Brehs I don’t really follow baseball, but I used to play a couple of the old games on older consoles

I’m bored with 2k myleague and career mode as it’s too easy

Is this a game a non baseball diehard will appreciate?

edit: ps5 for reference

I think you will. The graphics are amazing and gameplay is as well. It really is the best sports game on the market. Hitting my be a little hard for you if you don’t understand pitching scenarios and types..fielding is easy if you change it to simple button correspondence. Play around with sliders and difficulty when you get it.

In my franchise with the Braves, I’m first in my division and have a the 3rd best record in the league.


Im dead last in home runs and runs scored though. At the point of the season I’m in, I have 8 home runs total and the first place team has like 25. The team above me has 17.

I don’t score a lot per game, but I also keep my opponents from scoring. I have the best ERA in the league and I have given up the least amount of runs and hits.

does anyone else has this issue? Is there a setting or slider I can mess with to normalize my stats or hit & score more?

I wish you could set quick counts to just one thing..

Like I wanna quick count batting, but wanna pitch the full game. So annoying smhh hate doin quick counts whilst pitching, end up pitching 100 balls in 5 innings smhh

:ehh: I ended up copping the other night

the batting was kicking my ass :picard:

I decided to do the RTTS (dynamic difficulty) and somehow ended up flying through the ranks as a pitcher and even pitched during the playoffs

but I also wanted to do batting and pitching, so I made a new save and I’m at 79 overall in Double A :pachaha:

hopefully I get the call up :pachaha: game is fun as hell

It is :banderas:

make sure you throw a fastball high out the zone or a change up low outside the zone when you’re pitching and have a 0-2 or 1-2 count. Easy strike out

:whew: I usually use the change up to end it like you said

does pitching practice during game days actually count towards improving my player or is it just the training during non game days (where you choose between pitching, batting, fielding, etc)
