    Re: MLB 09 "Road To The Show" thread

    I don't like playing on all star (for hitting) as I just plain suck at it. I see they tied a bunch of the trophies to all-star or higher so I'm trying it out, but I seriously don't see myself getting enough training points to even stay even right now.

    My pitcher (which I do play on all star) is kicking butt, but pitching in this game has always been easy for me.

      Did you start off on All-Star with pitching?

        Yeah. Since 07 for the PS2, I've played this game mostly as a SP on All-Star difficulty. Halfway through my first season in AA, I still don't have a hit (and the announcers comment on it all the time!)

        My 1st baseman that I made is hitting somewhere around .150 a month in in AA. Not good.

          this isn't like the PS2 version a few years back...I put it on rookie and my guy had 20 homeruns and was batting .600 in the first month of AA...

          this is most def not the same game....
          Hoy cow, I didn't even know you played this game!

          But yes, I agree... I'm on veteran and looking like a complete fool half the time.

                Nah, I'm enjoying it. I want to get better at hitting, I just have a hard time knowing where the ball is going. I'll keep at it though. The batting practice mode has been helping me try to figure things out when there isn't a game to worry about.

                I still love this game. I love being able to have Hulk Hogan's theme song as my music when I come to bat!

                  Its great having Mo come out in the 9th to close out a game with Enter Sandman! I'm loving that feature

                    honestly i haven't had this much fun in a while. RTTS is an awesome feature.

                    btw i literally feel out of my chair laughing earlier when i was playing. my guy walked up to the plate, turned to the side and blew two snot rockets. you could see the snot fly out of his nose.

                    it was awesome.

                      One thing that irked me about the game last year (and it wasn't just in RTTS, it was franchise mode), but the Rookie of the Year was ALWAYS a hitter. Has anyone checked far enough ahead to see if pitchers are even considered this year?

                        Two questions. First, whos motion was that? Second, was that a splitter or a change-up? Either way it was N-A-S-T-Y! That hitter had none chance to hit that ball. Nice work.

                          Well I just got traded from the AA affialiate of the D-Backs (the Mobile Baybears) to the Oakland A's AA affialiate (the Midland RockHounds). I am being shelled as a starting pitcher. I was doing GREAT coming out of the pen I had a sub 2.00 ERA and was in the top 5 in K's. Now I'm 2-6 with a 3.30 ERA, luckily I'm still like 6th in K's.

                          Also is anyone else having any trouble fielding from the pitching mound in RTTS? It seems I never get any balls hit up the middle.

                            I'm using Generic 3 for the motion. The pitch I laid on him was the OOOOLD Slide Piece. Only things though is if I don't get that in there right instead of putting him out of his misery it'll become part of the itty bitty home run city committee.

                              Man that's tough. Just stick in there though. It'll turn around.

                              I think as you train more your fielding will get better. I'm not able to get to many up the middle either but I did manage to field some , as in 2 or 3 though.

                                Saw something really weird earlier. I was pitching with a guy on first and threw a curveball that went in the dirt while the runner was taking off. A freaky, jumbled pictured suddenly flashed on the screen. In thought the game was going to lock up, but everything was fine (though the runner stole). It was a blink and you'd miss it kind of thing, but still weird.
