    I'm going to take this game back... The pitching blows

    I've posted 3 posts on this already, I know, but I can't stand it anymore. I've played 15 games. The lowest score was a 1-0 loss. I gave up 11 hits. That's also the fewest number of hits I've given up. I just finished a game in which I lost 16-4 while giving up 27 hits. I'm playing on Rookie. I've never had this much trouble effectively pitching in an ASB game, especially on ASB. I don't know how well you guys are pitching, but nothing I know works. Again, please, someone tell me something that will save the game for me. I'm tired of these games. 11 hits should be an outlier on the upper side of the spectrum, not the lower. I should be able to strike out more than 5 guys in a game. So unless anyone can talk me out of it this game is going back on the shelves.

    Yesterday I gave up 2 runs on 15 hits, but I think it was because I was not working the strike zone a whole lot until I would get in trouble.

        It may be a good idea to take the game back becasue you suck at it! You're giving up that many hits on Rookie? You must be grooving it right down the middle of the strike zone. I had to move up to all star last nite after allowing only 1 run on 7 hits with my Rangers against Oakland. This was on Veteran and I won 13-1. It's not an arcade style game, you have to think about and properly locate your pitches.

                Try this: I don't know which team your using but if you give you outfielders a little more speed with the player editor its makes a world of difference. The CPU does'nt hit that many homeruns so if your players are fast and the ball stays in the park it should cut the number of hits in half. I tried this inadvertantly or how ever you spell that word and I couln't get the CPU to score. I threw fastballs right down the middle the whole game and pitched a shut out with...........the Detroit Tigers. Also boost your pitchers fatigue in the player editor that has a big effect. Hope it works.

                    this game takes some time to be good at it. I almost gave up myself, but now I'm glad I didn't.

                        seriously, if you gave up 11 hits on rookie level and that's the LOWEST total you've given up - you suck.

                        I play on All Star and have pitched a 3 hitter. You should be no-hitting dudes on rookie.

                            Are you utilizing the hot-cold spots for each batter? I live on that.
