Just one question. Pitching without a ball marker how can you tell how much break are on the curveballs and sliders? Do you use pitchers ratings as a guideline to movement on breaking balls?

My suggestion is when you first start going clean screen use the ball marker. This will allow you to get a good feel of each pitchers breaks. Once you turn it off you will know depending on if they are a RHP or LHP how there various pitches breaks. on either a RHB or a LHB.

Also I always throw my relief pitchers warm up pitches. Two reasons.

1. See how their stuff is moving that day.
2. Build pitch confidence (yes when you throw strikes in warm ups it builds the confidence in the respective pitches).

If I have a pitcher with 4 different pitches I throw two of each in warm ups. 3 different pitches 2-2-2 and then dealers choice on the last two. Just 2 pitches....4 and 4.

I'm always torn on this as well.. If you control all 30 teams, you can set all the in's and outs to auto, while leaving certain things on manual.

But I always end up getting overwhelmed and go with single team control and live with it.

Only time that drives me nuts is when i cant make a trade for a guy the Mets actually get etc.

The only thing I have on manual is lineups. The rest is set to auto. Very easy. I simply hate the lineup and pitching rotation/bullpen management/injury management of the CPU.

It is so easy to make sure their lineups are sound and realistic. Too many times they have platoons that should not be happening. Plus I play deep...in year 4 for two franchises right now and have loved the storylines and trades stories I have been able to create.

It is personal preference. But at the very least lineups for me; is a must to control.

I've played The Show since its inception and was always a meter/zone player until last year when I adopted the classic/directional approach. I loved the Classic pitching but struggled a bit in my affinity for Directional hitting. And I'm curious this year how the "perfect-perfect" hits will translate to directional. Obviously the timing is up to the user but the contact is a dice-roll. With zone hitting I love when I guess right on a location (which doesn't happen much) and time everything up perfectly, see the pitch well and crush it. It is frustrating at times with Directional when you see a pitch well but pop it up or roll over on it. I know, I know that's baseball. But I'm still torn on which approach to use. Thoughts on that and the "perfect-perfect" swings? They mentioned about 2% of swings are perfect-perfect. I wonder how that will translate to Directional?

Show nation it's almost time. I'm so damn excited. The show just got done down loading on my ps4 and I cant wait. 27 and a half hours.

I'm ready for year 1 of my new Braves franchise. As soon as Armor gets the sliders fine tuned I'm off and running. Tomorrow might be the longest day ever. This game has my 42 year old *** felling like a kid.
