Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into MLB The Show 24 lately, and one thing I really wanted to nail down was customizing my player’s batting stance. It’s all about getting that perfect feel, you know? So, I figured I’d share my little journey of tinkering with the batting stance edits.
First, I jumped into the “Create Player” mode. I mean, you gotta have a player to edit, right? I made my guy, gave him a name, picked his position – the usual stuff. Nothing fancy, just getting the basics down.
Then came the fun part. I scrolled through the menus until I found the “Batting Stance” option. It’s tucked away a bit, but it’s there. Once I clicked on that, man, the options were overwhelming! There are tons of preset stances from real MLB players, which is cool, but I wanted something unique.
Customization Time!
So, I started messing around with the sliders. There’s a whole bunch of them: hand position, foot placement, bat angle… you name it. Honestly, I spent a good hour just tweaking things little by little. I’d move the hands up a smidge, then adjust the feet, then fiddle with the bat angle. It was like being a sculptor, but with a virtual baseball player.
What I found helpful was to go into practice mode after each little adjustment. I’d take a few swings, see how it felt, and then go back to the editor. It’s a lot of back and forth, but that’s how you really dial it in. You gotta feel it out, you know? Like, does it feel comfortable? Does it give you the power you want? Does it look cool? All important questions!
- Started: Create Player, getting the base character down.
- Found: The Batting Stance edit, a gold mine.
- Tweaked: One slider a time.
- Back and Forth: Edit, practice mode, repeat.
I also experimented with different base stances. Some are more upright, some are more crouched. I even tried a few that were super open, just to see how it would affect my swing. It’s amazing how much of a difference even a small change can make.
After a lot of trial and error, I finally landed on a stance that I really liked. It’s a bit of a hybrid, a mix of a few different styles. It’s got a slightly open stance, with my hands a bit higher than usual, and the bat angled just right. It feels powerful, it feels comfortable, and it looks pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
So yeah, that’s my batting stance editing adventure in MLB The Show 24. It takes time, it takes patience, but it’s definitely worth it. Now, I’m crushing it on the field with the new look and feel.
