Please Owl, don't come in with that generic weak cop out.

The hitting has absolutely no rhyme or reason.

I just played one game where I didn't move the L-stick at all, not once the entire game, and I tore the cover off the ball. Scored over 10 runs for the first time in my franchise and I'm 25 games in. That's the first time in two years I didn't use the L-stick, I hate time-only hitting.

I was ripping pitches that were up-n-in on the black, yet I didn't move the L-Stick and I was hitting HRs and doubles. Yet for 25 games, when I moved the PCI so the ball was directly in the center of it and timed it properly, there was pathetic hit variety.

The PCI is useless, it means nothing. I'm still used to the cursor days of 2K3-4 and the PCI operates nothing like it. Getting your PCI to cover where the pitch coming in gives you no bonus, you're better off just leaving it neutral. How do I crush pitches that aren't even in my PCI but do worse on pitches that are smack in the middle of it?

what level

[ehh]

Right now I'm on Vet with hitting toned down. Played on All-Star the first 15-18 games but was so frustrated I dropped it down to Vet.

Vet is timing based lol no need for L stick

[ehh]

Rookie is time-only, Vet isn't.

Besides, I was having the same issue on All-Star for an even longer period of time.

Can someone give me the best possible "difficulty" and "slider" positions that will produce the most competitive games? Rookie for hitting and Veteran for pitching isn't bad. However, the total hits for each team are high. I beat Philadelphia 8 to 5, but the hits were 19 to 16. I'm sure there must be a way to tone down the hits and therefore make the game a little more "Major" league like. I wish I had the time to play 50 games right away to determine it myself, but I'm sure there must be someone who's got down a pretty good game of ball.

Just curious, ehh, what do you have Pitch Speed set at?

I have bad reflexes and in 09 (don't have 10 yet) had the Pitch Speed set to zero and that really helped open up the field for me, while at the same time not being a "cheap" advantage as the CPU would still manage to shut me down.

Can someone explain what SCEA gains from not saying what their plans are as far as a 3rd patch? It's getting irritating seeing weeks go by and hearing absolutely nothing from SCEA.
