I'm done now after getting to 60/100 last night.
Seriously just bunt cheese get a lead and pitch fastballs up and in and sliders away with your best k/9.
This is a serious question....
Do you just hold triangle to bunt and point the right stick in the direction of the 2nd baseman?

You aim towards the right prior to the pitch then start the bunt as the pitch comes to the plate in order to "drag" bunt. Use Jackie its pretty easy. Then swipe second on the third pitch to the next hitter ans try to get him home in the next two batters. Its not 100% but i only neeeded 1 run in 90% of my games.

Thanks, I might give that a shot.
You ran an all speed lineup?
Now power at all? Mantle and Davis are speed guys I guess -
I agree with the bunt and steal strategy. I took out my power guys and subbed in speed guys and I’m playing small ball, just murdering the CPU now on these HOF games.

At the bottom of the line up i had Biggio and Rollins to do the same thing if i didnt score in the first.

I was up 7-1 in the 9 inning HOF game, bases loaded and the CPU had Zach Britton pitching. I brought in a pinch hitter, 99 George Springer with 124 power versus lefties. I get a sinker right down the middle and I hit a perfect/perfect flyball. Died at the track. I guess the CPU figured my lead was large enough as it was, that's the only rational explanation I could come up with.
I was up 5-0 in that games going into the 6th inning came out of that inning losing 8-5.... I paused it so I can calm down ....

But doesn't aiming towards the right prior to the pitch with the right joystick influence a "Push" bunt? And when you start the bunt as the pitch comes to the plate, are you aiming towards the right with your left joystick or right joystick still? I've only seen people push bunt towards the right side against me. And if and when I do bunt, I always drag bunt towards the left side where the ball just dies down the line. Just trying to figure out if drag bunting is even possible to the right side.

I’m an average player at best and I didn’t find it to be too challenging just time consuming. The only one I failed once was the NL East HOF game. The AS games are cake and I just quick pitch through them with a combo of Glasnow, Chapman and Rivera. As many have said I do keep speed on my bench in the case that a game is closed and I need to get in scoring position. But like I said it definitely is a bit of grind time wise

I’m an average player as well. I found it easy but a grind as well. I just can’t stand people complaining about how it is hard to get a FREE Babe Ruth and other stuff

I think they are too challenging. I know they aren’t. And I praise how they released these cards. This program is awesome. Cards are great
However when you rock an online BA of .180-.220 it becomes a grind of crushing losses somewhat similar to a normal Met season.
I couldn’t even win the 9 inning HOF game for Vladdy last year. In 5 attempts
Just grabbed Maddux last night. I figured with his control it may help against the computer. So I’ll give them a go. Hardest one first
Any suggestions on pitchers to use? -

Any suggestions on pitchers to use?I use the FS Mize but Kluber should work fine. Another thing you can do is follow the catchers suggestion. Whenever I get in spots where I have runners in scoring position I’ll press L2 and see what he’s recommending. More times than not it works

Can a good bunter break down how you bunt against the cpu?

I guess Bunt cheese does work...lolNo not all bunt cheese. Just get on base and steal as much as possible and bunt guys over when the situation calls for it. The CPU will almost always let you score on a ground ball, they will take the out at first. Use players with speed and forget about homeruns. Guys like Jackie will surprise you with some power here and there
If you know how to pitch, small ball works pretty well against the cpu

@dirtybob007 said in To everyone that thing the Ruth program is too challenging:

Don’t bunt for hits, work the count and get walks or swing in hitters counts. Use circle swing if there are two strikes.

Thanks for the advice.
I went all speed except for Mickey and Stan hitting at 4 & 5. Stan hit two bombs and I pitched well into the 9th. But Wagner shut the door. I had Gagne in the pen, but the way he got roughed up in the event, there was zero chance I was going to put him in a critical situation. -

As an average to mediocre player myself who plans on starting this grind tomorrow,what tips or advise can you provide. Not wirrued about the 30 AS ones, but the HOF ones worry me big time.
