I want to first start off by saying, wow, what a HUGE difference.
I normally play on veteran for both hitting, and pitching. It made me feel comfortable since I figured I wasnt very good at either. I dont play online, and mainly stuck with franchise mode. With that said, I decided about a week ago to just try dynamic, I figured if I get hammered, then I'll stick to what's been working and stay on veteran. Well, to my surprise I managed to go from rookie, all the way to allstar plus. Yeah, I even shocked myself.
Playing on veteran was somewhat of a task if that makes sense. I firmly believe in working the count, and trying to drive up the opposing pitchers pitch count, so that he makes his mistakes and I can capitalize. Pretty sure what 99% of what everyone else does too. I admit, I'm a pitch guesser, I mainly guess fastball, and react to the breaking ball when need be. On 2 strikes, I always guess low in the zone. Cheating? Defeating the purpose of having a higher difficulty?Maybe, but it helps me. I will sometimes have a hard time driving up counts because I would react to the wrong pitch, and cause a grounder, pop fly, etc.
So, as I climbed up the difficulty ranks, I found it easier hitting. I guess its cause I cheese by guessing the pitch/zone on 2 strikes...whatever the case is. I do strike out more, which is odd for me. I never used to on the lower settings cause the pitch was almost always in the zone. Guess I must have a good hitters eye lol Anyway, I played last night against the Dodgers and Kershaw. I actually had him at 78 pitches at the start of the 6th, when before I would try and be around 50-60 on lower settings. I find it easier to work counts in my favor, yet still mess up and get miss/called on 3rd strike because of a border pitch.
Pitching is my strong suite, always has been. I wont go into too much about it. I always was able to pitch well, just didnt think I would have a era under 3 after 15+ games on Allstar.
I just wanted to share the new breath of life I have found after changing difficulties. Sorry if it's all common sense, just wanted to share my opinion. i know i need to turn off guess pitch, and probably stop guessing zones on 2 strikes, but to each their own. I'm enjoying it, my runs scored are on par. I average 4.3 runs per game. Dunno if that's good or bad.
Thanks for reading!
