1 thing I hate about The Show...unlike FIFA or NBA2K where i can sit back and relax on my couch and play, on The Show when I'm batting I have to stand up and be like 4 feet away from my 50 inch TV.

C'mon, admit it guys, save me the humiliation!!! :lol:
ive been on all star since the beginning. mike and bama were on veteran then moved to allstar right around when they got called up to aaa

i think oracle is on veteran for now.

whats happening with shel is he is getting old and his hand eye isnt what it used to be. lets see how he adapts

i'm facing guys who throw 40% of their pitches straight down the middle/87 mph fastballs, and shit is already real. :oops:
i go opposite field with a good many of my hits, but i rarely get blown away by 90 mph fastballs down the middle
Corey and I were talking about it over lunch today lol.

I think I come at my at bats opposite as most, always have. I try to sit on the offspeed stuff, and then react to the fastballs. Usually, I do pretty well like this. As a result, I'm not usually pulling fastballs, but I still get around quick enough to hit em up the middle or in the right-center gap type areas. For some reason, so far on this mode, I simply can't catch up to em, even the 90mph ones. I hit so many foul balls in the stands down the rightfield line, just so far behind, not even close.
why in god name would you sit looking offspeed?

That's exactly what is happening.

I'm calling all of you liars so it's clear how i'm not adapting, still in the denial phase. :lol:

The main reason is it just always worked better for me, but here's why.

If I sit on fastball, i'll do a great job crushing fastballs, but every time I get anything offspeed, i'm wayyyyyy too far ahead of it, and i was never able to adapt to that.

But I noticed if I sit offspeed(this is in the past of course), I do great at crushing the offspeed stuff, but would still react quick enough to hit the fastballs.

So logically for me at least, the best way to hit all pitches was to go about it that way, which is opposite.

I am on veteran. Just made the AA All-Star game and haven't been promoted yet.

Waiting for the call-up. I am batting .370ish, 25 hr 110rbi, lead the league in doubles and triples as well. Not sure why I haven't been promoted yet.

But I plan on upping the difficulty when I do

I do contact when I get to 2 strikes. You can still hit decently with it, and it helps on those close ones. Especially since I get antsy lol

I only do power if I'm up 2-0 or 3-1 and get a "crush me" pitch

2 strikes I go contact unless there's two outs, then I just go normal

I'm on veteran/no guess, will go to AA when I get promoted. I've demanded a trade from the shitty Padres, the Double-A team is 14-30 and I'm the only person hitting, so my RBI chances are low

As of May 19:

.367/ .365 / .580
13 2B
1 3B
7 HR
31 RBI
3 steals
.906 fielding % at 3B (6 errors)

Sent back to AA.

Went .206 avg in 68 ABs, 23 SO. Will try to work that out in AA and make the step back up. I liked the variety of pitches at AAA way more than AA. (not sure if that was from veteran or AS, vs the level change)
