Series #3 Leokillz (GIANTS) at Mikeda Aka Mr. Selig (Phillies)

HOF is killer. This game has already taken up way too much of my life to consider taking BP too, but at least with Veteran I could stay in the game.

^^don't feel bad you're not the only one.

BP is highly overrated anyways. Just like the driving range. I can crush the ball at the range but as soon as I hit that course...

It's not the same.

Guys I'm telling You BP really helps in this game; that's the only way to get the timing, specially the fastball. Every time I'm struggling offensively I go and take about 100 pitches of BP, and get my timing right back, and it improves Your patience also, cause all You're worrying about is hitting, not running or pitching, only hitting.

I just need something to make me not press x. Seriously, It's a problem. It's like an addiction I can't stop I've tried everything. I can identify the pitch out of the hand most of the time, I can time my swings, and I can aim the L3 stick, but I can't do any of those things at the same time. I can't even tell you how many hours of BP I've taken. At least 8o pitches before every game, EVERY GAME. Usually people get better at things after time, I have gotten far, far worse (except pitching) It was funny last season but it's just not funny anymore. I just may lose every game this time around. I should shoot for that, at least that's an attainable goal

BP sucks at least on my part. I can blame BP on me losing the WS last season. LOL Its a way different feel when playing someone online. The pitches don't always seem to come at the same time. Stay away from BP. As AI said "Practice? What practice?" I haven't hit the cages all of season 2, and I feel GOOD...

The only way to catch up to a fastball, is to have it in your blood.

Whether BP actually does help or not, I'm not a professional video game baseball league player, and I can't invest even more time than whats going on right now. If its a job, I expect to be paid. If I'm not, it better be fun. The idea of BP isn't fun to me.

it's fun for me, all I do is pick the pitcher I'm going to be facing next, and select for him to only throw fastballs...
