It's been discussed at nauseam

Like a lot of players, MLBTS 23 and 24 has been hard to tune (especially the cpu hitters behavior).

I asked ChatGPT how to make the cpu hitters more aggressive.

Here was its reply:
Yes, the user pitch stamina slider could definitely play a role in the CPU batters' behavior. If your starting pitchers have high stamina and can consistently pitch deep into games, the CPU might be programmed to take a more passive approach, aiming to drive up pitch counts and get the starter out of the game earlier. This passive behavior can show up as CPU hitters taking too many good pitches, especially early in the count.

Here are a couple of things to consider:

1. User Pitch Stamina Slider: If this is set too high, it allows your starting pitchers to stay effective longer, which might make the CPU more passive in their strategy, focusing on trying to wear the pitcher down. Lowering the stamina slider could lead to more realistic behavior, where the CPU is more aggressive in attacking pitches early to avoid letting you control the game with a fresh arm deep into the later innings.

2. Roster Attribute Issues: Out-of-the-box rosters might have certain ratings or attributes for hitters that lean toward patience or discipline, which can result in overly passive behavior at the plate. If CPU batters have high discipline or vision ratings, they might take more pitches than they should. You can try using custom or updated rosters where these attributes are more balanced, which could lead to a more aggressive approach by the CPU hitters.

A combination of lowering the user pitch stamina slider and checking the CPU hitters’ discipline/vision ratings in the rosters could help address the overly passive behavior you're noticing.

Not saying that's right or wrong, nor do I have an opinion it it....just sharing with the community.

It’s a AI program that you can ask questions or it can do stuff for you like make a resume or something. Someone asked it to give them Madden 24 sliders.

If that is true, I wonder if the CPU stamina has any affect on how they pitch. If it’s lower, do they throw more strikes and pitch to contact?

The only evidence I have is personal experience which is 19 years of this game but certainly since 21. That being if you raise the pitchers stamina or the users contract you can see the computer paint more of the edges. Again this is my belief. Might be completely wrong. When contact and or pitcher stamina is left at default you can see more strikes and quicker innings when pertaining to pitches thrown.

Oh don't worry, I'm not! Went back to MLBTS 20 weeks ago.
Just thought it was interesting asking ChatGPT about slider adjustments.
