Mine is that the scoreboard actually shows the correct time

    I'm impressed by the fact this game keeps up with about 50 statistics between the pitchers and batters.

    The Bombadil ad.  Now, maybe it refers to something else entirely, but I like to imagine a dev totally geeking out and hiding an increasingly obscure Lord of the Rings reference in the game.  ( I say obscure because Tom Bombadil was left out of the movies, and nobody reads books anymore lol.)

    Showing Baez batting on the scoreboard even though I don't have him and the cubbies wearing my team uniform no matter what team I am.

    I swear there's a dude in the stands that constantly smashes an ice cream cone into his face when you home run near him.

    Edit: it's the guys in the yellow shirt, they all just smash themselves in the face repeatedly 🤪

    Franchise players lurking in the clubhouse, ready to spring into action at any time, and take your bonus players spot.  Always a classic gag.

    I like the gentleman’s club in the VIP Lounge that you can use Franchise Coins to pay for a private show. That is only for really special VIPs though.

    Honestly somebody mentioned it before but I'm enamored by the fact that this game can keep up with so many statistics for so many players on both sides of the ball. I'm really into looking at player performance so the fact that so many statistics are offered is great.

    You get the VIP Lounge after you sign over your house to GLU?

    No no no... the VIP Lounge only appears if you capture a live badger, get snow from the top of Mt Everest, cook a 14 course meal for Gordon Ramsey with no cursing / complaints, retrieve 4 ounces of semen from an African Ostrich, refill a prescription at Walgreens in less than 37 minutes, lick both of your elbows (girls if you can do this please PM me), successfully listen to two silent movies, play Russian roulette with no empty chambers and look at your eyebrows without a mirror.

    That is a high-quality reference, sir.  Kudos.

    And you better bring the shrubbery quickly, otherwise you will need another shrubbery slightly elevated with a path down the middle to appease them

    The walk off homer that doesn't have the walk off homer animation. Yes, the animation is cool as heck, but we see it so often. Instead, the walk off homer that is barely fair? That is cool as hell...especially when you KNOW it only stayed fair because you leaned your body accordingly! :wink:

    @DFBB I've hit a couple that were to left-center or center where the fielder went to the wall put glove up but the ball just carried and carried and it was a homerun, no animation. My favorite though is with the animation, opposite field from a righty that travels exactly 351 feet over that giant wall that only the batter knows is gone.

    I love those too! The moonshot homers! It's like, you put your head down because it's a pop up.You look back up and the ball is still carrying....and carrying...:)

    They are especially great in woh, with 2 outs.

    I had one of those against Sale on Wednesday.

    1. Slugfest....hitting a homer to right center over the 405 ft sign....and being congratulated on my 365 dinger
    2. In woh - ocassionally hitting a missile down the right field line that does some sort of whacky bounce off the foul pole....the ball rolls back towards the first base dugout. For awhile you think its gone into glitch mode, because it takes forever for a fielder to appear and get the ball. Then finding out I got a double.
    3. I do like short-hopping the signs around the fence/warning track - and seeing the dirt pop up for a moment....small little cloud of dirt...poof

  • dustyhunksdustyhunks Registered Users, Member 1,672 Posts
    New thing I seen this past Wednesday in woh... pop up, way way up just 3 feet in front of 1st base.  Nobody catches it. Just hits the dirt. Home run. Happened twice that day
    Lol what?! I've never seen that. I've hit a couple singles on balls that bounced in front of plate though.
  • Tdub71Tdub71 Registered Users, Member 1,876 Posts
    The infeld single always makes me laugh.
  • Tdub71Tdub71 Registered Users, Member 1,876 Posts
    I have never had one of those on a golf course.  However I have been a a accused of being a "shankapottomus".

    No context.  Just saw, and had to post here.

    The logic in this scene is perfect 
  • dustyhunksdustyhunks Registered Users, Member 1,672 Posts
    I know the infield single/unintentional bunt hit, but I'm talking about a pitch that bounces in dirt that I've hit into outfield on the bounce.

    I had a pitcher balk in a playoff game last week, been playing for a couple of years and it’s the only time i’d ever seen it happen in the game
