    Agreed. Played a game last night where my #2 pitcher Carpenter struggled with control the whole game. Even when the meter looked perfect he was missing spots and going deep into counts. He ended up with a final line of 6.0 IP 7H 4BB 3K 3ER. I love that sometimes you just don't have your best stuff.

      Started my real franchise game last Monday and these sliders are as good as it gets. Franchise ample size is small but when you figure in all of games I played before starting it is quite a bit larger with the same results.

      Currently 3-3 with my lowly Cubs (2-1 at Pitt.) (1-2 at Atl.). I'm hitting ~.275 as a team with a ~.319 OBP. The impressive thing here is in previous versions of The Show (v11 and before, skipped v12) I was happy to hit ~.305-.310 as a team because with the lack of BB it was the only way I could end up with a realistic OBP. With The Show 13 I am able to have a realistic OBP with realistic batting avg and BB. A huge step in realism.

      As others have stated star pitchers are not automatic, they can dominate or be shelled. Samardjia (sp?) dominated the Pirates in game 1 for me. Was gone after 2.1 innings in Atl giving up 7 runs. Pregame warmup he looked good and started the game out with a K and lots of confidence. A couple of bad calls, a bad play behind him, and things started to snowball quickly killing his confidence. It sucked for me but was really a cool thing to see in a video game.

        Battle of aces turned into a slug fest. I thought I had this game won easily. I was up 5-1 heading into the 7th. The Rays were able to score 3 to make it 5-4. In the bottom of the 7th Pedroia hit a solo shot to make it a 2 run lead.
        And then the 8th inning happened. The Rays batted around (and then some) and scored 6 runs off of Bailey and Tazawa to take a 10-6 lead and eventual win.

        Remember I said pitching seemed a little easy? NEVER MIND.

          TNK, I just made the switch to PS3 because of the Show, and let me say, these sliders are phenomenal! I love the Show! Thank you for the sliders!

            Of course I turn the API on and only throw what my catcher calls. I've had a game with C.C. Where he gave up 7ER in just 1.2 IP, only to come back his next start and throw a one run CG with 8 or 9K's.
            Doesn't API give the CPU comebacks late in the games?

              I haven't noticed that. I typically always follow what my catcher calls for with API.

                No not in my experiences, as in the one run CG I pitched with C.C. That you quoted.

                I can't play any other way, after highschool ball and playing in the minors it really kills the immersion for me as I got so used to just getting my sign and going with it.

                    You can always shake him off and press L1 to ask for another pitch type.

                        I tried these for the first time and both teams had a combined 5 errors! That seems pretty high.

                          Play another game I doubt that happens again..never seen that many errors. Was probably just a sloppy game.

                            Wow, just had to pause my game to tell you about this first inning I just had.

                            So its game one of our first series up in Toronto, due to fatigue I have to give some guys the day off. Gardner (Brennan Boesch), Wells (Ben Francisco), and Youkilis(Jayson Nix). So I'm expecting a rather slow offense day....man I was wrong!

                            So top of the first facing Josh Johnson, Ichiro lines out on a 2-0 pitch one out. Then Francisco lines a frozen rope to center for a single, Cano follows with a single to right. Hafner draws a 6 pitch full count walk to load the bases with one out.

                            Then Brennan Boesch his a soft liner to short two down. Jayson Nix works a 8 pitch at bat to draw a walk and force in a run! Now Lyle Overbay steps up falls behind 1-2 then smacks a bases clearing double off the wall before Cervelli flies out.

                            So heading into the bottom of the first we lead 4-0 and Johnson gave up 4 runs on 3 hits with two walks no strikeouts and he threw 36 pitches!

                            Easily the craziest first inning I've had yet. Also I so so thought overlays double was going for a grand slam, it would've perfectly endedthis crazy first.

                              I'm really enjoying these sliders but I'm having an issue seeing anything besides singles and home runs. I think I've hit 3 doubles total in my last 5 games. Is anyone else experiencing this?

                                Kind of the opposite. In my first three game series, I hit 6 doubles and only 1 HR. I upped both the Hum and CPU power by a click and will test today.
