I actually just wrapped up my first season, where I played probably 150 of the games myself. I'm not with my PS3 at the moment (I do plan on posting complete team and player stats in the Franchise Progress Thread); and keep in mind, I am the Yankees. But, I'd say extremely realistic.

I gave up 183 (or so) HR's, and hit 234 (or so). That's 1.14 per game allowed and 1.44 hit per game. In real life this season, the Yankees have allowed 1.17 per game and hit 1.47 per game. So as far as I'm concerned, the power numbers are fantastic!

But, with other teams, those numbers would be very slightly high (or rather, towards the best/worst ratios in the league).

As you can tell though, seeing my numbers against their real life counterparts, you could probably imagine why I think Default All-Star (Timing/Classic) is the way to go this year. My stats are all pretty much dead on.

FWIW, I also have my Injury slider at 6.

All-Star Timing Only hitting and All-Star Classic pitching.

I hit from the new Default Catcher camera, and pitch from the Broadcast cameras.

Auto Field/Auto Throw. API On.

All Default, except:

Starter Stamina 6 (Human and CPU)
Pitch Speed 3 (HD TV with extremely minor input lag)
Fielding Errors 6
SB Ability 4
SB Frequency 8
