No, I leave the CPU hitting at all 5 because I pitch on HOF and I do make mistakes over the middle and give up some HRs, usually at least one per game. You could definitely try bumping up the CPU Power if you pitch on All Star tho, or if you're just really good at HOF or higher and you're consistently shutting the CPU down.

Was that with your contact/power/timing/solid hits 6/6/4/6 slider set up?

Re: Hitting after Lastest Patch

I'm having zero issues since the patch, two games ago I hung 14 runs on Texas and hit 4 HR's including one with Ben Gamel of all people. Took a fastball down and hit a rocket to dead center with Nelson Cruz. In my current month, over a 12 game sample, I'm averaging right around 1.60 HR's per game.

Now the CPU on the other hand has struggled to hit any. In that same sample size they are hitting them at a 0.89 per game clip. Having said that the CPU has had this issue my entire season, through 145 games played, with an overall average of 1.06 per game.

Re: Hitting after Lastest Patch

Also what difficulty? Some of it comes down to difficulty settings, hitting interface...and even skill. If you're really good at hitting then you won't chase as many pitches, which will force the CPU to challenge you in the zone more which will definitely lead to more potential HR.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best hitter, but up until the last couple patches, I was having no problem hitting bombs on default All Star with all the hitting sliders at 5. Now that I've upped the power a couple notches, it feels about the same as before so I'm just thankful we have the sliders to tweak for offline play at least, or I would be pretty frustrated at this point.

Re: Hitting after Lastest Patch

Hitting has undoubtedly been nerfed. I'm fine with SCEA making adjustments to the game but at least tell us what they did in the patch notes instead of just saying, "various updates."

My biggest complaint was the excessive power, I was on pace to shatter all sorts of home runs but now I barely hit any. It's seriously one extreme to the other.

Re: Hitting after Lastest Patch

What I've found with hitting is that a -1 from the norm (5) can produce huge changes.

I tinkered with dropping hitting for myself and CPU pre-1.09 and finally settled on having all hitting default except solid hits (4). It worked awesome. I was able to get great variety on AS hitting and the CPU did as well as I pitched on HOF.

Then the patch hit and there was a drastic difference.

Now I'm on all hitting as 5's for me and the CPU and everything is beautiful.

I'll have games I get nothing and others I crank out 4-5 HR. I have an awesome fantasy draft team with plenty pop and I'm #1 in the league in HR.
