    HOF difficulty is ridiculous

    The HOF pitching difficulty may be the most ridiculous thing I've ever played in a sports game. Pretty much every single ball hit is a fly ball to the warning track at best.

    Had a no-no going with Chris Archer on AS++ difficulty. Really, one of my better games I've pitched on MLB15. Of course, it included an MLB15 derpy OF play (OF COURSE!) to ruin the perfecto. But in the 8th inning, it flipped difficulty to HOF. Three (b2b2b) jacks later, Archer is pulled. But don't worry, guys! I gave up two more jacks in the 9th after somehow scrapping another run or two out of the b8. Won 7-5.

    The HOF pitching difficulty stuck, and now such deep threats as Johnny Giavatella, Brad Franklin, and Alexi Amarista have all gone yard on me. I'm convinced Juan Pierre would demolish one on HOF pitching. Insane.

    Or you just arent good enough to play on hall of fame right now. When it drops down to AS+ again lock it in so it doesn't go back up.

      The difficulty bump shouldn't mean the difference between ground balls to the right side of the infield and Eric Campbell'esque guys going 440ft on you with consistency.

      Stanton, Harper, Cruz? Sure. Amarista? Come on.

        Which pitching interface are you using on HoF? Meter, Pulse, etc.?

          The difficulty bump didn't make these players super hitters, they made your pitches a lot easier to hit. You're much more likely to serve up meatballs. And these are major league hitters after all so any player can crush a ball if given such pitches.


          HOF difficulty takes getting used to. You really can't throw a fastball down the middle to establish strike 1 anymore like you could on All Star. Its all corners, edges , mixing up pitches.


          I'm 143 games into a season on HOF mode and I have a team ERA of 3.66, good for 4th in baseball. Default sliders.
