You Yawning at Yasiel Puig? How to Dodge Fielding Duty in MLB The Show 22
Let's face it, folks. We all love cracking dingers and racking up RBIs in MLB The Show 22. But let's be honest, when that fly ball rockets towards right field and you see your outfielder lumbering like a hungover sloth, do you REALLY want to take the reins? Absolutely not. You'd rather be sippin' on a virtual margarita in the stands, critiquing his technique from afar.
Fear not, fellow baseball enthusiasts with questionable fielding reflexes! Here's your handbook to becoming a master of the vanishing act, outfield edition.
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Coward (But Call it Strategy)
First things first, acknowledge your fielding woes. There's no shame in it. Maybe you have the hand-eye coordination of a newborn giraffe, or perhaps you just find the defensive AI to be...unpredictable at best. Whatever the reason, owning your fielding ineptitude is the first step to skipping that chore altogether.
Step 2: Settings Shenanigans - A Field of Dreams (Without the Fielding)
Now, for the real magic. We're diving into the murky depths of the settings menu. Here's the treasure you seek: Gameplay > Mode-Specific > RTTS (or whichever mode you're playing). Scroll down, my friends, until you see the holy grail - Fielding Opportunities. Change that bad boy to "None". BAM! You've just become a fielding phantom.
Step (Optional, But Highly Encouraged): Fielding Like a Boss (From the Stands)
Feeling a twinge of guilt for abandoning your team in the field? Don't sweat it! Here's how to maintain your reputation as a well-rounded baseball genius:
- Become a Vocal Coach (From Afar): Rain down words of encouragement (or thinly veiled threats) on your outfielders from the comfy confines of the stands. "Hey Alfonso, that gap looks awfully inviting!"
- Master the Art of Second-Guessing: After every play, analyze your AI teammate's every move with the confidence of a seasoned scout. "See? I told you a diving catch was unnecessary!"
There You Have It!
Now you can focus on what truly matters - launching moon shots and racking up strikeouts. Remember, this newfound freedom comes with great responsibility. Use your newfound power wisely, and for the love of all things baseball, at least pretend to cheer for your team's defensive efforts.
