Analog everything.  I use power hitting when I get a 3-0 or 3-1 count, but I also guess pitch and location and wait for my pitch so I rarely get to use that swing.  I hit plenty of homers using normal hitting and the AI seems to hit plenty off me.  Also veteran difficulty across the board.  I have gotten the pitching up to Legendary for a few games and even held my own, but I get a better variety of games keeping everything on veteran.  All Star hitting is just a bit too hard for me at my age/reflex level.

My copy of the "God of War HD Collection" for the Vita arrived today so I'm looking forward to playing the first 2 games. I've played the demos on the PS2, but I've never played the full games.

The Microsoft Store has a great deal on "Splinter Cell: Blacklist" for only $9.99, so I just ordered a copy. I've been interested in the game since I first saw the trailer for it and I couldn't pass it up at that price.

I finally started my MLB 14 season. I was holding out for the first title update before starting it, but I got tired of waiting. So far I haven't had any the freezing issues that people are talking about.

I finished the first God of War last night. Brilliant game with some frustratingly hard parts. I'm going to play a few more season games of MLB 14 before diving into GoW II.

Came into some $$,so I bought another PS3,500GB super slim. Spent the weekend filling up that thing with all of the games from Plus I've had.
Still prefer the 3 over the 4 for media stuff,too.

Almost done with GoW 2 and was able to pick up "The Amazing Spider-Man" for my son for only $15.

[Brad Company]

I need to re-acquire the GoW games. Think I'll get the Saga pack with all 5.
Got around to playing GT6. It's still GT, but is a big step up from GT5.
Re-acquired RDR, this time on PS3. Love the game, but it runs like ass on PS3.

[Jason]

It's funny that you mentioned RDR. I finally saw Django Unchained this week and it got me in the mood to play RDR again.

Anyone playing a franchise in The Show?  Or is it just exhibitions out there.

[Brad Company]

Just exhibition and online for me, atm.

[Jason]

I'm 22 games into my season. No franchise for me until they release a patch for the Vita that prevents lockups in Franchise mode.

A-Rod just retired with the Yankees at the end of 2017.  His line was:

AB 11109
H 3258
HR 683
RBI 2106
AVG .293

His last season with over 400 AB was 2015.  He hit 5 HR the last two years combined.

David Ortiz retired as a Brewer with:

AB 7859
H 2242
HR 470
RBI 1552
AVG .285

Just finished God of War II. I'm a little disappointed that it ended on a cliff-hanger since I don't have the option to play the third one on the Vita. While it was a great game, I also found myself very frustrated with the difficulty at times, so maybe it's a good thing the third one is not available on the Vita. Now I'm off to start the Sly Cooper trilogy on the Vita and Splinter Cell: Blacklist on the 360.

I let the hype get to me and just ordered FIFA World Cup 2014. I like that the world cup game is slightly more arcadey than the regular FIFA series.

[Jason]

Actually just canceled my order for it and decided to buy and download it directly from Xbox Live.

Actually finished the story mode in Injustice yesterday.
