Gordo Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Since I probably won't be getting 2005 until the price drops after a while, I'd like to make 2004 single player playable.....but this is very frustrating gameplay wise. It seems that the cpu hits just about everything I throw to the play regardless of what pitcher or what pitch. What am I doing wrong? What levels should I be playing on? Do you set the same for both cpu and player (pro/pro, etc.)? What about game tuning? I'd really like to make this realistic since some of the mods are really very good. I'd also like to have a balance of success and failure. Right now it just feels like I'm delivering up batting practice for the cpu!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 rookie apparently hit the edges with your pitches. you want boardline pitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Right, I haven't had the game very long. So the cpu doesn't chase bad pitches? You can't smoke a batter down the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 if you have a good fastball they will chase a high fastball but right down the middle NO, it will get crushed with a good slider they will chase it on the corner just play around with the pitches, see what way they break and try to get them to chase them the way they break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkEnigma510 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Working the corners is very important. Any pitches right down the middle will be likely slammed by the CPU. If you have two strikes on a batter try throwing a pitch just outside the strike zone and make the CPU chase. A sinking pitch is always great on two strikes if your pitcher has a great sinking pitch (Mussina's knucklecurve comes to mind). And sliders are my fav as you can get them to swing inside or outside the strike zone. If you are really new to the game, try rookie. Otherwise just keep practicing on Pro.

AcousticNut Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 As mentioned.... NEVER throw down the middle. Work the corners. For good strike-out pitches... High Fastball Slider Low and Outside Changeup inside Curveball in the dirt If you set up the pitches, the computer will chase. Also, don't be afraid to walk somebody. Working the corners I usually walk a couple of batters per game, but that happens when you avoid the center of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
