HCBB 2.0 features every element that is typically seen in a baseball match. You can embody the role of a Batter or Pitcher. Batters must attempt to react to the pitch and strike the ball out of the park to score. On the other hand, Pitchers need to try their hardest to strike out the Batter and eliminate them from the game.

This game lets you participate in the big leagues right away, where you can compete with the best players. Make your contribution to your team’s score and secure a win through home runs or strikeouts. Of course, this requires you to learn how the game works, which is where its training mode and tutorials come into play.

HCBB 2.0 features a tutorial that walks you through its timing-based batting and pitching systems. While simple, its controls might take some getting used to since most inputs require you to double-tap the Left Mouse Button. Moreover, since timing your button presses is essential for victory, it is imperative to understand when to initiate the tapping motion.

Master the game’s unique baseball-themed gameplay mechanics to carve out a spot for yourself in its big leagues.

Featured Gameplay Elements

Batting

Batting is all about using your cursor to aim your shot and then swinging your bat using the Left Mouse Button. With the first tap, your avatar will begin to wind up the shot and with the second, they will execute the swing. Aiming your shot is as important as the timing, as even a well-timed shot will miss its mark if the cursor doesn’t meet the ball.

The wind-up is indicated with a power meter and timing the button press correctly will give your swing more power. Pressing LMB the moment the power meter cursor reaches the red zone will give it more power, while the blue zone diminishes it. Based on the chosen shot, you can either send the ball flying into the stands or safely out of the way for a single.

You can choose from Power, Contact, and Bunt shot types before you initiate the swing. Each of these has a unique property and gives you access to different levels of power. Choose your shots based on the game's current status and try to avoid getting struck out.

Pitching

Pitching has you throw the ball to the Batter and try to strike them out. The controls primarily involve the Left Mouse Button, but you have the option to alter the ball’s trajectory and speed. Based on the chosen pitch, you can extend the ball’s flight pattern and give it more movement.

The faster your ball, the less control you have over it. The Batter will have a harder time hitting it, but it is also likely for the ball to fly out of the strike zone. Conversely, a slower ball will have a longer flight time and can be modified to curve in mid-air. Batters may have an easier time reacting to it, but the ball’s swing may cause them to misjudge a hit.

Pitchers can also throw the ball to one of the four bases and catch any run stealers off-guard. This can help them eliminate runners before they reach the final base and score a run, effectively setting the opponent team back by a point.

You have access to the following pitches while Pitching:

Fast Ball
Sinker
Left Hook
Right Hook
Left Cutter
Right Cutter
Knuckle Ball

Choose your pitch depending on the situation and keep your pitches varied to keep the Batter guessing.

Home Run Derby

You can partake in Home Run Derbies, where the goal is to score as many home runs within ten pitches as possible. Use the Spacebar to have the CPU-controlled Pitcher throw a ball and time your hits right to send it flying.

This mode is a great way to polish your batting skills before heading into the big leagues. After all, the controls can take some getting used to, and knowing when to hit the ball is instrumental to winning in this experience.

League Matches

League Matches lets you participate in a full-blown baseball match. All players are controlled by Robloxians, making it a true 9v9 experience. Each player takes turns batting and pitching, based on whose innings it is.

The scoreboard tallies each team’s performance throughout nine innings, with the team scoring the most runs being deemed the winner. Each match lasts a long while because of this, as each inning can take a good while to complete.

Teamwork and individual performance matter equally in this game mode, making it essential to polish your skills and simultaneously help your teammates secure a win.
