With the Major League Baseball season in full swing, it won't be long until we see the All-Star Game, and of course, the Home Run Derby that ties into it. With this in mind, the league decided to get into the celebration early with
Download The Amazing Spider-Man 2: MLB Home Run Derby 14 for iPhone and iPad, which features all the grand slam hitting action of last year's game, but with several refinements.
Here are some tips that'll have you blasting a few out of the park in no time!
Out of these, the first control method works best, and we suggest holding your finger just below home plate and moving it around to figure out where you want your bar positioned. This way, you'll see the ball coming and prepare to swipe accordingly. The second method doesn't work as properly as it should.
When it comes to hitting home runs, wait until the ball is right towards the plate, then take a shot. Sometimes it'll be a grounder; but other times, you'll blast it over the fence and add to your total.
The goal is to get as many home runs as you can before you build up 10 outs from pop flies and hits that don't clear the park. It can be tricky at first - and the opposition you're up against can be fierce - but keep practicing and you'll be a pro in no time!
As far as equipment goes, you can purchase better bats, which provide a greater chance at hitting the ball with power and accuracy. If you prefer, you can save your MLB bucks for more players, though you'll need quite a few bucks to acquire the heavy hitters. As for ball fields, definitely go for your hometown favorite - or Boston's park, which is rather nice.
