The story mode is too easy, but the survival modes are challenging and fun. Way better than the story mode, which needs to be longer and more challenging.
No strikes/no outs is hard until you learn the trick to it. Use your cursor to follow the ball and swing just as the ball's shadow is coming even with the brickdust in front of the batter's box. That will "hit" the ball every time. From there, keeping from getting outs is a little trickier. The farther toward the fat part of the bat you hit the ball, the more power you get. So if you shift your cursor to the right of the ball as it is coming in, you'll hit a little dribbler off the skinny part of the bat just above your player's hands. The ball will hit the ground every time before it gets to the defenders. You'll only score 80-90 points per shot like this, but on the no strikes/no outs level, score doesn't matter.
