pitch consistency and pitch control need help

Re: pitch consistency and pitch control need help

On allstar I have the control, consistancy, and frequency sliders on 1/3/1 and I'm seeing nothing improve on walks! I say the sliders are broken. I have played 26 games and I only have 37 walks and I don't swing at many balls. The CPU pounds the strikezone way to much! I'm lucky if I can even get 2. This problem seems to be worse than in years past!

The sliders aren't broken, you just have to know what you are doing. If you are playing on Veteran, Raise Control back up to 3, Consistency up to 6, and leave Strike Frequency where it is

If All Star or higher, raise Strike Frequency back up a bit, to at least 3 or 4, and leave everything else where it is.

When you mass-lower everything it becomes counter-productive, because you have the CPU pitcher aiming outside of the strikezone, due to low strike-freq, then missing within the strike zone, due to the low control/consistency.

In a nutshell, control affects accuracy, consistency affects how often that accuracy is a factor, and strike frequency affects pitcher aggressiveness before control, meaning it doesn't affect where the pitch actually lands, just where the pitcher intends to throw it.

Re: pitch consistency and pitch control need help

This issue is related to just about every issue in the game but said it 5 different ways. Look at the thread started about "the most important aspect before sliders" The game is being reverse engineered around a faulty batting view. The first two things that should be adjust to the batting view and then strike frequency. 0-2 for strike frequency. 2 is the hardest statistically because first strike pitches radically change baseball in the pitchers favor.
