Pretty much ever since I got the game I have been finding myself changing sliders (while trying not to deviate too much from default) and difficulty levels to make the game tougher but now I feel I have reached a level from where only minor tweaks will be needed in the future.
I'm only playing on the Vita but the sliders should work for the PS3 as well.

* those sliders are mostly defined by user skill and my values are just rough recommondations. So everybody feel free to adjust them to their liking.
PS.: I'm aware that I might be a bit late to the party and that most of you guys have created a personal slider set that you feel comfortable with by now. But maybe if any of you should feel that they are dominating on All-Star or especially are having trouble to make Analog Pitching challenging then my set might be worth a try.
