Prince Fielder's the same way. He's a thick dude, but in '13 his body type looks more like his dad, Cecil's, haha.

Hahaha I agree. Hopefully next year they re-do the body types, because I don't think there is one person in the real MLB who is actually as fat as the "fat" body type in MLB 13 The Show....

CC Sabathia isn't even that fat anymore!


lol

I find it strange how I increase my hitting difficulty, but the CPUs hitters suddenly become better hitters.

They go from averaging 3 runs per game, to doubled that.

Maybe it's just pulse pitching? Guess I just gotta realize that no matter what I do, I'm basically forced to throw 80% strikes on analog pitching over realistic pitching on pulse cause on pulse, CPU kills my pitcher no matter who he is.

He's a "vegetarian." (wink, wink) Or is it "megetaburgerian"

This time I tried with all star batting, veteran Pulse pitching(I haven't used pulse pitching in a full game since like this time last year on mlb12)

Reds: 6 runs,14 hits
Phillies: 8 runs, 11 hits

Both teams struck out 6 times

Phillies with 5HR
Reds with 2HR

79% of my pitches were strikes
80% of CPU pitches were strikes(cpu strike frequency was at 2)

Must have been something with the starters.
Halladay lets up 6 runs,13 hits in 6 innings
Cueto lets up 6 runs,8 hits in 5 innings


Rest of Phillies pitchers combined for 1 hit,0 runs in 3 innings

Rest of Reds pitchers combined for 3 hits,2 runs in 3 innings

YES! I have gotten my redemption finally... Playing in my 3rd postseason after getting knocked out of the first 2 during the Wild Card game with the Red Sox... This time Im in the NL with the Braves, I beat the DBacks in the WC game and then in Game 1 NLDS vs the Reds I was down by 1 with 2 outs in the 9th and a guy in 2nd when... BJ Upton blasts a 2 runs shot to take the lead! Kimbrel came in the shut the door... Finally I came back and won rather than the other way around...

Also, I played the Challenge of the Week, what a difference!
They did great with it this year, I remember last year I would swing away and hope I made contact. With the hitting window opened a bit I can now see the pitch and decide... Even though I only got like 70,000ish points or something like that, it was a blast to play... and its free now!

Also I played my first HRD online with Middlebrooks and... WON! patience is key, also solid contact lol... can get a little intense watch everyone's HR and outs going up but it was very very fun...

One thing that I'm starting to get annoyed with. Playing the Nats in a three game set. Through 10 innings, Bryce Harper has 3 stolen bases. Each one has come on a called pitch out. If I can't get him when I "know" he is stealing whats the point?

[Hockeynut99]

I don't know, I look at those guys and they look fat to me. Maybe we can get a big bone model (Cartman voice).

I played some more today. I like that I can now hit.
