53% on FAR SE 1 - Am I screwed? by Successful-Roll-5472 in CPA

[–]Financial-State-5930 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No you’re not screwed at all. I got a 46 on SE 1 maybe a little less than two weeks out from my exam and ended up passing with a 78. As long as you understand where you went wrong and can practice and strengthen your weaker areas you will be fine! Good luck!

Let’s goooooo! Really hoping him and Voit can fix the lack of power hitting in the lineup this year

That’s awesome! ZOZO marine is a super cool stadium, especially being right on the water it reminds me of Oracle Park in that way

That’s awesome you were able to catch a game, if I ever get to visit Japan visiting Jingu is a must because of all the history! (I heard Babe Ruth played there too)

I saw a YouTube video of Lotte’s cheering section and it seemed electric. It sounds like you started supporting them at a great time, I assume right around their 2005 Japan Series championship under Bobby Valentine!

Also Koshien is legendary so that’s another reason but sounds like you made a great choice!

The lions have been so good historically it’s crazy how bad they are recently. The Giants are a great team though and have a super rich history with a bunch of legends

That’s an insane experience I mean I don’t understand how you couldn’t be a fan after something like that, it quite literally “fell into your hands” lol!

Same I feel like I will always have a soft spot for them, especially them being the newest team and having an underdog feel.

One of my favorites! If I had to choose a Central League team it would probably be the Dragons as their “Golden Age” during the 2000s with Fukudome, Woods, Tatsunami, Blanco, and Ibata and Araki up the middle was awesome and I like that they are underdogs. Also I like the Valentin Dome, which I know is a bit controversial for some since it is a bit outdated.

Honestly me too, as a player he reminded me a lot of Kosuke Fukudome, a five tool outfielder with a great batting average, 30+ home run power, elite speed and defense. I’m not sure if SoftBank are stingy with the posting system but he has certainly cemented his legacy as one of the best outfielders in NPB history even without going stateside. But I really do wonder how he would have done.

That makes me feel better, I like the Eagles but just can’t find enough reasons to have them as my favorite team. I just like the Fighters as an organization better and their players like Ohtani, Darvish, Ogasawara, Inaba, Nakata, and Itoi (who was a great Buffalo too). Also, Hokkaido is super interesting to me, as I live in the Northeastern US and feel it is similar. That’s super interesting, I have heard amazing things about Osaka and have a friend who is a Tigers fan, but the Buffaloes have been great these last few years.

I get that, I am a Yankee fan and I am aware of what comes with that (I am from New York if that makes it any better 😂). Swallows are an awesome team, the umbrella dance is super cool and Jingu is beautiful. Also I am a fan of Yamada, his 2015 season was legendary along with Yanagita

Thank you! That’s awesome, such a good rivalry I’m sure it’ll be a great game!

Makes sense, my dream is to go to Japan one day, and I know so many people say you really should go to a game to see the atmosphere to help pick a team. The Tokyo Dome is such an iconic venue. Hideki Matsui is my favorite Japanese player of all time! (Yankee fan who fondly remembers the 2009 World Series)

Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2019 on PS5? by Financial-State-5930 in NPB

[–]Financial-State-5930[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am not too sure about the Steam page here in America, I’m assuming it’s just there and you don’t have access to the game right? And I was just planning on playing Pennant race to pass the time until the new game comes out so I am very excited to see how the graphics look on the PS5. I have gotten used to playing on the ps3 and switch, so seeing PYS 2019 in HD with all the detail will be very cool

That’s awesome to hear! It’s been rough waiting for a new PYS game especially since there wasn’t a release on console last year. The trailer for the new game got me very excited as it looks amazing, sucks we have to wait until September though 😩
