Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into MLB The Show 24, and one thing I really wanted to nail down was tweaking batting stances. I mean, getting that perfect stance for your created player or even editing your favorite pro’s swing? That’s where the real fun is. So, here’s how I went about it.
Figuring Out the Basics
First things first, I jumped into the game and messed around in the menus. Found the “Edit Player” option pretty easily, and that’s where the magic happens. I spent some time just scrolling through the list of pre-set stances. Honestly, there are a TON to choose from, which is kind of overwhelming at first.
Experimentation Time!
I picked a few stances that looked kinda close to what I wanted. My main goal was to create a stance that felt comfortable and, you know, helped me actually hit the ball! I went into practice mode and started swinging away. Some stances felt super awkward, others felt okay, but nothing really clicked.
Getting Down to the Details
This is when I started to get into the nitty-gritty. The game lets you fine-tune pretty much everything: hand position, foot placement, bat angle… It’s insane! I’m talking:
- Hand position: Moved them up, down, closer to my body, further away.
- Foot placement: Open stance, closed stance, wider, narrower… you name it.
- Stride: how much movement I wanted to make, with bigger and smaller stride options.
- Bat Waggles: how to get the right setup and movement I wanted before swinging.
It was a LOT of trial and error. I’d make a small change, take a few swings, then tweak it again. And again. And again. The key was to pay attention to how each adjustment affected my timing and how the ball was coming off the bat.
Finding My “Perfect” Stance
After a good chunk of time messing around – seriously, I probably spent a couple of hours on this – I finally found a stance that felt right. It wasn’t a perfect replica of any real-life player, but it was something that worked for me. It felt balanced, gave me good plate coverage, and, most importantly, I was hitting the ball consistently.
So yeah, editing batting stances in MLB The Show 24 is a bit of a rabbit hole, but it’s totally worth it. My advice? Don’t be afraid to experiment, and don’t get discouraged if it takes a while to find something you like. Just keep tweaking and swinging, and you’ll eventually find that perfect stance that lets you rake in those dingers!
