QUOTE (Tmar @ May 6, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Is that SCEA or OS? Because that's pretty good.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 6, 2014 -> 02:56 PM) That's brutal man, If they had auto save to the HDD they might as well had auto save to the cloud. IIRC, the PS4 does not read thumbdrives. If it did, I could just manually save my data to the USB off my PS3, then plug that thumbdrive in to the PS4 and copy it over. But that would have been too easy.

Ooooh, son of a b****. So you know how you can move your saved data from your PS3 Show saves to the PS4? Well you have to actually upload your data to the cloud IN-GAME on the PS3. The cloud-created saves you get from having PS+ on your PS3 do not count. You need to fire up The Show on your PS3, save it to the cloud IN-GAME, and then it will work. Well guess what, I just traded my game in last night. Son of a f***ing f***. So now I have to go rent the damn PS3 version for like 2 minutes just to do this. What a f***ing pain in the ass. Would have been nice to know that information beforehand.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 5, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) Definitely a big boy bat I'm assuming $60 was a fair deal for it.

Why is everyone scared about paying Rodon for 1-1 money? If we had truly tanked even worse last year and ended up with the #1 pick, we would be paying anyone we chose 1-1 money. I get that our draft pool size is not as big at #3 as it would be at #1, but s***, if it means we punt our 4th RD pick to make up the difference, then the hell with it.

Just picked up my copy BTW. Installing the PS4 system update 1.70 now, then I have to install the game, then I have to mow my grandma's lawn, then I have a softball game, then I had the Hawks game to watch. I probably won't even get to throw a pitch until around midnight tonight.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:08 AM) OS rosters always come with two things. A generated player face and not a picture. Unrealistic player faces. Does Jose Abreu have a picture in the game? Does he look like Jose Abreu? My interest in the game this year entirely revolves around him. If you just wanted Jose Abreu's picture, you would wait until the first roster update for the PS4. But SCEA doesn't actually take the time to make his face in game, they just throw a generic face on rookies. However, the guys at OS are actually making a real face for Jose, it just won't include his real life picture.

All of the geographical AL/NL rivals play a Monday-Thursday 2 and 2 series. It's not just the Sox/Cubs, it's Yankees/Mets, Giants/A's, Dodgers/Angels, etc. Why can't they just make all these a Friday-Monday, or Thursday-Sunday series instead though? Do they figure they will take advantage of average weekday series' by giving them bigger story lines to boost the attendance?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:56 AM) Has anyone played this yet? The YouTube videos curiously don't have Jose Abreu in any White Sox lineups which have me concerned that we're going to get a generic face for the AL's HR and RBI leader. I'd return this b**** without opening it if that's the case. Why would you play with anything but OS rosters?

With how clutch that Semdog Millionaire has been, it's hard to believe he leads the team and is near the top of MLB in strikeouts. The dude either strikes out, or gets a big hit, apparently.

I'm somewhat surprised he won Rookie of the Month. I'm SHOCKED he won Player of the Month. Statistically, he didn't deserve either. But the voters have never let statistics get in their way before. Congrats, Yogi!

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 5, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) Anybody know if Gamestops are going to be open tonight for the release? I highly doubt it. However, Walmart and Meijer should sell them to you at midnight. That's where I usually go for midnight releases.

Got my softball bat. Bought it for $60. It's an Easton Stealth Comp CNT SCN9 - 34in, 28oz.

We have 4 chromecasts in our house and we love them. We use the s*** out of the Youtube, Netflix, and HBO Go capability.

QUOTE (lizard6king6 @ May 5, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) NHL 15!!! http://www.goodgamebro.com/2014/05/05/nhl-...tures-revealed/ Love the new commentary!!! EDDIE O!!!!! Whoever writes that feature set did an amazing job, because that game sounds ridiculous. I can't wait for the NBC Sports presentation. That's my issue with more current sports games is that presentation usually sucks.

Yes, the OS rosters are out. Yes, there are probably reviews of The Show '14 PS4 somewhere. And Gamestop wouldn't take my PS3 today because at somepoint someone dropped my PS3 and the bottom piece broke off, so it is currently held on with electrical tape. They said they can't take it if the shell is damaged, so I'm out of luck there. But on the plus side I got $60.10 for a PS3 controller ($10.50), MLB 14 the Show ($40), and MLB 13 The Show (9.60). For whatever reason I did not get charged tax, so I will get The Show '14 PS4 for free.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 5, 2014 -> 12:10 AM) You can check trade-in values at cheapassgamer.com: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/330257-...titanfall-more/ Damn, what a nice resource. Thanks! So I guess the 40% trade in stuff excludes systems. Damn. Looks like I should get.... PS3 (refurbed) - $40 (+10%) - $44 PS3 controller - $7.50 (+40%) - $10.50 PS3 A/V cable - $2 (+40%) - $2.80 MLB 13 The Show - $6 (+40%) - $8.40 MLB 14 The Show - $25 (+40%) - $35 Total - $100.70 That's good with me, considering the extra PS3 is pretty much useless to me. It can't be used for more than about 20-30 minutes without overheating warnings and "SHUTDOWN IMMINENT" messages. The MLB 14 price is just a guess. That site didn't even list the game because it is so new.

Tomorrow, I plan on trading in an extra PS3 (has overheating issues, hopefully Gamestop won't notice), extra PS3 controller, and The Show '14 and using a friend's Pro membership thing to get 40% extra on the trade-in towards pre-ordering The Show '14 for PS4. Would be cool to get at least $65 for all of it to pay off The Show. I have a feeling I won't get much for the PS3 though given that it is a FAT model (although, the 60 GB version, which was the best they made), because it has a crack on the front held together by black electrical tape, and because it has been repaired for overheating....twice. If I get don't at least $20 just for the internal parts alone, I'll probably just try to sell it online for someone who would rather piece off the working parts.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2014 -> 12:54 PM) At the lower levels, I have no idea what we have to be honest. I believe Sammy Ayala is the only interesting young catcher we have. IIRC, he was a HS kid that we drafted late and threw a good amount of money at to convince him to sign. He may be a switch-hitter, but I can't remember.

QUOTE (TRU @ May 1, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) So since there is going to be quite a few of us with Playstation 4's and MLB The Show, how about we get a Soxtalk online franchise set up? I'd be down if it was using OS rosters and fantasy draft? That way our 2 franchises won't be the exact same and we won't have to fight over who gets the Sox.

I love you Minnesota. AND NOW I HATE YOU.

Micah's OBP is over .450. IS THAT GOOD?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 04:04 PM) I think this is the much better solution. Viciedo, if what we've seen so far this year is real, is a much better option at DH than V-Mart. Melky Cabrera could be a really nice pick-up for LF. Switch hitter and since 2011 he is probably hitting about .315

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 04:01 PM) I wonder what crazy GM would be stupid enough to pay a 39 year old DH $15 million for a year. We will find out.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 03:58 PM) For what, 2 years? That's a contract you might be able to stomach, but even that's an overpay. That's pretty much assuming V-Mart's a 3 win player. He's not. 2/$30+, maybe 3/$45+
