Any oldtimers still here?

Good to see y’all. Funny thing I am 71 now and moved from Texas (ugh) to Indiana after I retired last year. In about 3 weeks time I have a lineup of 99’s and all but Altuve are P5 lol. I’ve been playing Co-op with a friend and we only have 2 losses. Yeah y’all remember CardinalBird5 from back in the day. He was the top player online I think until 18 the softball version came out and he quit. I still think 17 was the last great game for online play even if late was great lol.

Big ups to the geezers in here. I’m 47 and was about give up the game, but hearing yall in here makes me think, f it. I’ll be here for MLBTS40. Lol

@texas10pt_mlbts I had forgot all about late is great. Those were the days.
I also remember Cardinalbird. If I recall, I think he was a former minor leaguer.

I'm confused about the MLB 18 softball reference? The grind of that version coupled with the changes in RTTS that year caused me to hang it up before May was over.

I think it's because pitch speeds were slow that year. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong because I'm old...
-
The softball version was because that game played like a slow pitch softball league with grown men playing on little league fields. Pitch speeds were slower, but it was a homerun derby. Every swing was either an out or a homerun.

Thanks for the explanation. As I said I quit really early that year. Also, I don't notice year to year changes in things like that compared to ohhers

I'm 62 (gulp). Been playing MLBTS since the early days. Strat-O-Matic when I was a kid. I learned that game from my grandfather - he had a mid-1960's version of the game. I wish I would have kept that.
MLBTS 40? I'll be 76. If they fix TA, I'll be here (@ericulous1_xbl )

@MarioMendoza935_XBL 61 here. I always wanted Strat O Matic from when I first saw it advertised in the yearly Street & Smith magazine but I ended up getting Superstar Baseball from Avalon Hill since I saw it at a toy store in the mall. Solid game with lots of legends.

Yep as the other fellas said, pitches were unbelievably slow that year. That was my reference to Softball

Im here since its Playstation days day 1.
