j/w, what sliders/cameras did you end up with?

3/4/2009 6:54:36 PM

How do you beat level 15 in halo wars? I opened all the hatches but one and on the last one I set up a base and clear the surrounding area but it won't let me open the last hatch?

On another note, Resident Evil 5 is fucking awesome. One of the best looking games on the system and its fun as hell.

3/4/2009 11:33:10 PM

i zoom both cameras in to 10.


for sliders:

Some more tips for 2k9:

Some people are having problems with their outfielders not catching the ball....this takes some getting used to but if you do it right, it doesnt happen. Get your ass to the landing cursor (I prefer to have the dynamic cursor off...makes it easier) and let go... your dude will catch it.

Also, if you are on the infield and you make a bad throw, it WILL pull your 1B off the bag, so be careful with the throw meter. If you can let go with it half-way through the green, you'll be fine.

I had a game last night where I was the NL All Stars vs. the AL All stars and I won 1-0 on a single by Ryan Braun in the 7th. Then I played Yankees vs. Braves...Wang vs. Lowe...i've never seen so many ground balls, and I won 3-2 on a 10th inning solo HR by A-Rod. All the other runs were scored via small ball.

Then I played Yankees vs. Orioles in a franchise and won 6-3 on a 3-run 8th inning bomb by Texiera. The game is definitely very realistic.

I played four games last night on live and my online record is now 2-2

I wish there was more time to set up the lineup, 30 seconds pushes it. I also wish it forced you to use someone other than your ace EVERY game. I'm tired of zambrano's cutters

I am really liking the game though... I like how the game forces you to be a patient hitter but also doesn't punish you if you try to belt the shit out of a first pitch fastball

3/5/2009 9:47:17 AM

PM me your gamertag so I beat you like a red-headed step child.

3/5/2009 10:14:52 AM

I'm thinking I might buy 2k9 at lunch... hopefully it's fun.

3/5/2009 1:06:59 PM

^ get me your gamertag.

I can upload my rosters and sliders to 2K Share also so that you guys can use them. Just remember the cameras make a big difference. Zoom in to 100% (10) and it will allow you to paint the corners better and see breaking balls better.

3/5/2009 1:48:02 PM

do they have the baseball cards like they did last year? i got the whole set with mad golds and platinums because of some glitch then it wasnt as fun (the card part)

3/5/2009 3:07:51 PM

My tag is the same as my name on here.

nym410

I'll probably be on tonight since I'm way too sore to actually do anything worthwhile with my life today.

they still have the cards yes

3/5/2009 4:20:21 PM

I'm downloading the sound packs from the PS3 thread that ^ posted... hope they work streaming from my computer (even though it blows having to make so many playlists) for the Mets and CitiField at the very least...

3/5/2009 11:32:08 PM

I think it's too hard to throw top shelf gas in mlb 2k9, at least on live. or maybe the white sox just don't have a guy who can throw it effectively.

I'm a pretty shitty junkball pitcher

3/6/2009 11:08:17 AM

I hit 97 with Santana and maxing out on the fastball. But mostly I sit in the low 90's (91-93). But I only played 2 games and not online...

Do you guys use pinpoint or break point (break for me) and do you use the timing influence? I actually liked the pitching last year except for the meatballs. If I use timing will that bring back all the meatballs and 450 foot HRs by the likes of Juan Pierre?

[Edited on March 6, 2009 at 12:02 PM. Reason : x]

3/6/2009 12:02:36 PM

Meatballs are gone. I use release timing most of the time...it makes it harder to throw a perfect strike. I also use breakpoint pitching. pinpoint is too easy.

I can throw serious gas with Joba Chamberlain. 98-99.

You should also turn the default pitch speed up...it makes facing guys like that very difficult. When i had to hit off of felix hernandez, i could really feel the heat. I have the pitch speed set at 90.

3/6/2009 12:57:18 PM

I dont even know what you guys are talking about with pinpoint and breakpoint

I think I need to explore the game/manual some more

3/6/2009 1:38:24 PM

it determines if where you aim is where the pitch will go, or where you aim is where the pitch will start

for example, you are a left handed pitcher throwing a slider...you aim center of the zone with Pinpoint...ball starts outside and slides to the center of the zone...now lets say you are using Breakpoint...aim for center of the zone, pitch starts in center of zone, slides inside, possibly hitting the batter

at least thats how i understand it and i havent played 2k9 yet

[Edited on March 6, 2009 at 2:10 PM. Reason : i think they had the same options on 2k8]

3/6/2009 2:10:20 PM

^ You nailed it.

3/6/2009 3:10:06 PM

breakpoint was always more fun and realistic

anyone can nail sliders on the black with pinpoint

with breakpoint, you have to learn the amount of break both vertically and horizontally for each pitcher

makes it much better

3/6/2009 3:14:53 PM

let alone that pitches break more or less depending on the "power"

i need to play the demo because everything i'm going off is my 2k8 memory

3/6/2009 3:59:19 PM

what you need to do is get a ps3 like i told your broke ass to get a few weeks ago

3/6/2009 4:07:55 PM

mlb 2k9 has a great soundtrack if I was a freshman.

in high school

3/6/2009 9:48:54 PM

FUCK BASEBALL IT IS THE MOST BORING AND NONATHLETIC SPORT EVER

AND AGAIN

you talkin about the interlocks surrounding the portal??? or something else?

3/8/2009 9:17:19 AM

if only there were some type of internet search you could do

man that'd be helpful

3/8/2009 11:11:37 AM

perhaps if i could find a FAQ on how to beat various GAMEs.

3/8/2009 12:53:10 PM

you know when i've gotten stuck at a point in a game during the last few years, amassing my 56,226 gamerscore, if i've ever gotten stumped, i've always asked TWW...never checked gamefaqs, youtube, xbox.com forums, none of those...i didnt even know they existed

/blatant sarcasm

3/8/2009 2:55:41 PM

i wish the show was on 360

if anyone here is in NY i hear theyre breaking the street date on RE5 something crazy, alot of people on my list have it and playin it all day

3/8/2009 6:01:25 PM

I thoroughly enjoyed the Wanted demo, curving bullets is pretty neat-o

3/11/2009 11:43:46 AM

I downloaded the Wheelman demo but havent played it yet

free to XBL Gold subscribers

I am fairly sure its the latest in the 'Driver' game series, which was basically the first game to give you the view that GTA stole in GTA3

3/11/2009 12:39:51 PM

I didn't know they owned the rights to that "view"

No wonder the creator of Wolf 3d is always so pissed off, imagine how much he could have made if his patent for a first person view would have gone through

[Edited on March 11, 2009 at 1:17 PM. Reason : 3]

3/11/2009 1:16:17 PM

let me simplify the point of my last post as this:

Driver: You are the Wheelman for PS1 had the view when GTA was still on the overhead 2d shit

the 2 game franchises actually take some shots at each other during the series...in Driver 2 in each of the 3 cities there were 5 "Timmy Vercellis" to kill (playing off the Tommy Vercetti name) and in GTA:SA when you go up in dude's house to steal the rap lyrics one of the gangsters is playing Driver and keeps saying "fuck you Tanner!" or something, and Tanner is the character's name in Driver

50 Cent - Blood on the Sand is an awesome game.

That is all.

3/13/2009 11:09:04 AM

ahahaha you can order madden gamerrings from jostens.com lol

3/14/2009 4:07:12 PM

wat

3/14/2009 5:12:07 PM

Just got and beat Iron Man through Gamefly, definitely a great game for turning your brain off and destroying everything that moves.

3/15/2009 12:57:59 AM

I posted it in the other thread as well, but CoD:WoW is $29.99 this week in store at K-mart. Wal-mart and Best Buy will price match with the ad.

3/16/2009 8:12:58 AM

Which of the games coming out soon do you think will be good?

Ninja Blade - played this it seems very fun
Godfather II
Wanted Weapons of fate
Wheelman
Chronicles of Riddick

3/16/2009 11:59:50 PM

im waiting for batman or fight night

3/17/2009 12:11:21 AM

The new Batman game looks sweet but its not going to be out for a while. All those games are going to be out March 24th or April 7th.

3/17/2009 3:23:31 AM

Fight Night Round 4

3/17/2009 8:02:27 AM

got MLB 2K9 yesterday...pretty dope...Twins are 1-0 after defeating the Mariners 5-2 on opening day!

3/17/2009 11:45:02 AM

Seriously though, guys.

Blood on the Sand might as well be called Gears of 50.

It's a wonderfully fun game. Definitely worth a rental since I'd imagine it's super short.

3/17/2009 12:03:27 PM

I think the Riddick game will probably be pretty good. The last one was fun and I think this new one has the old one on it as well, if I remember correctly, but I might be wrong.

3/17/2009 1:50:21 PM

I heard some good things about the Blood on the Sand game but also heard it was repetitive and nothing new so I'm debating whether I should burn it or not. I already have most the FPS's on the 360 and not a fan of fiddy so I don't know if its worth a blank dvd -dl.

ALSO NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID BASEBALL GAMES

3/17/2009 10:19:41 PM

Did you really just want to post and brag that you illegally download games?

...

congrats?

3/18/2009 8:13:53 AM

Thanks I enjoy saving tons of money but am willing to help anyone mod their systems if interested b/c I'm not really bragging. Just not sure if I should get Blood on the Sand or not. The risk factor is very low for me since I'm not paying 60$ but I still don't know if I want it.

3/18/2009 3:11:32 PM

If you burn the game and you hate it, you're out like $2 at most.

I mean, I'm Jewish dude, but come on.

3/18/2009 3:43:15 PM

Yea might as well.
