If there’s one factor that unites all MLB followers, it’s their dissatisfaction with Angel Hernandez. However who’s the Angel Hernandez of MLB The Present 24?
This can be a query that has been requested on the boards within the type of “which umpire do you dislike probably the most in The Present?” In fact, this assumes you will have strike zone variability on and don’t go along with the proper strike zone and excellent calls. I might argue that strike zone variability is an incredible characteristic it is best to at all times have on, however I get why individuals would get annoyed with it.
Regardless, there isn’t a consensus on the boards. We don’t have only one Angel Hernandez, reasonably it’s a bunch of umpires who draw ire from OSers. OS person Archie56 began the thread and referred to as out Gary Simmons as his least favourite.
For me, it’s gotta be Gary Simmons. He’s the previous white man with the mustache. He NEVER provides me calls whereas I’m pitching and at all times appears to offer the opposite group calls whereas I’m batting. Drives me loopy!
OS person Ghost Of The 12 months adopted up by mentioning Joe McDonald and Wally Hughes since Ghost couldn’t decide only one. OS Fikshun got here in off the highest rope to say, “Rusty Valentine can Eff all the way in which off.”
What’s additionally enjoyable about these umpires is that they’re not actual however they’ve been within the sport for years. OS person Armor and Sword has been round ceaselessly contributing to The Present, and he drops some nicknames for a few of the all-time disliked umps. My private favourite from the bunch is Sh*tstain Simmons, ya know, for the alliteration.
And, look, if there’s something that normally brings sports activities followers collectively throughout all sports activities, it’s giving out about refs/umpires. Like, usually this kind of discuss can be grounds for a warning on the boards, however everybody simply nodded and applauded when OS person Nygs got here in to roast Clyde Washington.
Undecided about The Present 24, however Clyde Washington has been straight rubbish stuffed in a diaper bag — on high of extra rubbish with rancid/spoiled milk and dirty child diapers on high of that. I’ll guess he’s nonetheless the worst for me. He in all probability assaults ophthalmologists in his free time…
This has even result in discussions about previous video games like MVP Baseball the place you possibly can get kicked out for arguing because the supervisor, after which even going approach again to 1994 and Time Out Sports activities Baseball on PC that truly had a mini-game for arguing with umpires.
Nonetheless, it’s all in good enjoyable, and mainly all of us do respect variable umpires, it’s a terrific characteristic that The Present has had for a few years and in addition has been present in different baseball video video games by means of the years. OS person strawberryshortcake sums it up greatest:
None, as a result of strike zone variability is my all time favourite factor about MLB the Present. Calls going in opposition to me (or for me) whether or not I’m batting or pitching throughout late sport or in essential conditions makes issues an absolute blast. It mimics what might occur in an actual baseball sport and I’m all for it.
If you happen to’ve bought a bone to choose with an umpire in MLB The Present 24 and wish to clarify why they’re the Angel Hernandez in your online game life, be at liberty to cease by and tell us about it.
