My hitting is so-so, I can rock the pitchers who love to come right at me (Johnson, Schilling and the like) but the ones who pitch away give me some mild headaches.

 

My problem is the baserunning. I can't figure it out. How do I advance just ONE runner instead of both?? I hit the button to key on that runner but BOTH still advance and I get screwed cause I can't send them back.

 

I've lost TONS of runs and big innings because I cannot for the life of me get the baserunning down. The rest is awesome but THIS is pissing me off.

I got this game...

 

And I hate it.

 

Online is ok, but I'm not big on that.

 

I hate admitting that EA made a much better game. Sigh.

Yes, I hate those that throw away too, even when I can fucking tell it's a ball...I still subconciously hit the button like 4 secs later, and it counts. I also can't hit a lot of those trick pitches, like the knuckleball...Wakefield fucks me up every time.

 

But as for baserunning, to pick one person, you have to hit their coordinating button. (I'm on Xbox) But it has a little button in the corner of the picture of them on the bases, and when you touch it, the square around them will flash. And you tap it constantly to make them run a LOT faster. Heck, it's pretty much the only way to get to first base on a base hit, otherwise you get smoked.

Yeah, I JUST figured out you hit the R1 or L1 button after hitting the corresponding baserunner. Before I was using the directional pad which advanced everyone.

 

I decided to make things hard on myself and play a season as the Royals. God, do they suck at hitting the ball.

PreSwing:Does this give you more power when you hit?

The game is good but I'm not liking the Online play all that much. I don't like the fact that in a ranked game (on the xbox), you can't use the pure baseball mode. I hate that "tap the A button to automatically get a homerun" thing. It takes away from the actual game, plus I don't like how someone can take a pitcher and keep using a knuckleball the entire game or some other special pitch and the pitcher won't get fucked up, even through if you hit a knuckleball with a power swing it will go out of the park, it still pists me off the game is like that online.

I bought this and MVP baseball 2005 and I don't play either. I'm a maroon.
