I just bought this game but instead of providing a fun time it is just driving me angry. can anyone tell me how do I play this fuckin' shit????

how do I locate my pitches?? and, is it posible to get a hit?? I can't throw strikes and the opposing pitcher never threw a ball. I finished an inning with 16 runs only because my 3rd baseman made an unbelievable catch. please someone help me 'cause I'm about to throw my PS2 out through the window.

Once you get used to it, it's a great game. The best baseball game this year, IMO.

I loved MVP when they had the baseball games for MLB...damn fucking license purchasing. NFL fucked it up for everyone, then MLB followed. What the fuck, they didn't like people having the choice to buy one of three football games, so they seek out EA to screw the consumer? It's retarded, since the people who play 2K (many, at least) refuse to play Madden anyways. I was extremely disappointed in Madden 2006 after the forced comeover from NFL 2K5, and let's say the only way I'll buy Madden this year is for the Wii, simply for the new controls.

Seriously...the 2K series and MVP MLB baseball were the best...why couldn't they just leave well enough alone?

Although, I will say - I don't dislike MLB 2K6, but it needs some improvements. The payoff pitching system is kind of pointless, imo, because you cannot specify the target exactly where you want, only vaguely "outside" or "inside" and the pitch spots are far too close the strike zone to make anyone consider using it. I do like the idea of pitching with the break points, that's cool. Now if they could fix shitty baserunning and some questionable fielding, it would be a great baseball sim.

thanks all of you I believe this FAQ link will solve all my problems

I don't know what' the matter with me, if I have a mental block or something, but I just can't play this game.

I NEVER get a hit yet

I don't know how to locate my pitches. they are all balls, or the guy hits a homerun. I'm the king of wild pitches and my ERA is infinite.

what's the point of that white aim in the strike zone before we throw a pitch, if the ball never goes near it? and after you press a button to throw the ball, there's a meter in the upper right of the screen, which I have no idea how to control.

if anyone could help me...

I've never played MVP NCAA, but I'm guessing it may be similar to the MLB 2K6 system - the spot indicates where the pitch breaks or curves, rather than the final spot where it is caught.

That may help...you have to aim for the break point rather than the actual locations.

Also, in MLB, you might have to press the meter to charge the pitch, and then press it again when it hits the middle (?) for accuracy.

yes, man! the middle of the meter for accuracy! I just recorded my first K after 3 days playing it

now I might go somewhere. thank you VERY much.

No worries. Glad to be of service.

well man, now that you saved me, I can tell, what a fun game.

I mean, I still suck, but I'm finally having the fun. I'm playing the easiest level and I still get bombed in most games I don't know how to work the count when I'm pitching. just like Curt Schilling. sometimes he's the best pitcher I've ever seen, but look what happened tonight. I just keep throwing strike after strike like him. fielding is really hard so I'm leaving it "assisted" for now
