    MLB 15 The Show: Some Tips on How to Throw A No Hitter



    Pitching a no-no in MLB 15: The Show is a herculean task. To be honest with you I’ve never done it, although I have gotten close throwing a few one-hitters.

    It’s something that can be done and many have done it, but for those who haven’t here are some tips that may help you...

    I threw a perfect game with Joe Kelly of the Cardinals vs. the Brewers in MLB The Show 13. The biggest problem I've had to deal with is the 19 foul balls every inning that drives your pitch count up.

      I've thrown 3 so far in my franchise this season.... the Cardinals. 2 by Wacha and 1 with Waino. Came close to a perfect game with Waino. An error by Wong in the 9th screwed that up. But I tell you what... each time I had to keep wiping my hands..... sweaty palms from the nerves and excitement.

        Two low inside fast ball to get 0 - 2. The high inside cutter to finish them off. This work a lot of the time for me. I had a perfect game last year and three no hitters this year.

        If you really want to do it easy, just flip the pitch scene to the batter view. Piece of cake. I Have a perfect game this year from this angle and 19 ks. In the same game. I don't could this as a perfect game because the difficulty seemed easier.

          There's a slider for that.

            MLB 14 was my first year and early in my first season I threw one with King Felix and at the time I didn't even realize it was happening until the game was over so perhaps that helped not thinking about it because I haven't come close since then (which is how it should be of course ... so I'm actually happy about that).

            I will add that it was using Quick Counts when I threw it ... curious for those who've played more than I have if you think it's harder or easier with Quick Counts ... I'd think it's easier using Quick Counts other than dealing with inflated pitch counts that you don't have full control over.

              I got thru 7 2/3's two nights ago w/ Aaron Sanchez. Gave up a single up the middle that was just out the reach of Reyes. Usually I start thinking about it after 5 innings, but it was a playoff game and I didn't score until the top of the 7th, so I hadn't put much thought into throwing a perfect game until I got that run. Then just like that, it was over.

                I was lucky enough to pull of a no-no with Big Game James Shields last summer.

                I think you need to add #11: Avoid collapsing when the CPU tries to screw you, i had a fly ball in the air to RF as the final out in the no-hitter only to have Aoki randomly drop the ball as he was camped under it so technically i had to get 28 outs for my no-no! Aside from overcoming testicular cancer, the deaths of both parents and being abandoned by my wife, mustering up the mental fortitude to get that 28th out ranks high in my life's achievements.

                  I threw a perfect game with my RTTS guy in MLB 14 in AA, and a perfect game with Tanaka (13 strikeouts) against the Cards. Had never had one before that. Also, threw a perfect game with Sabathia (12 strikeouts) in MLB 13 (against Orioles). Threw a no hitter this year with Tanaka (17 strikeouts, 1 walk)---this one was done on All-Star. Others were on veteran when I played on veteran still. Up until MLB 13 I had always fallen short.

                    i threw a perfect game with marcus stroman vs the white sox.

                    i didn't know i was throwing a PG until the 7th inning when the announcer commented on it. i'll say the last 2 innings were intense as F.

                      Threw a no-no in Diamond Dynasty. My first no hitter since RBI Baseball (the original).

                          The one and only time I ever threw a no no on MLB The Show was on 2009 with my New York Yankees and with AJ Burnett!!

                          It was amazing.

                          Classic Pitching was the interface.

                            I've thrown 2 NO-NO's. One in 2013 and one in 2014, both with Brandon Morrow. Been close a couple of other times, but none this year not even close.

                              Closest I've gotten is a full game shutout against the Yankees with Price.
