MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

I haven't been traded, but I'm only a month in.

I feel like the Jack Parkman of the Chattanooga Lookouts.

I lead the team in batting average at .329. Luckily another everyday player finally broke .300.

I only have 3 runs and am lucky to have 10 RBI because no one else seems to get on.

My slow *** is tied for first in SB despite being a fat first baseman, though

they just pulled my green light. I have no business stealing any way but the
catcher wasn't close to throwing me out the other 3 times.

I kill the ball at home, batting almost .400. The sad part is, I have the most hits with RISP and still my RBI stats are that low.

I am Chattanooga! And we are in last. Can I be like Parkman and demand a trade?

Wow that's funny lol we were in last( chatanuga) then they traded me to the worse place team an they end up in first lol it's bull I was there best hitter league leading in avg hits and SB's

Maybe the coach knew something you didn't and prevented you from potential career-ending embarrassment in the 7th? You never know!

Or maybe he prevented me from striking out 9 straight batters lol.

Either way, after my first month, I'm still the worst DBacks SP in AA lol(though I went from the worst in AA to now one of the best) but I'm quickly catching up to everyone, and leading the league in alot of categories like K's and ERA

Or a career-ending injury! O.o

I seem to have a decent coach with my pitcher. I'm on the Dodgers AA team and he'll get me into the seventh each time, and he seems to keep me unless a I let a runner get passed second in one of those late innings.

After raising my BA over .200 I started to hit a groove; hitting in 4 straight, but then went 0-for-7 in a 13 inning game, talk about a momentum killer.

I actually switch the CPU Manager Hook to 0. When I feel like I should be pulled, I max it out. There's been a few times where I've basically cried to get pulled -- only to give up 4 or 5 runs with 0 energy left (default on 5). Once I found that out, I've been happier.

Cheers, I didn't know this.I also have been on the mound still with no energy and starting to get hit around.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

A lot of Lookouts players here. I got an e-mail the other day saying they liked what I was doing, but there was no room to call me up. Have a 9-game hitting streak going. My team finally started coming around offensively, at least a bit. I don't feel like I'm carrying the team as much anymore.

And bastard manager ended the hitting streak. I never ever get a hit as a pinch hitter and they are obsessed with doing that to me at least once a week.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

My player in AAA is currently in a bad slump. Two hits in last six games, seven in the last ten games. The thing that really stinks is that it is quite clear that the game has decided it is time for me to be in a slump. Everything I hit is directly at someone. Most of my contact is weak ground balls to the second baseman.

I really don't like how long it takes the AI managers to make a change when you are in a slump. Perhaps I shouldn't be batting cleanup right now...

I Have had the same thing since I got called up to AAA, but mostly liners that look like hits but go right to the Outfielders.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

What is a good number for my pitchers contact and speed to be? Cause the default is 0, but my guy can't hit or run at all when it's 0, but i don't wanna waste too much of my points on this stuff though

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Just got trade to the rockies for marco scutaro. And considering I'm a SS, not going to be easy to get called up.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Just started mine. I'm a SS that got drafted by the Royals and am in AA. Started off slow, but have picked it up and am hitting .240(ish) with 5 rbi through the first couple weeks of the season. I've drawn 3 BB to 3 K and, while its a very small sample size, I'm really focusing on trying to keep my K/BB ratio as close to 1 as I can.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Probably a newbie question but is there a way to add another pitch to your repertoire and drop a pitch? my 12-6 Curve is getting hammered,lol

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Was traded from the Reds, along with Sean Marshall, to the Tigers for Max Scherzer. Kinda dissapointed because I was really looking forward to play for Cincinatti and Detroit also has Austin Jackson on their team.
