I bumped take balls and strikes so that they were 20 clicks off the right side of the slider and saw better results.

I think I have a good set from the All-Star setting. Will continue to test tonight, if I continue to see good results, I'll post them in the Slider Section.

Let us know.

Have you tried moving the pitch speed all the way to 0? The pitcher goes into his regular wind up only to release a ridiculously slow pitch that floats about 2 miles an hour, just like a Bugs Bunny cartoon.... I know, off-topic but it was pretty funny...

Hmmmm, still seeing questionable CPU homers. 0-0 count and I throw a down and away (barely in the strike zone at all) fastball and Huff just TORCHES it. I'm talking just SMACKS it for a homer. Uh........is this normal behavior? SWEET, Hernandez just did the same thing to me only this pitch was even farther off the plate. What the hell is the deal? Sweet back to back homers!

This happens to me on occasion... 9 times out of 10 its because I botch the release, or didn't put enough effort into the pitch.

The effort as as high as I can go without failing the pitch altogether and the release was spot on. Why when i'm pitching with Matsuzaka and someone is on base, my second gesture is completely ignored and it just blows by the release point and I fail the pitch every time? When no one is on base it recognizes the second gesture just fine. This is what's screwing me up and I don't know what to do about it.

I am really starting to dig this game. If i can find a way to get the pitching down. I need to find a way that i can tell that the CPU is throwing a ball. It really seems hard to see a ball coming.

I have seen some pitches come that i 100% lay off only to see them clip the zone and get called for a strike.

Is this a slider thing or a camera issue? Thoughts?

What a mess. So many things wrong. Presentation is horrible. Jeannie cuts off Steve before his analysis is done. It's like she is trying to quickly get to the game, kind of like 2k did with this whole thing. Quickly get it out the door before it's done. I'm trying to find some love for this, but it's hard.
