Settings I use:
Difficulty: All-Star
Guess Pitch: Off (I have not tested these sliders with it on, so I'd advise you to do the same. The lower pitch speed should help those making the transition from GP On to GP off)
Baserunning: Auto
Fielding: Auto
Throwing: Manual
Pitching & Batting View: Catcher (A switch to outfield view when pitching might help anyone who finds pitching too easy)
API: On (I find that most of my strikeouts come when I shake off the CPU's fastball and throw something offspeed on the corner at the knees)
Drawing walks: Take pitches until you are thrown a strike for atleast 90% of all at-bats. Take every 2-0 pitch unless there's a RISP. Alot of the time, in 2-1 counts, a pitch on the edge gets called for a ball. Be selective. The first inning of every game should be where you are examining the release point of the opposing pitcher. Watch where his hand ends up, and label that to a spot in the stands. That is where you should be looking before the ball is thrown.It will help you recognize pitches earlier.
*For franchises, make sure to max spending in ALL development areas.
