hollywood57 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Batting is so hard !! Pitching is OK, excepting pickoffs which I never success...but batting is a real nightmare !! Just many HR by Big Papi... Do you have some tips?? My inning on batt lasts 2 minutes, 3 outs on the fly or on the ground with a throw in the 1B... It's so, so hard !!

MarkB Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 It pretty much works the same way as in real life - be patient, look for a good pitch to hit, and swing away. Make sure you're using an appropriate difficulty level and sliders. If you're new to the game, try Rookie mode, just to get started. Also, try the batting mini-game which will help you get used to how to use the analog sticks to control your swing. Other than the obvious game adjustments, standard batting tips work as you would expect - don't try to pull outside pitches, don't go out of the strike zone, be patient, be aware of how the ball moves and get your timing down. If you're having a hard time getting used to the speed or break of the pitches, start an exhibition game and don't swing for a few innings, just watch how the ball leaves the pitcher's hand and how it moves on different pitches, how the fastballs "rise", how the curveballs dip, and how the sliders break. Once you're used to that, you'll be able to handle pretty much any pitch. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
