Alright, guys, so I’ve been diving deep into MLB The Show 24, and I gotta share my experience with these submarine pitchers. I mean, these guys are funky, right? Their deliveries are so weird and low, it messes with your timing like crazy.
Finding My Submariners
First thing I did was jump into the game’s roster. You know, just browsing through all the teams, looking at pitcher animations. I wasn’t even sure who all the submarine guys were, so it was a bit of a treasure hunt. I spent a good hour just checking out different pitchers, seeing how they threw.
Practice Makes Perfect (Kinda)
Once I found a few guys with that low-down delivery, I went straight to practice mode. I mean, you gotta, right? You can’t just throw these guys into a game without getting a feel for their motion. So, I picked a batter I was comfortable with and just started throwing pitches. It was rough at first. I was bouncing balls, missing the zone completely… it was a mess.
But after a while, something started to click. I started to get a feel for the release point, the way the ball breaks. It’s all about timing, man. You gotta wait just a split second longer than you normally would.
Taking it to the Game
So, feeling brave (or maybe just foolish), I decided to try a submarine pitcher in an actual game. I figured, “Hey, what’s the worst that could happen?” Famous last words, right?
My first few innings were, shall we say, interesting. I walked a couple of guys, gave up a few hits…it was a struggle to find the zone consistently. But I also got some pretty ugly swings and misses. These batters were clearly not used to this funky delivery.
I even saw the AI get totally confused and had a check swing and weak contact, which was the best thing ever!
My Verdict (So Far)
Here’s the deal: submarine pitchers in MLB The Show 24 are tough to master. They’re not your typical “point and shoot” pitchers. But that’s also what makes them so fun and potentially effective. They’re a high-risk, high-reward kind of thing.
- Pros:
- Weird delivery messes with batters’ timing.
- Can generate some really ugly swings.
- Just plain fun to use.
- Cons
- Can be really hard to control.
- Easy to give up walks or home runs if you miss your spot.
- Take a lot of practice to get good with.
So, if you’re looking for a challenge, or just want to try something different, give these submarine guys a shot. Just be prepared to put in the work. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely rewarding when you finally figure them out. Go give it a try!
