Does Anyone else out there just Pitch, and never Hit ?

Re: Does Anyone else out there just Pitch, and never Hit ?

I think u should be able to. If I'm not mistaken, last year the RTTS had option to play/watch full game or skip till your next turn. I'm sure player lock should have the similar options for RTTS.

And how do you actually enjoy pitching? I've tried and it's no fun. I enjoy it as long as I hit and field as well (auto field but button throwing) but if all you do is pitching, I don't think i've ever gotten past 3 starts in RTTS. Only pitching I'd do is as a closer. But yeah definitely all 3 for me, with all classic controls, buttons, nothing too complicated.

Never hitting sounds depressing to me lol.

You can watch all your team AB's.....
You must use those settings in the RttS settings...as they will dictate your player lock settings.

....and if you change pitchers....go to the substitution screen and hit L2 to take control of the relief pitcher....it's not labeled anywhere and a rather obscure setting.
You think you've lost the lock on your pitcher...but you haven't.

I like to set it to CPU vs CPU, close my eyes and pretend I'm listening to the radio.

good to hear from the experts. I played shortstop in college. I always hit betwee .285 - .345, but my true love was Fielding. I consistently had a 97 % fielding clip.

I would gladly be a fielding DH !! LOL.


Hitting is just to difficult.

Where did you play in college?

Also have you tried the timing hitting option?

Re: Does Anyone else out there just Pitch, and never Hit ?

Some games I just pitch, some games I just hit, some games I do both.
But I never just watch. Or just manage, to be specific.

If you want to only pitch, then you could just switch sides at the start of each innings and permanently be the pitching side, I suppose?

Yes indeed. If I could find a handful of people, we could pitch/hit every game, all 2,430 of them. That is my dream LOL.


I almost want to do that this year -- even by myself ..... but it would take to darn long.

My first love was fielding too and it stayed that way until I got tired of it by about high school. Then my biggest baseball dream came true in my SR year of college.

I became a full-time DH.

Greatest baseball season of my life. I felt like Edgar Martinez. All I did was rake.

Awesome.

The funniest thing is that I was never a pitcher (well I was for one season, but i was pretty awful. Actually hit the same guy twice in the same inning, if that tells you anything), but I enjoy pitching a lot in video games.

I attended Western Washington Univ.


I could have played all four years, but instead I have decided to fast-track to the married priesthood, in the old catholic line of ordination. As a ND Alum, you have seen the HORRORS of Vatican 2.


I am really a Sedevacantist, a minority of traditional catholic. Actually, I believe the Faith of The Apostles, Saints, and Martyrs.


Look into The Third Secret of Fatima.


I hope to be married, ordained, and serving a church in less than two years.


And I will always play MLB The Show !! Call it a public Cofession !!

Coolio. Why hitting over fielding ?

No idea. Just got tired of fielding after awhile. Probably helped I was pretty good at hitting and just average at fielding. Plus I didn't really have a position. I was mostly a SS/2nd baseman, but after I contracted Chuck Knoblauch disease and couldn't throw to first anymore, I moved to CF/LF. I was alright, but I never had the love to play the OF like I did when I was a SS/2B. Just standing out in the grass I didn't feel like I was "in" the game anymore.

Just hitting though, I felt like I could impact the game more with my bat. Plus I didn't have to run all the way out to the outfield each inning.

Love the passion but you need to tone it down a bit on the religious discussion, it's not permitted on OS.


I too went to a catholic college (and high school for that matter).

Ok. I apologize for being to forward, or rabidly in-sincere. I just got a bit excited !! LOL.


How bout you Kehlis, do you just Pitch ?
