Ok /sp/ im a britfag and im playing MLB2k8 which i had to fucking import because we only get shit sports in shitty england.

I wanna attempt to get a no-hitter or a perfect game, which pitcher could do this?

I don't know shit about baseball i just watch as a neutral, i tried the Chinese guy for the yankees and josh beckett(i think thats his name?) but failed.

tl:dr Who is the best player in the current MLB roster to get a Perfect Game?

Pic completly unrelated.

a no-hitter can still permit batters reaching base via a walk, hbp, or error. a perfect game means retiring (getting out) every batter

No-hitter: A pitcher goes nine innings without giving up a single hit.

Perfect game: A pitcher goes nine innings without a single faced batter getting on base, whether by a hit, walk, hit by pitch, error, etc. The team has to win in nine innings as well.

The easiest way on MLB 2K8 would be to use a knuckleball pitcher, such as Tim Wakefield.

incorrect. the pitcher must -complete- the game in which he is pitching for it to be recorded as an official no-hitter/perfect game. several no-hitters have been lost in extra innings (though i'm not sure if a perfect game ever has). the '9 innings' is no longer the standard (though it used to be, admittedly).

what team is he on?

and why is the knuckleball good, where is a good spot to throw it (inside/outside) (high/low)?

(sorry for the dumbass questions)

well, not exactly, but close. you can't -lose- while pitching a perfect game, as the other team is incapable of scoring. but you CAN go 9 innings without allowing a baserunner, but if your team fails to score you can still lose.

in 1959, harvey haddix pitched TWELVE perfect innings. however, his team was unable to score. his opponent, lew burdette, pitched a shutout himself, through 13 innings (as the 'home' pitcher). haddix came out for the bottom of the 13th, and allowed one hit, a home run (before the homer, there were an error and intentional walk ruining the perfect game - but the no-hitter was still alive).

probably the best-pitched game of all time, between the two starters.

Also, if you have a perfect game going and the game is called because of weather, it is officially not a perfect game.

>On June 3, 1995, Pedro Martínez of the Montreal Expos had a perfect game through nine innings against the San Diego Padres. The Expos scored a run in the top of the tenth inning, but in the bottom, Martínez gave up a leadoff double to Bip Roberts, and was relieved by Mel Rojas, who retired the next three batters. Martínez was therefore the winning pitcher in a 1-0 Expos victory.
