So are we waiting on TNK's return to officially move Solid Hits to 3? I'm on All-Star as well.

loving the sliders but im 14 games into my season and I've only walked 10 guys pitching and I only struck out 30 or so times total batting. Any suggestions to improve the realism of these 2 stats?

I found that if I fill the meter to varrying levels on each pitch then it leads to more strikeouts, not big strikeouts like I was getting before we moved the contact slider to 6 but I did have 6 strikeouts with Kershaw in roughly 6 innings in my last game. As for walking the CPU, if you dont nibble on each and every pitch it generally wont happen, I have the same problem as I would rather challenge a hitter then give in and walk them but outside of severly lowering your pitching control/consistency/strike frequency sliders I dont know any other way to go about it.

Not at all, like i said, TNK may feel differently as hes on All-Star and he may well find SH at 2 is fine there, but HOF is a significant step up this year and i suggest anyone, like me whos on HOF goes to 3.

As has been said, you must continue to try to paint.

One of the things any slider set has little control over is the Human continually wanting to pound the strike zone.

I always try to nibble and have walked 39 men in 17 games, dont be afraid to walk guys to get to lesser hitters.

Wow I'm really liking SH at 3 and I play on All-Star for hitting... Just had a very nice game Rocks(me) vs D-Backs... The CPU HAS AN OFFENSE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!I won 13-8 it Hammel vs Saunders, hits were Col 16/Arizona 11... I had 3 HR's and 3 or 4 doubles(I can't remember right now)... I was down 8-4 in the top of the 9th I bat around and score 9 runs to take the 13-8 lead then Street comes in to close the door...

Thanks Psycho for the suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Encouraging news, im raising solid hits to 3 for HUM & CPU. Tired of 2-1 or 3-2 affairs. I will be staying on All Star diffuculty though.
