How Can I "Get Into" The Show?

[XxSpiritHunterX]

MLB The Show is a great franchise. I've bought ever single game since 12 and loved it for the short time I played it. But my novice of playing the game to a level against CPU made me stop playing it weeks after getting it. But I still like the series a lot and MLB 15 is sounding great but I'm not sure if I want it.

I still have MLB 14 on PS4, so I'll probably start playing that more until the new one comes out. But can I get some tips on how I can motivate myself to play the game more and more? Particularly with playing against CPU in franchise mode and such.

Are you taking advantage of the dynamic difficulty option? That will help you match your skill best for the cpu.

I've tried playing on a set difficulty so I'll try that. Thanks. Any more tips?

Dynamic difficulty, or just use Beginner for a while. Adjust the sliders to give you more of an advantage until you get the hang of it. try different camera views for both batting and pitching, see if that helps.

What specifically are you having trouble with? Is it just hitting, or just pitching, both?

I have no problem with either but I just have a harder time pitching against cpu

What difficulty were you playing on? Did you have it set the same for pitching and hitting?

Nothing wrong with Quick Counts & Simming every other game on a 162 schedule. Or just play one game of every series.
Also, reward yourself when you knock a block of 20 games or so off the schedule. Think ice cream, or a steak dinner.

And with carry over saves, there's no rush to finish a season in franchise quickly. Just be sure to play at least a couple games, or series, every week.
When you can get a used copy of Show 15 cheap, then make the move from 14 to 15, and carry over your progress.
Also, if todays players aren't your favorite, then check out some classic rosters to play a season (not recommended for franchise IMO)
