vinnycast27 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 to my knowlegde there is very little baseball played across europe at a very high level of play. i know there was some tournament last year because a channel 5 presenter spoke about it n i think germany won or somthing? :S neways, i got into baseball when one day i got home from a night out was a sunday i think and flicked through channels n there it was on 5 baseball! and like baard i stayed up till 330am n saw yankee's beat some1. ever since i've recorded the 2 live games shown on sunday and wednesday nites and watch them the next day. coz waitin till 1/2am to watch baseball is a little over the top for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetsDrummer Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 When I was in London this summer, my dad and I got to watch a Yankees vs A's game. It was strange being in England and watching baseball. Of course the ******* Yankees won. How much does the European media mention baseball? Do they talk about the World Series?

baardhimself Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 quality is brilliant, i have a 512k connection and i sit on my bed and watch it is like tv quality. it cost $75 for the entire season (including playoffs and world series and i think all star games) which is amazing value as im normally watching 3 odd games a night when i can. as for oakland i was getting into baseball and the oakland chat room was the only one that was running on mlb.com and i went in there and all the guys explained the rules and that so i adopted them as my team :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnycast27 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 well channel 5 have been bloody awesome with their coverage of mlb. and the main presenter jonathon gould is a LEGEND. apart from channel 5 showing 2 live games a week there is literally no coverage at all......well in the uk that is. i wish it was on every night but i guess they cant afford the tv rights or something... the world series is obviosuly mentioned just not that much in early season. becausse alot of uk viewers r not too familiar with the rules etc..... they try to explain things more and spend time explaining wat words like RBI, ERA mean etc...... im really lookin 4ward to the new season now with all this baseball talk!

thommo2 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 do you know when it comes out in the UK? Vinnycast is right .. the game won't get released in Europe. Here's a place in the UK that's got a good reputation for being reliable (but not cheap I'm afraid) for buying imported games. MVP Baseball 2005 PC-CD Rom is £29.99 It's due in stock 1st March. according to the website. http://www.sps-systems.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnycast27 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 yeh thommo's right sps is ur man guys. but to say its expensive is a bit harsh £35 for a game is about par i'd say. maybe console games go up to £40 but 35 seems reasonable. and after waitin sooo long 2 play it, id probably pay 50 if i could get it by tomorrow mornin lol i just hope many bugs have been fixed be4 my game arrives so i can jump str8 into my owners mode glitch free :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukmets Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Thommo that is cheap for an import, considering importing it myself will cost £24 before import duty if they decide to sting me. $29.99 + $15 postage So to get it for £30 from a shop in the UK is outstanding. New age consoles are selling it for around £50, the PS2 version is £52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lual Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 personally ive watched baseball on and off on channel 5 for a couple of years - but after getting a copy of MVP 2004, i learned alot more about the game, and enjoyed watching it alot more i think alot of UK people dont understand the game, thats why its nots popular - plus the fact the games are shown at 1am, and finish around 5 or 6 lol, it dosent really fit into our schedules. ideally channel 5 would show a primetime hourly recap once a week or something? anyway, as for a team - i adopted the Orioles, basically because that was my first team on MVP2004 lol - unfortunately they are on TV about once a year lol - but now we have sammy, maybe things will change hopefully i can get the game from that SPS - and by the time i get it, there should be some good rosters and mods to use - fingers crossed :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmets Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I'm in for the league, Mets alll the way. I can't believe the spring training games start showing next week on NASN, and the Mets are on twice next week too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I was a bit hard there ... I was thinking back to last year- my wife was going the states in September and I was going to wait but I couldn't hold out so I bought it off e-bay in the states in April and got it - delivered and all... for £18.

Hesselinho Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hi! My name is Chris and I'm from Germany. I play MVP Baseball 2005 since Thursday. It's great! Just now I played online. It was ok but my connection was very worse. Although I have a very good PC and a fast DSL connection...?!? Sorry, my english is very bad... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnycast27 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 its good enough mate , what internet connection do you have? i only have 300k connection, so im not sure if i will be able to play online either. we'll just play an exhibition game over the net one day and see how fast/slow it is lol im sure we;ll sort something out. by the way what team would you like to be in our league..... to my knowledge OAKLAND, SEATTLE, NY METS AND ORIOLES have been taken i think......take a pick from any other side.... 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
