I've never had a problem with this.

Good luck with those quick double plays also, as your fielders take their sweet time when throwing the ball to each base.

Believe. A ball has to be hit very sharply in order for your shortstop or third baseman to have a shot at turning two. The faster lead-off hitters like Crawford are nearly impossible to double off.

Another problem I'm having with the control is that diving and jumping share a button. The game occasionally misinterprets your intentions, particularly when chasing down a high pop-up in foul territory. This could've been easily rectified; there are plenty of buttons all over the fucking place and only a couple of them are used for fielding. Give diving its own button.

I fooled around with the Classic Controller a bit last night -- using buttons instead of Left on the d-pad to advance runners feels much more intuitive. My only problem with it (with any game) is that the analogue sticks aren't resistant enough. I'll most likely stick with nunchuk + wiimote.

I know in waggle mode, you shake the wiimote to make your characters run faster..what about in non-waggle mode?

As for the runners advancing, i also didnt have a problem unless he was holding the wrong buttons? i have to get use to the base running. I also have to get use to using the directional pad to throw the ball. Usually its directional pad and button.

I tried the classic controller but as I mentioned above, its weird using d-pad to throw to base.

Good question, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll check the manual tonight.

Switching the control to Type B toggles the more traditional "direction + button" throwing scheme, which is nice because it's cohesive with baserunning control.

oh yea. i didnt take a close look at type b. ill do it when i play against the gf

I'm really enjoying success mode as an alternative to the typical create-a-player. I also like the intangibles stats (Poise, Choke Artist, etc.) I've been using the classic controller and it's nice but I think I'll try wiimote+nunchuk.

A few friends and I are starting a multiplayer league fantasy draft style after the game tonight. The nerdiest sentence ever written? Probably.

Anyone know if young players significantly improve through season mode? I'm having a hard time getting created players up to decent stat levels.

Some of my players have improved quite a bit. Practice seems to weigh in a little heavier than in-game performance in that respect.

I've created a perfect Joba Chamberlain in Success mode, I think there's a way to share players online via codes but I haven't checked it out yet.

Creating a character generates a password for him that you can pass along. There's an option to view it in Edit mode. H00k me up, just be sure to give him the following attributes:

- Post-Season Choke Artist
- Fly Paper
- Joba Rules (1 Inning)
- Joba Rules (2 Innings)
