I know this isn't exactly GT3 but here's one for the baseball fans out there......

This is killing me because I can never get that damn perfect game. The best I have done is 8 IP, 18Ks and then I gave up a base hit to the lead off guy in the ninth.

There are a lot of other cool games on the CandyStand site, especially for sports fans.

Well, I made it to the 8th. Put the pitch in the batters cold spot and he just squeaks a hit through!!

Neat game...

I think that early on, it works fine to just mix up the pitches a bit and keep throwing it in the cold spots in the strike zone but later on you might have to try and get the batter to chase a bad pitch.

I am wondering whether or not the AI is smart enough so that each batter remember which pitches you threw to him before and where. Doubt it, but the game does advise you mix up the pitches and the location so I'm not sure.

ESPN has the same game on their website. I can always pitch a perfect game. I found one pitch that the batters can never hit and can use that the whole game. Kind of takes the fun out of mixing up the pitches.
