Little League World Series: Championship Series on NES is still one of the best Baseball games I've played.

I'll defend it some. A lot of people on these forums are being hyperbolic calling the game "unplayable". I played 4 online games last night (3 Battle Royal games and a Ranked Season game) as well as 3-4 Conquest games. None of my online games ended 1-0 or 2-1. I scored 4+ runs in each one except one of the BR games which I lost. I felt I was rewarded for the times I made good contact and didn't really feel cheated any. I didn't come across any defensive glitches or crazy animations (although I have in previous sessions just none last night).

My one complaint which is made all the time here is the pitching. Between umps squeezing you with the zone and now it is much harder to hit location the pitching could use some tweaking.

Other than that I had a fun night playing. When I did play pre patch I felt the game was rewarding poor swings at a much higher rate and it was nearly impossible to strike batters out. So far I am enjoying it, but maybe I have just not ran into the issues others have.

I’ll admit it when he doesn’t get hits outside the zone and early ok homeruns

So when you are about to win a game because you scored a couple runs off of hits outside the zone I guess you quit and give your opponent the win right?

I am hoping he has a throw down with the other team option when you get mad.

Scenario:

Moral of the story:
The Show is a terrible game. I literally won the game in 9th inning

Except you didn't.

I went to the bottom of the 9th earlier in the year winning 6-2. My opponent had 3 hits up to that point with 2 being solo HRs. Opponent proceeds to hit 5 straight HRS off of 2 pitchers on about 12 pitches to walk it off.

I still log on and have fun.

Sandlot rules. You lost the ball so its an out.

It seems like there should be a collect monthly Zimmerman card somewhere that once locked in would let you unlock stage 2

This forum is the same every year during the first month. Can't wait for all the cry babies to finally shutup and stop playing.

@ClutchAK47 said in Duplicate sales vs exchange for rivals:

For team affinity, my method (and there may be a better one, but this has been my cheapest approach) is this:
Ten 79 overall exchanges
Two 73 overall exchanges
Usually cost between 6500-7000 per 10 affinity points earned using the buy now method. If you post buy orders and are patient it will cost around 5,000 stubs

I have been hunting sub 300 78s overalls. I think it takes 12 or 13 of them plus 1 card worth 800 exchange points to get to 50,000

Sometimes I can find them for as little as 270. Sometimes they are right around 300. Either way it is about 4,000 stubs per 50,000 exchange points.

@Boneman05 said in Lacking content.:

It will suck this year if they don't do alot of content because of no baseball people are going to get board quick if it is anything like the 1st inning.

I just don't understand the lack of content complaint. Events, BR, and ranked season are always available.

Don't like DD, play ranked online, or join an online league.

Don't like online? Fine, there is March to October, Road to the Show, Franchise, or just try and get the top score in the Weekly Challenge.

Love my cajun people!! Might not hear this ever from a real NYC head but one of the few places I would move out of state to is Louisiana for sure. Love everything about it and is my home away from home. Being raised during crack era NYC Brooklyn to be exact is that nothing but the tea is sweet down there.At the same time the love is real if the respect is given.Same up.top over here

That's great to hear. We definitely are a warm and welcoming bunch. There are a lot of things to love about the state. Living here all my life I still love our food scene. I take it for granted until I travel elsewhere.

My niece goes to St. John's in Queens so I have made several trips up to NYC and have spent time in probably every borough but Brooklyn. Love everything about big city life. It is quite a culture shock coming from the South though.

So, I'm NOT the only over-50 gamer here!

Im only 33, but been playing video games since I could hold a controller so my gaming started in the late 80s

@KingsCountyOG718 said in Deff right about Canada though.
.
Peter and Albert were huge HR threats and then you could sub in Mickey and Floyd to give your team even more power.

I also forgot their pitcher was also Skill 5 so they were great top to bottom.

@teamJambon said in Homerun overlay:

Is still not fixed.

If they can’t fix such a small and simple feature, I don’t think we can expect a proper fielding/pitching patch for this year...

Do you Code? You don't have the first clue about how simple or complex it may be to fix it.

Remember how nasty Chinese Tai pe was?? Bunch of fast asians with some short fat ramen bowl power hitters?? Lol Gameplay was no joke and smooth.Especially for then!!!

They were certainly a top team. I always felt Team Canada was the best team with the amount of Power Hitters in their lineup. They had a lot of speed as well as their fielders all had great arms.

Usually when I played with friends we had to ban Canada from being selected for a more competitive game.

@Dr_ShortBusDaddy said in [8xp per homerun in HRD]

Bottom line is no one should cheat the game

I wouldn't call it "cheating". In an effort to reward its users with gaining experience no matter what mode they played it was an oversight at how one mode could be grinded.

It was an efficient way to gain experience that SDS had in the game. It was clearly not what they intended but I wouldn't call it cheating.

@pbake12 said in Final 3rd inning boss revealed:

Not sure who’s idea it was to have these bosses be improved versions of cards we already have this early in the game? There are so many other legends I know they have the rights to that don’t have a single card yet. Weird move.

Maybe other legends will get cards higher than 93-95 which is about the level the are currently releasing cards at.

Never played that one. SNK Baseball Stars was my favorite.

It seems Little League World Series which came out a year later was built on the same engine as SNK Baseball Stars.

This I didn't know.

I just looked at screenshots of SNK Baseball and it looks identical. I may have to play it just to compare the two.
