A1: So that you have to spend more time playing it

A2: Its not difficult you just need to be a smart batter, pitcher and feilder. MLB the show, wants you to feel like your actualy playing

A3: It is easier if you are a pitcher rather than a hitter/fielder
as hitting well is more difficult than pitching well
Took less time to go from AA to the majors-
and you get bonus training points for making any all star roster during a season(I got 500 for making the NL All-star team as a pitcher

A4: Your guy starts out with low points the more you play the more points then its easier I got 92 on power jacken it and straight to mlb

A5: It's hard because you don't have patients...patients is the key just like the pro's in reality.find the pitch you like and crash it baby

A6: It's not hard put it on Rookie turn sliders up on Player 1 on Contact, Power, Timing, and make sure you turn down injury frequency all the way so you dont have to bother with durability and dont worry about vision discipline at all those save for last other than that its easy I got to mlb on my 3rd season was 99 overall in 3 years....all star game and playoffs give you 3x training points so make the best of them

A7: Heres a way to make it easier. Most pithchers have a 4 seam as their main or favorite pitch(sometimes its different but always choose the 4 seam or the running fastball if they dont have a 4 seam because its their fastest pitch and it speeds up your batters swing.) Always choose that pitch an guess the location up. This will let you know when a pitch is high and easy to hit and sometimes if its right down the middle. Since you guessd 4 seam you will know when the slower more difficult pithces to hit are coming so just ajust. Also since you are always guessing up if the location doesnt blink the ball can only be down so you wont strike out as much. The only thing thats still a little hard are balls away but youll learn to adjust(Oh an never listen to the announcers they tend to say some things that might make you change the way you are playing just go with what you see). A couple more things. Its easier to tell the speeds of other pithces when you guess 4 seam all the time because its the fastest pitch. Also there are four types of speeds slow 4 seam 80-86, Middle 4 seam 85-91, Fast 4 seam 92-96, and really fast 4 seam 93-100. When you have realized what speed the pitcher has you just need to speed up or slow down you swing. The last few tips are always press sqaure your ground balls are harder to get to, youll hit more homeruns, and get more extra base hits. Last be patient the pitcher is going to make a mistake(even on legend) so just wait for thst high middle pitch and swing away.

A8: Start as a 20 yr old. Easy positions are 1st base, and corner outfield. Adjust your difficulty to rookie than as you get better move to veteran, and so on. Try playing than siming. You get more points, also save it after every adv goals are completed. You can also adjust your sliders to help you.
