Lack of strikeouts.

Re: Lack of strikeouts.

Franchise play .. I play hitting difficulty on All-star and pitching difficulty on Hof , Sliders are set to exactly what I had them at in 23... but Im getting far fewer strikeouts while pitching now . In 23, I would get anywhere from 8 - 12 strikeouts per 9 innings , sometimes less , sometimes more.

Thru 10 games so far in 24 , Im getting 2 - 4 strikeouts per 9 innings.

Anyone else getting this , what adjustments should I make, if any .. or is 10 games played so far not enough to truly gauge if its an issue or not ?

Sounds like it is closer to reality than last year.

I'm getting 6-10 Ks per game with my ace. Around 5-8 with my 2,3,4, and 2-5 with my 5 guy. Far more realistic than the nonsense we had last year.

Yup.... I fix pitchers ratings every year and it helps,
75 k/9 rating gets pitchers around 1 strikeout per inning give or take.
I will be uploading my roster set sometime this weekend for anyone interested in more realistic sim stats, I just can't really figure out the relief pitcher appearances ( but I do 30 team control so it's a non issue for me )

Any plans to make a roster that improves K/9 whenever 25 comes out? Would be interested for sure

Ours will improve k/9 as usual. We're already working on plans for 25.

I usually go in every year and before I start my franchise and manually edit K/9 and some other stats for every single pitcher. Takes me about 2-3 business days to do it accurately lmao. I know your rosters are very in depth though and I’m looking forward to it for 25.

Re: Lack of strikeouts.

Lack of ks? If anything (even on legend) pitching is way too easy. Get your pitchers confidence up just a bit (good 1st inning)and the cpu batters have no plate discipline. My thought is when they have 2 strikes they don’t utilize contact swing unless the batter has the trait that expands your vision at 2 strikes. SCEA has made pitching way too simple. They need to have plate discipline matter.

This thread is talking about the sim stats more than anything. Also the Ks in 23 were way too high for user players on the hardest difficulty. 24 was much improved.

I use Pinpoint pitching, but I turn off the ball cursor and controller vibration and I walk way more now and still have a decent amount of Ks. Makes pitching a lot harder.
