Agreed

I’m in the same boat. First timer here and it’s hard af

same man

It’s so hard to time and knowing when it’s a foul or a strike ball

Facts

I'm brand new too it and i suck at base running

Ian gone lie you just gotta play it shi really take skill I was Ass at first keep fw it you a get nice istg

for anyone new, this game just takes time. I started with the show 21 and i was straight cheeks, then in 22 i was a little better but i was striking out more than kyle schwarber irl, now in 23 in a bit better, taking pitches being patient. Just keep playing and you guys will be goats in no time, trust!

bro fr, i have been batting .209 on Rookie difficulty in AA😭 The fact that I'm on cloud gaming doesn't help either

What settings does he say so I don’t have to watch it please

@@skipbenny biggest difference bro is using X for hitting not square (power)or circle(contact) I was only using power sing and after switching to normal swing(X) I improved a lot.., also Strike zone 2 for hitting view

​@@skipbennylol why not just watch it?

Glad they helped!

Same

No… you just need to practice… not gonna take 1 day for you to hit home runs

The game is realistic in the fact that you are not going to hit homers all the time unless you are on a low difficulty which is no fun at all let’s be honest. A real ball player can go many games without even recording a hit and that’s okay! It’s luck of the draw with batting…you don’t have to hit a home run every at bat.

I wasn’t talking about hitting home runs every at bat, but I understand what you’re saying. I was talking about how the timing, to me doesn’t seem consistent

My timing is terrible this year and I play every year and do fairly well. To early on 99 fast balls like what 😂

main question is this years 23 better than 21 and 22? i heard if you only play Rttts and franchise only is same thing no different from 21 and 22. same game.

​@Angel bluerider Definitely better than 21. If you're only playing RTTS then there's not a huge difference. But it IS smoother, loads a lot quicker, and overall more enjoyable.

Definitely a decent learning curve, hope this helps!

Happy to hear man!

It’s great you’ll enjoy it if you get it

Hey man! Appreciate the sub! So timing online will give you random results which is why it’s not recommended. If you are purely offline, the whatever works the best for you!

Literally

it just takes a lot of practice and patience, one thing that really helped me click with hitting was just focusing on the pitchers glove and arm motion every time, it may sound obvious but its one of those things you really gotta lock in to focus on

best tip is to go into the practice mode and practice a lot to get your timing down. You can change what types of pitches the pitcher throws, the locations of where he throws them, anything. Practice on the higher difficulties and then playing on the lower difficulties will be easy. It's like swinging a weighted bat in the on deck circle in real life.

you have to change the setting call guess pitch and turn it on

My tip is to just look for the first movement of offspeed and if it doesn’t come yk it’s fb

I always try to be honest in my tip videos. The show is one of the most like, instinct based game. Some will be able to do it immediately, some will take hours and hours to get it

If you didn't know by now, if runners are in scoring position your clutch stat matter instead of your contact. Hope this clears it up!
