Alright, so I’ve been grinding away at MLB The Show 23, and let me tell you, hitting that sweet spot with both hitting and pitching is no walk in the park. I started off pretty rough, not gonna lie. But I was determined to get better, so I dug in and started experimenting.
First things first, I messed around with the settings. You know, trying to find what felt right for me. The game gives you a bunch of options, and honestly, it can be a bit overwhelming at first. I started with the lowest setting, figuring I could always bump it up later if needed. It’s a good starting point for newbies like me.
Hitting
Hitting is where I really struggled initially. I mean, making contact with the ball consistently felt like a Herculean task. But I kept at it, and gradually, things started to click.
- Choosing the right hitting interface: This was a game-changer. I experimented with a few different ones before settling on what felt most intuitive. It’s all about finding that personal sweet spot, you know?
- Custom batting stance: I learned that your stance can seriously impact your hitting. So, I spent some time tweaking it, trying to find the perfect balance between power and contact. It took some trial and error, but eventually, I found a stance that worked for me.
Pitching
Pitching, man, that’s a whole different beast. It’s tricky, and it took me a while to get the hang of it. But I wasn’t about to give up.
- Practice, practice, practice: I spent hours in practice mode, just trying to get a feel for the different pitches and how to control them. It was frustrating at times, but it was the only way to improve.
- Understanding the mechanics: I read up on some guides and watched some videos to get a better grasp of the pitching mechanics. It helped me understand what I was doing wrong and how to fix it.
So, after all that grinding, have I become a pro? Haha, not quite. But I’ve definitely improved a lot since I started. I can consistently make contact when hitting, and my pitching has gotten a lot more accurate. It’s still a challenge, but now it’s a fun challenge. And hey, that’s what gaming is all about, right?
If you’re just starting out with MLB The Show 23, don’t get discouraged if you’re not hitting home runs right away. It takes time and practice. Just keep experimenting with the settings, find what works for you, and don’t be afraid to put in the hours. You’ll get there!
