Moving batter in box

[dgard20]

With p880 joystick can you move hitter in batters box ? I Can't figure it out. Or is this something only for PS and xbox and not PC version. :?:

[jpup]

you can do it on the PC version, on my controller, I hold down the L2 button and press the left stick in the direction I want to move the batter. hope that helps.

can't get it to work with my controller either. p880. I tried every imaginable button. Could use some help.

BINGO!!

Someone sticky this or something. On the P880, you hold down button 5 and then move the left joystick.

I'm sure others are having same problem

Moving the batter left and right ... has become the key for me. Just wanted to share this, in case it helps anyone out there.

I'm about 45 games into a Cubs season, and I was dead-last in the majors in HR's, with about 32 (and several of those were hit by my son, helping me play some games!). I couldn't remember the last time I hit a double to the wall, and I think I went about eight games without a HR.

This is on modified Pared sliders, All-Star.

Then I started fiddling with moving in the box. In the past, I had done this occasionally. But yesterday, I started doing it on almost every pitch. Trying to guess where the pitcher was going to throw, moving in or out as he goes into his windup .. stuff like that. And TADA ... three home runs in two games, and a booming opposite field double. Their bats came to life.

Anyone else have this experience?

I started moving the batter too and it makes a huge difference. I know my players cold spots such as inside. The cpu will throw inside and jam me but if I move the player off the plate, no more jam and great contact. I feel bit that I am cheating the cpu as sometimes I just move off the plate or toward the plate and just wait for the corresponding pitch for my postion at the plate. I do not think the cpu knows where I am at the plate because if I stay in, the cpu will not continue to throw in which would likley cause me to be jammed or miss. Hitting homers to the opposite field by moving in and looking for an outside pitch has been getting too easy plus I play as the Yankees. Time to adjust the sliders.

I have some sort of problem with thrustmaster Dual Power 3. I try All buttons, but it not work. On button five i set <retreat all>. I set <retreat all> not assigned, but it didn't help. Any suggestion?

I use these exact same sliders and I hit home-runs. My approach to it is to wait till the pitch is inside, most of the time pitchers throw balls outside at first, and an occasional strike every few batters. Just work the count and he'll throw inside and you'll crush it if you time it right.
