Beaux Leone - the Cajun Blonde Bomber (Braves 3B) sending one seep vs the BoSox's Vincente Padilla. Power swing on a 3-1 4SFB with a 41mph wind blowing out.



Another view - also my PS3 wallpaper.

Is that the best you can do?

JUST missed getting a screenshot of the distance on this, but here's video. 504 feet on a hanging curveball hit by my RTTS 3B Walt Reed. First home run I've ever hit over 500 feet in MLB: The Show going back to '07.

Welcome... you are the 54th addition to "The Board". 504' is a rather boisterous way to introduce yourself.

Re: MLB 12: The Show - O.S. Longball Competition

Just a 468 ft with my RTTS player at the White Sox. Crazy because his pwr is only at like 52. This is only like the 2nd time that the game has shown the distance since I got it on the release date, does anybody know if there is a setting or anything? I have all of the updates, thanks in advance.

Add a pic or video and I'll get ya on the board.

I hit a HR with Zimmerman on the Nats over the seats and everything in left field at Wrigley, I get the screenshot tool ready to snap a photo.... and they never say how far it went.

Yeah the same thing happens to me almost everytime i hit a HR. Not sure if its a glitch or a setting that i keep over looking, but it is very annoying.

With the game only telling you home run distance every now and then in RTTS (hate this so much), before this my farthest known HR was 451. Pretty inadequate compared to some of the bombs already here, so if I was gonna share, it was gonna be a good one.

Keep pluggin' away...I'll have to start a "Clubbin' in the Clubs" Club if you make it in all categories up to 500'.

I hear ya. I've been in the 430's (enough to beat my 432') but I didn't feel like it was worth the time to update it. A couple nights ago I put one out over 450' with my RTTS guy. It only took about a month, but I'm finally making some progress.

I've also had some issues in RTTS with the distance not showing like others here. And there have been some bombs that I just shake my head on when they don't say the distance.

Yeah, I've hit two home runs on my 3B that completely left PNC Park and I'll never know the number on them.

This is the first year I'm using the power swing until I have two strikes on me. Since you can hit home runs just fine with the normal swing I'd always use that, but it's a lot more fun when you're hitting monster shots. I'll take the BA hit for that.

Yeah, I'm a LF for the Pirates and just hit a bomb over the seats in the right-center power alley, but they didn't show the distance. I'm still not over it. The distance on the wall for the right-center alley is 375' but this HR went over the wall a little to the left of that down the angle. At the point the ball went over the wall it was actually closer to 385-395 feet; throw in the fact that it cleared the seats and I may have finally hit my first 450'+ homer but really have no way of knowing. Here's a video.

Click on range rings. Looks like it was around 450 if I'm reading that right?

This was 444 and looks pretty close to yours. His was a little more toward center so maybe 435 - 440?

Welcome my friend. Not too many opposite field shots so far, even thought it was only slightly right of center, still a very nice one.
