Worst thing about R.B.I.

[Burnzky]

   I think Toronto was the best team in Ken Griffey Baseball.  The limit for a homerun was 575.  In homerun derby every ball was hit that far.

oh so i was a hundred feet off... its been a while...

i would agree with dill that there are not enough hits up the middle... but there is no way for the programmers to let the ball go through the pitcher like it does the outfield wall...  as for the hits through the hole,  if they didnt have those, there would be hardly any hits at all.  

[Dill]

I'm not saying take away the hits through the holes.  I just want less of them, with more hits up the middle and down the lines.  So there will be the same amount of hits, only distributed differently.  And I LOVE gappers.  They are truly the most beautiful hits.

im with you on the gappers....those are a thing of beauty....but if you are playing against a good fielder and dont have a speedster on, you are usually held to a single....the hits up the middle are so rare....unless you are playing the computer....id actually like to see the computer put up more of a fight...cause they are downright awful in every sense of the word...i play straight pitch against them because that is the only way to get the game past 2 innings...and that is even rare...

another thing i dont like about the game is that stealing bases is next to impossible...  only a few guys can swipe a base and it must be done with a perfect jump.   (of course it is easier to steal on a pitcher when he gets tired and is throwing slop)

those who are on this list include:   fire cracker coleman,  rock raines and lenny dykstra...  all others get cut down regularly.

ive had good sucess with trammell and gibby...but yorue right, without a speed against another player, you are toast....t is the best at throwing people out...although he sometimes gambles and tries to get me at first.....but other than that, he's a rock behind the plate

[Dill]

Since we throw a lot of BP fastballs in order to save our pitchers' arms, steals are more prevalent.  A guy that wouldn't regularly steal a base, such as a B speed player, will get a steal because of the BP.  Fast players, though, don't get that luxury.  It is always fun to groove a fastball right by Ozzie, then have your catcher gun one to 2nd to get Vince by a shoestring.  Fun because it is rare.

I would like to be able to have the catcher come out and get a bunt, sometimes that bunt is right on the line and the pitcher can't get it in time.

Those catchers in RBI are lazy bastards, just like little league or girls softball, put the fat slow kid behind the plate.

[Gantry]

Good call about the catcher Greg, that is very annoying.  The worst is when you get a low popup that lands right behind him, the bastard wouldn't step off the plate...

[Gwynn3k]

we used to fix the catcher problem in baseball simulator by giving your catcher 40 fielding points so they would catch any bunt as soon as it left the bat.
