| How To Tag In Mlb The Show 23 |
Step 1: Embrace the Inner Catcher (Without the Gear)
You won't find a big yellow "TAG" button here. Instead, you gotta get comfy controlling your fielder and trust the in-game animations. Think of yourself as a human velcro strip, waiting for that baserunner to make contact.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
Pro Tip: Fielding isn't a race! Sometimes catchers get a little too eager and turn into runaway trains at home plate. Slow down, position yourself wisely, and prepare for the glorious tag.
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Step 2: Mastering the "L1 Dance" (Also Known as Button Mashing)
Here's where things get interesting. There are two schools of thought when it comes to tagging:
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
-
The Button Mashers: These folks believe in the power of rapid-fire L1 presses, hammering the button from the moment the ball leaves the bat. It can be effective, but be prepared for some heart-stopping close calls if the outfielder makes a Superman snag.
-
The Zen Baserunning Masters: These patient players wait until the exact moment the ball meets the glove, triggering a perfectly timed dash for the tag. It's a thing of beauty, but requires some practice.
Choose your playstyle, grasshopper!
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
Step 3: The Fake Tag: A Risky, But Rewarding Tango
Feeling feisty? Unleash your inner magician with the fake tag. Tap L1 just before the catch, then immediately cancel it (tap L1 again). This can lure the outfielder into throwing home, creating a juicy opportunity for a runner on second to steal third! But be warned, this tactic requires nerves of steel.
