philliesphan18 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 ....and yet, with all the things in MVP Baseball that we hate or annoy us in game, we still play it. The thing that annoys me the most is that MVP is still the best baseball game out there as of right now. (no doubt the amazing work of the modders here have made it so . Does anyone here even remember what an unmodded MVP 2005 game looks like. LOL) Still one would think that in 2+ year someone should have come up with a better baseball game. Well we can always hope in 2009 someone else buys the MBL rights.Hope - its all we have now! Well, and the modders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahjazzno12fan Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Every time I go to steal a base, my runner takes for ever to leave and he always gets thrown out... As soon as I see the CPU take off, I press the throw button, but they almost always make it. Also, the CPU is awesome at climbing walls... Is the human able to actually climb? I can only get them to make a half-hearted jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahjazzno12fan Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Oops... Also, let's say one of my players goes down on the DL . He is injured for 18 days. Is there not a way to make him stay on the DL for those 18 days? Or do I have to sit him on the bench for 3 and the DL for 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerryluo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 maximum 15 days so you are correct I hate how a perfect pitch sometimes ends up hitting the batter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahjazzno12fan Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thats not how it really works in MLB though is it? I thought that the player could be put on the 15 day DL, but then the player could stay on longer if they were not ready to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 you could send that player to the minors and imagine he'll make a rehab start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make it 'retroactive' to the first day he hasn't played, but you can't leave him on there for 18 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerryluo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 What really bugs me is if a starter is injured for 10 days, then I don't know if I should put him on DL or just leave him on bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't the games fault. That's a philosophical decision on your part as manager. I'd put him on the DL, unless you've got plenty of pitchers on the big league club. It's only the matter of missing 1 more start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFeathers Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Wait i think your wrong, a player can be on the DL for longer than 15 days but cant be on the DL for shorter than 15 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFeathers Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 15-day Disabled List. If a player placed on the MLB 15-day DL you are allowed to send him to your 15-day DL at any time that he is on the MLB 15-day DL. This allows you to free a roster spot on your 25-man roster for an injury fill-in, if needed. A player is eligible to return to your roster in time to play the week he was initially scheduled to come off the MLB DL. For example, if a player goes on the MLB 15-Day DL on Wed. Apr. 13th and you place him on your DL - he is eligible to return to your 25-Man roster the week containing Thurs. Apr 28th (week 4). He will be unlocked on your contracts page after the week 3 deadline has passed on Mon. Apr 18. There is no limit or maximum on how long a player may stay on your 15-day DL. http://gamedayritual.mlb.com/baseball/help/manual.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superciuc Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think that the injured player can be scheduled day-to-day and then they are moved to the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think that the injured player can be scheduled day-to-day and them moved to the roster day-to-day just keeps them on the bench, it doesn't free up a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superciuc Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 My mistake, i was meaning that the injured players are keeped in the bench when they are day-to-day(don't know if spelled right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmike Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I hate when players play everday and I still get a email saying that they are upset about their playing time. It never fails with Jorge Posada, I have him batting ninth. Ok, he may not be leading off, but he is getting to play everyday. I also hate the limited player management screens. Though I beleive at the time they were released they were very in depth. But after playing more recent games they leave you wanting more. This really isnt a fair considering this game is older than Madden 2007 and Madden 2006. I hate that the owner mode expects you to run a major league team off of a low class minor league stadium.

TwentySeven Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 One thing I hate is that if a player has a minor injury, the computer can put the player as a DH and I can't. I know that you could edit the player to be healthy and stick them to be DH anyways, but that kind of feels like cheating to me, I dunno. Another thing is that you know automatically exactly how long the injury is and like you never get a player who heals very quickly even though you think they are badly hurt, and you never get a Carl Pavano where he keeps on getting re-injured. Finally, I wish that there was something in the game for steroids, just so that it was more realistic. Obviously EA couldn't put that in the game, but it seems to me that that is something that would make the game really realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmattd Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I hit a 498 foot home run with Tony Womack, maybe that is MVP 05 with the steroid question. Yea, really. I've gotten close to that with him too. And then there is the 599 foot bomb with Sheffield, though at least he knows what a HR is... I must say, the thing that annoys me the most is the offspeed pitches in the HR game, seriously EA! I find all the people having issues getting a perfect game interesting, I have thrown 5 in the last 125 games. However, this is unreal. Come on, Carl Pavano was never good enough in his life to throw 1 perfect game, much less 2 in one month. And yea, they can get broken up in the ninth, it happens in real life. So, I see the perfect game issue as backwards for me. Its too easy. And no, these are not all on the rookie setting, or whatever the low one is. A couple of Pro, a couple of A-S. Despite the flaws, it is still a pretty good game. Just kill the BIG BOI bit, I agree with the person who said earlier that it sounds like a low-teenage guy.

RussFeathers Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 My bad with the fantasy baseball rules, it was the first one i found but it is acutally completely correct, because i went to wikipedia (yes it is reliable, kind of) and i found this Players placed on the 15-day disabled list may be moved to the 60-day list at any time, but not vice versa. Players may be placed on either disabled list retroactively for a minimum of 10 inactive days and may remain on either list for as long as required to recover. Injured players may not be traded without permission of the Commissioner nor may they be optioned to the minors, though they may be assigned to a minor league club for rehabilitation for a limited amount of time (30 days for pitchers, 20 for non-pitchers). And to add to the complaint list, how about all the damn triples the CPU gets. They hit the ball into the gap and all of a sudden they have blinding speed, but if i hit the same ball they are all over it and i only get a double.

D-Unit Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Coco Crisp. In my dynasty a while back, I was facing the Sox at Fenway and Pavano made his return...I was throwing a no-hitter late and he broke it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushywhacker Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I know its a little thing, but so fundamental. I hate that the cutoff men turn the wrong way on the relays. It just bugs me to no end.
