My Player mode fixes

[fhhs63]

Okay, I've noticed a few problems with some My Player features, and I have a few suggestions:

1. Make wall climb either right bumper or left, since you almost never climb the wall, and always throw to first

2. On pop flys, move the throwing meter up in the picture so you can actually see it and time your throwing right instead of guessing

3. When you steal and someone is on the base in front of you, automatically make the person in front of you steal as well

4. When you hit the ball and are running around the bases, if you try and stretch it, make the guy a base ahead of you do it as well

5. When there is a ball that is headed for the warning track or further, my player always seems to run in circles, and runs forward instead of backwards

Also, maybe a "quit/restart" option in the menu.

That is definitely a needed fix. I just finished my first season at SS, and never made the turn.

I would also like to see some additions to baserunning. The only way to get points is to score or do a hit and run, both of which depend on teammates getting hits or the manager deciding to call for a hit and run. I know you can also steal or tag up, but starting out with speed in the 50's, it is almost impossible. I would like to see points given for taking an extra base (going first to third on a single), advancing into scoring position, those sorts of things.

Allow us to upload a song for batter walkup music.

There are some other things about general gameplay, like always using the same lineups, the fact that I never saw a home run by a teammate while on base, but for a first effort, I love this mode and am exciting for what it can become!

Also, on some stadiums, the distance numbers when batting (on the walls to show how far it is from the plate) get in the way. What I mean by that is that when the pitcher releases the ball, the ball gets blended in with the numbers and make it impossible to see the ball.

Wrigley Field is really bad,but thats the only one that is really gamechanging.

How do you make the base runner ahead of you steal? I'd love to do some double steals, but I don't know how. I figure with my 98 speed and 94 acceleration, I should be able to pull some of these off with Ichiro and Figgins hitting in front of me but I've never been able to do it.

You can't, that why I think it needs to be implemented. You don't know how many triples I missed out on because the runner ahead of me decided to stay on 3rd.

Definitely this! I get on base with a high degree of regularity, but oftentimes do not score because the hitters behind me are TERRIBLE. So while I'm in the 70s/80s in hitting and fielding, I'm still in the 50s for most of the baserunning skills because the team behind me can't get me home.

Re: My Player mode fixes

The easiest way to get baserunning points is to hit homeruns you get 50 Points for every homerun i have my speed at 89 right now and have hit like 46 homeruns at the allstar break yeah i know im on pro but that is the best way to earn points

Re: My Player mode fixes

HRs are hard to hit, even on Pro. I only have 1 HR and I'm very confused on how to hit HRs, especially since I'm now playing on All-Star.

Re: My Player mode fixes

First question. What is your power ratings at?
My players is a switch hitter and his power stats are 95 power and 90 contact batting left handed and 85 contact and 85 power when batting from the right side. Mostly I have found that it is all in the pitch that is thrown. Usually any pitch up in the strike zone and using the power swing I usually Jack it out of the park. Also there is quite a few which are thrown in the same location that I just pop up alot. A well timed power swing with a good pitch and u should be able to hit It out. Even in the minors when my power was only 60 I still hit a couple of home runs when the right pitch is thrown and a good power swing.

Re: My Player mode fixes

77 all around, contact and power both sides. I never do power swings anymore, since when you swing, it takes like a second for your batter to react. And if it takes a second to react, and you're supposed to push down when the pitcher releases the ball, if it's anything faster than a cut fastball, it's an automatic strike/foul backwards.

Re: My Player mode fixes

you need to switch to the classic batting mode so you won't have to worry about the power swing being too long
