I will be sending all of you league info in the next few days.

We have enough guys left where I think we might be able to pull off two leagues. But I would have to run this by TO, I'm not exactly sure we have the man power for two leagues. I would be willing to pull double duty, but i would need some help for sure. Or, we could just do the farm league like TO said. I'll leave it up to you guys on this list to help me with this side if you really wanna do it. I would bet that if we needed, we could even fill out the league with some of the TOMLB guys. This is not an alien concept fellas, we did this two years ago, the league was called TOROGUE and it was how we originally introduced the concept of a fully customized schedule to mimic the real mlb. If last year's game had been any decent, we would have done it last year too. I'll leave it up to you guys.

[BANKY]

bump de bump

[ennepetal]

t must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear but
The way we make out
When I was a not-aloner
I'm nothing but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky I
I'm wide awake now

[BANKY]

wow, talk about some esoteric, trancendent, deep lines. Its like I'm at a tool concert without all the cussing.

[Outkizast]

haha i got the nationals... why uh... did uh.. i get them again?? just curious... maybe somebody want to trade?? i'm willing to do it for probably any team... so just throwin that out there... if i gotta run with 'em i will but you know... haha cool thanks..

[thump4863]

I can help you run the farm league if you need help

[LytezOut]

I'd like to get on waiting list.

[totalownership]

Well I'm pretty sure that quite a few people in the main league will be more than happy playing in a second league. However we'd REALLY need some responsible people to help out. These leagues are no joke and can drain the life out of you from an admin point of view.

[BANKY]

Oh yeah, I would definitely need some help. I remember thump from last year. so that would be good. If i could get a couple more guys to commit, I would start everthing right now! So guys, anybody wanna volunteer. If you are in the regular TOMLB league and would like to help me by being in this seperate league as well. Please, let me know, so we can jump this off. I don't like leaving anyone out and we should all be balling out of control.

[Absolut Travis]

I hate to admit to it, but I devote way too much time too these leagues even without being an admin, So it'd be more productive if I was actually doing something. So, if you need help running the league, sign me up.

[BANKY]

Travis, if we do it, I will definitely hit u up to help. Honestly, I need more responses from the guys on the list. If we don't have at least 24 guys to make it work, we can just set it up as the farm league. But, we'll see.

[cheeseonabun]

When are we looking to get the league up and running, so I can know when I need to get my game by?

[ChuteBoxe]

Is the farm league going to be the same number of games as the regular league?

[Absolut Travis]

I'm willing to help, but I just wanna clear something up. If I help with a second league, I'm still in the main one right?

[kayy911]

Go Royals!

[Absolut Travis]

Also, how many already have the game? I got it today and I'm 4-0 baby. I just played an awesome game with Brett Myers, he had 17 strikeouts going into the top of the 9th, then he struck the first two of that inning, and then with 2 strikes, looking for his 20th K,..............................................He gets a blister. I couldn't believe it. I sent in Geoff Geary and he got the last strike though.

Dude the same thing happened to me with Zach Duke of the buccos!!!!!

[ChuteBoxe]

Yeah, I believe there were a few guys last year that had double duty.

[Absolut Travis]

Dude the same thing happened to me with Zach Duke of the buccos!!!!!


That's kind of funny, cuz in that game I had my way with Zach Duke, for a final score of 11-1. (Xavier Nady blasted a homer)

[Absolut Travis]

Oh Bank, I just noticed that they updated the online leagues site. So now you can start an MLB league. I know you guys probably don't wanna start yet, but I figured I'd tell you that you set up the site whenever you're ready.

[JFKilla24]

Are we going to receive PMs letting us know the league info?

[ChuteBoxe]

i'm sure we will, if not i can easily msg everyone. tonight i will be adding all the new ppl this year to my friend's list. so if any of you get a friend request from thrillainmani1a, please accept. it's TO's resident white sox owner, lol.

[BANKY]

I should be getting my 360 back today sometime. I already have the game, just patiently waiting on UPS. as soon as it gets here, i will set it up sometime tonight.

[totalownership]

Ok people bank and I created a test league last night. Some of you joined but that wasn't the real league. The real league will be created by sunday. We're just waiting to feel out the game and see what sliders need to be adjusted before we go full fledged.

Here are some rules however: We will go with the default views on hitting and pitching. That makes all things equal so it would behoove you to get alot of online play in these few days with the default views on pitching as Im sure some of you have switched to behind the batter view for pitching by now. (Putting on asbestos suit now)

[Absolut Travis]

Good call TO. I like being behind the pitcher. Even though Rod Barajas is a bum and doesn't really call that great of a game, I've already thrown 3 complete game shutouts online with Brett Myers and Freddy Garcia. Cole Train got derailed with a 4.00 era though.

So too late for me to get in on your league?

[totalownership]

So too late for me to get in on your league?
Anyone interested in playing WILL be playing in the league in one form or another. I'm pretty sure that we will have to kick off a second league so people will be getting in that one also. It will mirror the main league (although I'm debating on the amount of games).

[Prince_RIP4eVa]

well, i'm definately down if you do that 2nd league.. put me in as the tigers for sure.

[Jeffrey99]

Hey all...some of you may remember me...I was the Reds last year. Just now getting the game. After last years junk, I waited as long as I could for reviews. I'm guessing this league is swing stick only again this year? Just wondering...I'm really having trouble with the swing stick this year. So if I get any better at the swing stick, I may be interested in the 2nd league/farm league.

[Fightin Penguin]

Bank, TO: there is a thread on here about the pitching in leagues being really slow so you guys may want to take a look at that.

[FrenziedSokar]

ya i read that thread too

[BANKY]

yeah, i'll put youon Jeff. Also, everyone, stay tuned for announcements about the league. I was talking to TO and we are putting the finishing touches on graphics. Sliders might take a few extra days, as it is gonna take time to get it all together. If any of you wanna input on the sliders, feel free. Expect updates tonight!!

[ennepetal]

Yo Bank & TO-

I hate to be this guy, but I apparently am this guy.

The Rockies are up for grabs.

Honestly, I cannot see myself shelling out $60 for this game, seeing how the roster problems haven't been addressed and I am, primarily, a franchise/dynasty/legacy/career player for all my sports games.

It hurts especially this year as its the first time since the stone age the Tigers are going to be decent on a videogame, but I just cannot bring myself to get excited to play a game that's going to have Magglo Ordonez as the lead-off man less than a week into the season.

Best of luck and, again, I apologize for the back-out. Just can't do it. I was fooled two years in a row. Can't do it for a third.

[BANKY]

no prob bud, did you see the waiting list, its gargantuan. OK GUYS, first on waiting list to respond gets the rockies. So, anyone want them?

[LytezOut]

I'll take them. Are you still having 2nd league?

[BANKY]

yes. Do you still want em?

[LytezOut]

yeah, why not.

[BANKY]

done.............................

[Absolut Travis]

Holy crap you guys. I just pitched a perfect game with Dontelle Willis......against the Yankees! Take that TO, lol. It wasn't a complete perfect game, but it would have been if he didn't quit in the top of the 9th inning. I was up 5-0 and drove in another run so he quit. Dontrelle Willis had 11 strikeouts in 8 IP, and before you guys ask, he threw 91% strikes, so it wasn't a cheesy performance.

[Fightin Penguin]

done.............................

done???????????????????????

[LytezOut]

I'm taking to rockies.

[STEEL PHANTOM]

Absolut Travis, thats a raw deal.

[Absolut Travis]

Well Phantom, you kind of grow to expect people to quit when it's 6-0 in the 9th, but to go and leave me "verbally abusive" feedback when neither of us were using mics, that's just low class.

[FakedShinobi`]

its obviously you raped him so bad...

Try not to be so good =)

[Absolut Travis]

Now that the websites are back up, when are we gonna get this show on the road?

[BANKY]

Soon. I been waiting for this thing to get back. I'm gonna set the league up tomorrow and start getting everyone in. Also, I will be posting after the UFC fight and setting up the second league as well. ARRRRRREEEEEEEE YYYYYOOOOOUUUUU RRRRREEEAAADDDDYYYY!

[Absolut Travis]

You start setting up the league yet?

[RJD227]

Lets get this thing goin

[D0m]

Damn I cant do the league any more even though im on the waitng list i just wont have time sorry.

[BANKY]

That's fine, thanks for advising me. I'm gonna set that league up tonight and we will do picking for the TOROGUE/FBL league tomorrow. Sorry it took a little bit guys, but all this slider testing is a little nutty for me. We are trying to find a good balance and unfortunately, because this plays so different than its previous iterations, it becomes difficult. So, the TOMLB 2K7 league is setup. We are finishing the graphics and articles tonight. Expect to receive the password sometime tonight or tomorrow guys.

[Fightin Penguin]

Bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[totalownership]

Tuesday I will be giving out info. So GET READY, for info that is.

[PeckinOrder]

if there is still room I would like to join and willt ake any team!

[Outkizast]

hey to everyone in the main league: if you want the Nationals i am willing to trade... i realize that finding someone that WANTS the Nationals will be tough... lol i'll use them if nobody else wants them... i'll take any other team though..

[BANKY]

if there is still room I would like to join and willt ake any team!


I played you. My modem powercycled in the middle of our game and i lost connection, WHILE I WAS WINNING!!!! and you gave me negative feedback!!!!! Said i abused exploits, what exploits were those? Thanks but no thanks on your application to the league.

[BANKY]

btw, everyone on the list, are you ready. AIM ME FOR THE PASSWORD TO THE LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PeckinOrder]

you werent winning we were tied at 5... and I gave you negative feedback because I thought you quit because you couldnt deal with the fact that I was hitting your weak gameplan and I couldnt find a negative feedback for quitting so I just picked one and it happened to be absuses exploits.

I would really like to play a rematch and get a shot into your league, As I didnt know you had dropped connection until after I had submitted my report.

Im sorry about that, and would be happy to give you positive great all around experience if you are willing to play me again!

[BANKY]

Here's the thing bro, never leave negative feedback unless the guy was a complete jerk. You may think my gameplan was weak, but to be honest, I was just testing stuff out. Ask anyone who has played me. I'm regularly in the top 5 of my leagues. Champion of FBL season 5. You want a shot, meet me in the lobby at 1015 pacific in the advanced 1. See you there.

[PeckinOrder]

calm down, im not calling you out, i have no problems with you, or how you play your game I didnt know you were the runner of this league at the time we played. So giving you negative feedback was pretty much just me thinking you were lobby trash who cries that when using stupid exploits like not allowing a player to think for 1 second before pitching the ball they get hit or are about to get beat.

I gave negative because I thought that was who you were. But I was wrong, so ill play you again if you want to play. But I wont be on at 2 am as I am in bed by 11.. old age sucks!

[BANKY]

LMAO, yes, old age does suck. And I know you ain't calling me out, lol. I was just explaining why it looked the way it did. I tell you what, i'll put you on the TO ROGUE list. We'll see how it goes and add me toyour friends list.

[bigfnjoe96]

BANKY, check your PM's....

[Fightin Penguin]

Anybody else having a problem picking their team once you get into the league??

[PeckinOrder]

LMAO, yes, old age does suck. And I know you ain't calling me out, lol. I was just explaining why it looked the way it did. I tell you what, i'll put you on the TO ROGUE list. We'll see how it goes and add me toyour friends list.


well I dont know what the TO rogue list is. And i am already on your friends list so no need for that!

[HoodyAllen]

i would like to join

[BANKY]

you must join through the website. for some reason you can't join on xbl, it reds out every team as blocked.

[OhDannyBoy12]

Looks like this is a good league...I am new to the online leagues, but looking for a good competitive full team-full schedule one to join with a good commitment. Looks like things are pretty full, but if you decide to go with two leagues, or if you need another to pick up a dead team I would like to join. My AIM is dbessette and my gt is the same as this name. Let me know. Thanks and good luck.

[PeckinOrder]

so am I in... or did I miss someting?

[Outkizast]

sooo..... are we waiting to figure out whats up with the team names being redded (sp?) out...

[Fightin Penguin]

People need to sign up so we can get this going.

[ChuteBoxe]

sooo..... are we waiting to figure out whats up with the team names being redded (sp?) out...

no, you can login through the website, and join fine.

Instructions:

1. click up top on online leagues
2. enter your user and pass (the 'passport' one you use to log into xbox.com)
3. click on join league
4. enter our leagues name (TOMLB 2K7)
5. make sure to select private
6. enter the pass

if you are on the final list for the MLB(main league), one of the 30 ppl on the first page, and have not received a pass, msg banky. The league should hopefully be started this weekend, so if you're on the list, hurry and sign up.

[BANKY]

Yes, what chutebox said. We are having issues signing up through xbl. You must do it through the website. We have 19 guys in the league, that means 11 of you have not signed up.

You have untill Saturday at noon pacific to sign up and post your 4 man rotation. Get on it peoples.

[FakedShinobi`]

holla at me if they wont sign up in time ill join up =) im mad active

[Outkizast]

whats the website, ope never mind... got it

[Trevytrev11]

Quick, possibly stupid question:

How do I join the league? I went to the website and when i search for the league, nothing pops up. When I select it from the "Top Leagues", I don't see anywhere were I can join.

Am I missing something?

Or would this have any effect:
My Online Screename was Trevytrev11, but that expired before I ever played MLB 2K7 online. So I just recently created a new Online Screen name (so I could take advantage of another free month). My new name is Trevytrev111.

Because of that, Trevytrev11 doesn't have MLB2k7 on my list of game and Trevytrev111 does.

Banky, TO or Outkaziest, if I need to go by my online name, can you change my from Trevytrev11 to Trevytrev111?

Thanks,

Trevor

[Absolut Travis]

When you search for the league, make sure you set private to "yes." It's TOMLB 2k7. With the space.

i'll be on all night, and even if you dont see me, ill be checking my xbl acct through xbox.com. just send me a msg and i'll be more than happy to help ya.

GT - ThrillaInMani1a (Just sent TrevyTrev111 a friend request)

[Trevytrev11]

Alright, I found the league, but where do I click to join? Again, maybe I need to have my name changed to do so. Banky sent me a password, but I don't know where I enter it.

[BANKY]

trevy, you have to login to mlb with your new name at least once before you can log in on the website. when you do that, go to join league, put the league name in and switch all options to "ANY". You will find the league and it'll ask for a team and pass to get in. I hope that helps

[Trevytrev11]

Alright, I finally yanked my head out of my ***** and figured it out. I got my Rotation posted.

Thanks guys.

[totalownership]

Ok still waiting for six of you guys to come claim your squads. We'll have to give those teams out if the owners don't show up soon. If you're having problems signing up just pm me or bank. Most of the front page links have been updated as well so thats working except for a couple and we're working on that now.

[totalownership]

Ok just one more team to fill. Some of you guys on the waiting list need to get at me and you can get in. It starts SOON!

[trup1aya]

You guy's have any openings? I'd even start in the farm league if there were any openings.
