Afer booting up your Micro League Baseball diskette,you will be given
|
|||
|
|
2 choices. 1) To start a game or 2)Watch a demo game. A demo game
|
|||
|
|
simply shows what the game looks like,but doesn't give any docs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once you've started the game,it will give you a screen giving you some
|
|||
|
|
idea of what you're supposed to do.Just ignore this,since it may
|
|||
|
|
confuse you more, and these docs cover what it tells you to do.What
|
|||
|
|
you should be concerned about is what it is asking you at the
|
|||
|
|
bottom.It requests whether or not you want a designated hitter.A
|
|||
|
|
designated hitter (DH) takes the place of the pitcher when your team
|
|||
|
|
is at bat,because most pitchers cannot hit for the life of them.DH's
|
|||
|
|
do not play when your team is out in the field.If you do not choose to
|
|||
|
|
have a DH,your pitcher will be placed on the batting line-up.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once you've answered it,you will be given a list of different teams,
|
|||
|
|
and are asked to choose a visiting team.Do this by simply pressing the
|
|||
|
|
letter corresponding to the team you want.After doing so,it will ask
|
|||
|
|
whether you want to control it or have the computer control the
|
|||
|
|
team.If you're playing alone, I suggest you pick the computer to
|
|||
|
|
control one of the teams,unless you want to play a highly boring
|
|||
|
|
game.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once you've chosen the visiting team,you must do the same thing for
|
|||
|
|
the home team.Once you've finished that,you will be given 4 different
|
|||
|
|
menus.The 1st one gives you the starting pitcher and the pitching
|
|||
|
|
bench for the visiting team. The menu at the bottom should be fairly
|
|||
|
|
easy to understand,and you can switch your pitchers around the way you
|
|||
|
|
want to.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The 2nd menu is the batting and position line-up for the visiting
|
|||
|
|
team.Again, you can follow the menu at the bottom to manipulate the
|
|||
|
|
line-up.One point though...most players can play 2 positions.This is
|
|||
|
|
designated by a position/ position next to the name (ie:SS/3B for
|
|||
|
|
short stop and 3rd base.) if you change a position from one player to
|
|||
|
|
another,and the new player you are putting into the position has can
|
|||
|
|
play one of those positions,it will accept the change.You cannot
|
|||
|
|
however,place a player who can only play,say 1st base into left
|
|||
|
|
field.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The 3rd and 4th menus are the same exact thing for the home team.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After you're done,the field will come on the screen,and the home team
|
|||
|
|
will walk and the scoreboards will appear.Once the opening themes are
|
|||
|
|
done,you will be given a certain prompt depending on which team you
|
|||
|
|
are playing and how many players there are.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If there is only 1 player,you will be given either the OFFENSE or
|
|||
|
|
DEFENSE prompt,depending on if you're playing the home or away team.If
|
|||
|
|
you are given the DEFENSE prompt (which means you're team is out on
|
|||
|
|
the field) you can do the following...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

Keys # 1,2,3,4 I don't think I need to explain.They are the 4
|
|||
|
|
different types of pitches you can throw.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #5 throws a pitch out if you think someone on base is going to
|
|||
|
|
steal.If you throw a pitchout,and he does try to steal,it gives you a
|
|||
|
|
better chance to pick him off.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #6 brings your 1st and 3rd basemen in.This gives you a better
|
|||
|
|
chance to field a bunt or get a double play if the batter hits a
|
|||
|
|
ground ball.After you hit 6,it will ask you what type of pitch you
|
|||
|
|
want to throw (either 1,2,3,4)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #7 does pretty much the same thing,except your 1st,2nd,3rd,and
|
|||
|
|
short stop all come in.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #8 throws an intentional walk.This is useful if a powerful hitter
|
|||
|
|
is up and you want to avoid the chance that he might hit a home run or
|
|||
|
|
a good hit.
|
|||
|
|
Key #9 allows you to change pitchers.Your pitcher might get tired
|
|||
|
|
sometime in the game,and you may want to put in a relief pitcher.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you are given the OFFENSE prompt (meaning your team is up at bat)
|
|||
|
|
you can do the following...

|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|

|
|||
|
|
Key #1 can only be used when you have 1 or more men on base.This tells
|
|||
|
|
the batter to go for a long hard hit (Namely,a home run).It doesn't
|
|||
|
|
always work though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #2 can only be used when you have 1 or more men on base.This tells
|
|||
|
|
the batter to go for a short weak hit which may fall between the
|
|||
|
|
infield and out- field,or to hit one slow enough so he can beat out
|
|||
|
|
the throw to first.Again, it doesn't always work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #3 tells all players on base to attempt to steal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #4 starts a hit & run play.As soon as the pitcher throws the
|
|||
|
|
pitch,the runners run as though they were going to steal.However,the
|
|||
|
|
batter attempts to hit the ball no matter where it is.This way,the
|
|||
|
|
runners may get more bases than they would have normally.Note:If the
|
|||
|
|
batter fails to hit the ball,the game considers the play as though the
|
|||
|
|
runners were attempting to steal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #5 can only be used when you have 1 or more men on base.This is
|
|||
|
|
used for a sacrifice bunt.Using this will usually result in the batter
|
|||
|
|
getting out,but will move your runners over one base safely.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #6 tells the batter to bunt also.However,this bunt gives your
|
|||
|
|
batter a better chance of reaching first.However,if you have any
|
|||
|
|
runners on,they may get out depending on where the ball was hit.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #7 allows you to change your pitcher
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #8 allows you to put in a pinch hitter or runner
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #9 allows you to change your line-up
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Key #0 is your normal hit key.Use this key for a normal hit (Which can
|
|||
|
|
be pretty much anything)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Those are pretty much all the docs. There are a few other notes
|
|||
|
|
however.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The computer picks a random ball-strike count.Which means..you don't
|
|||
|
|
get 4 6 balls and 3 strikes like in real baseball.The game only allows
|
|||
|
|
one ball or
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Before you change sides (after 3 outs) and if you've made a batting or
|
|||
|
|
pitching change,the system will ask you to hit a key.I don't know why
|
|||
|
|
it does this..but sometimes it will put you back in either the line-up
|
|||
|
|
or pitching menu.If you've already made the change,simply hit escape.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There may be a bug in your copy.If you allow a designated hitter,the
|
|||
|
|
game may royally screw up your lineup (Like..you may have the same guy
|
|||
|
|
playing 5 different positions.) If this happens,you cannot have a
|
|||
|
|
designated hitter.Re- boot your game and answer N to the question "Do
|
|||
|
|
you want a designated Hitter".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you decide to change your pitcher,it's alright to simply take a
|
|||
|
|
pitcher off your bench,but he won't be warmed up and he may be hit off
|
|||
|
|
of the first couple innings he's in.It's better to put your relief
|
|||
|
|
pitcher in the bull pen for a few innings before brining him in,which
|
|||
|
|
warms him up a lot.
|
|||
|

|
** Special Keys **
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hitting an "M" at the OFFENSE or DEFENSE prompts will turn the organ
|
|||
|
|
on & off Hitting an "R" at the OFFENSE or DEFENSE prompts will toggle
|
|||
|
|
on & off whether the players run on and off the field when changing
|
|||
|
|
sides.When you turn the "Run to Dug out" off,the players change sides
|
|||
|
|
instantly,which decreases game time (You don't have to sit and watch
|
|||
|
|
them run back and forth...).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Anyway..that's pretty much it. Have fun
|
|||
|
|
and
