Re: MLB 08 THE SHOW: Strategy: Tips on Batting, Pitching, Baserunning, and Fielding
I have thrown countless complete games in rtts mode and one no hitter. I am a right handed pitcher with a 4sfb, ch, cb, 2sfb, and splitter. I follow a specific pattern.
-the first time through the lienup to righties pitch 1 is a 2sfb down and in. Pitch 2 is a curve away. then i go low and away with the change untill they wiff (which happens 90% of the time)
-the First time through the lineup to lefties i throw pitch 1 a 4sfb up and in. Pitch 2 is a cirv away, and put them away with a low and away change.
-Second time through the order i throw changeups to every hitter down and away for a strike (they will most likely wiff, take it, or foul it off) The next pitch is a 4sfb, and the putaway is the split to lefties and 2sfb down and in to righties.
-Third time through i throw a spit down and in to start of every hitter for a strike. then i throw a 4sfb up and in to lefties and a 2sfb down and in to righties for a strike. after that i take my shot low and away with the change till they wiff
- fourth time through all bets are off. I throw the pitch i am most confortable with and have the most confidence in, no matter what if i get a 2 strike count i will always go low and outside with the change.
The funny thing about this game is that if you have 80 pitches in the 9th they will take you out if you allow a baserunner. this applies to all late inning (7 and on) Your pitch count doesn't matter (as long as its not outragously high). This is why you get taken out in late inning with low pitch counts.
Hope i helped
