    Tv/monitor?

    TV is totally fine just make sure it is set to game mode. As far as the hitting view goes I use offset zoom, some people use strike zone but I find that to be less enjoyable aesthetics wise.

    ultimately it just takes practice to learn the strike zone and what [censored] not to swing it. When I first started I had the same problem, I got some good advice from somebody that I took to heart not to swing until I had two strikes and it really help me learn the strike zone.

    Number one mistake most casual noobs make is try to play sports game on a TV, I hear some of them even play Formula 1 games on a TV, which is the most ridiculous thing I've heard.

    I don't often strikeout, but when I do strikeout, I strikeout looking.

    Uhg. Thats like saying, "I dont often drink beer, but when i do, I prefer Natty light."

    We are sorry. You have reached your 2020's decade limit on the phrase "casual noobs". You are no longer able to post this phrase on this website. Grow a spine and play online. Thank You, -Casual Noob.

    A new decade starts next year, can I start using that term again? And thank you for admitting that you're a casual noob, I have more respect for you now..I just wish the others would admit it.

    That sounds eerily familiar.

    It annoys me when people keep saying the decade begins with a 0, no you noobs, it begins with a 1.

    I think it all began retroactive is all. So that is where the confusion comes from.

    No OP, there’s no chance of hitting the ball really. Even if you do, it will be by accident.

    So 1980 wasn’t part of the 80s? The year 1 AD would have started theoretically when? 1/1/1? Do you agree? But it took twelve months for 1 to be a year. Calendar starts 1/1/00 if you needed the unnecessary explanation of how years work. You have been in the 20s for almost four full months already, my friend

    Honestly, natty light starts to taste bearable once you’re at least 5 deep.

    Not good, but bearable.

    The number 1 choice for many broke HS kids lol.

    Thanks for the tips!! Started waiting for more pitches in strike zone and have 3-0 record this morning with 20 hits! Still striking out a ton but nice to see some results...

    Probably because I started with Rookie and Veteran stuff and Ranked is harder pitching

    I hate agreeing with the troll, but in this instance he’s right. The 3rd millennium started in 2001, not 2000. There’s no Year 0.

    Ok I did my research and turns out while you’re correct, he still is the worst. Confirmed

    So I Can’t hit period. Playing online I’m either too early or too late...can’t read the low breaking [censored]. I find I can hit veteran and rookie but allstar gives me trouble (showdown). I swing at everything I find.

    First time I’ve bought a Baseball game in years, I’m 43....is there a learning curve. Tips/tricks? Or just keep playing and hope it gets better? My pitching seems okay.

    Im in the same boat 1st game bought ever cant hit beyond veteran online, have some success on allstar but i fins one day i cant tear it up the next day i can rouch the same pitcher i am trying zone hitting no but have a hard time moving pci around either early or late never on time no matter how much I practice watch videosnor try different approach im not looking to be a world series player just want to enjoy playing and game with the game after a long day a work open to any suggestions

    I used to really struggle at hitting. Now I’m decent. I either got better this year, or the monitor, Kontrol freeks, and precision rings helped. Or all of it combined. I’d at least invest in a monitor if you play this game a lot and every year.

    I just know now I don’t worry about hitting too much.
