[. . . ] WARNING: READ BEFORE USING YOUR XBOX VIDEO GAME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. About Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. [. . . ] Use this alignment when you're willing to concede the run at third to get the out. Double Play - The shortstop and second baseman will cheat toward the middle so they can turn a quick double play. Guard Lines - Get your first baseman and third baseman hugging the foul line. Use this alignment when you're up late in the game to protect against an extra base hit down the line. Guard Bunt - Bring your third and first baseman in to guard against a bunt. Be careful though, if the batter bluffs the bunt and gets a hold of one he can smoke it right past them. 15 By positioning the infield back, the second baseman was able to go deep in the hole to come up with this low line drive. OUTFIELD Normal - The default outfield position. Shallow - With the winning run at third and less than two outs, bring the outfielders in. That way, they have a better shot at making the play at home on shallow fly balls or soft liners. Deep - When you have a power hitter up at the plate, play your defenders back. It will give them a better shot at keeping the ball in front of them and making the dramatic catch at the wall. Shift Left - Let your outfielders play left of their normal positions. This works well against righty pull hitters and lefties that like to go the other way. Shift Right - Let the outfielders play to the right of their normal positions. This works well against lefty pull hitters and righties that like to go the other way. 16 Manager's Tip: Pitching to your fielding alignment Ok, you've got a right-handed hitter up and you're cheating your outfielders to the left hoping he'll pull the ball. If you give him a ball on the outer half of the plate, he can go the other way and hit it where your fielders aren't.
