UPDATE
8 (W, 8-0)
I did this yesterday before bed. I'm glad I decided to try each team once, but I wish Hawaii wasn't my last. For the most part, I had the pitching down well (I gave up 5 runs total in my first 3 games) but batting was an issue. Although all my runs came in the sixth inning, this was still my best performance.
I noticed this game is getting a lot of hostility this week, and I do understand it. The mechanics can be wonky at times and as I stated in my previous post, the camera angle is odd. I still feel its better than I thought it would be, since most reviews I read ahead of time were bad to average, but I still don't plan on buying it anytime soon.
Also, I made a mistake in my earlier post. I work all next weekend and I'm actually off tomorrow, so I'm going to be playing more tomorrow.
I can understand the hostility. Yes the batters' view is odd and playing the game can feel like a grind since it's not as fast paced as many other baseball games,but it really is a great game. As far as the batting goes,definitely wait on pitches as usually you will hit a ball foul or pop out/ground out if you swing as soon as you are able to hit the ball.
Also if the pitch is low and inside/outside or high inside/outside,make sure you swing towards or away from that pitch to increase your chances of a hit,e.g. low and away pitch,swing low and towards the ball. Swinging just low you'll probably make contact,but foul it off or get an out. You can also get out of run downs with some practice as well.
I also tried to do my pitching trick using DC...it doesn't work for any of the pitchers on that team.
Yeah, DC was the team I always used since we they didn't have a Baltimore team. I just played for the first time in soo many years and I still stand by that that strike zone is horrible lol.
If using DC, their philly pitcher seems to always start with a low fastball then the moving changeup, i usually lay off those pitches til the 3rd one is varies between a at the knees fast ball or right on the outside plate(s), at least that's when I played so idk if the selection is random.
