This is the first perfect game I have ever thrown, a 63 pitch one against the A's with my 09 The Show player. My LHP dominated their stupidly LHB lineup [seriously they had 7 LHB] with his 99 mph cutter and running fastball, mixing in a few curves and splitters and using the circle change as the strikeout pitch.

Seriously I was so happy to do this, I must have pitched 2000 games since I first bought MVP 2005. I once threw a no-hitter with Joel Pinero in MVP [?!?!?!?] but I have never had perfection, until now.

Bwhahah!

Heh, I had a one hitter with Joel in MVP 2005.

it would have sucked if Gutierrez or Ichiro got POTG after that performance

Yeah, that's my character who is also me although I made him 6 foot 10 instead of my own 5 foot 8 because I want to be tall and this is how I live out my sick fantasies.

I got really bored of Road to the show, I made a hitter though

They also didn’t have my first name in the database, so they announce me on the PA as “Big Dawg”

Luckily Jason Bartlett and I share the same last name so since he came into the league they know how to say my name.

That is pretty impressive.

I don’t think I have done that in any video game version.

I once threw a perfect game against a friend

in MVP ’05. The whole game from the first pitch on I told him I was going to do it too. Almost hit a guy but luckily made an absolutely terrible pitch and threw it behind him.

by Clown baby on Jul 16, 2009 9:22 PM PDT reply actions

I threw one or two in MVP 05 with Pedro over the years.

And I just threw a perfecto with Bedard in The Show 09, actually. It was miraculous.

Awesome user name, by the way.

How in Christ's name did you throw a perfect game in the Show?

The best I’ve done in that game is a CG 5-hit 10K shutout with Felix. I’m lucky to get out of a game with less than 3 runs against. The pitching is bugfuck insane difficult.

by Aaron Campeau on Jul 17, 2009 1:02 AM PDT up reply actions

I'm great at pitching but I am absolutely terrible at hitting. I think hitting is really difficult in The Show compared to other baseball games.

It's tough for me because I'm incredibly impatient.

I find drawing a walk really difficult as well. I guess it doesn't help that I always pick the M's and their crappy offence...

The hitting is way more difficult than years past, but the pitching has been amped way up in terms of difficulty this year it seems.

by Aaron Campeau on Jul 17, 2009 1:21 AM PDT up reply actions

It's taken a long time, but I've gotten used to it.

I sped the pitches up a notch, which I found to be helpful. I was swinging at breaking balls about three minutes early.

by Teej on Jul 17, 2009 9:05 AM PDT up reply actions

I think I had five balls caught at the warning track.

Full disclosure: I was losing too many games, so I’ve been playing with the sliders a bit. I made the pitching a little bit easier, but only by a click or two on the slider. It was just a really lucky game. Against a bad Colorado offense.

by Teej on Jul 17, 2009 8:56 AM PDT up reply actions

I play on HoF with some slider adjustments.

I don’t know, I am sure I am doing something wrong in terms of my approach.

by Aaron Campeau on Jul 17, 2009 1:49 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm new to The Show this year. Or maybe I just suck. But I play on whatever the second difficulty level is.

by Teej on Jul 17, 2009 1:53 PM PDT up reply actions

Really? On my Mariners franchise, Bedard is terrible.

I had to trade him Shaun Marcum and David Purcey

Wow, throwing a Perfect with Bedard deserves some kind of special PS3 trophy. I always give up a tonne of hits with him.

Gareth Brierley might be the most English name I've ever heard.

Gareth is a Welsh name sadly. I am not proud of this fact.

No kidding? I must've gotten the wrong impression from Gareth on the office.

What name would you prefer instead?

Also, what would the most British name of all time be? I bet something with -shire in it, like Reginald Shropshire-Hockney or something.

I've thrown one no hitter

In The Show 08 with Kyle Lohse in his first start after i signed him from free agency as a stop gap.

That experiment went swimmingly.

by PShwa on Jul 16, 2009 11:59 PM PDT reply actions

One day i got extremely high

and threw 3 no-hitters in a row on MVP 05. The middle one was a perfect game too.

I threw a couple no-hitters with Felix in MLB 2K8.

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?

by Benne on Jul 19, 2009 8:03 AM PDT reply actions

Brings back memories.

I threw a Perfect Game with 18K’s with Moyer on MVP ’05. Ironically I was playing as the Phillies and traded to get him.

Also, did you know, with a Power Left Handed Bat you can pretty much hit HR’s every time on ’05. Hence why I was the Phillies; Jim Thome.

OOOOOH!!!!! That was NASTY!!!!!!!!

GAH

I can’t believe it, I was taking a no hitter into the 9th in a game today against the Tribe, only for Jeremy fucking Reed to break it up with a liner to right. Ended up getting a 1 hitter, but getting a no-no and a perfecto in the same [game] month would have been pretty awesome.

I remeber I had a no-hitter going into the 8th againts the Padres in interleague play broken up by Mike Timlin. MIKE TIMLIN! He was in relief, I dont even know why they let him hit. That game still haunts me.
