    Re: Getting past the frustration and getting a better understanding

    Ha, I've cracked the code!

    I played two games last night and gave up 2 runs in each and 9 and 8 hits allowed respectively. How did I do it after always allowing double digit hits in 40+ games?....COLD ZONES.

    I never even paid attention to those. Well I will from now on. They can still hit in their cold zone, just not as well, and they also swing and miss more there. MUCH better.

    Now I think I can play this again. My one big gripe with this game is the fielding control. Every damn nubber off the plate is a sure hit for the CPU cuz it taked my picther/catcher a year to pick the damn thing up and throw it to first. Too many infield singles!

    Overall though I'm glad I can finally pitch! Hit those cold zones people!

            I'm not into editing ratings too much, but you're right I'm gonna go ahead and do this. Not like I'm gonna be using the pitchers to steal bases or anything. Thanks for the tip.

            Oh and one more thing. Can anyone steal bases effectively? I'm having the hardest time!

                  Re: Getting past the frustration and getting a better understanding

                  yeah...but doing this not only screws up the pitcher's overall effectiveness rating..but also completely changes their individual pitch ratings too. I adjust the position players all the time because I don't mind screwing up their health ratings..but for pitcher's there are too many important ratings that go haywire.

                        Yes, stealing bases. I can't find my instruction manual.

                        I'm playing on CLASSIC running and I'll be danged if I can figure out how to steal. I've pushed the left shoulder button, everything and am having a heck of a time.

                        Someone also mentioned that the pitchers 'slide step'? Is that right? How do you make them do it?

                              To steal using Classic, hold Y and press the direction of the base you are currently on on the direction pad.
