Featuring a plethora of MLB powerhitters to choose from and the breathtaking scenery of Citi Bank Field in New York, MLB 13 HRDE greatly exceeds what you would expect from a $5.99 game. You may earn all 4 trophies quickly but you'll find yourself playing long after you unlock your coveted 100%. Do you have what it takes to be a major league hitter? Test your skills in this heart pounding, action packed, adrenaline fuelled thrill ride!! Here are a couple of key terms that we'll be using throughout the guide. The definitions are listed below so that even newcomers will be able to breeze through this game with relative ease. Homerun (or home run)- A homerun is when a batter hits the ball over the wall. The ball must clear the wall while in the air and must be between the two foul poles on either side of the field. If the ball hits the foul pole while in the air, it is also ruled a homerun. Lefty- Slang for a left handed hitter. *Fun fact* A left handed hitter actually stands on the right side of the plate, with his back facing towards the first base side. Righty- Slang for a right handed hitter. *Fun fact* A right handed hitter actually stands on the left side of the plate, with his back facing towards the third base side. Hit- A hit is a term used to describe when a batter makes contact with the ball using his bat. Pitch- A pitch is the term used to describe the action of a pitcher throwing the ball towards home plate (and the batter). Out- In a home run derby an out is any ball that is swung on by the batter that does not make it over the wall. This includes foul balls, a missed swing, or any ball hit into fair territory which does not clear the wall in the air. Road Map: Step 1 – Start up the game and select at least 2 Players, as the game will not let you start up with 1. I'd recommend a righty (Miguel Cabrera) and a lefty (Prince Fielder), so you'll have 2 different views of the plate and potential to hit home runs to either side of the field. Step 2 – Play the Home Run Derby with the default settings. You'll have 10 outs to get the four home runs (trophies you need). You'll want to try and hit two home runs in a row for the Back To Back trophy, the others should come naturally while going for this. Step 3 – Replay the Home Run Derby until you've unlocked the trophies. You can hit start and Restart if you'd like to skip the ending sequences or restart the first round.

Only earned if playing an uninterrupted game against the CPU, without switching sides or fast forwarding. You hit home runs by pressing the button when the pitches cross the plate. It's likely that these trophies will come naturally, but if you want to aim for the left field, swing a little early (for a right handed batter) or a little late (for a left handed batter). Make sure you are using a good home run hitter and keep practicing your timing. I recommend Miguel Cabrera or Prince Fielder, as they have very high power and hitting stats. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2162/78B.jpgStraight as an Arrow Hit a home run to Center Field.

Remember, you hit home runs by pressing the button when the pitches cross the plate. Once you get your timing down, you'll be able to eventually hit 2 home runs in a row!

Blazikiller Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 This is truly a magnificent guide. I don't think I'd be able to get the 100% without your guys help. There should be more guides like this on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

care_bear_kiIIer Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Lovin the sarcasm. Guide unnecessary but hey got to get them site awards someway or another. QUESTION: Can you play actual 9 inning games or is it just home run derby only? Also is there online to compete with other players? If you can get 6-12 player lobbies to play a home run derby and not just 1 other person that could be pretty cool, never got to play online with MLB13 as I rented it and didn't have the online pass but I do know that had online home run derby not sure how it worked though.

Robinworldwide Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Well it's a good thing you guys teamed up on this one, I don't think anyone could've accomplished this alone!

Yoda91192 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yep, hit three or four home runs in the right spot and its done, $7 is a bit much for the game itself imo Agreed, $5.99 is a bit much for 4 trophies, especially considering I just got 8 trophies for $4.99(TWD 400 Days).. BUT that only applies to people who ONLY want the trophies, because well.. they don't know how to buy games to enjoy them (lol)... $5.99 is more than worth it for people who actually enjoy these games and play them regularly.

Totally agree with you and it does not make sense. People need to learn how to enjoy trophies and stop wasting money. Take people who hack games like Fuel. Is it really worth it to buy a game and just hack it for trophies. Edited July 3, 2013 by Hunter360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really judging you or anything. But putting a trophy to dollar ratio kinda throws you in the bunch that you seem to get you're rocks off [loling] But the real point of this post was to say. It might be different on you're planet but that 1 dollar difference could cover some gum or maybe a bag of chips on Earth. So i guess you can have fun laughing at us for spending 99 cents while munching on some "Hot Cheetos" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas_ride Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I still dont think its price point is worth it not considering trophies. HR derby was my favorite part of The Show 10. I'd say this should have been $4 tops with its limited gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i guess you can have fun laughing at us for spending 99 cents while munching on some "Hot Cheetos" I wasn't trying to brag about getting more for less, I really wasn't.. just really threw that in there because I bought them both at the same time and had just finished 400 Days before I posted.. The point of my post, which wasn't properly delivered was that you shouldn't base how much money you're wasting on a game solely due to its trophies... If it was the BEST game in the world, are you telling me you wouldn't spend $60 (assuming the Best in the world would be retail lol) only because it had like 10 or so trophies? I know this is a trophy site and 90% of this community fap to the sound of a platinum.. but seriously, it comes to a point where it's just truly saddening when people don't even care or worry about how the game they're buying is, but moreso if the trophies are a cakewalk or not.. and if the trophies don't seem to be in the idea of something quick and easy they won't pick up the game because "Waaaah Waaaah, plat is too time consuming and/or hard"... makes me wonder how most of these people played games before achievements/trophies ever existed..

Another good point yoda and agree with you yet again I see people complaining how hard Littlebigplanet 2 is and they just need to suck it up. You should just be able to enjoy a game and get whatever trophies you can legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkong33 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yoda in all fairness you can't be ripping on anyone for playing games for trophies. You played hr derby for the trophies You also presumably spent money on angry birds which is a free game on the phone where all you do is adjust a slide and hope for the best.

Okay, I admit there's few and SELECT games I do buy for the trophies(this may be one of them, but also mainly bought it just because I haven't played a HRD in forever), but I'm talking about people here that base EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR PURCHASES on trophies.... Granted people have the right to do whatever they please with their money, it's just stupid from my point of view to be blowing full price on retail games JUST for trophies.. like, paying $60 for a platinum even though you won't like it half the time?... As for Angry Birds, I actually didn't buy it but instead got it as a gift. Don't think I would have bought it since I have every single Angry Birds game on my Kindle..

Lol you finally just come out and say it, congrats for growing some balls in just a few posts. & Way to compare 3 measly games to a whole library of Ps3/PsN games. Sure I may have hacked those, specifically Fuse for the most part due to it being stuck on my list at 0% for ages thanks to my cousin.. But Mw2 & LBP2 I thoroughly enjoyed despite hacking.. granted I did most of the work for both of those anyway, Mw2 I said fuck it and hacked Spec Ops due to already doing it on 360 and didn't feel like doing it again, and LBP2 because I was banned at the time for a month and wanted it done so said fuck that too. So because I hack a FEW games, it makes me as bad as someone who gets on a hard on for blowing hundreds and thousands of dollars on something that, at the end of the day doesn't exactly matter instead of actually wasting that money to enjoy the majority of the games?

I'm just really bad at baseball games so I could use all the encouragement I can get No steroids dlc has been announced although I think it'd make a fantastic addition to the game. As for obscure references, the trophies are called "hang a louie" and "hang a ralph" so that should answer your question. If you have any questions or concerns related to any trophies please don't hesitate to ask. Captain and myself are here to help and we understand that not everyone is familiar with baseball. In all honesty, baseball is an extremely boring sport so I don't blame you for not taking the time to familiarize yourself with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
