Thanks for SOME of the answers.

As for the post that says I need to watch and play more ball.....I did watch the game (at 4 CT), I watch several games a week (satelite package...gotta follow my A's) and have played for over 30 years. I have coached the game, been a partial season ticket owner for the Rangers. I attend high school and Minor league games around Texas when I visit those cities they are in.

Point is...the gameplay still bores me at times. I was looking for tweaks that might help me. Many games have sliders that you can adjust that will fix it so that the starters don't last for 15 innings or be able to K 19.Yes, I like the pitching meter in MVP...yes, I wish I could set it so that I didn't have such good control. I am not a manage person at this point in my life. I like to play the game.

I really like a lot of this game, so again...if there is anybody who has some tips, please let me know.

The pinpoint pitch control goes waaay south in the later innings or on HOF or Legend, so you may need to bump up the difficulty if you've found the pitching too easy. Like Inin said, the AI is a ton better than MVP, and on the harder levels, its feels great to get a called third strike(an event missing from another un-mentioned game

) on a unexpected curve in on the hands after pounding the zone away with heat.

Give it some time...

FYI, MVP features a fair amount of called strikes, using the exact method you referred to. Just takes some practice.

For you maybe.....for many other gamers on many forums, there are major GAMEPLAY ISSUES that DO affect the game. And no, they aren't easily overlooked by some.

To the original poster, if you don't enjoy the game then try another game. Just make sure you give each game it's fair shake until you decide.

Right. No point in insinuating comments b/c the user can't do something that many others can.

Okay, Try this and see if it helps:

First select your favorite team (from your post I am assuming it is the Oakland A's).
Then create/edit the top ten (10) prospects in your organization. Also, make trades you would make if you were the GM/Billy Bean (cool name

), or keep it close to real life.

Start your Season, which begins in Spring Training. Call up your top Prospect to the Majors to play with your squad in Spring Training games. You don't have to start him, just put him in situations were he has a good chance at success, say Pinch hit, Pinch run, Defensive Replacement; But I don't think you wan't him to play the whole game, because attribute points are awarded for completing certain tasks, and you don't wan't your top Prospect to go 0-4 at the dish.
Oh and don't forget your prospect will lose an option once he is brought up to the Majors for Spring Training, but you can send him down when the season starts and fill his Roster spot with a Free Agent or another player you can call up.

Oh, I almost forgot. When you get to the Allstar break play the Futures Game and see how your top Prospect measures up with other Minor Leaguers.

Now if that doesn't get you involved?

Happy Gaming
