MLB 09 The Show - RTTS first career HR

[Tman123t]

When I was called up my first pitch of my first at bat was a grand slam at the giants ballpark

[TheRobertMillerShow]

when i was called up to the bigs, i hit my first hr in my first game which was in fenway park over the monster

[dhgatorfan]

my player got called up today and he hit a 2 run hr his first career mlb at bat. he's battin like .800 for the braves after my first 3 games

[srxmini]

Im a shortstop for the Cards im in AA now im a starter and im batting like .417 with 1 hr 11 rbi and 29 hits in only like 20 or 21 games soo yea

[GTAMoviesAndFlix]

I have a 2nd baseman. I'm starting for triple A. I'm batting .336 2 HR's and about 25 RBIs. Im hoping im going to be called up bkoz i did good in my advancement goals. I may not reach only 1 goal. But idk. My power blows though. I lead the league in triples bkoz my guy just misses hr's. So its either extra bases or flyout which blows. What's a good number for power? Im at like 49 against righty and 47 against lefty.

[Freestylez100]

I'm still in the minor leagues right now. (AAA). Red Sox call me to the bigs already!

[Freestylez100]

I was in my third year but, I made a mistake when I was saving progress and the memory got corrupt. What a bummer!

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Oh damn isn't that horrible? One time my gf (now my ex) was messing with the cables and accidentally unplugged my ps2 right when I was saving...lost like 3 years.

[Freestylez100]

Damn that's sad.

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Yeah. Nick Barksdale 2B Red Sox R.I.P

[Freestylez100]

Huh?

[tabio0329]

ur guy suckss thrid year with no homerss FAIL

[number1pitcher09]

wats his height,weight,and stance

[BigRobM]

how in hell do you even HIT a hr in this game?

I've had it for 2 weeks and can't hit shit

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

make sure to give your player plenty of power hitting points right from the start. It also helps if he's tall, and weighs a good amount. You also want to make sure he bats with whatever hand you do in real life, otherwise it's disorienting.

Finally, hit the square power swing button about 90% of the time. The x is usually useless, unless you're hitting with someone who you know cant hit for power, like a pitcher.

And it also just takes practice, it is a fairly hard game at first.

[Rwings83280]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder

Actually I hit the X button, it's all about timing in this game, and you must be patient at the plate...It's called the most authentic baseball game for a reason...but have a blast and once you can start reading pitches it only gets better with time...What I do a lot will have batting practice before I start RTTS just to get some timing done...but don't get frustrated if you don't hit one hard everytime

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Actually you're right.

My first comment worked back when I had MLB 07 The Show for PS2, but MLB 09 for PS3 is actually much harder.

And after several short, frustrating careers I'm realizing it is true that it is all about timing & patience. It is like real baseball, you have to wait for your pitch, you have to follow it all the way from the pitcher's hand to the barrel of your bat.

So my new rule is when I am impatient, or frustrated, I just have to stop playing. MLB 07 was a lot easier.

[gtyuitr]

FAIL!!!!!

[and0gan14]

my guy is 23 2nd year he plays for the yankees i hit 112 homeruns and had 369 rbi's 1st season 2nd year i hit 127 homeruns and 392 rbi's hahaha

[TheDrJD]

do you have a cheet or something if so can i have it or does it alonl work on ps3?

[Hathman60]

Is this like a career mode where you create a player and only play as that player, instead of creating a player and adding him to a roster and playing as the team?

[gzerang]

yes

[TheDrJD]

ya but in mlb 09 it takes like 5 or 7 years it's so hard but fun

[XxKiddDynamitexX165]

@Hathman60 Yep sometimes your like "OK, I wanna get up to my player so I can get some good stats!" So they let you play always as you

[Krinko23]

My guy on mlb the show (Lamaar Deans) has 80 sb with still 20 games left to play and im on the MLB levwl of the pirates and 1st year got 125 sb's.

[marlinsfan4life]

my guy isnt good in 09 yet. my 07 guy got to the majors in may, and then i was a second baseman for the dbacks in 2012 and played everyday and at the all star break had 42 home runs and 67 stolen bases. I wish u could convert ur player to the next game

[HanleyRamirezFan]

my guy is awesome. 31 years old, 1st baseman for the Rays, 99 in everything except bunting, drag bunting, baserunning ability, and baserunning aggressiveness. just the previous year i hit my 300th homerun and currently my high in one season is 63

[marlinsfan4life]

whos batting stance u use

[HanleyRamirezFan]

miguel cabrera's stance

[Mr89Youngman]

I was just playing my RTTS player and i was i AA i was pretty pissed of cause i led the league in hitting im lke wht! no september call up, soon as september hit i got called up to BIGS i was lost for words first season!

[XxKiddDynamitexX165]

@Mr89Youngman What position cause i get so pissed off like they never freaking promote me!!

[CoolGymnast8]

im telling the truth, i swear. on my 10th game of my first year i hit a homer. but it was also spring training

[kapty123]

My guy is a 3rd baseman. His power is 87 and contact 79 He has 15 seasons in the big leagues. he went to the major leagues when he was 20. he is an 8 time all star

[thomasg2488]

My guy is a MLB all-star, about to head to the Hall of Fame. He's a 38 year old left fielder who can do every thing. I can't get any MLB career records because I made him 20 years old when I created him and he didn't play majors until he was 26 (I prefer to increase my stats that way). Played for the Indians for six years (only made the playoffs once), currently playing for Mets (have won 5 NL MVP awards, along with others and 4 World Series). I love it when my vision works out.

[marlinsfan4life]

how do u get so much time to play

[OurLastNamesRhyme]

my guy is a mlb starter, 1st baseman, he has 14 homers in 2 months. i have 80+ contact and 90+power. i got traded to the f***ing mariners.....ah well i will leave...but i put user bars all the way up to get points until i can be all star level

[KriJaz]

how high doe sth pow have to be to hit a hr

[KriJaz]

plz reply

[OurLastNamesRhyme]

it has to be atleast 60-70

[coolkids2500]

lie my players power is on 40 40 and i have 15 homers

[JPostman425]

if that's Braun, why is his jersey number 9? it's 8

[RKillgore]

just because its his third year doesent mean it took him dat long it just means it took him three years to make it to the big league team

[watsupdig]

get the fuck out

[kurtisleduc]

wow it took u three years 2 hit a homerun

[foch41]

i hate this game every time i hit the ball its either a pop fly or a ground out

[OurLastNamesRhyme]

same, i get a pitch high and i fly out, i get a pitch on the knees and i homer wtf.

[thomasg2488]

it depends how high the pitch is. If it's too high then you can get a pop up. It's risky trying to hit that way but you can be rewarded.

[popydude]

ur back are you gonna go for the record again
