I threw one against the CPU on All-Star difficulty with Michael Wacha also. The biggest thing that helped me get the no-hitter and throw several one-hitters goes along with #8. Not only mix of pitch types but mix up pitch locations. If you continue throwing in the same area you eventually will get pounded. Here is a link to my no-hitter with Wacha if anyone is interested.

My no hitter this past weekend. Pitching with Shelby Miller and the Braves. Stopping a 4 game losing streak vs. the Mets. I started paying attention to the at bats vs the Mets lineup after the 5th inning. I would check my previous pitch sequence to the player at the plate. I challenged a lot guys in their hot zones.

In 7 years of playing the show over 4 iterations of the game, I've only pitched 2 perfect games (both in 14) and one no-hitter (in 12). One of the perfect games was a rookie September callup, so probably as much fluke as it was talent. All three were southpaws.

So I guess my tip to all those who want to throw a no hitter is: Be a southpaw?

Honestly just try your best to keep it out of your mind and stay focused. If that doesn't work, try to imagine that you gave up a hit way back in the first inning, and you're just trying to get outs and win the game. The last thing you need is for the situation to get to you.

I threw one perfect game, and I was belligerently drunk. For some reason I can't do it sober.. haha. It was with a player in RTTS and it he was about a 75-80 overall.

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.

This is a funny post! Rock on with your cancer-free sac man!
