Guest McCovey521 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I really like this game. With all the mods that have been created, its gorgeous as well as having pretty good game play. I'm just disgusted with the home runs that I've been giving up. I 'm not grooving them down the middle either. I try to pitch to different locations of the plate. The sliders I'm using are Kamasutra's and J'Pups sliders, alternating between the two. And it doesnt seem to matter. I allow about 3 homers a game. Any suggestions? Thx.

voodoo_daddy Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Don't try to blow away the batters, instead locate your pitches on the corners. When ahead in the count, pitch breaking balls that dip out of the K zone to get them to swing at your junk. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyMeteo Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 voodoo_daddy is spot on about locating pitches on the corners. Get comfortable htting the corners by pitching with the strike zone on, then remove it when you're ready for the challenge. Also consider throwing more offspeed pitches (change, curve, etc.) to power hitters. I can usually get Sosa, Griffey, Bagwell and others to hack at an offspeed pitch on (or just off) the corner, often resulting in a flyout. Good hitters will still hit HRs, but you won't give up 3 per game. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake eyez Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 You may want to try some different datafiles... the game can be very homer friendly at it's default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
