MLB The Show 21

[Arroz con Panther]

Anyone playing? I'm on Xbox so this will be the first time I've ever played the game; it's been way too long since I've played a baseball game. Pretty excited.

If you're playing what controls are you using? I'm torn between all of the options. This is what I'm currently rocking:

Pitching - analog

Hitting - PCI / Zone

Running - Default

Fielding - Drifting ball

Throwing - Button accuracy

I'm playing. I'm on PS5. I'm a little peeved that they made playing DD a necessity to progress your RTTS player, but supposedly they are fixing that in a upcoming patch. 

I'm a bit of a casual when it comes to The Show, so I'm currently using: 

Pitching: Meter

Hitting: Directional cuz I'm a scrub

Running: default

Fielding: whatever the default for Simulation was

Throwing: Changed it to button because I'm still a scrub. I've messed up so many double plays because of the accuracy meter

Yeah, RTTS is getting a lot of hate on Reddit. I feel the same way but can't really be mad since this is my first time playing The Show (Xbox user) and I don't know how it was in year's past.

I'm god awful at hitting and my pitching isn't much better. Come to think of it, neither is my fielding. Still tweaking a bunch of settings and playing around with all of the controls. I was playing my cousin last night and switch to analog throwing while using Pinpoint for pitching and my catcher kept throwing down to 2nd base because I was pointing forward on the stick at the wrong time. All that to say I'm definitely going to need to practice (and yes, I've definitely messed up a few DPs due to the button accuracy.)

We're getting a 10-person tournament together and I'm probably going to get crushed. If we ever need an opening, I'll post here to see if you're interested.

It's been a few years, got game pass to give it a go on xbox.    Pulse pitching has always been my favorite for some reason.

Playing this for the first time on Xbox.  This game is a real f’n challenge!

Started RTTS.  Play for some team called the RubberDuck.  Apparently, my bat is also made of rubber as I can’t seem to get the hang of hitting.

HITTING: Directional 

RUNNING: Default 

FIELDING: Whatever default is

THROWING: Button Accuracy

I don’t do any pitching at the moment. I’ll try that when I get the hang of hitting down.  One thing at a time!

Always down for an exhibition game. Chaymbah on Xbox.
