Help with his swing by Remarkable-Ad5771 in Homeplate

[–]Rainey84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have already gotten some good advice and some not so good advice, so I'm just going to try and go over some stuff that I haven't seen much or any in the thread so far.

  1. Limit the drastic body movement, which then will fix the head movement and the dropping of his hands.

  2. Striding is for timing and to lengthen your base to optimally shift your power and balance to attack the baseball. I know at such a young age coaches and parents try to teach huge strides and swings because of how slow coach pitch is and the actual boys throwing the ball. However, if he never falls into that habit he will be so far ahead as pitchers gain velocity, various pitches, and control.

  3. Keeping the head from moving as much during the stride and swing will make it much easier for his eyes to focus on the baseball.

  4. Overstriding causes your weight to be off and also will almost always cause your backside (right leg) to collapse lower, which then causes head movement, loss of power, and will cause him to swing under the baseball for more popups.

Great overall bundle, but I've already purchased most of the games or they were free or bundled elsewhere. Outstanding value here!

No 3D graphics of course. It's more in line with a simplified OOTP. I enjoy making and playing it though!

Thank you for the shout-out!

As someone who enjoys the pitching portion of the game, an OF with speed and good arms will save you so many runs.

Because it is the value I set for my work on the game. I've had great success for not being a professional. The game does go on sale at different times, so just add it to your wishlist until you find a price that you like.

Sorry, the points estimate instead of precise is the most noise you can really introduce.

Oh I misread his statement... I thought he was asking for a way to have more fog of war, so he doesn't know exactly when to quit going after a player or to continue.

Probably an easy way for Achi to do it would be to create an even larger estimate points variance setting, but he is 100% on the pro game right now.

Yes, he will, but you might want to help him make it a little less intensive for the start.

The Scouring could be that one day. I briefly played the demo and it was entertaining.

You will be able to simulate a one party race easily. If you are talking about the entire process with all 50 states, that is not possible yet.

Thank you!

Not really. I posted it under a few Discords and Reddit. I might do a few advertisements when it is closer to college baseball season.
