Batting Practife Before Games in RTTS

[YeOldTonk]

Does it really have any effect on your game?

I remember warming up as a pitcher always helped with your confidence in any pitch that you warmed up with, but I don't see any indication that doing the BP before your game helps.

Am I missing something?

Never really tried it, but now I am curious to know as well.

Nope. I might do it when I first start up the game to get my timing down if I haven't played in awhile. Otherwise, I skip it.

No, but i wish it was easier to launch balls during BP. Similar to hitting in the home run derby.

The way it is right now is like a normal game probably.

Don't kno if this is wat u r referring to. But if u go to ur calendar before the game click a previous day. Go to batting practice. Once inside pause the screen. U will see modes. U can practice base running & bat control

The BP doesn't really do anything but It helps get you accustomed to the stadium and the dimensions if you haven't played there before

What bugs me the most is it's always a right handed pitcher. I use a switch hitter in RTTS and the opponent's starting pitcher dictates what side you take BP from but the batting practice pitcher is always a righty.

Of course he's never going to have the same arm slot as the pitcher you face but it be nice if the handedness was the same.

I am with you 100% on this. While my RTTS is fairly balanced vs both right handed and left handed pitchers, I initially gave him slightly better a slightly better contact rating vs right handed pitchers since the majority of starting pitchers tend to be right handed.

It really screws me up when I take batting practice before facing a pitcher who throws left handed because I use the PCI and it is noticeably different due to the disparity in ratings my player has.

I become frustrated after the first few times and started skipping batting practice all together whenever I face a left handed pitcher since I felt like it was doing more harm than good.

While this is not a significant problem for me, more of an annoyance, I could see this being an issue for players who wish to develop a player who crushes lefties and is only slightly above average vs right handers.
