C'mon RD... there were people HERE saying that this was impossible, the game was rigged so you could never do this, the fact that you had to record while turning on the game system was ludicrous...

It's like all of you are contradicting yourselves at this point.

It was a contest to generate interest in an average baseball game. And it did its job.

Are we that bitter here that we must complain about every little thing that happens in the game industry?

I think you can answer your own question, Pared. It's sad, but that's the way society is trending these days.

Wish they had had this contest about five years ago. I managed to pitch a perfect game with Andy Pettite and the Houston Astros. When I was in college I played this game all the time with my roommate. He batted and I pitched so I had tons of chances. It definitely didn't happen the first night I got it. Major props to this guy. Its been forever since I've even thought about pitching a perfect game. I play The Show now and this article has me pumped just thinking about it the chance. Congrats to this guy!
