I've played around with this title for around 70 games or so and now have decided to take the plunge of starting a franchise with the New York Mets. I have made player edits suggested by Knight and Jim416 and i play on the Veteran level, 2d cursor, classic pitch speed, all aids on, strike zone on, and the 2004 camera. Here are some things that i have observed:
* Pitching: For the most part it's cool (considering i use random gen. count) that when my pitcher who's losing control will get wild and walk batters. I throw to mostly the cold zones of the opposing hitters and sometimes it's like they know what's coming and will smoke it for an extra base hit. It never really dawned on me that i should mix it up by sometimes throwing in the red zones every now and then to keep them off balance.
* Hitting: Using 2d has been good for me because i can usually get about 8-10 hits a game and i get homeruns from just about everyone from the big guns to the punch and judy hitters. It takes to know your hot/ cold zones.
* Fielding: Can't really comment about the fieldercam since i play with auto field. However, i choose to manually position my fielders instead of having the cpu do it for me because they have my outfielders playing in.
Like i had said before, i played around 70 games in an aborted expansion franchise and i was getting my *** handed to me. But then again all the players i drafted were rated C+ or lower, it's no wonder i got killed.
