No I have not, by how much did you bump it?

Start with just bumping it 1 notch and if you're still frustrated with too many lazy flys than go 2. I found 1 to be the sweet spot for the most part, but sometimes I'll bump it to 2 if I'm scuffling. Trust me though, it makes a HUGE difference and is the best slider to bump if you're struggling with too much weak contact. The actual Contact slider isn't what you want to mess with since that will only make it easier to get the bat on the ball, and may actually increase lazy flys since you're putting more balls into play that otherwise would've been a swing and miss or a foul. The Solid Hits slider on the other hand will increase the quality of your hits and help you to drive the ball more consistently, which will also lead to more HR (which is why you don't really need to increase the Power slider either).

The bottom line is this one tweak alone made the game feel right again after the patches for me.

Hope this helps others as well.

Life saver bro! I just bumped it one notch and Now hitting is back to normal played about 7 games. Scored 8,4,7,5,2,8, and 3 runs. Many hits at least 10 hrs. Amazing just bumping that 1 notch changes the whole game. Thanks man, I was finally able to smash pitches I sat on in Zone, felt sooo good again! I missed some but thats baseball.

Did you bump Cpu solid hits, as well? Or, just leave it as is?

Don't know about jeffy, but I certainly did. Makes pitching way more intense and fun (IMO) since you actually fear the zone. Makes it so I give up walks without having to mess with pitcher consistency and control, and I personally find that less frustrating.

After reading all the complaints about hitting i reload the game after around one month with those settings: Legend Pitching, HOF zone hitting, default sliders. I close the application after four HR's in the same inning. Also, i see all the old problems ( Gold Gloves infielders with zero stats impact and a lot of graphical glitches ). Finally i deleted the game, after a lot of wasted time spent trying sliders and different settings. This is my last MLB The Show. Goodbye to everybody and thanks for the good time. Peace.

Glad to hear it!

For now I just have CPU Power + 1 since it seems I give up a fair amount of hits on HOF pitching, but the CPU struggles with knocking it out if the park. I might try it out though as it would make it much more challenging and fun as TWW said.
