My only complaint

[Marz929]

Hardly any swings and misses....anyone else think this is an issue? I absolutely love this game, but I hardly strikeout (which may sound silly, but kind of annoys me)....

Turn CPU strike zone frequency down. I play on Vet+ for batting and have it at 1. I strike out 6-12 times every game.

Have you turned the pitch speed to a maximum 100, that would also help in addition to the above suggestion, possibly.

Actually, I like that there's not all that many swings and misses, especially on pitches in the zone.

I looked up guys who had 200+ PA last year. They highest in-the-zone contact rate was 97% (Daniel Murphy). The lowest was 72% (Chris Carter). So the worst guy made contact in the zone 7-of-10 times.

Out of the zone is a different story. The worst was Alex Avila (30%). Best was Nick Markakis at 86%.

Pitching side is a similar story. Best at getting swings and misses in the zone was Kershaw at 78% contact (22% swing and miss). Worst was Mike Leake at 95% contact (5% swing and miss).

Out of the zone, best pitcher at getting misses was Tyson Ross at 49% (51% swing and miss - he had a wide disparity too, in zone 75%). Worst was Mark Buehrle (he's still around?? Colon too...Next I'll see Jamie Moyer lol) at 85.3% (14.7% swing and miss)

So if you're making a lot of contact in the zone, that's solid. If you're making contact out of the zone with guys that have low PVis (I think that's the "if you make contact" rating) and/or high K/9 and movement ratings (the swing and miss ratings), then that might be a concern.

Yeah - I'm on All Star, put Strike Frequency at 0 and it really challenges my eye/discipline, especially when facing a guy with good BB/9 and/or good stuff that day. Heaven help me if he has a curve, too.

Yeah I have strike frequency at 2, and man the curve is THE pitch this year. Changeups still give me trouble but they always have, but the curve this year is like the changeup from last year. I'm also throwing the curve a lot more, and getting a lot more success with it.

Sorry bit off topic. But yeah lowering the Strike frequency will make you see many more pitches at the corners, and will in turn produce more swings and misses.

Re: My only complaint

I play on All-Star level. Raise pitch Speed UP. Lower Hum Foul Frequency, also Lower CPU Pitch Strike Freq.

Look for "J-Boo Sliders 1.50" in the Slider Vault.
