    A workaround is to log into XBL within the game and then at the online desk or something like that there are online settings, set all the tickers to never and you won't see them again.

      how do you use total control pitching on the PS3 version. every time i throw a pitch its a meat ball and gets crushed. i like the game but the total control pitching is screwed.

      i use the aerial fielding camera , its better than the pole camera, check it out

        Spend some time in the pitching tutorial that accessible in the pause menu while playing the game. Just press the START button and it's in the first menu screen that comes up. You can practice as long as you want to and then bounce back into the game.

          Yep that's what I tried but it appears to be broken.

            Worked perfect for me also, so double check you've turned them off in the XBL Online Desk. It still pulls up the online leaders from time to time tho.

              The manual is wrong. You have to push up to get him to swing. There is no contact/power swing. Its all one swing.

                Is there any way to check the Box score of a game after you finished playing it and returned to the schedule screen, or the boxscore of a game played by the CPU. I can't seem to access boxscores, I can only see the box score of a game I played/managed at the end of the game, the moment I return to the schedule screen I can no longer access it and I can't believe this is true, reading box scores of other games is a integral part of following baseball.

                  I hit a looping liner up the middle. The second baseman made a diving catch and had a nice ice cream cone. He popped up and showed it to the ump before running off the field. It was so cool to see the ball extended out of the top of the glove.

                    Is there a way to turn on an indicator on the ball at all? I sit way back from my TV and use the aerial cam and it's crazy hard to pick out the ball when it's hit sharply on the ground. I know there is the ball trails option but that doesn't seem to help at all.

                    Props to the posts in here that let us know how to hit the cutoff man and to reset the catcher. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out! Why did they even bother to include a manual with this game? Half the stuff is wrong or worded incorrectly in there!

                      Yep you correct. My mistake. I had missed turning off the NHL updates.

                      It would be nice to turn off the online leaders as well. I really dot care that "A55-hat 69" has the best won/loss record or the lowest ERA and I sure as hell don't want it to interrupt my game. I do like it when the ticker gives me game specific updates like pitcher warming up etc.

                      Thanks for the help. I like this game.

                              Y is intentional walk and X is pitch out.

                              You can find this and many other bit's of info from the pause menu/tips

                                Most of the questions asked in here can be answered by the in game tips section. The manual is absolutely terrible, and doesn't help at all, but the in game tips have helped me out quite a bit.
