Wouldn’t be moving the bat up in the hot zone create a chance for a bunt hit?

If you guess low all the time and move your right stick slightly up…
after a few at bats,you can make a lot of big hits and homers!
I hit a grand slam with big Papi against the Yankees..
It made my at bats a lot better!

Here’s my tip: Change the difficulty to the lowest so you don’t have to worry about aiming with the left stick. My batting ability made huge strides after making this change!

I was tearing up Rookie level RTTS until about 1/4 of the way through my 4th pro season. All of a sudden, during a 7 series advancement set of goals, I went completely cold. Everything I hit was a weak grounder or pop up. For those 23-25 games, I hit .259 which is well below my usual. I was stumped since I had recently gotten all of my hitting stats up to 99s.

Here’s what I did. I switched from Guess Pitch 1/4 to No Feedback for one game. I played that game and then immediately switched back to Guess Pitch 1/4. I was my old self again & started raking.

I’m not sure if that actually helped or I got out of the slump the game decided I should be in. However, if I start slumping again, I’m darn well gonna try it a second time.

Hope it helps someone else!

great information. I just got the game and can’t score because I haven’t figured out how to control my runners when trying to advance or hold them. Any suggestions as I am about to jump. Thanks for your help.

Great Tips. I applyed the first tip and knocked 2 grand slams against the phillies in season mode. Tip-when in season mode, TRADE 4 better players or sign off free agents (Manny Ramirez is on free agents)

P.S. Dont u just love hitting against a pitcher whos primary pitch is the knuckle. The ball is like 60 mph and will usually dip rite into the zone

Excellent web site and 09 Show tips therein, and great comments, too. I’m a newbie and can’t give any help at all, but am very appreciative for what’s provided here. My wife and I are glued to the game. And yes, she’s awesome and has kicked my ass as many times as I have hers.
