Is there a way to fire coaches or scouts? I simmed to the offseason and saw no way to do either. Any help is appreciated.

Luckily, this year I was able to buy a ticket pack to a few Cardinal games and I plan on taking my camera so I can take pictures of what I need to be in the game. This way I don't have to rely on google and pray that I can find a picture of what I am looking for.

This year, everything I complain about at Busch Stadium will have a picture of how it looks in real life and a good one at that.

That rocks, the more the better!

Trust me, they love that stuff. It is hard for them to get out to all the stadiums and get pictures of updates, and some are very inaccessible, even for them.

Quick question regarding classic pitching. The in-game guide says that the longer I hold the button, the stronger the pitch will be. Does holding the button past the vibration effect accuracy or stamina? If not, could I hold the button until the ball is well out of the pitcher's hand and get the same result as if I timed it with the vibration, or does the vibration not matter at all?

I hope this is the correct thread. I didn't want to make a new one for such a small question.

I think Vibration just signifies the max effectiveness for that pitch. But I do believe you are supposed to release after. Maybe someone else can comment, like Nemesis04. He would know much more than I would, but in the past I always released to the leg at its peak for max effectiveness, and was under the impression holding the whole time would mess it up a bit.

The vibration means max effort so technically anything past that (if it even registers) would cause pitches to be less accurate. I do wish max effort occurred deeper into the windup as I feel it is too early, making it difficult to effectively differentiate your effort behind pitches. .

Did they take out being able to view wind speed this year?I press start at the start of the game to see the wind speed and cannot find it. Am I overlooking something or is it not there this year.

Man, my TV settings must be off, because this game has a "washed out" look to it. Anyone have some recommendations as far as Contrast, Color, Tint, etc. for where I should have my TV set? I have a 32-inch Samsung 720p and it is set to Game Mode.

Are you using HDMI? If so, make sure your RGB Range in your PS3 Video Settings is set to FULL... also, if you suspect it could be the TV, you could look up recommended calibration settings for your particular model on one of the audio/video forums.

Also, with a Sammy that size, you may be able to get away without using game mode and not hurting your experience with input lag. It's worth a try at least.

Yeah, I'm using HDMI and I did check the PS3 settings yesterday and all that was correct.

Quick question about hitting...

I play on veteran with just timing hitting. When I play the game it shows you know, power swing square, contact swing circle, and on the other side it says R2 for guess pitch and something else. Now, I just use X to swing and nothing else because I figured if I'm just using timing I don't need all that other non sense but all those other buttons show on the screen.

My question is... do I need to worry about all that other stuff that's on the screen or can I just use the X button for swinging? Or do I have have to use the guess pitch and what not to hit better?

No, you don't have to use Guess Pitch. You can turn that Off in the Options. As for swinging, X is the default "normal" swing. You can use O for Contact, which is helpful if you're in a 0-2, 1-2 count. Power I will use on 2-0 or 3-1 counts with guys that have good power ratings. But, if you just stick with X, you should be fine.

Thanks man, the only other thing is I did turn off guess pitch but it still shows up on the screen. Either that or I missed something.

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

how do you throw a pick off? All I've been able to do is get the pitcher to step off the bag.

Hold L2 and then press the button of the base you wish to attempt a pickoff.
