Had 2 errors which should have been 3 in first game for me.

Its called sarcasm lol. There were other issues that needed to be addressed and people are estatic about organ music lol

I would have been happy about the custom camera save, but it took so long, I got use to a preset so I have been sticking to that. Still toying with a custom setting, but yes it is nice that it saves now.

Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it seems like there is way less pop all of a sudden.......I know I can tweak the sliders but just want some other opinions on what you guys are seeing

I honestly haven't noticed a difference in hitting pre and post patch.

In RTTS options, the top one gives you the option of 1st person view or broadcast view. 1st Person is what does the panning. Broadcast doesnt.

I am using your sliders (as posted on all-star with only the stealing lowered to 4), and Ive notice a little bit of the same. There seems to be less pop on the ball, but I am seeing a good avg of hits per game still. Ive only played 10 games since the patch, so I didnt want to jump to any conclusions. I was going to give it another dozen games before I said anything.

I agree with Countryboy. It's the same.

The CPU hit terribly before, and they hit terribly now.

I'm working on it by boosting their hitting sliders and reducing my pitching sliders. But the new CPU hitting code (on AS/Classic/QC's at least) is producing the least intelligent and punishing AI I've ever seen in this series.

I LOVE the fact that they chase more realistically but otherwise I am not a fan of this year's approach at all.

That's funny because I'm pitching with Analog and I think the AI is still a little too superhuman. I'd wager your use of quick counts has more to do with our discrepancy than anything, though. Indeed, getting chases is not that challenging... The strikeout is the easy part.

The hard part is even getting to 2 strikes... the CPU is all over every single pitch I throw in the zone, and they hit it hard, no matter where I pitch. no matter where it is. It's like the Solid Hits slider for the CPU is set to 1,000.

I guess it's really just BABIP for the CPU that needs to be taken down a bit, at least in my experience.

LOL! It's BABIP that I specifically think needs to go up!

With QC's, I'm noticing that when my pitch timing is bad (with Classic, the game determines this automatically), the CPU is not getting much benefit. They seem to be "guessing" (and guessing wrong) far too often with their PCI, and very rarely do they ever put "Normal" timing on the ball.

I know that QC's has certain boosts given to hitters thanks to the count generation. If I recall correctly, the hitter receives a contact bonus if he starts with 2 strikes. I'd have to imagine the "pattern recognition" from normal full-game play must get amplified too though honestly this is just a guess on my part.

However, with my setup at least, the boosts and pattern awareness are not nearly enough. Not for the CPU hitters (I feel like my hitting is fine, by the way).

I'm wondering if possibly selecting an interface where my release timing gets determined by me may help. The CPU seems lost with Classic on AS right now, regardless of how good the hitter's ratings are. Especially with meatballs.
