I had a shot down the line last night, they called an HR and I firmly believe it curved FOUL before going over.

I'm still upset by the missed call :angry:

Anyone have any idea as to what the flashing is around home plate and the pitchers mound? Or what might be causing it?

I noticed that too, and only when I'm pitching, and only when I switched from classic to TCP. I thought it was lightning at first.

With some slider tweaking this game plays pretty good

Where the heck did Kushgamer go? I wish he'd come back and answer some ?'s. He was there, I'm sure he knows what happened and he doesn't work for them anymore, so what would it hurt?

is it just me..or what is with these controls? not really feeling the right stick doing everything. looked in the book, and it says you can pitch and hit with a,b,x,y....do i gotta change it in a setting? anyone else having trouble?


can anyone help me out...maybe i'm just reading the tutorial wrong...but when you're pitching, you essentially point the RS towards wherever that pitch says 1 is at, then as you're winding up you rotate or push up or whatever the 2 direction is that the pitch says to do yes? i know the accuracy circle comes up and you're supposed to release when its ihe green right, so essentially you're doing all that in one fluid motion right? i dont know...i havent thrown any other pitch besides a fastball which means i'm not doing it right. can anyone out explain it to me better possibly?

How to throw a fastball with maximum effort:

Press and hold down to begin your motion. A circle begins to expand. When the circle reaches it's largest point, move and hold the Right Analog Stick forward. Release the stick when the contracting circle reaches it's smallest point. If you release prior to this the margin of error increases by the size of the circle or becomes a meatball pitch.

How to throw a fastball with less effort:

Now that you know how to throw a maximum effort fastball, you might want to control your effort to conserve energy.

Press and hold down to begin your motion. A circle begins to expand. Move and hold the RAS stick up (Note: You can do this prior to the circle reaching it's largest point. The expanding circle is your effort.) The circle will continue to expand. Continue to hold the stick up. Release the stick when the contracting circle reaches it's smallest point.

Once you understand that then you can understand the other pitches. Follow the same steps. The first motion is always your effort. Your second motion is your accuracy. You must remember to always hold the second motion down until the circle reaches it's smallest point. Releasing early will result in a meatball pitch.

There is a tutorial in the pause screen to practice.
