How To Play and Where to Start
-
I just got the game for Switch and have no clue how to play. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated
-
On the Switch your best move would be to return it and get a game that is playable on that console. The Show needs a more powerful system

It depends on what you want out of the game. There are many different modes, literally something for everyone.
Storylines is great. You get to learn about players from the Negro League, and there is one for Derek Jeter. You’ll get cards that you can assemble teams with in Diamond Dynasty (another mode). Speaking of DD, that is where you put together teams from the cards you have, play programs to get more cards, play single player programs (or vs the computer), play online against others, challenge yourself against showdowns, play 3 inning games in conquest or in mini seasons.
You can create a ballplayer and get him (or new this year, her) from the minors to the majors.
There is March to October where you play three to four innings with a challenge to meet and try to win the World Series.
There is Franchise where you can take your favorite team and play each game (or simulate) of a season. You control as much as you want, from general manager, to manager.
These are just the tips of the ice berg. Try a little of everything and see what you like. Most of the folks who post here, play Diamond Dynasty online and single player, to get as many cards as they can so they can build powerhouse teams.
This years game has a lot of issues so far, so you’ll see a lot of complaints about it. But, if you can push past those, find a mode you like, you will have a lot of fun.
There are a lot of Switch guys on here if you have questions about the game on your console.
@sbchampsHave fun!

I would start your hitting setting on timing input. Once you can consistently get good timing and able to recognize the pitch type, pci input is an absolute must. At least it is for online play.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I may take you up on that. Right now I’m spending time in Franchise.
