twmac Posted September 18, 2015 So, Sean and Danielle talked about the PS4 version of this and I kind of just dismissed it. The Xbox One version came out about 2 months ago and I have been playing it a lot. Like, more than most other games. For someone who doesn't really understand Baseball, it was a really interesting learning curve with me having to figure out what the point of bunting, stealing and pitching into different points was all about. I lost 7 of my first 8 games I played and then, slowly but surely, things slotted into place. Reading pitches started to come more naturally and as a result looking for ways to fool batters became easier and, as result my batting improved. The great part is that the difficulty is on a sliding scale and can be adjusted at any time. I started at an EGO setting of 15 (that is pretty easy) but have been gradually increasing it and am now at 35. On my second medium sized season I am undefeated but I keeping cranking it up by a couple of points every game and it has been a truly engaging experience. This is made more so by the customisation as I can now attribute personalities to each of the players and the stats help give me an understanding of what the film 'Moneyball' was all about. I have some great hitters but they would be nothing without the guys who consistently make it to first and second base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
