Let's talk about North American released sports games

I was going through my turbo stuff and found this way to pitch in World Class Baseball that I figured out and wrote down. that would almost guarantee consistent strikeouts. It would only work using certain pitchers I think it was only left handed ones. Has anyone else figured out something similar?

Here is how I wrote it down.

Move pitcher from center of plate to the far right edge of the plate. Pitch the ball & then curve it to the left of the screen so it just crosses the plate. If you do this properly you should be able to strike out the batters almost every time.

Teams to use Pitchers to use

Bears Balti
Ninjas Junko
Sharks Simms
Stars Yates
Togas Tomba
Towers Shoet
Winds Grant

That's cool, Ivan, and I'm sure more thought than has been ever applied to a Turbo sports game.  Excited to try this out when I get some time.

I fired up Power Golf with the lady yesterday, and to my surprise I'm downright horrid at that game.  The power meter arrow comes back way too fast for me - I find it really difficult to get the timing right.  The first hole I hit it consecutively into the woods 6 times.  Good thing we were only playing match play, otherwise I'd be nursing a double digit score from the first hole onward!  Other than that the game is pretty enjoyable, although I've certainly played better.  I've played worse too, and on this very system - Jack Nicklaus Turbo Golf is just an ugly, DOS-feeling game.  Tough to believe it somehow got a second release on the system on CD.

With all sports games of this sort, my friends and I tried the "extremes" to test the limits. I'm sure I tried your move, but I don't know if I ever realized it was "foolproof"...

Random thoughts:

Messing around with the inside corner too much can get you in trouble (hitting the batter)—the computer doesn't "try" to get hit, but when playing friends/brothers, we would purposefully hop back and forth (crowding the plate) like spastic fools.

I never figured out if it made a difference to hop around  + swing vs. stationary + swing. I was always worried that hopping spastically would be penalized (i.e. something that would have been a base hit become foul ball or pop up), but I don't know if that was ever born out by actual play.

World Class Baseball is awesome.  Another cheap way to win is to let the huge lead-off guys start running to second and just throw them out right before they get there. 

I absolutely love that game.

Hit the Ice is pretty cool. I love it. I also have to throw a vote in ffor TV Sports Football. I know it's not the greatest Football game of all time, but we played so much of it when I was a kid that we actually got to where we were good at it and enjoyed it. I remember the first time we saw ads for the game and there was the football player up close with the "Hi Mom!" on the screen! My cousins and I were like WOAH! That Looks so REAL!!!! LOL. Just great memories there. Still, Hit the Ice was awesome and I LOVE Hockey a lot more than Football, so yeah.

Can I vote for Final Lap Twin. Love me that RPG mode. Oh wait.. that's kind of cheating.
Davis Cup Tennis is pretty good.

On a side note, has anyone played much of Power Golf 2 (Japan release)? It looks pretty good, from what I've seen so far.
