youtube.com — A glitch in MLB 2K6 for Xbox360 gives the CPU outfielders enough vertical leap to clear the Green Monster at Fenway. Video taken by the guy that sits next to me at work who does 360 saves. No cheats are active.

I'm really struggling not to get involved in this but I can't seem to help it.CPU is, or at least was, often the default title given to the computer-controlled player/opponent in arcade games. This was generally the case where a number of players can be onscreen at the same time.An example of this would be Track & Field:<a class="user" href="http://images.webmagic.com/klov.com/screens/T/wTrack_&_Field.png">http://images.webmagic.com/klov.com/screens/T/wTrack_&_Field.png</a>

"OK smartypants, did you really think he meant the CPU (processor) gained some crazy athletic ability wrt its vertical leap. If that happened I am not sure the height of the processors leap would be the big news...maybe the fact it was leaping."Actually yes I thought something along those lines. When I read it I thought that the CPU was spiking, or that some kind of very serious glitch in the software resulted in the CPU overclocking or burning itself out. Somehow the acronym standing for "Central Processing Unit" doesn't really bring to mind a computer-controlled player right off the bat.

I had no clue they allowed X-Men into baseball these days...........maybe I should watch it more often.

I was thinking that too. Perhaps it's more of an easter egg than a glitch.

It is amazing how some individuals in their efforts to look cool, only end up looking like some retarded dumbass. The use of term CPU to make reference to the computer controlled player has been around since the beginning of video games, may not be absolutely accurate, but still is a term that any person who has been playing video games for a little will understand. Making that kind of comment is not only dumb, but demonstrate that a lot of people commenting about video games have actually no idea what they are talking about.

The 2k6 NHL game was even worse. It would crash everytime a game ended so you couldn't get anywhere in the league. It was unplayable... what's up with 2k6's job lately... are they trying to ruin their own name?

CPU, NPC, whatever. blah blah blah"CPU player" or "CPU character" would have made the title too long. I'm glad it caught my eye. besides, I understood WTF they meant.
