I LOVE what has been done with the timing window. This provides an additional split second to really determine if a pitch will be in the zone or not.

Glad you are enjoying the game. It's definitely nice to be able to pull more pitches with my slower reaction time.

My OF runs to catch a fly ball, he's in the market you see for flyballs(where if you're in it, you'll catch the ball), and then the ball drops right beside him(and he never even attempted to catch the ball...he just stood there!)

Then when I go to bat, I had a runner on 3rd, and the pitcher throws a wild pitch, but the only thing....he backboarded that wildpitch(meaning he threw the ball,it hit the wall that's a good 30-40 feet BEHIND home plate, and it bounced straight back to home plate at like 90mph so my runner at 3b got tagged out at home!)

On plus side....Past 3 games I went 2-1:

I'm averaging 4.67 runs per game,10.33 hits
CPU averaging 3 runs per game,8.67hits

So not a bad few games.

Another strange fielding play.....
Line drive at my 1B, and instead of trying to catch the ball....he DUCKS!


I won that game 9-4 though. Craziest hitting game I've ever had.
Using same sliders that 2 games ago I lost 2-1.

Me: (this was on all star hitting with power and solid hits on default)
9 runs,13 hits
6 home runs!(2 from Hardy,2 from Jones)

Adam Jones:2 home runs(one was 473ft!),3RBI,4-5 on the day

CPU:
4 runs,11 hits,2 errors
2 home runs

12 of the 13 combined runs came off home runs.


Felt like much more realistic game(in terms of where pitches landed) 74% of mine were strikes,69% of CPUs were strikes

Game was at Shibe Park in the rain(11mph wind)

[3fiddy]

I just finished a game @ Shibe. Homers all over. 322 ft. And 330 ft homeruns. I gave up 2 2 run shots to Michael young. High outside fastballs jus drove the other way. Top of the 9th I hit a 2 run homer with pinch hit Freddie Freeman to take lead 6-5.

[Majingir]

Another great game!

Beginning of game looked like CPU would dominate(3 runs on 4 hits to start game) but held them off in the end.

Jays:8 runs,15 hits
Braves:3 runs,8 hits

Bautista went 2-4 with 4RBIs, but both of his hits were singles!

I am still adjusting. In fact, I may have to RAISE the pitch speed (from default) to try and eliminate all of my early swings.

Analog pitching is a lot of fun this year. I am able to miss my intended target with more regularity if I am just a little off on the R-stick.

I think it was pretty easy because I think the default speed now is about the same as my slider adjusted 2k12 speed. Before it was impossible going between games between the speed differences, but now it's easy.

One thing that will always get me is that high fastball that I always think is a curve coming out. I'm talking about the super high one. It's easy to read it as curve and swing incredibly late. But the good thing is you never make contact with it, so at worst it's a strike. Sometimes it's the hanging curve which is at minimum a double.
