    Im getting killed in this game.

    Is it me or does the CPU hit alot of homeruns, i was using Seattle playing against the Orioles with Sammy and the cpu was killing me Mora, hit a hr, tejada hit a Homerun,and so did Sosa, all in the 1st inning.

    Am i doing something wrong?

    Re: Im getting killed in this game.

    I played 3 games last night (1 on Pro and 2 on All Star) and I got killed in two of them. I won my pro game 10-9. I too gave up a lot of bombs, but I made some mistake pitches. I got murdered on All Star 8-3 and 13-3. I am pretty new to the series, so I have to adjust, but I like how difficult it is. You really have to pitch smart!

        I played 2 games last night- lost both (on Pro). I was the Yanks and lost to the Mets 3-2. I couldnt touch Pedro until the 8th when he tired and Giambi blasted a 2 run shot (he shot up before the game). The computer hit 2 HR's off Johnson, a 2 run shot by Phillips and a solo by Beltran.
        I then played the Tigers against Washington. I lost 6-0. It was a shutout until the 7th when I put in German and he got lit up (3 run HR by Nick Johnson).
        I found both of these games very challenging, no walks, but a normal amount of hits for both teams. I also use the BTP cam for both hitting & pitching, and it takes a lot of getting used to.

            I got bombed a few times my first game on Pro, but I got the feel for it and pitched a shutout my second game. My problem is I can't hit, especially with man on base. My only run through 2 games has been a solo HR(a lot of that is due to poor baserunning though, I am still getting used to it).

            I guess a few more games on Pro to figure out the hitting(the pressure sensitive guessing is absolutely killing me!) and then hopefully pitching will be a little bit harder on All-Star.

                You can actually hit with the BTP view? Excellent!!!

                Still waiting for the PS2 version, but that's good to hear. I always liked that view, but could never hit from it.

                    Yep, you can hit that way- I only play with the BTP view in every baseball game, feels more like a TV broadcast game that way. To hit from that view in 2K5 is tough so far, im late on a lot of pitches and almost every pitch looks like its in the same place when it leaves the pitchers hand so I swing at almost everything.

                        Re: Im getting killed in this game.

                        On rookie both me and the cpu were hitting homeruns crazy so i turned it up to pro. Now the scores are more realistic but i have a hard time getting runs its like my players cant get hits, and then there confidence meter goes down. I actually started using the contact swing rather than homerun and was able to get more basehits but it is frustrating to have men in scoring position and not be able to drive in runs. Is there a way to turn off confidence meter this year. I could not find a way to turn it off.

                            Say that again? Last time I checked, there was no BTP camera in last year's game, and not every baseball game is out this year. When you say BTP, are you talking about batting from the pitcher's perspective?
