cybernetic Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 thats what I do and you'll get a couple good pitches to hit pre at-bat.. I'm having the same problem in All-Star right now.. I've lost 3 of my 7-8 games at all-star 1-0 and didn't have many hits but I'm getting better with patience and getting more hits now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancrushOnNomar Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 A good way to build patience is to take pitches just to see their trajectory and velocity. Take every pitch until you have 2 strikes on you, then swing at anything close. After you do this for a couple of games, you should develop a much better eye and be able to tell not only if a pitch is a ball or a strike, but what path the ball is taking and at what speed it's coming at you, then you'll be able to adjust properly. Keep in mind some general things about hitting too - high fastballs come in a LOT faster than low fastballs. Watch the rotation and release point to determine the difference between breaking balls - a curveball and slider look very similar but have very different flight paths and different velocities. I hope this has helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amzing the number of ground outs and pop ups you get swinging on the first pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_ballplaya_05 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I'm having the same problem when it comes to hitting. I feel like i'm too impatient a lot of times I seem to ground out or fly out. It gets really frustrating lol. Ohh and the thing that makes it so bad is the slider/splitter/sinker pitch. Whenever I swing at it, it seems like the game slows down and I miss it. Idk what the deal is anymore man. It's getting really annoying. I think my batting average is like around .220 or something which is really bad on pro.

superciuc Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Tips: wait for you pitch and make the pitcher pitch. Remember, you can take 2 strikes and then you have to swing. First, when you start to hit just hit line drives at the middle. Second, take walks: work the count. If the pitch is a ball, do not swing at it. But if there are 2 strikes and you are not sure if the ball is a strike or a ball swing at it. When the pitcher is tired he will do 2 things: he will walk you or he will make mistake pitches. If the pitch is a mistake pitch just swing at it and that ball will be into the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_ballplaya_05 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Heh, that's great advice man, appreciate it. The thing is that it just seems like whenever I hit the ball, it's either a ground out or a flyout which really sucks. I cant seem to get any good hits, like doubles, etc. Am I supposed to be pressing the analog stick a certain way when i swing the ball or something? I seem to swing at the first pitch too and the opposing pitcher's pitch count is really low throughout the game. Which sliders should I tweak to help me out here? Any help is appreciated! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
