Welcome to garcemac.com

Speaking of crap, in the same game I posted about earlier – MLB 09 RTTS – Run Home! Run Home! I get a goal I have to achieve at my next at bat. The goal is the simple Reach Base Safely. Easy enough.

So, its the sixth inning, and I’m still facing that pitcher who’s addicted to lazy sliders and, after getting the count up to 3-2 and fouling a half dozen balls off, I finally make contact. A weak little grounder right to the second baseman. That’s not my problem, though.

The game was tied 0-0. Sixth inning. Two outs. I get caught out and I’m informed Goal Failed -10 Points. Huh? You normally lose five points, but this was, apparently, a game changing situation. A game changing single with two outs? Please…

For a single to be game changing, my idiot CPU teammates would have to actually hit the ball so I could score a run. That rarely happens. 99% of the time I would be left stranded on first or second base.

Just another example of the collosal laziness at SCEA. Most realistic baseball game ever? Right…
