I've been playing baseball video games for years and like MLB The Show. I can't get to first base with Major League baseball 2k6 and am so far very disappointed. When I pitch, the other team starts slamming HRs off me, and it reminds me of the old MVP games. I find it very difficult to field, and am getting to the point where I will only bat and let the cpu play for me when the other team is up. MLB The Show is almost boring, but I can field the ball and pitch decent games, but I'm ready to say no to future Major League Baseball games. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help? Thanks!

Unwashed heathen? Huh?

Yeah, it is a little tougher to bat than it is in the MVP games. You have to use the analog stick on 360 and regular Xbox. For bases, you may want to try pro or rookie.
