Holy shit I fucking blow.
Got all the bull shit system updates done on the PS3 and started a game, Brewers vs Cardinals with straight out of the box settings. Chris Carpenter owned my soul, 7.2 innings 10 strikeouts. I had four hits the entire game, and managed to win 3-2, not sure how. Greinke had my first hit of the game, a liner to LF in the third. Then I hit a HR with Mat Gamel, but Greinke immediately gave the run back. Fast forward to the eighth, I'm down 2-1, Alex Gonzalez hits a ground rule double to get Carpenter out of the game, and I pinch hit with George Kottaras who hits the go ahead home run.
After that I started a road to the show dynasty. Made a speedy CFer, basically a white Carlos Gomez. I think I have about 60 at bats so far, striking out about 40% of the time, and batting about .110. Like I said, a white Carlos Gomez.
I also tried experimenting with the different pitching and batting controls. What's the preferred method here? I tried the meter pitching and found it impossible to get the timing down. Suggest sliders/settings please.
