AUTOMATIC MEATBALL! READ THIS!

[aubooke]

Does anybody know why usually 2-3 times a game it serves up an automatic meatball?
This is what happens: I go to pull back on the swingstick( like every other time) and it just automatically turns all red, producing a hr most of the time.

I know. Quite annoying actually.

Yes, I have had it happen too. What has helped is turning down the AI's hitting attributes so that the "forced" meatballs result in few hr's. It happens because it is probably a programing issue. Several posters have felt that the stick does not always pick up movement properly. This is probably related to this issue.

Has happened several times to me.

I found that if I hesitate in my movement or alter the pattern slightly (fastball, I go down then slight left or right then up) I get a meatball.

In my case, it'll come back from the cutscene and I'll have a big red circle and pitcher is starting his motion, when I've never touched the right stick.

Try pausing the game and rotating both sticks in a circular movement a few times. This recalibrates the analogs and could be causing the issue. There was something similar in NBA2K4 when ballhandlers would go into a hesitation dribble (accessed by a slightly off-centered stick). I've done this and the problem hasn't really existed anymore.

no clue what you guys are talking about

Also(this must be a glitch) I had times where the left stick for some reason started my pitching motion.
