I can clear the game in under 15 minutes playing normally, but these high score runs take about an hour. Hopefully I can give it another shot over the weekend.
It's exactly the same experience except the Yankees actually have a closer. I'm pretty sure the Reds just draw names out of a hat in the bullpen to decide who gets to try and finish the game.
Me and arnpoly got 12k in the Double Dragon 2 low score contest, but Bea got 9,800 if I remember correctly. I never did figure out how to get a score that low.
Have you seen the Reds bullpen? They have literally given up runs in every game since the All Star break. It's beyond painful to watch them blow 2-3 run leads on a nightly basis.
