always play hardcore drop7, there is no other way
root out 1s, never let un-blown-ups get above 4, cuz they could be 4s

4 ares really the most deadly

snooki stackhouse (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 August 2010 13:23 (thirteen years ago) link

4s are, that is

snooki stackhouse (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 August 2010 13:23 (thirteen years ago) link

So re 9 innings, the card situation is really confusing. Are you able to put your cards on your team? How? Or only certain ones? What good are they if you can't put them on your roster?

Mordy, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 15:46 (thirteen years ago) link

you go to the 'my cardbox', go to your team, select a card the hit 'change'

dyao, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link

I still dunno what all the percentage points do, or what they affect, or why my baseball team has cheerleaders

I thought it was really cute in the tutorial when they selected the teams for an exhibition game and the lady say "we will select the New York A and have them face Philadelphia just like in the 2009 finals"

dyao, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Whew. Finally figured it out. It was driving me crazy. (Didn't realize you could flick up to see more players.)

Mordy, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 17:32 (thirteen years ago) link

wow the 2011 version looks incredible.. it's not available in the UK store though :(

i definitely get the feeling this game was produced in east asia, the english is a little wonky (it would also explain the cheerleaders)

yeah it's south korea i think? if you have a us based credit card you can open a us itunes account and buy it that way.

dyao, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 11:44 (thirteen years ago) link

if you have itunes accounts in two different countries, can you put apps from each of those accounts on the same iPod/iPhone? or do you have to choose just one account at a time for synching?

Euler, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 11:59 (thirteen years ago) link

You can put apps from both accounts on the phone. You can't switch between accounts on the phone though, so sometimes you have to update the apps via iTunes and in-app purchase can throw a mental

well i can wait if it'll come eventually, but i wonder if there's some kind of rights issue with the players association license and international sales

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 11 August 2010 12:16 (thirteen years ago) link

thanks stet!

Euler, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 12:16 (thirteen years ago) link

When will this game be released in other app stores around the world. I'm a big fan of the original game and I'm looking forward to playing the new version.

We don't have the exact ETA yet, but we hope to bring it ASAP. Thanks for waiting

fwiw I missed a flight a couple weeks ago b/c I was playing fieldrunners with the headphones on.

anyone want to recommend an RPG

Zenonia. Skipped the first, playing the second now, not super impressed so far.

JimD, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 16:21 (thirteen years ago) link

thumbs down on zenonia. poor controls. poorly translated dialogue.

bnw, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 16:51 (thirteen years ago) link

zenonia can eat many dicks

I cannot stop playing 9 innings.

Mordy, Friday, 13 August 2010 05:13 (thirteen years ago) link

TunesAttack: this was free and they've apparently already submitted an update to Apple to let them use the songs on your phone's hard drive so I'm waiting until all that happens to get into it. nothing special so far though.

this update went live. the game itself is kind of shitty and the song mapping seems really arbitrary but w/e, the price was right. totally worth it just to see how well the library integration works; whoever makes a good game out of this is going to be Doodle Jump dev rich.

also I want this rn plz (comes out next week but since when is the iphone about delaying gratification?)

i can't stop playing 9 innings either, even though it's the old version

however i'm being driven crazy with not knowing how "smart" the game is, so i wonder if half the game is in my head or what.. for instance, i'll throw a changeup that catches the outside corner for a strike. naturally my next move is to throw another change that's a little farther outside, trying to get the guy to bite. but does the CPU psychology really work that way? another example - i try to mix up pitch and location for each batter, i.e. never throw a first-pitch fastball to three batters in a row - they'll figure it out. but will they? how smart are they, actually?

i'm having a tough time in season mode - all my guys basically suck. (and with old 9 innings there are no cards to trade up to). i tear up the league in exhibition mode though.

DoodleGods is my bitch. I've finished ep3 and now i want MOAR.

Mr Bungleow (Trayce), Friday, 13 August 2010 10:06 (thirteen years ago) link

haha I think about that too xp. like i'll throw a fastball up and inside and then a change up in the exact same place and it'll "fool" the computer. so far I've managed 10 strikeouts in a game as my high (on hard) dunno if I could ever get to 15.

I do notice that there's like a 'streakiness' variable that gets activated, like sometimes I'll swing first on every pitch and everything will be a single or a double, and then other times my guys will miss like they're pissing into the toilet at night, it's weird

dyao, Friday, 13 August 2010 12:18 (thirteen years ago) link

I completed doodle god and uninstalled not knowing that there would be more episodes. Now I don't want to have to redo every thing.

Jeff, Friday, 13 August 2010 13:13 (thirteen years ago) link

FYI n.o.v.a (ipad first person shooter) is on sale for a buck today.

dyao, Friday, 13 August 2010 13:23 (thirteen years ago) link

wait you guys play on hard??? i just play on normal. is it more fun on hard? can you do better?

one thing i wish i could do is throw over to first.

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 13 August 2010 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm playing season mode so why not just go for it imo

you can throw to first by tapping the runner icon (also you can see if he's going to steal because the runner in the icon will start to run, so start tapping furiously where the 2B icon is when you see that) (still haven't thrown anybody out yet)

dyao, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:32 (thirteen years ago) link

i too have been playing 9 innings a bunch, based off of this thread. Good recommendation!

is there a way to adjust the difficulty in season mode, once you've started? I think I'm on normal mode, but I'm 6-1 already and I don't really want to end up winning 138 games this season.

Sinbad (Z S), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:37 (thirteen years ago) link

*dorky moment* I did 138 in my head, but I just took my current winning percentage (85.7%) and applied it to 162 games, and wound up with 138.8 projected wins for the season.

YES

Sinbad (Z S), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:39 (thirteen years ago) link

(still haven't thrown anybody out yet)

ditto. haven't stolen a base either.

btw all of iD's games are on sale right now. Doom II RPG for a buck!

(still haven't thrown anybody out yet)

ditto. haven't stolen a base either.

I've stolen 2, been thrown out stealing maybe 10 times. With stolen bases, and close plays at any base, the AI is totally strict. You must be clearly, obviously, way safe. Anything else is frustrating. (glad I didn't choose the stolen base goal at the beginning of the season!)

The part I have the most trouble with is baserunning, especially in situations where you want one runner to advance and another to stay. I always end up missing the tiny icon repeatedly, and then by the time I manage to press it I'm basically just running into an out.

Z S, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link

In other words, I have lots of games where I wind up with 10-15 hits and 3 runs or something because of all the baserunning mistakes.

Z S, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link

me too! I just never try to stretch hits anymore (unless I'm using rollins, dude can run)

dyao, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link

One thing I'm worried about, though, over the course of a season - do the other teams improve as well? I'm worried because if I'm already winning most of my games at the beginning of a season, with a bunch of low-level cards, won't I just be mowing people down halfway through with a bunch of rare and platinum card players?

Z S, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link

One thing that bugs me about base advancing is that there isn't any nuance. If I want the 3rd base guy to advance to home, and there's a guy on 1st base, and hit the advance button, they both move -- which can lead to the inning ending early instead of the extra run I'm shooting for.

Mordy, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:19 (thirteen years ago) link

That's the thing, there's a way to do it - you can press the button corresponding to the baserunner you want to advance, and they'll advance by themselves and the other runner will stay. So it's possible. But unfortunately in practical terms it's very difficult to accomplish, it just never seems to work reliably.

Z S, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:20 (thirteen years ago) link

Hmmm, I'll have to mess around with it. I only ever noticed the two buttons -- the red one and the green one.

Mordy, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link

Woo. 8-8 against the Mets until the 11th inning when Ryan Howard smacked a homerun out of the park and then Brad Lidge closed down the other side (after Madsen panicked and loaded up the bases). <3 u 9 Innings
