Did you know you can have your RTTS walk up to any song youd like?

Re: Did you Know?

Did you know if you press FLIP (square) in the Batting Analysis Menu, you will see graphs of your user hot zones based on your batting average and slugging in that game?

Re: Did you Know?

Did you know you can influence the direction of a hit by holding R2 and using the right analog stick?

I didn't know this! If I use timing I can still do this before the pitch?

Re: Did you Know?

Did you know you can mix and match uniforms in the uniform select screen?

Did you know you can access your bullpen and any other managerial related options by pressing up on the d-pad?

Did you know you can influence the type of swing you put on a ball by flicking the right stick left, right, up or down pre-pitch in timing or zone hitting?

Re: Did you Know?

Did you know that analog hitting features direction-sensitive swing influencing?

Did you know that there is a Save Screenshot feature in the Photos section of the XMB?

Did you know that you can import your own custom soundtracks into the game for menus, player intros, and other game-related events?

Did you know that in-game time progression and weather effects hinge on the ballpark location and the time of year?

Did you know that warming up a pitcher before first appearing can increase his readiness and pitch confidence?



I think it would also be cool if there were other tidbits in baseball itself and not just The Show, such as what might constitute a balk (delivering to the plate before completing your stretch motion) or only being allowed one mound visit per inning, etc.

You don't need to hold down R2, it's been that way for zone and timing hitting since I've started playing MLB 2006.

Re: Did you Know?

pressing r3 in the batters box allows you to scan the infield, especially nice for checking on the 3b depth for bunt attempts

Re: Did you Know?

Did you know that if you change Guess Pitch to classic 1/4, correct guesses will show the exact location of the pitch?

Did you know that you can edit player ratings during season and franchise modes?

Did you know you can choose whether to field or not during RTTS?

I guess we'll have to disagree then. I've also played the game since '06 and there's been lots of control changes since then.

I guess I find it odd then that when you move just the right stick, you get no feedback, but when you hold down R2 and do it you get a rumble confirmation. Even more odd that the in game controls says to hold R2.

Re: Did you Know?

Here are some very important things I l learned that the general public may not know about; things not in the manual or instructional screens in the game:

1. Did you know turning your TV to 'game mode' makes it much easier to hit. This will lessen standard game lag found in all video games. When playing other sports games like football, you might not notice a difference. This feature is absolutley essential for the game of baseball, however, where fractions of a second are absolutely vital.

2. Did you know if you customize a hitting camera with the 'offset' camera angle, you can not only adjust everything about it, it will also automatically adjust accordingly for lefty/righty, lefty/lefty, etc matchups. This slight offset view will dramatically help you pickup the ball out of the pitchers hand easier/more realistic than the standard 2D 90* angle camera view.

3. Did you know you on defense you can 'pre load' your throws.

4. Did you know turning off the strike zone and guess pitch (off or no feedback) will improve your hitting. These things are like training wheels. You need a goal to someday take the training wheels off.

Did you know that while pitching, after selecting a pitch, you can press L1 to step off the rubber and go through the signs again?
