Pinpoint pitching vs the CPU

Almost one year after it was introduced are any of you still using pinpoint vs the AI and getting realistic challenging results using default sliders on higher simulation difficulties?

I don't use default sliders (I have control sliders and stuff way down) but I'm still using pinpoint and I'm loving it.

It's still tough to get realistic walk numbers but it's that way whatever you use. Everything else about pinpoint is great imo.

I have found pinpoint a bit too easy to master in it's current form. I still get semi-realistic walk results (usually close to fewest in the league, but still within reason), but I just don't seem to ever miss over the plate and give up enough hits. I'm hoping it's tweaked a bit this year because I love the idea of the mechanic

Where do you have your control and consistency sliders at?

I can't remember right now but I think it's like 2/0. I'll double check next time I play and confirm.

With default sliders the CPU doesn't stand a chance, with pinpoint pitching (like said above "too easy to master". I only occasionally will walk someone if I'm playing with quick counts and not paying attention. Otherwise, it's strike out city for the opposition. Still so glad pinpoint pitching finally made it to the show, it was my favorite feature of the 2k games.

Im not sure. Whatever the game is defaulted at. I just choice dynamic difficulty at the initial start and just roll with it. Usually doesn't take me long to progress to hall of fame difficulty for pitching.
