As the summer rolls on fans of America’s past time know that their game is starting to get serious. The All-star break is just a memory now and all of the major league teams that are still in contention for a play-off spot are feeling the heat as every game becomes more and more important. Every pitch thrown and bat swung becomes vital to a team’s life and lively-hood and only the most skilled teams will move on to see the play offs.

While our games may not be as serious as the World Series, Shockwave does have sport games that will take you deep into the post season. Shockwave Baseball is a great way to be a part of the sport you love and the beauty of having it on your computer wherever you go, ensures that you can always find some time to play games. To get your team going, I have come up with a few tricks and tips that should get your team going and keep you winning out on the field.

There isn’t a lot that you need to do in order to find success in Shockwave Baseball. The game is pretty straightforward. It’s basically big league batting practice, which means you just need to worry about base hits and scoring runs.

First off, when you start playing the game, a menu will pop up asking you how many runs you think you can come back from in the event that the computer takes the lead. I always select 5 because if you can get hot behind the plat in this game, you can come back from any lead. Give your self a chance to come back and your odds of playing longer have already increased.

When it comes to hitting in this All Star of Shockwave’s free games , you have two things to worry about, targeting the ball and then reacting with a mouse click at the right time to hit the ball. At first, getting the timing and aim down were very difficult for me. I decided that the best way to master this would be to first get the timing down on the aim, making sure you can track the ball. If you want to be really good at this game, I recommend you play it 10 times with out any expectations. Put you mechanics together and the pitch will become a lot easier to hit.

I also recommend you play online games with a speedy Internet connection. When playing on a laggy connection, you signal to hit may become delayed which could cost you later on if you can string together some hits.
