Is that EA Sport College Baseball game any good? I want to get it a play as NCSU but if it sucks I'll pass.

3/22/2006 1:09:11 PM

why the hell did you make this thread.

You just jinxed the fuck out of us.

gtfo.

I'm all about supporting the team, but seriously we need to put a lid on this "getting hopes up" shit so we don't wind up underachieving....

playing it now and im enjoying it. haven't played with nc state yet but you can edit player attributes to make it more realistic if our guys are off. doesn't have Doak but does have a pretty sweet create stadium editor so I'd bet you can get it pretty close.

quick plug, i'm tryin to sell the MVP NCAA '06 game just because i never play it (only play MLB The Show). PM if interested.


But the team is playing very well right now. To be honest, it surprised the hell outta me we took 2 of 3 from GT. GT is always a tough team.

Cool thing is, they are doin it with some local boys. Mangum is from Fuquay and Mangini is from around the same area but went to Apex HS. McLaurin and Andrew Taylor are a couple other local's off the top of my head.

Clemson's a huge series. How far is Clemson from Charleston?

3/22/2006 3:22:21 PM

4 hours

3/22/2006 3:22:54 PM

far.

3/22/2006 3:23:22 PM

^^^ think wilmington and boone (clemson nw corner of state charleston se corner of state)

Does it have any/most of the ACC stadiums?

3/22/2006 3:38:40 PM

I dont know about a national championship, but Id love to see us make the College World Series...basically the Elite Eight of college baseball.

3/23/2006 6:10:15 AM

i thought people said they have EA people looking over Doak a year or so back, takin pictures for the game or whatever.

it would seem they would have it, as they show NC State a couple times in the game's preview trailer

3/23/2006 9:02:10 AM

I think FSU, Miami, GT, and Clemson are the only ACC fields in it.

The create-a-field option is pretty cool though.

ex cougar pitcher/centerfielder right here

3/23/2006 10:33:45 AM

Speakin of Baseball....I have a ticket that I need to get rid of for the Saturday April 22nd game. State vs. unc at carolina. $5 gets it.

3/23/2006 10:37:42 AM

i think you can buy tickets at the game for $5... they were $7 at UM a couple years ago though, so i guess that could be some sort of standard pricing.

Are you assigned a seat # or anything at UNC? I'm looking at going to this game and hazing the fuck out of some UNC fags on their home turf.

3/23/2006 11:12:57 AM

yeah they are 5 bucks at the game, but I went ahead and got them early incase they sell out.
I am just tryin to get the money for it cause one of the guys cant go that day.
And the tickets are general admission so get there early.

Elliot Avent.

Maybe you should try going to a game. We are 21-5. 5-1 in ACC.

Is seating on the hill aloud? Also what do you think the chances of this series selling out are??

3/23/2006 11:37:25 AM

wait, we beat georgia tech the #1 team 2 out of 3 games and we lose a spot, to #20 in the rankings????? how do baseball rankings work?

3/23/2006 1:50:20 PM

I miss Raleigh only for the sporting events...UNCC baseball games are not the same at all

We got swept at home 3 games by an average UCLA team that coming into the series was 6-9. Losing at home like that never helps the rankings. They lit us up like a Christmas tree.

Once again, come out to the games and you can find out for yourselves.

Nope. There actually aren't that many real stadiums in it, and apparently the stadium editor doesn't let you do a whole lot.

Seems like a bit of a rush job from what I've heard--uses rosters from last year, not many stadiums, etc. I've pretty much decided to wait and see if they fix it up next year.

3/23/2006 2:39:31 PM

i'm addicted to the game, however it does have it flaws.. i.e. they have Bates as a lefthanded hitter and Matt Devine playing third. Hopefully they will have this fixed by next year.

The Wolfpack jumped from the ranks of the unranked all the way to No. 20 in the Baseball America poll, and from No. 22 to No. 22 in Collegiate Baseball. In The Rosenblatt Report, NC State checks in at No. 25 this week after being unranked for two weeks."

Really??? He isn't even on the team. He graduated. How do you know that's him?

3/23/2006 3:13:26 PM

well they say "the senior stepping in" and it looks like he is about Matt's size... i didn't look up the number or anything though.

3/23/2006 3:35:10 PM

but we were 19th when we played GT, that was after the UCLA series.

It really just depends on the poll you are looking at

Jumped from No.22 to No.22? WTF?

3/23/2006 4:31:10 PM

Matt Devine played 3rd last year. I'm pretty sure it is last year's roster, isn't it?

3/23/2006 5:11:29 PM

Does anyone when Brack is scheduled to pitch again?
