On Dynamic Difficulty, is it best to use default sliders?

Great at pitching.
Bad at hitting this year. I strike out a lot. A lotttt, because my brain never got use to the flick hitting. My brain is use to analog. I'm use to pulling back and releasing if I don't see my pitch. Now if it's 0-2 my bat goes too far and it's non stop strikeouts for me.
Was bad at fielding left field, because I want to get the ball smooth and my player twitches. Most of this season I had it on auto and I only throw the ball, because I've been trying to get my last trophy. Rob a home run, but auto makes the plays look smooth.

I switched from Dynamic and went to straight all-star. The game seemed more realistic. On Dynamic, I found the game to get somewhat unrealistic - opposing teams performance accelerated so high that I knew from the get go that I was going to get beat. OFers that running at twice their measured speed - I'd pull a shot down the LF line but the outfielder looked like the Flash and got to the ball and fired a rifle shot to 2nd. I was out by 30' and Keirmaier was running who is 90+ speed rating.

There are some good slider sets out there but I've never used them. I'm going to start another season and install a set and see how it plays. Most o them look like they will exacerbate weak hitting but there are many to choose from from.

I'm sure this was too many words without offering any help so I apologize.

Strongest for me is pitching. I find that I'm able to pitch myself out of jams fairly well as I don't let the "pressure" get to me.

Weakest is driving in runs. When I put ducks on the pond, I become an undisciplined hitter and swing at just about everything.

The strongest part of my game is my defense. My timing on jumps / dives is very solid.

The weakest part of my game is hitting the low changeup. In or out of the strike zone, that pitch gets me every time. I can't lay off it, I can't wait on it, I'm just terrible against that pitch.

worst: OBP
best: pitching out of a jam

For people reporting they are weak at hitting, what hitting views are you using?

If you haven't played around with hitting views - try a custom setting and adjust so that eye level is even with the pitcher. Makes it a little bit easier to not swing at the low pitches.

I use the default catchers view. I know I should probably change it, but I am VERY resistant to changes, especially when it comes to my view.

Hitting for sure. I played a franchise with the Blue Jays on Zone hitting and I play on hall of fame. I've been playing since MLB 08 and I've just really created a good plate discipline. I easily hit 40+ HR's with 2 players. But I do not dare go on legendary. It's insanely difficult.

Tip for hitting: Take pitches early in the game and get the pitchers stamina/confidence down. Lower the green confidence bar, higher your chance of making good contact.

Re: The Strongest and Weakest parts of your game

Weakness

Hitting: I'm the anxious batter. Aka- my opposing pitcher never has a high pitch count. I'm extremely impatient at the plate. First strike I see, I take a hack. Can't hit changeups for the life of me. Also, don't really hit a lot of home runs (which sucks)


Strength

Pitching: I can rack up the strikeouts. Really strong at making opposing batters chase.

What a tidy post! Sorry, I know that's off topic it's just nice to see.

Ahh the changeup. I curse the changeup. It's only saving grace is that it cuts both ways. I dominate opposing batters with the changeup.
