first off.. I've been getting annoyed with this game to the extreme.. so I decided to go all out analog controls and use the "experienced" setting with very minor slider adjustments (wind down to 3, pitch speed 4, both errors at 6, cpu pitch consist at 3). I know this setting is easy but I'll up to all-star or higher after I get the hang of analog hitting.
here are the results. yankees (me) @ red sox.

the major difference I noticed between zone hitting and analog is with analog I get way more singles. maybe in zone I was just going for HR's all the time but analog seems to work. I even got 3 walks.. that's amazing in itself.
normally Beckett owns my soul but I destroyed him and had 9 runs in one inning.. then they put in Wakefield's cheesy knuckleball and that slowed me down til the later innings... (the fact he threw his knuckleball for a strike at a 97% clip is laughable)
I do wanna point out that I still believe CPU comeback logic is in this game. the Red Sox put a furious comeback on me.. which the CPU does seemingly every game. I did have a stupid error that cost me 2 outs thanks to analog fielding though... and Rivera got shelled (he sucks in The Show, always has)
if you're getting frustrated with the game.. just do what I did.. go all out analog controls and see what happens. I'm not expecting 12-11 games every time but I know damn well I wouldn't get one with zone hitting.
