How realistic will the game be?

purduerowdy · 03-24-2004, 11:45 PM

I hope it is coded that no team from chicago can ever win the championship/world series. if they can, i will find the game completely unrealistic and a waste of time.

Good stuff coming from an Iowan. Tell me, when was the last time a Pro team from Iowa won anything? And I'm not including the Barnstormers

asamford · 03-25-2004, 12:03 AM

i have a feeling the game will be as real as any computer program is able to be.

purduerowdy · 03-25-2004, 12:11 AM

to answer your question... in iowa only shortyly (grad school). native chicagoan, however cards fan by heredity..

oh, and 1985 for the cards

goterps · 03-25-2004, 02:30 AM

Is it me or did the Cards NOT win in 1985? In fact if memory serves correct they suffered one of the all-time team meltdowns and disgraced themselves in the processs allowing Kansas City to win. Not throwing stones here but go back to 1982 to find a Cards World Series ring.

I think the game is not going to be very realistic for the lack of bereavement lists.

As much as it kills me to say, he's right about Chicago. The Cubs haven't won in almost a century, the Sox haven't won in over 80 years, the Blackhawks haven't won in over 60, and the Bears and Bulls look like they will join the long wait club. Boston can just shut up.

But the Art Institute and the Museum of Science and Industry are awesome.

Do you remember the exact date and time when you became the board's biggest troll? Just curious.

True, sorry.. typo.. 2 is right below the 5.

anyway, does 3 yrs really matter, when the cubs last won in, oh 1908. when you're talking about almost a century, does 3 yrs really matter?

and if we want to talk about collapses, lets discuss that cubs/marlins series last year. that was of absolute brilliance.

also, i noticed the guy who was ribbing me earlier for living in iowa is from WESTERN ILLINOIS! come on, i'm like 40 minutes drive from there, its the same damn thing.

I'm sorry. Should I have included a smiley face just to appease you? I wasn't trolling, as I didn't say anything about him. And if you also notice, when he said he was there part of school, did I say anything more?

dangarion · 03-25-2004, 12:26 PM

The game exsists, thus it is real.

Oh and how about those Iowa Cubs?!

I have no idea what your alluding to. I'm sorry you felt I was offending the guy by what I said, but I don't see him complaining about it.

thomamon · 03-25-2004, 01:56 PM

Well, if you want totally realistic you need steroids, drugs & strikes. Definitely don't want strikes!!

How can OOTP possibly be realistic? It doesn't even have the option to dive for a ball!!!!111

I was playing a game once, and someone from the stands charged the field.

And another time one of my players was harrassed, so him and a couple of my other players charged the stands. One of them was injured for 3 weeks with a beer can laceration.
