We recently bought this game for our son (used) unfortunately there are no instructions. Can anyone help. Basic game controls would be very helpful if nothing else.
Hope these are the right ones

EA SPORTS PURE SWING SYSTEM:
The Strike zone is divided into nine colored squares. Red squares mark
the batter's hot zones. Blue squares are the batter's cold zones. Clear
squares are neutral for the batter.
Take unprecedented control at the plate by moving the Control Stick during your swing.
-The results of your swing depend on your timing, the location of the pitch, and the direction you move the Control Stick.
-For the best results, move the Control Stick towards the location of the pitch.
-To hit the ball in the air,
move the Control Stick Diagonal Up-Left / Up / Diagonal Up-Right while
swinging. This increases the chances of hitting a fly ball, but also
increases your chances of missing the ball if the pitch isn't up in the
zone.
-To hit the ball on the ground, move the Control Stick
Diagonal Left-Down / Down / Diagonal Right-Down while swinging. Keep in
mind that high pitches are very difficult to hit on the ground.
-To hit the ball to the left,
move the Control Stick Diagonal Left- Down / Left / Diagonal Up-Left
while swinging. For the best results, use this when the pitch is coming
in on the left side of the plate.
-To hit the ball to the right,
move the Control Stick Diagonal Right-Down / Right / Diagonal Up-Right
while swinging. For the best results, use this when the pitch is coming
in on the right side of the plate.
TO THROW A PITCH:
1. Press and hold the button that corresponds to the pitch you want to throw. The bar inside the pitch meter begins moving.
2.
Release the pitch button when the bar reaches the end of the pitch
meter. The closer your release point is to the end of the meter, the
more effective the pitch is.
3. Press the pitch button again
when the bar is within the green accuracy zone near the beginning of
the pitch cycle to determine the pitch's accuracy.
-The effect of a
bad pitch depends on the type of pitch. For example, ineffective
fastballs are slower than normal, and less effective breaking pitches
are flatter.
-If a pitcher misses the green accuracy zone by a
considerable amount, an indicator (red for hot zone, blue for cold
zone, yellow for ball, white for neutral) appears to tip off the batter
to the location of the pitch.
PITCH SELECTION
Your
pitcher's pitch selection appears on-screen. Not all pitchers have the
same arsenal of pitches. A pitcher's four-seam fastball is always
assigned to A Button. The remaining pitches are assigned to X, B, Y and
R Button (though not all pitchers have five pitches).
FIELDING
-If you power up the throw into the red zone, you throw harder, but less accurately, which could result in an error.
-If
you select to throw to either a base or the cut-off man before the ball
arrives, the fielder begins his throw immediately upon receiving the
ball.
NOTE: The CPU automatically adjusts your defensive
alignment based on the situation. However, you can override this by
choosing the infield and outfield alignments yourself.
EA SPORTS BIG PLAY CONTROL:
Using
the all-new EA SPORTS Big Play Control, you can climb the fence to rob
home runs, make spectacular diving catches, slide around tags, and more.
FIELDING:
- To dive or stretch for a ball just out of your reach, move the C Stick Left/Right toward the ball.
-To climb the wall to snag a would-be home run or jump for a ball over your head, move the C Stick Up.
-To make a sliding catch, move the C Stick Down as the ball approaches.
BASERUNNING
Timing is the key to a perfect slide. Use EA SPORTS Big Play Control to create havoc on the base paths.
C Stick:
Up = Head-first slide
Diagonal Up-Left/Up-Right = Head-first slide to the left/right side of the bag
Down = Pop-up slide
Diagonal Down-Right/Down-Left = Hook slide to the right/left side of the bag
Up = Dislodge ball from catcher.
