The pitching speed and breaks feel really authentic, probably the best of any baseball game I've played.

I got rid of the guess pitch option and lock in area and kept strikezone and hot zone basically for my own pitching good(which doesnt really help)

Tip: hardly use the power swing. I use primarily the normal X button swing and hit enough HRs. I only use the power swing if I KNOW a fastball is coming(2-0, 3-1 counts)[/quote:f3a28]

I started by using the guess pitch on every pitch, but somebody told me if you guess wrong it's hard to hit it well, so I only use it on those same 2-0 or 3-1 counts. I've only used the power swing once.

The only thing that confuses me is you can use the R analog stick to direct your swing, but you can also use the L analog stick to do something similar to that?

I didnt even realize about the right analog when I 1st started.

Right analog you only have to hit in a direction once. Left to try and hit it opposite field, right to pull the ball, up to get under the pitch and try and lift it and down to hit a grounder.

You use the left analog to aim your bat in the direction the ball is going. That you have to hold in that direction to aim there. ie down and away. inside, up and in, down and in..etc

Oh, ok. I was thinking you had to hold down the R stick while hitting X. I knew that sounded really stupid, since you'd have to have octopus hands to do that.


P.S. They made Ortiz a fucking beast in this game.

finally got around to trying out god of war and it is pretty frickin bad ass.

I completed the 1st level and I love the mechanics of the game(though it does sometimes feel like button mashing, but the cut scenes, mini combo games during huge boss battles are pretty cool.

ps ROFL @ a couple of huge tittied nude girls in your bed and then playing the menage trois mini game with them

I bought it used for 17.99 brand new it is 19.99.

Only reason i bought it used is that if I didnt like it, I could return it in a week for money back or dif game and I get a 30 day warranty thru gamestop

I beat that game in like 4 days.... it was really cool while it lasted. I then traded it back in and got store credit at which point Brother in arms came out, so I then got that, which was a huge mistake, seeing as it didnt even run smoothly on my PC... so I took that POS back and got store credit.... then waited a few weeks and then bought BF2 with it.

[gtboys34]

ok. I hear ya on that week return thing. I bought halo 2 a while back at Gs for 44.00 bucks and attempted to beat it within a week and failed. I had my receipt literally a minute before a i left out to trade it in BUT I SWEAR TO YOU NOT... that damn thing vanished! I couldn't find it for shit. I tore up my house looking for it but could NOT FIND THE THING. That was probaly the most angriest * i've gotten in a hella long time man. Well anyways, i went and traded it in and only got 12 bucks for it cuss: . I should've went on ebay but i didnt have internet access at the time. But you learn from your mistakes though..

[Nyck]

Yea well I just started god of war and havent even opened kingdom hearts yet so I doubt I will be using that 7 day return feature.

Cool, you'll like it.

As for MLB 06, I started a career a few days ago. I signed on with the Reds, and I just got called up (which isn't too difficult to do, considering Griffey and Adam Dunn are the only two good players on the team). Dunn already has 40 HRs and it's only about 10-15 games after the all-star break.
