Denied for years, then it happens twice (no hitter)

VARoadstter · 08-27-2016, 02:18 PM

Had to share that I've been an OOTP guy for years and had never had a game I was managing with my starter pitching a no hitter. This season, Gio Gonzales has done it twice already (April 5th and May 14th). Now I want to get the perfect game to go with it!

Congrats! It took me years to get my first as well.

I had Stephen Strasburg throw a perfect game and a no-no in the same year. But in 6 years those two were the only ones I've seen directly.

1 time I was playing OOTP 12 as the Padres, and had Aaron Harang throw a perfect game on Opening Day, then a month later throw another one with 14 K's. Haven't seen a no no or perfecto since

Been a regular here since OOTP 9. Still no-hitter-less.

My very first OOTP was 2001 (got every version since) my first came in 2014 so it took me literally 13 years to get a no-hitter and my first perfect game came this year.

In my 15 seasons manually played in my MLB Quickstart league, I've had 2-no hitters. The first one happened in my 5th season, the second in my 11th season. Definitely just achievable enough to always be in mind once I get to the 7th inning, but still rare enough to feel really special.

I'm just happy if my pitcher no-hits through 3. Makes it a lot easier to pitch the rest of the game. the closest I've been to a no-no was the 7th inning.

I have to brag about mine again...

saw this post today and was thinking I had never gotten one in a game I played, tho I had simmed a combined one for the all-star game

then today, opening day, my big free agent signing Jose Fernandez gets one

against the Marlins even, to add insult to injury

NYYANKS98 · 08-29-2016, 11:10 PM

I've only had one perfect game or no no (I've had 16 for a bit over a year and 300+ hours played) and I don't play out games too often. In my Brewers rebuild I traded Braun and some low level prospects to win now KC for Brandon Finnegan who had 5 potential and a couple other decent prospects who I think I ended up flipping later. Finnegan became a starter in my first or second season, putting up a 4 ERA. However, the next year he hit his potential, threw a perfect game after a poor April and then became my ace with a couple Kershaw-like seasons that won MVPs and had an undefeated season of 23-0. He's had some bad luck the past couple years on 100ish win teams but I think he still currently is the all time win percentage leader.

I've had 1 Perfect game (that i can remember). I've been playing since v4 and just got one on 17!
