Even as the temperature continues to dip outside, baseball fans across the country continue to count the weeks until the opening of spring training. Not to fear, Sony PlayStation just announced the latest version of their highly acclaimed baseball video game "MLB 13:The Show." Along with the announcement came news of this year's cover athlete, Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen. "Cutch" finsihed 2012 with 31 Homers, 96RBIs and 20 stolen bags. He also happened to win the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award. Not too shabby.
Guy Code Blog sat with Cutch last week in New York to discuss his ideas on video game etiquette, and what it means to grace the cover of "MLB 13: The Show."
What rules of etiquette do you follow when playing "MLB 13:The Show"?
I only have a few, but you need to follow them if you want to play with me:
1) Always make sure your controllers are clean. I don't want to play after someone just ate Cheetos.
2) Make sure you play on the same level as your opponent. No need to show off, it makes you not want to play with them again.
3) No betting money or swearing while playing- My home is a sanctuary and I don’t need to hear the F-bomb dropping. You swear you are out.
4) No "pop-ins." Its rude and it might become awkward if I am playing someone at that time. Call me if you want to get your game on.
5) Don't hold back. Throw out the fast balls, make the big plays and come ready for battle.
