How to unlock the Grand Slam achievement in Kinect Sports Season Two - Definitive Guide

Choose rookie difficulty then for the first two pitches just hold the bat out as you would for a "bunt" but swing a little bit forward slowly to hit it softly. This got me to run to the first base on my first two goes. So run fast and slide at the end.

Then either do this again for the 3rd shot or do what i did and just hold it out for a "bunt" they sometimes catch it but you will get at least one before your 3 strikes are up. If they don't catch it it guarantees 1 base, you don't have to run to it.

Do this with 2 more batters and once the bases are loaded raise your arms and change to a batter with a gold bat then swing the best you can, it is a lot easier to hit home runs with those batters. If you get the home run all the players at bases will run round and the achievement will unlock.

Hope this helps! Feedback and comments welcomed.

Worked perfectly, although my first two bunts were caught so I stuck to swinging to hit for a 1st base run.

Excellent solution for those without a 2nd player. This worked for me 1st time. I then hit a 2nd grandslam in the 2nd inning. +1

This is the easiest way I have found to get this achievement. Play 2 player local game. Have the batter hold the bat out for a "bunt" while the pitcher throws a straight pitch. The ball will bounce right behind the pitcher giving the runner a single. Do this until the bases are loaded. It's easiest to hit a homerun when the pitcher throws a slightly faster pitch down the middle. As the batter, swing fast and swing at an upward angle (like a half golf shot). Grand Slam.

I actually did this against a Pro AI, although I suspect it was at least half luck.

What I'd like to add, though, is that when I had my bases loaded, I took the presented "Change Batter" option by raising my hands (a voice command is also included) to change in a batter with a sparkling, golden bat.

I've never, EVER, before gotten a home run. (I think the game sucks at picking up left-handed movement) But that golden batter got one first try, no problem. Grand Slam.

Hope this helps! When I get properly back online, I'll + on the solution though, definitely easier than against an AI.

Getting the bases loaded is more of a challenge then the actual homerun. Often times you’ll get a double or triple which breaks things up.

On Rookie difficulty though, the CPU tends to have terrible fielding. Therefore, you can bunt the bases loaded. Stick your bat out but don’t swing in order to bunt. The CPU may catch a few but you should be able to get three on base this way. When loaded, raise your hands to call for a pinch hitter. The pinch hitter provides a homerun off the bench. You just have to make good contact.
