Anyone here play on All Star default?

I think that this is the best level to play on. I get close to realistic stats as possible, with the exception of CPU pitch counts, but that's probably because I'm impatient at the plate. I've played 12 games so far and my record is 6-6. I've experienced all sorts of games from close, low scoring, blowouts and even a shutout. There seems to be a lot of variation here. I also noticed that homefield advantage and momentum are much more of a factor on this level as well.

This level offers enough of a challenge where I'm able to get great games without feeling like I'm either cheating or being cheated by the CPU.

Let's play ball!

I said this in another thread somewhere, but if you take the AI strike tendency slider down, it doesn't affect cards. And they throw balls all over the place with it at zero.

I agree, I'm having a blast with this game post patch on all star default, and I haven't touched one single slider. All of my games are challenging yet fun on all star no doubt about it.

really? I noticed that there little to no offense with the default all-star sliders. I played about 5 games with them and scores were always something like 1-0, 2-1, etc...neither team ever scored over 3 runs.

I've only played a handful of games, but I have had both high scoring and low scoring games. My last game Cleveland vs. Texas in Arlington was 11-7.

I found all-star to be the best for me. I've got a franchise going with the tigers and I get realistic results with the exception of a lot of home runs.

You know, I kind of feel the same way. I was always playing on All Star with my Pirates and have won some and lost some. If I can get the pitchers to throw more balls and be a little less aggressive, then it would be perfect for me.

What sliders would I change for this?

All star is a simdge too easy to get on a homerun tear.

Legend difficulty, with all star user hitting seems to provide a good balance for me.


CPU locates better, but the ball that I drive that is low and outside, ends up as double more often, instead of being driven out of the park as often as it is, with any guy with at least "ok" power.


Plus the CPU hitter is more challenging.
