The game...amazing. Me...not so much. I suck. I haven't had the game for more than a week. However, playing on Veteran difficulty (rookie hitting seems like zero skill) with all of my hitting sliders all the way up, I feel I should be doing a lot better than I am. Even though I have the pitch speed slider all the way down to give me extra time to read the pitch, I have trouble differentiating balls from strikes unless they're way out of the zone. If I take a close pitch for a ball, it was probably dumb luck. I haven't the first clue when to use the power swing since I have trouble even making contact with the normal swing sometimes, so I just don't use it.
I'm not the kind of person who has hours and hours a day to devote to this one game to master it. Ahhhh, the good old days, but I digress. Before this game, it's been a long time since I played a baseball game. Any hints/tips/tricks you can pass on to me would be greatly appreciated. Should I just suck it up and hit on rookie difficulty? Should I spend ridiculous amounts of time in batting practice?
Keep this in mind when reading what I type...
I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.
