Hold down the black button and then move the left stick left or right, depending on which way you want to move.

to check if its working, have the strike zone, hot/cold on and try to move.

be sure you hold the button 7 down when moving left or right on left analog stick.

you should see the strike zone move.

I currently play with everything on. I've only had the game for 3 weeks.

MizzouRah · 03-23-2005, 11:16 PM

I've been using the 6/3 view due to the slight angle in batting. Had 7 hits against Pedro.

It's tough to tell an inside strike though.

Todd

Draft Dodger · 03-25-2005, 05:58 PM

so, the game arrived today.

first thing I found out was that my trusty old Gravis Gamepad Pro doesn't seem to be supported...so I guess I'll need to pick up a new gamepad.
second thing I noticed was that I have no clue how to get rid of the obnoxious music. can it be turned off (or, at least, down???).
third thing: interface is kind of a mess...which is a criticism I've had for just about ever EA game I've played. I assume I'll get used to it, but why do their games have to be such a clusterfuck? (yeah, I do know the answer to that)

anyway, can't really comment more until I get a gamepad - tried to play a game on the keyboard, and it just wasn't happening...

FBPro · 03-25-2005, 06:11 PM

You can turn the music down all the way, first thing I did.

MizzouRah · 03-25-2005, 09:34 PM

I love the music.

Tessie....

Todd

samifan24 · 03-25-2005, 10:25 PM

I'm buying The Bravery's new cd when it comes out next week. I guess the music took its toll on me, but I still skip most of the songs.

Galaril · 03-25-2005, 11:59 PM

Anyone recommend rosters for the pc version?

DaddyTorgo · 03-26-2005, 12:07 AM

i'm using llcmac & hypnoxxx's 3.4 roster set and it seems fine. Then again I havn't done comparing and contrasting with any others. It's available on MVPmods.com

jbmagic · 03-26-2005, 02:32 AM

the most popular and best one is llcmac & hypnoxxx's roster( named change to HLS now)

and just was reading there bringing GForce22 to the team. from what i hear he iis great with making roster and doing the ratings. he came up with formulas to get the correct rating by stats

there next release will be around opening day.

I could not get that roster set to work.I am pretty sure the problem is i didn't have the Korea terminator guy's Bonds and millar cyber faces added to the game so it kept crashing. I couldn't get the RAR Files for those two into the game/ Th ereadme for these aren't written very well. Anyways I gave up but was able to load the
Real Baseball System 2005 Rosters which are going to be compatible with Bill Harris' MVP progression mod like the one he did last year so I am using it and it is pretty good. Anyways my first full game the yankees got 24 runs on 30 hits while my red osx got 6 runs on 8 hits on Pro level. I need to improve my pitching the minigame didn't really help.Suggestions?

Draft Dodger · 03-26-2005, 11:46 AM

and, any PC Game Controller recommendations? I just want to pick up something cheap...but don't want to miss out on a button or something I need...

i recommend the Logitech Dual Action gamepad. it has a left and right analog stick, d-pad, buttons.

its very similar to the one they show in the mvp manual.

Galaril · 03-26-2005, 07:45 PM

Thanks JB,
I will check out the walk mod and sliders. Here is the link to last years progression mod for last year game. It should be out in the next week Bill told me. The mod fixes all the ratings progression for the players in a dynasty. It also fixes rookies generated in the future as well. Bill has a great blog that is a fun read about many things including gaming. He is the guy who wrote the Night Call section on the old Gone Gold Site. I am surprised you never heard about the mod last year it still is one of the most popular downloads on MVP.mods.I found a url to the mod discussion for this years mod.

I'm debating whether to keep Howard or not (the debate is very active in my mind between games of MVP

)

Meanwhile, Beckett and the Marlins just took a 7 game lead on me in late July because I couldn't score against him. I did toast their number 5 starter for 8 runs in the preceding game, but I really needed to sweep this series to have a good chance of catching the Marlins.

I remember years ago playing baseball games and having like a 150-12 record because the AI just wasn't there yet. I'm 4.5 games out with the Cardinals and every win seems like an accomplishment.

Agreed. Also, even if we can't edit manager's profiles on the X-Box, it is quite clear they are present. Playing power teams with average runners, and they don't run. Meanwhile, the Marlins are running me to death. This really is my favorite console sports game.

likewise.

i also remember trying to get as many power pitchers as possible because those 102mph fastballs were hard to hit...

dola,

I opened up a series vs the Phillies tonight and decided to try the "hitter's eye" view again. (the combo is 6/1 for viewing)

I had 12 hits and hit Billy Wagner pretty good as well. If CF wasn't so deep, I might have jacked 2-3 out of the park.. gotta love that park.

I lost 4-3 in a great game.

I can't wait until next series vs Kansas City in KC, should be a fun series. I've always loved that ballpark.

Todd

SackAttack · 03-27-2005, 01:00 PM

My first no-hitter! Edwin Jackson shut down the Mets in the 7th game of the season. Didn't walk a batter, although one reached base on a Cesar Izturis throwing error.

Finished it off in style, too, striking out the first two hitters in the 9th before inducing a weak grounder to the 1st baseman to seal the deal. It was pretty cool to watch Jackson celebrate on the mound. He was more animated than he usually is after a game.

Just too bad I couldn't do it at Dodger Stadium. That would've ruled. Getting it against the Mets was awesome, as stacked as that lineup is.

Wagner has been very inconsistent for me. Some games, he is lights out, and other games his fastball doesn't have much movement and the CPU kills it. Earlier today, he had his 5 blown save of the year for me

We are now 9 games out of first with a record of 52-48.

Congrats. That is a huge achievement.

The best I've done is a 2 hitter by Randy Wolf against the Pirates. I've also had a 3 hitter with Padilla.

Thanks. I would've expected Perez to be the guy to do it for me, but when I had to call Jackson up after Perez broke his leg on Opening Day...I guess there was a reason for that after all, huh?

Galaril · 04-01-2005, 10:51 AM

I am having a bitch of a time pitching.Anyone got suggestions to improve my pitching?I am on pro difficulty and am thinking of going down until I get the pitching down. The other thing am wondering if you got assisted fieldin gon what does that do. I don't seem to be able to take control of the nearest player to the ball. SO, if a ball is hit to deep centerfield i shoul dbe able to hit 7 button and take control of the CenterFielder and jump up to catch the ball at the wall, right?

Assisted fielding means that the CPU gets your player to the ball, and all you do is throw it. I like it as I'm not a very good fielder in console baseball games. Also, I like assisted fielding because it really approximates the player's real life abilities. Guys with great range will get good jumps on the ball.

As far as pitching, I think the key is that you need to mix up your pitches while still using plenty of your pitcher's best pitches. You also need to make sure you mix up the location. I mostly work down in the zone, but sometimes I work up. I work in and out quite a bit. If I do go up in the zone, I usually make sure that I'm high enough that it will be hard for the hitter to hit (i.e. out of the strike zone.)

Balldog · 04-01-2005, 11:40 AM

I wish days were 36 hours long so I would actually have time to buy this, then actually play it! I'm a good month and a half away from having the time.

when you pitch i hope you hold the button when it get to the red part. Make sure the red bar on the pitching meter lights up (darker red) before you release button

if you dont your not throwing it with any velocity

Galaril · 04-01-2005, 11:52 AM

Good advice I see what you mean about the players playing to fileding ratings better I will continue to use assisted fielding also.

MizzouRah · 04-01-2005, 12:57 PM

From what I've read on another forum, the tweaks I posted work just as well on Pro level. Try that.

My hitting has been stagnant once again. I might try a game or two on Pro tonight.

Todd

My hitting was getting stagnant too. I went back to -5 speed for infielders again, and I've played 20 games on All-Pro with -5 for all fielders. I've decided I really like that setting better. Infielders with good to excellent range still don't let too many balls through, but I get more bloop hits and more hits down the lines. Rollins and my speed guys are doing better at getting infield hits too. I find that my good fielders still get to balls plenty. However, I just lost Utley for the season to an MCL tear

Now, I need to rely on Offerman at second *gulp*

My hitting was getting so bad I would get like 1 hit a few games. Yikes!

I'm going to try Pro tonight, if not just to see what it's about.

I might go back to the (-5) for the infielders like you have, but aren't you seeing some goofy hits that should have been outs.. I saw some plays on (-5) like ground balls going right past the SS and I mean right by him almost hitting his shoe.

Todd

Todd

In 20 games, I've two or three plays like that with bad shortstops. It has never happened to Rollins. However, I do also see that happen with bad second basemen on a few plays. Most of those hits were fairly hard though and it hasn't been happening on slower hits for me.

Galaril · 04-01-2005, 07:33 PM

Mizz,
I saw those sliders they work great for fielding and running. You don't tweak the sliders at all for pitching. Anyone got sliders for pitching that work particularly for pro level.

SackAttack · 04-01-2005, 07:35 PM

I haven't messed with pro level pitching sliders, but I have set the hot zones to fade, turned off the pitching cursor, and turned off the rumble. That'll generate some walks with or without the sliders.

(the combo is 6/1 for viewing) I had 12 hits and hit Billy Wagner pretty good as well. If CF wasn't so deep, I might have jacked 2-3 out of the park.. gotta love that park. I lost 4-3 in a great game. I can't wait until next series vs Kansas City in KC, should be a fun series. I've always loved that ballpark. Todd

Didn't walk a batter, although one reached base on a Cesar Izturis throwing error. Finished it off in style, too, striking out the first two hitters in the 9th before inducing a weak grounder to the 1st baseman to seal the deal. It was pretty cool to watch Jackson celebrate on the mound. He was more animated than he usually is after a game. Just too bad I couldn't do it at Dodger Stadium. That would've ruled. Getting it against the Mets was awesome, as stacked as that lineup is.

Galaril Pro Starter Join Date: Jan 2004	I am having a bitch of a time pitching.Anyone got suggestions to improve my pitching?I am on pro difficulty and am thinking of going down until I get the pitching down. The other thing am wondering if you got assisted fieldin gon what does that do. I don't seem to be able to take control of the nearest player to the ball. SO, if a ball is hit to deep centerfield i shoul dbe able to hit 7 button and take control of the CenterFielder and jump up to catch the ball at the wall, right?
