Can do whichever, I just always felt H2H was more fun to check day to day.

If the Braves turn out to be the 6th best team in baseball I will be very happy.

**Kurp** · 2010-02-19 10:13

If you need another player, I'd be in for a fantasy baseball league. It's been a couple of years since I've managed a baseball team and I'm not a huge fan of daily locks though.

**Moss** · 2010-02-19 10:23

I'm not either, I think weekly lock works best

The idea that the Red Sox are ranked 2nd in hitting is kinda laughable, especially with the issues Ortiz had last year, the loss of Jason Bay. This could change tho if the new players on the team show they can take advantage of Fenway's crazy dimensions..

I think these are stats based off the end of the season, still not accurate, and not taking into account off season acquisitions and losses.

I thought so too at first, but I actually think they have been adjusted. They've got the Nats ranked 18th defensively, and they were by far the worst defensive team (last in fielding percentage, worst in errors) in the NL last year, and I want to say worst overall.

I dunno even for 09 there were roster updates and stat changes like the second week the game came out. Then there were all the custom minor league rosters and stuff too. We'll see though.

Yeah, I'll do fantasy baseball as well if we do one. Love Fantasy Baseball. <3 I've done pretty good the last couple years.

I hate being "that guy" but how they ranked the Marlins is just wtf?

The Offense was ranked 12 in wOBA (4th in the NL) last year and bringing back basically the same team, but ranked 21st there.

And last ranked pitching team? Really? Were with 13th in ERA last year (9th in NL), 9th in FIP (7th in NL). Yeah, what?

Game's still uber fun though. When's it suppose to come out?

**Bozo** · 2010-02-19 13:03

PSN Store can gtfo. MLB 10 demo please.

**Akiyama** · 2010-02-19 14:42

MLB 10: The Show looks like fucking win. D:

**Trichocyst** · 2010-02-19 15:10

I'd die for a serviceable version of MLB2K. I love my 360, but I am severely lacking in baseball options. I could get the Show for PSP, but I'm not sure it would be the same.

I would do that as well. Enjoyed it last time I did it. (Not including the auto drafted team I had last year that I didn't know about until June)

It's too bad High Heat had such horrid graphics and didn't live on, because it was the one game seemingly programmed by people with any understanding whatsoever of baseball.

They could have simply ranked teams in the order of 2009 wins and they'd have had better rankings.

**Soa** · 2010-02-19 17:45

I would be down for fantasy baseball, but only if I could make the draft, so it would depend on the draft time.

Roto or H2H is fine, though I haven't done a roto league in like 5 years.

***Shinzon*** · 2010-02-19 17:53

I think the show has really good franchise modes, and the mechanics of the game are really good. There were some issues like the catching being so bland and some of the position players as well, but I'm glad to know they're changing it.

I had I think 06 for PSP, and it was still really fucking good.

I'm a die hard sox fan, and.......... even I thought it was odd they are ranked higher in hitting, then they are in pitching.

Alright, for people down for an ESPN fantasy league, does next Saturday, February 27th at 12:30pm EST work for you guys?

The league name is Blue Gartr, no "e."

Password is 'wickedpissah' no quotes. I was drunk when I set the pw so don't judge it
