do they keep track or your past seasons stats?

I need to sim a season today to check out all the off-season stuff for myself.

Anyway, my three tips for hitting:

1) Know the hot and cold zones of your hitters. These can be found by pausing the game and going into the lineup screen.

2) As a general rule, don't swing at pitches below the waist unless your batter has a low hot zone or you are behind in the count. Low pitches produce ground balls.

3) Get good at using the "big swing" (press right trigger/right bumper to activate). It's the only swing type I use against the CPU.

Against human pitchers, though, you will have to use the normal swing a bit since you can't just sit on fastballs all the time lol

To me the beauty of this game is on manual batting! It´s amazing really!

Im having a lot of dificulties batting for good average but i remember that it was the exact same thing when i started playing PowerPros! Eventually i got the hang of it and it´s incredibly rewarding playing like this!

I have CPU skill on PRO, default pitch speed, manual batting, pitching, fielding and auto baserunning for me!

Still can´t win consistently but that´s great!

Well that kills any chance of my getting that achievement.

question, weeman, or anybody else.. when you guys mention you put the cpu on fast pitching, do you mean you put it on the expert level? or am i missing a setting some where?

also, on the human settings, it has cpu batting listed under it, does that mean thats the level they hit on when the game is being simmed in fast mode and auto batting? just curious.

bc other than that, manual batting has to do with obviously swinging, and then what type of assist you use, low, little, medium etc.

To change pitch speed, go to season options and look under game settings.

Default pitch speed is "normal." I've been using "fast" pitch speed for increased hitting difficulty.

I may just do what you guys have been saying and turn off the human batting assist entirely.

Time to take off the training wheels!
