MLB 11 "Road To The Show" thread

It was bound to happen sooner or later, after smashing the cover off the ball half way through my 2nd season, the Giants Organization traded me to the Mets in a 4 player deal.

My 1B RTTS player has responded by going crazy at the plate since being traded, vowing to make sure the Giants realize the mistake they made by giving up their best young prospect.

My first 4 games with my new team the AAA Buffalo Bisons:

Game 1: 4 for 5 with (1)2B and (3)1B
Game 2: 3 for 5 with (1)2B and (2)1B
Game 3: 3 for 5 with (1)2B and (2)1B
Game 4: 3 for 5 with (1)HR, (1)2B, (1)1B and 5 RBI

Stats for past 10 Games:

AVG .426
Hits 20
HR's 3
RBI 8

Finished my first season as a CF in the Nationals organization(I was traded from the Texans).I got promoted to the AAA club shorty before the end of the 1st season and am on the AAA bench to start the 2nd season. BTW, has anyone ever made the majors from spring training? I didn't even get a AB this spring training, and I rarely get more than 1 ab a game in spring training.

Not to mention, SO MANY OF THEM throw knuckleballs. At least it's not like last year. I was a left-handed batter, and almost every single starter I faced was a lefty. It was pretty annoying.

I noticed the same thing and bumped the CPU Strike Frequency Slider down 2 notches and it has made it much more realistic.

You might try playing all 3 phases of the game. I've noticed the games really slow down when you do that. I think it'll be awhile before we get the next patch.

I saw two that even had a knuckleball and neither threw one in the games I faced them. It's nowhere near as bad a last year.

Please, there's like 2 pitchers in the whole league who use the knuckleball to get thru 6 innings. There needs to be some type of randomizer that goes on predetermined percentages when the game creates CPU pitchers and their repertoires......
