Is There Anyone Online That Plays Legit??!!

[steez3]

havent played much online..ive had the game since it came out but just recently got into playing online and almost everyone of my 18 games Ive played online, I have played straight cheesers. Beside the couple games ive played with my friends. I just got done playing this guy who would only throw curveballs in the dirt or extremely high curves with oswalt....Now I understand people are gonna say well dont swing and I understand what your saying but my problem is....do you know how BORING that is to sit there for 9 innings doing this? I just wanna play people that try to play as realistic as possible and im not talkin about throwin 100% in the strike zone but atleast mix your pitches up, and not try to steal every single time you get someone on first! Maybe my fellow OS peeps can help me out...If anyone is lookin for a laid back person who is usually on in the evenings or latenights on weekdays, PLEASE send me a friend request or give me your PSN and ill add you. I prefer to play with guess pitch on just because ive gotten used to it but its not a deal breaker for me, I would actually like to get used to not using it so thats not a big issue....my PSN is......Steez_3

I'm one of those guys. Play CLASSIC pitch, NEW baserunning (although I can use classic as well), everything else off. I think I've tried to steal once or twice in all my games. Don't take advantage of deficiencies in the game. I'm usually in the WEST room.....jim416

what is the difference between classic pitch and the meter? ive only used the meter, is that something that I can change and use the meter while you use classic?? and you say guess pitch location off, so is just the guess pitch still left on or no?

Classic and meter work just like in the offline game, with classic you just pick the location and hit X to pitch (increase velocity by holding X instead of just tapping). And, both players have to use the same method. Guess pitch is either on completely or off completely, there's no in between.

I've never cheated online, still have a 4 star rating with nearly 200 games played. However, I always play guess pitch off, the game plays completely different with guess pitch on (it becomes a guessing game). Offline, I like to play guess pitch with no feedback but you can't play like that online. I know you said you like to play guess pitch on, but I have to say that I've always played in the guess pitch off rooms and I have good games at least 75% of the time against people I don't know (added quite a few people to my buddy list after playing them too). Of course, I very rarely play against someone with a 2 star or less rating also.

I haven't played much online due to being deeply buried in my franchise but every once in a while I'll get on and like to play a nice "realistic game" no cheese.

I would like to invite everyone in this thread to check out my league that I am starting just for players like you. The goal of this league is as follows:

1. To put together players that:
a. Don't cheese
b. Don't quit in game or in season
c. Don't complain about lag, balls/strikes, etc.
d. are generally good sports and fun people to play with

2. HAVE FUN!

In order to do this, I will need each player to be a member here on the OS forums and have ONE other member of the OS forums vouch for you that you are a legit player. I know this seems like a pain in the butt, but in the long run, its good for all of the league members to insure that we all don't waste any more time playing cheesy games and looking for new leagues when leagues fall apart due to owners that quit.

I will start the signup/voucher thread today.

I've been playing my franchise alot, but recently started playing some games online. I had some good games so far, but alot of people play pretty cheap. If any of OSers want to get a game in feel free to hit me up. I prefer to play Classic Pitch, New Baserunning, All Star or HOF, and everything else off. I'm usually in one of the Guess Pitch Off rooms.. my psn id is Johnrg87.
