    RTTS Pre-game batting practice

    Does anyone know if batting practice before your games on RTTS does anything. Like if I skip it will my player be tight up at the plate or something.

    I gotta say, when I play for a few hours I usually only want to do the very first batting cage (7 pitches) to get my eyes and fingers warmed up to my timing. After that I think it is a waste of time.....but I'm afraid to not do it because I don't know if it will cause my guy to suck in game.

    I have enough issues as is.....only hitting .244 in AAA.

    Nah, I think it's just for you to get your timing down (although I think in my case it does more harm than good).

    As far as I know, it has no in-game effect if you skip it.

      I've asked about this same thing before, and got the same response: its practice for the user not the character...

      Although, I feel it should have some kind of influence in some way. When I asked about it, I compared it to the warmup pitches... you get 8 pitches and as you throw those practice pitches, it increases the confidence of whatever pitch thrown..

      I think in batting practice, if you jack 4 or 5 out in those 8 attempts, during that game perhaps you should get a small power boost when using power swing... if you use normal swing in practice and have 5 or 6 really crisp liners, the contact should get a +1 or whatever during the game... however, if you whiff at anything during practice, perhaps any bonuses are canceled, and if no bonuses are earned and you still whiff anything, ALL hitting in that game gets a small decrease...

      Its a nice addition already as is, but I feel tying something to it involving the upcoming game, the same way a pitchers warmup does, would make it something not worth just skipping over after a few games...

          It´s good that the option is there, for those who want to do batting practice before a game. For me, it destroys my already mediocre timing, because of the simple fact that you only get batting practice "meatballs", which simply isn´t the fact during the upcoming game !

            It helps me sometimes. I usually skip it but if I go into a slump I will do it then. It helps me get my timing back. Maybe it's in my head, but it helps me.

            I do like Sinner618 idea though, that would make it more interesting.
