With bases loaded and nobody out, strike out three in a row without a run scoring to end the inning.
The "Good Grief" trophy/achievement in MLB The Show 24 throws you into a high-pressure situation! Here’s how to conquer it:
Requirements:
Challenge and Approach:
This trophy demands exceptional pitching skills and nerves of steel. Here are some tips to rise to the occasion:
Know Your Relief Pitcher: Choose a reliever with a dominant fastball, a sharp breaking ball, and a well-controlled arsenal. Focus on a pitcher you’re comfortable with in high-pressure situations.
Pitching Mechanics: Sharpen your pitching mechanics. Aim for pinpoint accuracy and hitting your spots consistently for called strikes and strikeouts.
Strategic Pitch Selection: Since strikeouts are key, prioritize pitches that can overpower hitters or induce swinging strikes. Fastballs with good velocity, breaking balls with sharp movement, and well-placed changeups can be your allies.
Mind the Count: Be mindful of the pitch count while aiming for strikeouts. Avoid walks that would further load the bases or force in a run.
Mode Recommendations:
Exhibition: This is a great option to practice the situation and experiment with different relievers against the CPU on a lower difficulty level. You can create a custom scenario where you start with the bases loaded and no outs.
Franchise Mode or March to October: These modes offer a more realistic baseball experience. Look for situations where you bring in a relief pitcher with the bases loaded in a close game.
Additional Tips:
Warm Up Pitcher (if applicable): In some game modes, you can simulate the warm-up, giving your reliever a few extra pitches before the high-pressure situation.
Take Advantage of Pitching Confidence: If your pitcher has high pitching confidence, it can increase the effectiveness of your pitches.
Stay Calm Under Pressure: Remember, even the best pitchers face adversity. Stay focused, trust your skills, and execute your pitches precisely.
The "Good Grief" trophy is a test of your pitching composure. Keep practicing, and you’ll eventually shut down the opposition with three consecutive strikeouts to secure this prestigious achievement!
