  1. I also think the league itself is riddled with strange licensing issues. There's no way to watch the central league (NL) outside of Japan or even find clips of games. Pacific league (AL) is all over YouTube and they have their own streaming service. A lot of it has to do with most teams being owned by corporations instead of an ownership group so I'm sure there's some crazy hoops they'd have to jump through with tv company's or something to distribute anything overseas. It's probably a mix of MLB/SDS and that stopping Konami from really investing in it outside of Asian territories. It's a real shame. There's a whole franchise style mode dedicated to building a high school baseball team from scratch, there's a traditional season and player career modes, there's some cool stuff in it that unless someone who really knows the language and how to mod unreal engine 4 works on it will just be completely lost to the west.
  2. That's basically how I got it as well. Got an ultrawide monitor recently so I've been messing around with it some more. It doesn't have ultrawide support by default so you kind of have to break into unreal engine and while doing that I also boosted the rendering to 4k and maxed out some other things. It's definitely a looker, and it helps that I've been following NPB pretty close since 2020 to know my way around the league, I just wish I didn't have to hold my phone up to translate text so I could get deeper into the modes.
  3. You could always put him in left. If his bat is really as good as it appears, they'll find a spot for him.
  4. The Japanese star 22 year old, who throws 103 but also drops bombs off of the top of a dome where they have to make up a rule and call it a ground rule double, could be in the MLB sooner rather than later. "SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Over the course of the next week we will see the game's best and brightest being feted with Cy Youngs and MVPs, among other major trophies. But one name you won't hear announced on any of these awards shows is arguably the most dynamic baseball talent in the world. Shohei Otani just led the Nippon Ham Fighters to the Japan Series title and this came on the heels of a season in which the 22-year-old pitcher/DH (you read that right) posted a 1.86 ERA while slugging 22 homers with a league-high 1.004 OPS and getting Major League general managers dreaming of the possibilities. So now the question is: When will we see him in MLB?" http://m.mlb.com/news/article/208585722/mlb-waiting-for-posting-of-shohei-otani/ What do you do with someone who gives you good starts and throws 100+ but also gives you 20+ homers and hits .300? I'd imagine it would be a good problem to have.
  5. We lose arguably our best player to start the season, Lose our star catcher a few months in, Lose 2 all star pitchers before the playoffs, and still take the Cubs 7 games. Couldn't have asked for much more. Great season. Next year we will be scary.
  6. If you told me we would steal 2 at Wrigley after the first 2 games I'd be ecstatic. Defend. The. Jake.
  7. Game 4 in 20 minutes. Magic number
  8. It's actually 20% off with amazon prime. I guess that also worries me. I don't really expect drastic changes on a game starting at $48. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MQA3LZG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477587300&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords="MLB+The+Show+17"
  9. Interesting choice. I think this is the first non-current player to be on the cover of a baseball videogame. Wonder what this means for game modes.
