I know there are alot of you out there that use Timing Hitting and Meter Pitching and I wanted to come up with a set for people using those settings. I didn't test with any of the other settings, but you're welcome to try them out with different settings and let me know your thoughts. I'm looking forward to some feedback on what you guys think about these. This is the first set for any MLB The Show game that I've posted publicly, so any form of feedback or CONSTRUCTIVE criticism/general thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Here they are:
*Note: These are the settings I use, but in most cases you can use whatever you're comfortable with. I just find these to be the best settings to get the most realistic looking animations and plays.
Batting & Baserunning:
Hitting Difficulty: All-Star
Hitting Interface: Timing
Hitting View: Catcher Classic

Pitching:
Pitching Difficulty: All-Star

Pitching View: Catcher Classic
Pitching Ball Marker: Fade
Pitch Callout: Full
Pitch Confidence: On
Pitch Delay: Normal
API: Off* (This is the biggest setting for me. The catcher calls for WAYYY too many strikes so I definitely urge you to turn it off and try to pitch to call the game on your own. It's alot more rewarding and I believe it helps with user strikeouts and walks while on the mound to get realistic numbers)

Again, most settings are user preference. And when hitting you must wait for a pitch to hit. These pitchers are gonna throw some meat up there occasionally and you have to be ready for it or it's gonna be a long 2012 season for you. Also don't swing at anything and everything. I've had very realistic walk numbers from both my hitters and my pitchers and it's because I'm PATIENT at the plate.
Anyway, enough rambling for me. I'm excited for some of you to try these out and let me know what you think!
Enjoy!
