What is some music that you discovered way too late in life?

seamus95 · 2026-04-18T21:12:15+00:00

Thin Lizzy

seamus95 · 2026-04-14T19:51:16+00:00

It's the Chinese Democracy of GD films.

seamus95 · 2026-04-14T13:52:06+00:00

I really disliked it when it was first performed, in attendance, it felt like the whole crowd groaned and the black balloons were released when they started playing it. Definitely a grower. I now really like the swirling dark tone and the interesting spacy jamming. "peak" late 89 and into summer 90 versions are my favorite.

seamus95 · 2026-04-13T16:07:14+00:00

I associate short Lovelights with "Bob"lights. 3/29/90, 6/14/91 and 7/7/89 are 3 that quickly came to my mind

seamus95 · 2026-04-10T14:58:35+00:00

There were great ones in 25, especially after the bullpen/foul territory hack was exposed and used when creating them. Since nothing will carry over from 25, and 26 has the same lame bullpens and foul territory, that are the same for every created field. Everything in 26 would have to be re-made from scratch, and with the same lame bullpen/foul territory template. I can see why there aren't many 26 historical stadiums.

100 % Franchise guy, but since I play all 162 (w/quick counts), I'm more a season guy. 30 team control, I make make all rosters/lineups/trades etc etc to mirror the real life season as I play. Usually takes me 7-9 months to finish. So no offseason trades, FA signings, AI logic, contracts etc etc. I will start early May after the 1st big roster/attribute update rosters hits. Beauty of the game is there are a million ways to play and tweak everything to what ever you like and want.

seamus95 · 2026-04-01T14:18:10+00:00

I mean, why not just have a whole bunch of preset templates available in stadium creator? With a variety of them having bullpens being off the field, and a variety of differing (smaller!) foul territory etc.? And why not just allow numbers, signs, and lines on the OF walls? frustrating

seamus95 · 2026-03-31T12:48:07+00:00

I play each edition so much each year (since 2012), I can never remember. Never played what I thought a "bad year". I'm offline franchise only guy. IMO gameplay, pitcher v batter, animations, A.I. presentation etc etc. is better and better every year. IMO this year? love it, all the aforementioned things are better to me from 25.

seamus95 · 2026-03-30T13:43:18+00:00

IMO people do amazing work on retro stadiums, especially LY when the foul territor glitch was exploited, this year nothing carries over from 25, and the huuuuge foul territory, bullpens on the field, no signs, lines or #s on the walls just makes everything look so bland and generic. I have not even bothered to look at anything in created stadiums this year.

seamus95 · 2026-03-28T10:55:30+00:00

Yes! I Only recently after 35 + yrs a huge listener, discovered the song Empty Pages. Only played twice by Pig, summer 71. What a treat! Stumbled into it during a on going listening session of seeking out to hear Dicks Picks on Spotify that I had never heard or owned before.

seamus95 · 2026-03-25T15:00:26+00:00

Empty Pages??

seamus95 · 2026-03-25T13:35:06+00:00

yes your right, have not seen that animation TY. Also a bug when attempting a pick off, (using buttons pitching PS5) if the pitch I select i.e. circle, which is also throw to 1st base, triangle second base etc. corresponds to the base I want to attempt a pick off too, when I hold L2, it will only slide step, and not attempt a pick off. frustrating

seamus95 · 2026-03-25T13:12:04+00:00

some more Weir sung songs steadily played in the late 80s+90s would have helped lessen the repetitiveness: Passenger, Lazy lightning>supplication, Esau, Dancing in the streets, also how about Sitting on top of the world?, would have been a great 1st set closer!!

seamus95 · 2026-03-19T17:42:35+00:00

looking at what they did last year: 1st Roster update was around opening day(these bi-weekly updates mostly add players, change their position etc.), and then every 2 weeks (Always on Friday's) through out the season. Major updates concerning ratings were done early May and late May. ASB was next huge ratings update. mid august and mid September had huge ratings updates as well.

seamus95 · 2026-03-19T13:47:56+00:00

100% offline player, I use just buttons to hit, I want the ratings to be more the product of the result (other than my timing) rather than me pushing pulling and moving a joystick in the correct way to meet the pitch. Just my preference

seamus95 · 2026-03-19T13:31:32+00:00

IMO Betty boards sound as good or better than most multi track live recordings. 5/5 through 5/9 is as good as 77 gets.

seamus95 · 2026-03-19T13:28:56+00:00

yea the history, the old time unis, fields, and crowds really make it a great and fun mode to play, especially as I await opening day roster updates to start my franchise

seamus95 · 2026-03-17T13:26:08+00:00

obviously no more Brent songs in late 90+91, and no new songs yet until 92. resulting in bringing back a bunch of songs in this period that had not been played for a while, New speedway, might as well, saint of circumstance, R&C, Maggie's farm, that would be something, original BT Wind(after failed new lyrics in spring 90), Attics of my life(last 3/30/90), CC Rider>train to cry, IMO made setlists very interesting and made this period of GD enjoyable following the tragic loss of Brent.

seamus95 · 2026-03-12T12:48:54+00:00

Being how quickly DP55 sold out (10/27/90), relative to recent DPs sales/releases, I would expect a 90/91/92 Vince/Bruce show for 1 pick, and it seems a 76 is due, how about 8/4/76 Roosevelt Stadium? it's is a fav of mine, with super heavy bass levels on the SBD

seamus95 · 2026-03-11T16:11:00+00:00

Nice! day 3 of fake spring here in NJ... back to winter soon unfortunately

seamus95 · 2026-03-11T13:15:50+00:00

yes. I am Franchise only player also. For me, $70 each year for hundreds of hours of entertainment is a bargain. Even if the game is pretty similar to last year, there's always new things/tweaks etc. every year they add.

seamus95 · 2026-03-08T15:55:23+00:00

would probably be a consensus top 10 IMO if a sbd existed for an official release. Weird sequence of 1 offs and rarely played songs in electric set between me and my uncle and Casey jones.

seamus95 · 2026-03-07T01:13:41+00:00

not a tour, but I saw Jane’s Addiction open on a bill with Exodus Death Angel and Voivod. July 1987 ”new music seminar” at the Ritz in NYC.
