    Re: MLB 13 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

    Just completed my 1st month in AA on HOF settings

    .370 11 HR 30 RBI

    What i notice is that pitchers seem to throw to many strikes so now this month im going to take down slider for strikes to see if that helps

      Dissapointed in the rosters already w RTTS. Haven't played a single game yet and checked the majors lineup (dbacks), Martin Prado is not only batting lead off, he's starting at short, and the dbacks lineup is completely out of wack.

      Roster realism is the one thing that ALWAYS kills RTTS for me, so if there are issues this early I can only assume by the time I make the bigs they will be just like years past

        Your timing and the pitch location dictates where the ball will land and how hard you hit in that direction. The percentages of balls that land in a particular area dictates what it lists as your batting style (Balanced, Pull, Extreme Pull, Opposite, Extreme Opposite). I'm 28/29/43 while mostly batting lefty as a switch hitter so I am labeled as Pull as a lefty and Balanced as a righty. I accidentally made a Teixeira clone. I'm just waiting for the opponents to start implementing the shift on me.

            Wait, I'm confuzed!! Is being a push or pull hitter selectable or is it random?
            I'd hate to make my player all perfect and then get screwed with being an extreme pull hitter when I want to be a scrappy slap hitter.

              yeah I had that issue last year too, I used the sliders as best I could to get a better percentage of balls/strikes. It was frustrating, because being patient..you would still get a great pitch to hit before you would ever see ball 4 so walks were so hard to come by. I'm not Wade Boggs or Manny, I'm not good enough to take a fastball down the heart of the plate...especially when the next pitch will be a slider on the corner for strike 3...

                So can someone tell me if pitching gets better when you get moved up? AA pitchers give me meat ball after meat ball. I have turned down strike% and i still cant work a count if i wanted to cause pitches are just to good not to swing at. Curious once in AAA and MLB if pitchers start throwing more balls/qualitity strikes

                  I'm so excited for the OSFM rosters to come out. I think I am going to make a pure contact second basemen and put almost nothing into power (maybe capping it off at 50 for the career). I want to become that go to lead off or number two guy.

                  I also think I may start a slugging outfielder RTTS just due to the new fly ball cameras and manual catch button.

                    Loving this game so far. I made a SP that got drafted by the A's. My first game I gave up 1 through 5 innings then got shelled for 4 more runs in the 6th. Next game I rebounded and threw a 7 inning, 5 hit, 8 strikeout gem.

                      Re: MLB 13 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

                      Just got done with my 13th game. After going the previous 2 games 2-9 (1-5, 1-4) had the breakout game. Open the game with a single that dropped right in front of left fielder. Coming up in the third we were down 7-3, and I crush a solo shot to left center. Fifth inning we are now down 9-3. Hit a laser on a 2-2 count (after fouling off previous 2 pitches) for another single. Steal second and then our team comes alive as we score three runs to cut the lead to 9-6.

                      Next inning up again and ground one right up the middle. Would steal second for my second stolen base. They would attempt to pick off me or the guy on third for like 8 straight plays (that seemed a little excessive for the only problem I see in the game. Although the crowd was booing so that was funny). Down by 3 in the eight and I barely go over the wall for a three-run shot to tie the game at 9. On the replay they were talking about how I am not really a threat, so this was surprising. Went to extra's and right before coming up in the 10th the lead off man hit a solo shot to win the game.

                      Best game I played so far with my player with a 5-5 day, 2 HR's, 2 SB's, 2 R's, and 5 RBI's.

                          Made a power hitting LF, got drafted by the Rays. Think of Mark Reynolds type

                            Nice. I made a right fielder and placed myself on the Rays. My favorite AL team.

                                Where can I see whether my player is a pull or push hitter? I can't seem to find this info anywhere…
