I think hitting is broken in this game to be honest. It's nothing like years past hitting wise.

I have the same problem but I remember last year's game was the same for me until I got to the offseason and got better COACHES! I had forgotten that this year, I don't know if there are any good teams with coaches but I know the Twins suck which is hurting my team. On my 2nd season with '10 I got all new coaches and won the world series because of it..

Two questions for you, are you using zone hitting? Are you using guess pitch?

To anyone with more knowledge then myself, what would be the biggest drawback to lowering the foul ball frequency? I ask because the CPU seems to foul off everything when down in the count which is killing my strikeout totals as they end up putting it in play weakly eventually instead of striking out. I dont want to lower contact so this is the only thing I can think of that might help, any ideas?

same issue here. Opponent pitchers during the course of a game average about 9 strikeouts against me per game. I'm averaging 5 total counting relief and a big part of it is the foul ball frequency.

I'm still getting great results with Solid Hits at 2, so I won't make the change yet.

After a couple of high-scoring games I just finished a 12-inning thriller.
I was the Brewers at home against the Nats.

The score was 1-1 after 8 innings.
Ankiel hit a solo HR in the top of the 9th to give the Nats the lead, but I tied the game on a bases loaded walk.
They took the lead again in the 12th on another solo HR, this time from Stairs.

The bottom of the 12th looked like this:
Walk on a 3-2 pitch.
Steal of 2nd.
Walk on a 3-2 pitch.
Sac bunt. (runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out)
Int. walk.

Bases loaded, 1 out, down by 1. Prince was up next and hit a hard ground ball up the middle which hit the pitcher's foot and bounced away. The tying run scored and Fielder was credited with an infield single.
Braun then hit a deep fly ball to center to win the game, 4-3.

I'm having a ton of fun with these sliders.
And I use Zone hitting without moving the left stick at all.

It's now set at 3

Lowering it from default produces more choppers, bloops, slow rollers, etc.

You don't want rockets and bombs every time someone makes contact

I agree. Everything else is spot on for me except CPU K's. Their hitter eye is too sharp (laying off a pitch on the black with two strikes) or they foul off the pitch. Very hard to get the K also don't believe I have ever caught the CPU looking. I'm lucky to get 5 K's in a game.

Well I've mentioned it atleast twice and gotten zero feedback from either Psycho or TNK so I'm left to assume they aren't seeing this as a problem. If you figure something out then let me know as its becoming a major annoyance at the moment.
