also sport an original soundtrack from series producer and sound director Akira Yamaoka. "

god i can't wait for this. another game that is getting copped day one.

7/12/2007 8:44:54 AM

you know it wasn't an exclusive before, right?

7/12/2007 9:03:25 AM

i am not talking about the exclusivity of it, i am just glad it is coming and they announced it. thats all.

7/12/2007 9:14:43 AM

^^^^ yup, twas fun, thanks for all the hints/advice.



anyone know if there is a way to slow down the pitching a bit? its basically impossible, at least to me, to tell balls from strikes since you have to swing immediately

7/12/2007 10:45:31 AM

ah, i think i was reading your use of "copped" as a "copped" exclusive, not that you were copping it the day it hits the shelf

7/12/2007 10:47:21 AM

^^I don't know man. Sometimes I have to take pitches. I just hate when the CPU will get the benefit of a doubt, but if you pitch a close pitch on the corner or edge, it's a ball.

[Edited on July 12, 2007 at 10:47 AM. Reason : ^^]

7/12/2007 10:47:39 AM

^^^yeah i didnt check on where the setting was but i do recall you can change the overall game speed...and i think the default is 70

maybe under sliders, i dunno

[Edited on July 12, 2007 at 11:03 AM. Reason : .]

stuntman:ignition demo on marketplace

7/12/2007 11:07:51 AM

you played it yet? stuntman on ps2 was fun as hell

7/12/2007 11:08:33 AM

nah, downloadin while im playing the darkness

i loved the ps2 shit aside from the loadtimes

7/12/2007 11:09:36 AM

there is a slider on mlb to change the pitch speed.

set it low at first, then as you get better at the game you'll want to gradually increase it to keep it challenging.

7/12/2007 11:13:02 AM

^ Weren't you the one talking about liongames.com?

How often does he update that site? I was about to order halo and mass effect, but I noticed that he still had Forza and The Darkness as "coming soon", so I wanted to be sure

7/12/2007 11:20:16 AM

^^ where is it? I looked around for it and couldn't find it... and the problem is, I don't want it to make it "easier" for me to hit, like I don't want it to do something where I can swing anytime and still hit it, or anytime I hit it will find a hole etc., I don't want that... I just want it where I can actually see at least the general direction the ball is traveling before committing to swing.



and although I didnt like the game itself much, the graphics for Dirt looked amazing


and I really like Virtua Tennis... anyone got a copy they want to get rid of?
