Yeah it certainly does adapt to what you do, senior AI programmer Brian Ma from SCEA has explained exactly this on these forums a few times.

I took your advice and I was able to draw 3 walks my last game! You're right if you swing at the first pitch strike a few times then the cpu won't always throw that first pitch strike. It was a weird game though, I took a 5 - 0 lead in the bottom of the 3rd and then the next inning the cpu hit 3 home runs, a double, and a few other hits to take a 7 - 5 lead, I ended up losing 9 - 6. I know there probably isnt a comeback AI but I have had a few games where I would take a big lead one inning and then the next inning the cpu is unstoppable as they get hit after hit and take the lead. After their big inning Im all of the sudden not able to do anything right and every hit is hard but right at someone. Those games have made me a bit suspect on the comeback AI.

Hey Bulk I do not see your sliders up there. I did adjust them manually. I was going to knock up the power like last year but staying patient. Hit one or two per game which is perfect.

How are everyone's strikeout totals? It seems with this year's sliders I've been striking out a hell of a lot more than I did in '09 with Psycho's sliders. I used to average anywhere from 5-6 strikeouts a game, less on a really good day. After playing almost 50+ games I strikeout 8-10 times a game. Also, the walks are just not there for me. On a really good day I can get 3 walks but that doesn't happen very often. Almost every pitcher I have faced just hammers the corners to get a head while I hardly find MY pitch to hit. After managing to get a 2-2 or a 3-2 count, the pitcher continues to paint the corners. I consider myself to have an above average batting eye and and can tell the difference between a ball and strike as it's coming towards the plate. That's all useless if you're up to bat and can't get ahead in the count when the pitcher has pinpoint accuracy. Like Rex Hudler says, you can't hit the ball if the pitcher doesn't make mistakes.

Steal results on these settings? Realistic for user and AI?

I'm at Arm Strength -1 (4), Br Speed 0 (5) and Br Steal Ability 0 (5), and the steal percentages are waaaaay too low.

In another thread, someone tested and believes (seems credible) that the Br Steal Ability slider is reversed, and needs to be moved TO THE LEFT TO INCREASE STEAL ABILITY.

Im stealing at a very realistic clip.

Stealing is all about picking the right man, at the right time, on the right count and pitcher etc.

Im 15/17 over about 30 exhibition games for stealing.

Hey these sliders are pretty decent I usually own on the batting side of the game, and I get bored cuz I crush all day. But pitching wise I am owning the CPU, in 10 straight games I didn't give up more than 2 runs. 6 were shutouts, 3 were 1 runs, and one was 2 runs.....I mean I do have a killer staff (Lincecum, Cain, Garza, Hernadez and Lester) But still that is a lil ridic, no?

When you are pitching with Aces all day what do you expect? These are simulation-type sliders and you are playing with an arcade-type of pitching staff...

If you are "bored", you might increase the difficulty. Then maybe you would not be "bored" by your greatness so much.

Just a thought.

True, but what about the Yanks or Sox? Do guys have the same issues when playing with them? I am going to start a new franchise with Yanks and (CC, Javier, Burnett, Lackey, And Dice-K) lets see how that works out

When I said bored, I meant on HOF diff with default sliders, it was to easy, these hitting sliders are pretty decent, no need to be a douche

6 more home runs in every game? even when i played on vet. last yr entirely, i never got that. this yr, converted to Allstar and trying to stay there... hit about 2 per game, some games, none. NNY. The homeruns look beautiful.

Not 6 home runs, just 6 runs. In that stretch I didn't hit too many home runs, which is good since I was relying on them to generate offence earlier in the season.

Since that last post I dropped my last two games, though. Could get no offence going at all and only scored 3 runs in total. Lost 4-2 and 4-1. I keep making solid contact but it's always straight at guys, even hard-hit line drives into the outfield so I was mostly unlucky.

What..you got Lackey and Dice-K? You will probably be bored again. That is a pretty sick pitching staff!

I'm about to begin my 3rd rotation turn with these sliders.

Johan is up. I'll post impressions/trends/stats that Ive accumulated, afterwards.
