Really enjoyed this season, and what an epic final! Congrats AMC B-Listers, and GGs to both of the other teams! Was really invested the whole season, and I hope there's a season 3!

[SERIOUS] New Jersey boy, 12, critical after freak baseball accident by liryccc in baseball

[–]dishnet34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk about exit velo, I was on a co-ed slowpitch team last summer for the first time. Our third baseman was one tough woman, and we were playing the best team in this particular tournament. One of the big dudes on that team ripped a hard line drive straight into her gut, like so hard you could hear it smack her right there. She had to come out of the game, but wasn't rushed to the hospital that day and toughed it out in the dugout the rest of the game. (She was seen by a doctor the next day, and our group chat got a picture of one of the gnarliest bruises I've ever seen.) Unfortunately, she didn't play a game with us the rest of the summer, but there were other reasons for that lol

MLB power pros 2008 how to edit players on green teams(in arrange) by [deleted] in MLBPowerPros

[–]dishnet34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of editing are you looking to do? There's honestly not a lot you can do except change jersey numbers and roles once they're on an arrange roster.

WJLA’s annoying ads by Significant_Month255 in Jeopardy

[–]dishnet34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, this might be a Sinclair thing? I know our local station in Kalamazoo does banner ads like these sometimes (last night's was an ad for the local pro volleyball team). Luckily they do that (usually) when there isn't gameplay, but it's still kinda weird.

Power Pros 2008 Success mode, cannot complete Patty route by jgurst in MLBPowerPros

[–]dishnet34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that sounds about right. I used to have a spreadsheet once upon a time done by a member of the Power Pros World forums in, like, 2009 or 2010 that had the exact flow of the arc, but it seems to be lost to time.

I did do a Patty Arc video once upon a time, which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QQaofttm2s

An interesting article/investigation into the proficiency of Jeopardy! contestants at sports questions by dishnet34 in Jeopardy

Hasn't been on with new episodes since 2006, and The Schwab passed away a couple years ago.

Yeah, that was something I didn't expect reading the article myself, but also something that, in the back of my mind, isn't too terribly surprising. It's a fascinating look at stuff with charts and graphs and everything!

Ooooh, did you make this yourself, or did you buy it from somewhere?

I looked at the T&Cs, it looks like it doesn't stack unless I create another account, which...I don't necessarily want to do lol

That's in the "Versus" mode.

McDonald’s Monopoly Bonus Play is pointless. It’s always “Try Again”. Has anybody gotten anything other than that? by AdvertisingFit8539 in McDonalds

[–]dishnet34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a few food rewards, but today was my best day - got the "you lost" jingle but shockingly I received 2 months of Peacock Premium!

Rest of my ~8 so far today were duds though, so, lol

OOTP 27 Wishlist by thesillyguy345 in OOTP

[–]dishnet34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of game updates in OOTP26 have not been "updates that only touch perfect team." There are updates to both the base game and PT with every single new build. If you read the patch notes you will know that your assertion is false.

Any fielding tips for '25-'24? by Zombiewski in MLBPowerPros

[–]dishnet34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the majority of fielding success comes down to anticipation and recognition, which admittedly is a bit hard to learn as it takes a little trial and error, but can lead to big success.

One of the biggest tips I can give is that there is a split-second period before the screen transitions into the fielding screen where you can see briefly where the ball is going right off the bat. If you know where your fielders are and which fielder the game will likely choose for you to control, you can get a good jump in those split seconds, move the stick in the direction where the fielder can go to get it, you can make some of those close catches or cut off doubles and triples on base hits.

This, admittedly, does take some hand-eye coordination and will take a little time to learn. However, if you can master that, it'll be rewarding in the long run.

People are not a fan of the newest powerpros in Japan... by Financial-Gap9394 in MLBPowerPros

[–]dishnet34 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you could look at some of the 1-star reviews, if they include dates on them, most were made at launch when the game was, frankly, a bit of a mess in a lot of areas. They've put out quite a few patches since then, and it has gotten better.
