ukslamjam Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hi guys, i've been a massive MLB fan for a long time. I subscribed to NASN and i've never been more depressed!! Why because i want to play MVP Baseball! I've been reading your posts and i was wondering if you had the game yet? I'm very cautious about ordering from companies i dont know and wanted to be re-assured that sps is a good company. Go Phillies!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lual Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 hey mate ive ordered from sps myself, they seem pretty cool to me - ive even spoke to them on the phone- so they are there lol anyway, i can understand your caution - as i was the same, but email them or call them on monday and have a chat with them. check out their forums, theres alot of happy customers there if you want, as soon as i get my order (fingers crossed ) - ill give you a shout, and then you may feel more comfortable with them? and if you do get the game and have a broadband connection - give us a shout if you fancy joiining the league - the Phillies are still free cheers mate oh - if you have msn, feel free to add me lualcod@hotmail.com - im not on all the time, but you can catch me after 8 on most evenings :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukslamjam Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hey there lual, thanks for replying so fast. I'd feel so much safer knowing that someone else has recieved their copy of the game. I have broadband but i only have the basic package as i'm trying to save some cash so i can go over to the states! Anyway i hope your game comes soon and be sure to let me know ASAP!! LOL I cant wait to play it!! Laters :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnycast27 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 yeh i've also gone with sps and am i think the game will come on wednesday/thursday morning? they say it will b in stock on 1st march, so they will ship it either that day or othe next & with next day delivery it will definately arrive before the end of next week. so we could start this league in say 2 weeks ish? give every1 time 2 update rosters, uniforms and set realistic slider's for their game. am proper lookin 4ward 2 it. p.s does ne1 know if channel 5 are showin mlb again this yr? jonny gould is a legend!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyrunner Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Vinny, last April I took a trip to England right at the start of baseball season. While I was looking forward to my trip, I was a little bummed about missing the start of baseball. Well, I woke up at about 2am on a Monday morning in Liverpool (jetlagged) and started flipping through channels, and there on Channel 5 was ESPN Sunday Night Baseball....Live! I was such a happy camper! I hope you guys across the pond get this MLB coverage again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lual Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 anyone else interested in helping run and setup this league? i think we need to put some rules down? maybe decide how many games we want to play? game nights etc give me a shout if you want to contribute in anyway - either post here or on msn: lualcod@hotmail.com also, if anyone wants to suggest anything for the website, give me a shout - ive got most of it done - not much more to do until we get going though link is: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/emlb im trying to search for some free forums for us to use as well cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnycast27 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 1 game a week? or 2? 0r even 3 lol i just dont want to commit and say 3 games a week if i can't keep 2 it :oops: one thing i'd like to propose is only to play at night say 9pm GMT? being a uni student i've always got work 2 do and durin the day mvp is just too much of a distraction lol what does any1 else think about this?

ukmets Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 If we could all play at the same time that would be good, but i think if the people scheduled to play each other want to alter when it is played then that should be ok. I think we'd need 2 games a week at least to get a decent number of games played. Say play a total of about 30 games for the regular season then have playoffs. Oh and Oly we get 2 games a week live on free TV plus upto 6 games a week live on Pay TV I just checked UPS my game was sent out for delivery at 5.30am it should be with me anytime now :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disastros Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 and started flipping through channels, and there on Channel 5 was ESPN Sunday Night Baseball....Live! You'll find that Opening Day is broadcast pretty much to the whole world. On another note, Baseball Tonight just started being shown over here, it is only on Monday's though (it's been like that for a couple of years now). I have to work anyway, so I tape it.

ukmets Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 We get Baseball tonight every day sorry for going off topic :oops: just wasting time till the UPS guy turns up with my MVP although i like around the horn even more than baseball tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disastros Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 ESPN here is incredibly slack, nothing but bad quality soccer. We have our own version of PTI once a week, aprt from that, They only show stuff no one wants to watch. I hope they eventually decide to step up.

Disastros Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 We get 2 SC's a day, in the morning live (that would be the 6pm ET) and then again at night. And NFl coverage is better than average, but that is a much more popular sport then baseball over here (neither are that popular). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnycast27 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 yeh ive only had 1 email saying "yes we've recieved ur order " lol speaking of mods, so far ive installed the fox logo in top right corner coz that looks quality. and ive got KC's kits file, to update all the kits, the screen shots ive seen look awesome. and something that i have a copy of but its not a download and thats PAREDs slider settings, the mans had such a good review on his settings so its well worth applying them and giving them a go. only thing i'd like to see is more portrait pics and a perfect roster package because it seems theres a new roster update every few days lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
