Any oldtimers still here?

@maurice91932_PSN Huh, what the wonders i missed.
-
From the beginning? No. But I have been around a long time. I think that the first version I played was on the Playstation Portable (PSP)
-
Any of you here from the golden years?
Of course! I'm "arvcpa" from the PS days, but switched over to Xbox. Good to see you again!

I remember in 4000 BC when we loaded up the PS0. It was the greatest thing I had ever seen. Og and Ug were having fun all day, until the end of time. Truly amazing times.

@Player99_MLBTS People were passionate and mean-spirited. There were regulars who you could guarantee were going to come on and get people riled up. The topics weren’t as important as the personalities. I guess you had to be there.

Just turned 50. Been playing for many years. Still enjoy it even though the eyes aren’t what they used to be

I started here with '09. Pedroia on the cover, but Triple Play '97 was my first game.
I also had MLB '99 with 989 Sports, which became 'The Show' later, I think. -
@texas10pt_MLBTS LTNS buddy!

@texas10pt_MLBTS
Hey dude, I pop in every now and then. The game is pretty bad this year but it’s baseball so here I am. Hope you’re doing well man. -
I turned 50 last week. I've owned EVERY version of the Show since it began. Only started DD 9 years and I think my reflexes have slowed a lil bit.

- Been playing since day 1

I’m 59 now, and my history with virtual baseball goes all the way back to MicroLeague Baseball in 1985. I originally picked it up while recovering from a knee injury that ultimately ended my playing days three years later. Since then, I’ve been through them all: HardBall!, Earl Weaver Baseball, Baseball Pro '98, MVP Baseball, the 2K series, and I've been playing MLB The Show since 2019.
Here’s the thing: as these games get more advanced with their graphics and mechanics, it feels like they veer further away from the actual heart of the sport. I’m a staunch traditionalist—I will always believe in the eye test over sabermetrics—and this year's release has been incredibly frustrating on that front.
All that being said, I just love baseball. Flaws and all, The Show is the one thing that keeps my mind on the diamond where it belongs.

@maurice91932_PSN bringing up some oldies but goodies. Cap collection was awful lol...The internet guy was always saying he'd beat everyone if he had decent internet and everyone was playing from McDonalds. And everyone wanted a shot at Pitching Rebel.
