Is this cheating??

Ok so I suck at hitting.. Like I can't do it for the life of me... But I play defense realistically.

So If I up the User hitting settings pretty much all the way.. would you guys consider it cheating?

With the braves through 2 weeks I'm batting no lie .131

Customizing the game so that you get realistic stats and results is not cheating IMO. Whatever gets the job done - do it.

Completely agree. I suck at the game and I have issues with my hands and my mind unfortunately...so my sports gaming has gotten worse over the last few years. In this game I am playing on Rookie and I had to still up the hitting sliders for myself. My games are very competitive overall and I often still have a lot of trouble hitting. I am currently near the bottom in hitting at about .250 I think for team hitting and not hitting any HR's lately. But I also traded away some guys from the A's that could do better just so I could focuse on the younger players.

But I always say adjust the game to where it is fun for you. That is what the different levels and sliders are for.

Re: Is this cheating??

I usually have no hard time hitting in my chise early on, but once the generated players start filling up my team, i find it hard to hit.

Before i had Manny retire, i gave an A overall prospect his exact attributes, stance etc to see if it was the game, or if it was all in my head. I remind you i tore it up with Manny, but when i used this generated player i couldn't hit a beach-ball.

So when the years go buy, i just up my sliders a few till i get comfy and play on.

It's not cheating to adjust the game so you can hit. That's why there are so many difficulty levels and sliders. The game is designed to be customizable. I had trouble hitting when I started, so I put the sliders in my favor, and as I got better I moved them back down. I still get a few more hits per game than what would be realistic, but I only score 3-4 runs a game on average.

There is no shame in adjusting the game so that you have more fun with it.
