MLB 2K9 How to get Strikeouts

[EmoLoverRyan]

RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[remolocity]

is their a way to look at your user profile? i dont know how many hr i have.

[Chas3THEhitman]

how do you hit a homerun om this game

[EmoLoverRyan]

@Chas3THEhitman its pretty easy, the more power your batter has, the better chance, and dont try to do an opposite field homer, its harder. like in fenway, i always go after the Monster Seats. So its either going to be a home run, or off the Monster Seats to be a double at least, but i get triples a lot

[phunkblister]

do you have a ph.d in xbox....b/c you knew what xbox johny was thinking.

[Griffinstalon1]

It works cuz your playing the Yankees.

[michaelperez44]

i know another way...

throw an eephus 

[starman60200]

pitching in this game is easy and the show is hard to pitch but i dont like 2k baseball

[ejdubb115]

how to get a strike : use Tim Lincecum

[remedave]

hey john cena win your match tonight lol

[boomer331000]

go redsox

[Batistafanx5]

This is great im startin to rack up the K's now

[ledsith]

why are people thanking this guy for his video ? the title says "how to get strikeouts", not watch me play . theres no explanation on the yellow circle , which alot of people have ask about , or the use of right analog stick . NO WHERE in this video are these mentioned . also if he really wanted to impress , why didnt he pick the AL or NL allstars to pitch against , instead of the "spew pork hankees"!

[Batistafanx5]

@ledsith all u gotta go is move the right stick its not hard

[ledsith]

@Batistafanx5 i did . but how do you get any speed or break on pitches ?

[nanyfede8805]

try tim lincecum or Cole hamels,both are the best pitchers in the game.I took 17 k`s with lincecum

[Iowa5Hawkeyes]

haha i love the eephus throw from the catcher when they were warming up haha

[marth1800]

im sorry but gary thorne is a classic hockey announcer. i can't get over that

[moneyman3p3]

yo thanx to u i pitched a no hiter i beat the yankees 114 to 0 on all star

[BotonNegro]

2k9 nd 2k10 suck get the show if u dont have a ps3 then that sucks 4 u

[waddoo1234]

whats with the circle? I dont know what to do with that... Like I have the classic control for pitching and i hold down for speed but what about accuracy?

[mrbuckeyefan22]

thanks nice vd ill use this

[RenoZemrak]

2k sucks!!!

[nopiluvin]

I just pooped my pants!! Teeheee

[chriswizable]

HAH Who Was That In The Backgroung Your ?Grandama

[supermanskalel]

I know you have heard it before, but thanks to your tutorial my pitching and batting has started to come around more. Now I haven't exactly struckout every batter I've faced, but the innings have been more shorter. Getting more outs. The strikeouts are increasing little by little, but it is a good sign. Also the hitting has become more solid. In the last couple of games I've had at least 1 homerun; however, I wasn't trying to hit one, but I'll take'em as they come. I've play with the Braves.

[mrlux]

@supermanskalel Fantastic, glad the video helped. i will be doing another series of videos on the new MLB 2K10 when it is released this week.

[dukie172]

Ok...you don't  waste a pitch outside to get him looking there and then throw it outside. If anything, you throw it outside so he thinks you're coming back in and then throw it out there again.

[drdeathkwp]

Nice video.

[DodgeViper3DG]

i love this game. such good!

[sweatymanipples1993]

this guy sounds like john cena, and dude nice camera and sound at the begginging it thoguht it was a capture card

[starbury413]

I'm nasty in this game no joke....play me.......... xDCx WEIO 413

I don't back down from no challenge!!

[aaron9lozano]

2k9 suckz

[chuckmasterflex2123]

I was ranked #1 on the leader board during the summer for MLB 2K9 (XBOX Live)

[ihatesrfng]

to mateo play the show ull never do anything like that

[GreggoryPectin]

Wow. I doen't unerstand how you control the men. Are you god?

[NintendoWiiGamer733]

honestly if u set the difficulty for the cpu skill to like 10, and u get like 20ks every game, it takes the fun and competition out of the game, wouldnt you rather win a game in 13th inning 5-4, or win 20-0?

[1DJSTUNNA1]

i play on the hardest level and you half to paint the black low inside low outside with either a fastball or changeup then on the third strike get them oto chase a curveball or come back with a backdoor slider it work about 65% of the time

[hornets3paul]

nice vid

[jerk618]

I agree...The Show is far superior to 2K9. This video show the basics on how to pitch and would be very helpful to new players that have never played a baseball game.

[youliveinabucket]

yes the show owns 2k sports, but unfortunately i own an xbox

[theman3320]

lol wow.,.....this game is horrible compaired to the show

[mateo2828]

To kureece2k8:

I play on nothing other than legend, bro. Maybe you should step your game up before you talk shit. I score 20 runs/gm on all-star, and throw a no-hitter once in every five games.

[Legendofzoom]

The only Pitcher i have a hard time in the game is TIM HUDSON of the BRAVES.....i can't hit his CHANGEUP............

[monty3509]

lol who can it goes so freakin slow

[ilikeoatmeal123]

With Timmy L. i throw a fastball on the low outside corner, inside slider that breaks in to the low out side corner and the a 12 6 curve... it works for me

[wtsek]

The best way I found is to throw Knuckle balls high and inside . I play on pro and its 99 percent a strikeout.

I start change up in the in the corner , fast ball outside and knuckleball in.

[kureece2k8]

play on allstar u pussy

[kyle1088]

anyone notice in the beginning beckett catches the ball from heaven lol

[BasementBrigade]

he was catching the ball that the catcher threw dumbass

[kyle1088]

oh im the dumbass? why dont you look at the screen and realize the ball is coming straight down from the sky. your the dumbass

[BasementBrigade]

the catcher threw a lob pass back??? have you ever watched baseball?

[KyuubiKid1121]

i take back what i said.i can pitch better now.The show is still better i say.they could improve the graphics for the players in 2k9 though.

[KyuubiKid1121]

i cant rlly pitch to good in this game i mean maybe only 2 strikeouts a game but in the show 09 i strike out about 9 a game the show is way better

[Mrhockey3031]

if you dont know how to pitch then you are a loser

[Bunnsofsteel]

Is there a way in this game to play just as the pitcher in a game. I want to play only as the pitcher, not the offense and defensive fielders. Is there any way?

[mrlux]

i think you can see the fielding to AUTO so that way you are only responsible for pitching.

[Bunnsofsteel]

thanks. i'll see if I can do that.

[shakysyxx]

@mrlux that would be boring though in my opinion

[Airbornerock]

@mrlux Where would you find this setting?

[Skinnyoompalumpa]

this game rocks it fun last game that i bout was 2k5

[romero2k]

I love baseball so even though I read what everyone said about this game being soooo terrible, still I love the graphics and easy gameplay so I bought it anyways. It's the first baseball game I've purchased since MVP 2005 on PS2. That game IMO is the best ever baseball game cause it's got sooo much shit you can do on it as well as 3 minor league clubs for every Major League team...

[coolkids2500]

thats y your a faggot you own a ps2 but yet you still get 2k9 you an idiot

[aaron24j]

Thanks man, Was really getting frustrated, This helped me out alot! 5+ video!

[mrlux]

cool

[10033488]

thank you so much!!

[lemans24fan]

what difficulty? great tips too. thanks.

[Legendofzoom]

I downloaded the demo for this game but every where I go its been getting negative feedback.  I only have a 360 and this is the only game. Do I want to fork up 50 bucks for this game? NO. But man I love baseball and i love the demo and I wanna own this game.

[mrlux]

then rent it.

[cccccc14]

try and find one cheap on amazon or ebay. i just bought a copy for xbox 360 on ebay for 19.99 free shipping.

[Legendofzoom]

thank you

[mrgloop53]

how

[lemans24fan]

get it for 30 bucks at gamestop

[Legendofzoom]

really shsht i bought it for 32 bucks there.....thanks anyways

[kitsune235235]

DONT BUY IT, WAYYYY TOO MANY GLITCHES. search up mlb 2k9 glitches, youll be amazed

[assasin3494]

to tell you the truth this game is not bad at all i have no problems with this game. they already fix all he glitches and everything

[iwasanarchitect]

the game is only $20 brand new. $15 used.

[viralthings]

Subscribed!

[anticubicle]

I'm gonna give this a shot! If it works, thank you in advanced.

Great explanation.

And as a Yanks fan, I laughed when you chose the Yanks vs Sox! Before you chose it I was saying to myself "pick the yankees! pick the yankees!".

[JaePwns]

I know how to get easier strike outs just put opposite side of pitchers perferably sliders or fastballs

[piepieyum]

yo smo699 ur fucking retarded

[jhizzleful]

you r my idol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[smo699]

Look up "irony" in the dictionary. Nothing about what you did was ironic.

[mrlux]

Geez, some people can be such douches. What I meant by IRONIC was the fact that i ended up choosing the "Sox vs Yankees" because everyone always uses this match up PLUS the media always talks about and compares these two teams. That is what I meant by IRONIC was that I wasnt even trying for this match up but ended up choosing them at random. I cant believe out of this entire video, you couldnt get past the ironic statement. lighten up man, hahaha

[mmmsss13]

Even easier way to do it is to pick your favorite team and go to rosters and Boost all hitters stats to max. Then make two starting pitchers max. Then go to the Pirates and make all their hitters stats 0. Then you go to difficulty and put all your sliders to max and all computers to 0. The whole process takes about 35 Minutes but you can save it and use the good team against the Pirates and you can get home runs almost every time even if you don't hit it out. As well as steals, strikeouts, etc

[nickredbull815]

thanks! this helped me

[Davismg24]

You help me out a lot but wat if I do it wrong and they hit a homeron or a base hit

[Boog2200]

another thing that is annoying when you play franchise mode is basically after a few years all the good players are on free agents making the game really not fun at times.

[Boog2200]

unless you get a killer pitcher its hard to strike people out its fucking weird

[Malik1919]

all u gotta do is get tim lincecum and pitch a fastballto the corner, it will always be 99 mph,i had a full game without lettin them get any runs

[Tomobama4]

Thanks

[Sundin456]

Wtf Blue Jays are doing pretty fucking good this year and their overall sucks balls in this game

[YXdude]

jays doing pretty good? not really, they were only good in the first part of the season because they faced fairly weak teams...... im a jay fan, but JP's ruining this team, giving rios away for nothin

[royalstotheplayoffs]

Rios was getting to much money

[iwasanarchitect]

it's called a sleeper.

[polishboy61]

i got a 16 strikeout game befoe i even saw this video so now i should get like a 30 strikeout game

[Shortstop801]

to bad u cant get 30 stirkeouts in a game. unless extra innings..

[jahid996]

this game is GREAT!!!!

[Tomobama4]

Thank you Mrlux for posting this video. It let me learn how to get strikeouts and have a 20 strikeout game with Tim Lincecum. Thanks.

[mrlux]

WOW ,that's fantastic bro. total domination

[carsuck7]

u sounded black so i chose not to watch it. FUCKER

[mrlux]

whoa for a second i worried but then i realized that being an ASSHOLE comes naturally to you. LOL Congrats, you get the DICK OF THE DAY award. You Youtube No Namer Cunt. Stop trying to be an E-Thug and hiding behind a anonymous youtube acct. im not surprised that your page was generic you COWARD!

[stressfulpoet13]

lol i shall be giving him the dick of the day if you'd like : P

[mrlux]

sure why not. lol

[johnniechains]

CHEATER...

[guyinyourattic]

i won 11 games in a roq on a sunday morning right after they restart the rankings and got my ranking down to 8, woot. but i got bored of this game quickly and did not keep playing online, but i am seriously one of the best in the world, i have a 85 win percentage over like sixty games

[PhantomG15]

this game is really good, idk why ppl hate, everthin in is good, rosters are really accurate

[biz608]

some of the glitches are REALLY annoying... like when an outfielder just lets a ball drop when he is right under it...

[nickredbull815]

ik that pisses me off 2

[cardinals2833]

i'm going to get this game when i get the money could somebody tell me the features of the game and how good it is thanks

[woowongtong]

mets. and this helped me thank you

[mrlux]

thanks

[portis93]

every game mode except legend is way too easy in this game but the online is fun even though hitting is a bitch

[xXCaseyBealXx]

if 2k9 would upgrade the staduims and everything it would be way better i love 09 the show and thats y i have both of them

[brandonsoccr18]

PHILLIES BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

[0NEH1TWNDER]

2K9 isnt terrible its just that it lacks the game types that the show has. if 2k9 had road to the show it be alot better and if they patch up all the stupid glitches like the switch hitting one itd be a great game.

[tvkyva13]

2k sports should be sued for this. The biggest waste of money in my life I can't see why this should have ever been released. at first i thought it was ok but the more i play the worse and worse it gets never buy this even if it's for 10 bucks

[dijoncarter24]

i just got this game today and it's fucking horrible. i can't do shit. mrlux can you add me xboxlive and help me?

omgitsdij0n

[pizzaman1o]

ur poo

[Chicubs1088]

NOOB

[2gamers247]

You are an ace at pitching I'm sooo subbing! :)

[LoLzErKoPtEeRz]

wow like no one knows how to get k's lol i can get 10 k's in 7 innings with matt cain on pro difficulty

[redsoxfan4life04]

how do u get that curve to break so much

[MixesAndStuff]

you're a genius pitcher

[sgtfiggs]

can someone explain to me the difficulty sliders

Where it says pitch speed in the user settings is that your pitch speed? Isnt the higher the pitch speed the better you pitch? Then why does that go up every difficulty setting. I am really confused i cant strike anyone out. I can get two strikes but when ever i try to strike them out they hit off me. Weather its a groundout or flyout or a actual hit. Cant strike ppl out

[hockeysupasta4]

what difficulty do you play on

[sgtfiggs]

i try to make my own by playing custom. The thing is i suck when its at pro and i dominate when its on rookie. So i wanted something in between but i can't figure out the settings.

[hockeysupasta4]

you sure you're pitching correct.

[sgtfiggs]

well i can do it on rookie level but i struggle on pro

[hockeysupasta4]

just play on custom then.

[eHarmon11]

great vid

[allrapmusic100]

on 0-2 2 seam up and in is probably the best pitch for it in my opinion cuz 1. fast ball in makes you want to protect the plate 2. up and in is the person protectign the plate and if they do make contact 9/10 its a fly ball

[bvestationfan]

not realistic

[xelortosinvaselina2]

That happens to me to... my curveball often breaks to a different location than the one I set to throw to.

Example: I locate the curveball to the low outside corner and he throws it middle in on the hitter. The movement of the analog stick is almost perfect

[YXdude]

what is ur curve? is it 12-6? or normal, because normal curves in 2k9 dont break STRAIGHT down unlike 12-6

[hockeysupasta4]

the majority of pitchers in 2k9 throw 12-6 like beckett.

[hockeysupasta4]

lets say u set the curveball to the middle of the plate and throw it with a righty against a righty it should break and cross the plate low and away if you are doing the right movement

[HUSKERPOWER99]

red sox baby!

[cooplk]

Nice man your good

[fickendiemutti]

When i pitch in my franchise with the cincinnati red, my pitches break the wrong way. Like my four seam fastball breaks like a 2 seam fastball. And my 2 seam fastball breaks the opposite way as well my curveballs do. Does this happen to anyone else or is just me?

[yousahoe911]

first pitch was dirty

[peeboyedoe]

how do you change the batting stance and how they pitch like

[sethcorn]

good question

[mrlux]

you have to go into EDIT PLAYER to make those changes.

[Colin2k41]

what was song at 0:15

[LadyToly]

nice strikeout

[bosredsoxz]

red sox

[MKFAN119]

good shit

[123Joemoma]

love the vid! Helps alot do=id not know that u could get that inside edge thing! thanks

[Secret2Go]

well i can pitch better now but i have like 21 innings and no strikeouts lol... computer just swings at everything..

[Musicluvva8]

if da computer swings at everything den throw sum

breaking stuff outside

or sum changeups outside

and high fastballs + inside changeups

[all out of da strike zones] dose are sum good strikeout pitches

[umd14256]

thanks helped alot

[fernandes171]

can u change the piching settings like use different controls or is that the only way to pitch

[bear855]

how do you srike out batters in classic mode???

[jmn1228]

by buying a better game

[ajkiller1]

It's basic pitching stratagy.... Change eye levels, inside outside, use tendencies... Waste pitches to set up other ones.. Good explanation to people that didn't already know.

[Secret2Go]

and you need to read the scouting report

[Musicluvva8]

i totally agree with this guy

its da same excact thing as in real life

so if u dont play baseball u wouldnt understand

but on an 0-2 try not 2 throw a strike and try and make him chase sumthing

in 2k9 da pitching is really realistic so yea

[Richboyj21]

Mr. Lux, Whats the yellow circle for and what are the controls for pitching Like how do you.

[Fleming1fire]

That circle is how you get the pitch better. if you pitch and the circle is small then it will be a bad pitch

[hitdoctor24]

graandhustlemafia shut tha fuck up nigga! go suk ur penis then masturbate. i bet every guy tht reads this gets a boner! this game is trash anyways! u a pussy!

[42ledzepp34]

Hey Mr Cena nice video really helped

[MiniSnipzProductions]

mrlux my man, the game already takes 30 mins to 1 hour, wont this take a really long time to do?

[ogjoker10]

how come my pitchers stamina runs out so quick?

it can barely go six innings, or some times not even that..

[mrlux]

you may be using too much energy throwing your pitches by filling up the yellow circle. try not to fill it up as much on every pitch. only fill it up when you really need velocity or movement on a pitch. you can offset your stamina by adjusting your sliders.

[wolf0088]

mrlux its a game your right having guys lookin away like you did on that 0-2 count. if your playing real baseball thats exactly what you want to do but the stupid x ox dosent know that nice vid tho

[TheCritic456]

nice

[GraandHustleMafia]

i just hacked this game aka i just downloaded the iso of the game and burned it to DVD and play for free and i go online!! hahha you assholes paid 60 bucks for the game i got it frree!!!

[wolf0088]

cool loser

[BaseballBlake12]

my replays wont work

[ReedAndrewSutherland]

Is it just me, or does this happen to everyone. I tried playing online for the first time today. what happens? The first pitch. HOMERUN. the next 5 pitches. HOMERUNS? Wtf? I pitch it out of the strikezone. HOMERUN. I cant do anything. So I decide to do a pitchout, and of course the dude swings. Also, I dont get why picking off a guy gives you a penalty and trying to pick someone off 3 times gets you kicked... WTF?

[NYUSA09]

u sound like john cena

[gobbolin77]

o man he kinda does

[ryeman4233]

dude thanks so much i was giving up 7 runs a game or something now im giving up 1at most thanks a bunch dude this helped alot!!!!!

[mrlux]

Cool, I'm glad it helped you. That is awesome to hear, thanks for watching.
