    Women who sleep around on their husbands and get divorced several times shouldn't be giving relationship advice either, but it's working quite well for for Dr. Laura....

    But I digress...

    To the OP------Great advice. I'm willing to try anything to improve my hitting. The ole "see ball, hit ball" isn't cutting it.....

      Props for taking the time to write up these tips. I'm sure there are people that are frustrated playing the game because they can't hit. Then they realize they have to think and use good strategy. If you want arcade baseball 2K will be releasing The Bigs 2 soon...

          Pretty good tips overall, I'm playing on Legend myself. The thing I don't agree with concerning your philosophy is that you are overall too defensive at the plate (e.g. never swing at the first pitch). I'm all for running up the pitcher's pitch count, drawing walks, etc. However, you can't let extremely hittable pitches get by. You need to be more aggressive at the plate. What I do is look for pitches in my hitter's hot zone with less than 2 strikes, any other pitch I take. Here's a few examples of where I'll look:

          OOO
          XXO
          XXO

          XXX
          OOO
          OOO

          XXO
          XXO
          OOO

            One day Ted Williams, who was known for not swinging at the first pitch, slammed the first pitch out of the park. They pitcher yelled "Hey, you weren't supposed to swing."

            Playing online I've found that pretty much anything that's a strike will be a hit about 99% of the time for most players.

            Hitting in this game isn't challenging. My first game on Legend vs the CPU I accumulated 14 hits in the first 5 innings, then stopped playing and put the game up for sale.

              When I said .350 I DIDN'T MEAN ME I meant he should give advice when he starts hitting .350 on legend and NOT veteran.

              Just for the record I so far suck at hitting on legend.

                I've been using this. It's actually gave my RTTS player some hits in Spring Training, along with his first double.

                    Sure you did.

                    Anyway, I disregarded the rule of letting the first pitch go by. I hit a homerun (finally!) with Sizemore, first pitch of the game. It was a FB down the middle, and I couldn't resist.I'm more aggressive at the plate; it's the only way I can even have a chance for a hit. Playing on Vet mode, BTW.....

                        To the OP I have not watched a baseball game since I was 12 (27 now) Let alone played one and I just wanted to say thanks for the tips currently playing on rookie and still having a hard time. I will try these strategies tonight and let you know how they work out for me.

                        I do find it funny how all these badass players that are so good at hitting will actually click on a thread titled; Finally hitting decent here is how I did it! and then proceed to criticize the OP who is actually just trying to give some advice to players like myself who have no idea what they are doing. I have noticed that a vast majority of people on these operation sports forums no matter which sub forum it is are complete douches that would rather bitch about the game than than embrace it.

                          You realize that this is the approach most players in the majors use right? It is always best to guess fastball on every pitch, even in real life, because you will be able to adjust to anything slower. Guessing an off-speed pitch and then getting blown away by a fastball is pretty embarrassing when you get back into the dugout.

I'm assuming that most people here play and like this game a lot otherwise they wouldn't be here. We all have different skill levels and because one is skilled at legend doesn't make his/her opinion any better then someone who plays in the less difficult levels.
                            To further this thought, many of the greatest managers, pitching and batting coaches were not stars in the game. They had the know how, just not the skill.

                            I appreciate that he at least made the effort to help others who are new to the game.

                              True, but in the Majors you cant press a button and then automatically know the fastball is coming before the pitcher even lets go...

                              There is nothing lamer then someone who presses R2, Guess Fastball before every pitch would be a more accurate statement.

                                see, i get everything that was written but thats not my problem with pitch recognition. I see the ball, hit where the pitch is going. I get perfect and good or perfect and superb most of the time to which you'd think base hits but no every time its right at a defender or the ball hangs up for a long period time when you'd think its in the gap or whatever.

                                any other ideas as to what can fix this? is it settings or what?
