Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 16 Timed/Classic Simulation Sliders
I'm thinking I may have to stick with Hall of Fame pitching.
So far, through the first 8 games I'm 7-1 and my team's 1.77 ERA leads the Majors. I'm still waiting to go out and get shelled but I just dominate every game.Comment

There's probably something subtle with ratings, with how we play, etc.
Just like some in this thread are dominating HoF Classic pitching."Some people call it butterflies, but to him, it probably feels like pterodactyls in his stomach." --Plesac in MLB18Comment

I use the API and almost always throw the pitch and location that the catcher suggests.
I have always played this way and think it adds to the realism of the game.
Give it more than 1-1/2 games, you will allow runs trust me.
I played 2 games last night in my Reds season, game 1 I beat the Mets 7-6. Game 2 I beat the Pirates 5-2. They only had 2 runs but had 13 hits.Comment

For everyone that is dominating pitching I suggest you give this a try. Is does take away from setting up batters but I think you will see more hits and runs giving up. I fell i have mastered classic pitching on allstar but moving it up to HOF just wasn't realistic. I should not have the best ERA in my franchise with the braves pitching staff through 50 games. It has been a small sample size 5 games but trying this way out I have giving up a lot more hits and definitely more runs.Now Playing on PS5:

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 16 Timed/Classic Simulation Sliders
So if u are worried about a lack of CPU runs with all star pitching, don't be.
The Pirates just scored 8 runs off of me in my last game.
8 runs on 14 hits and 3 hrs. Alfredo Simon stunk up the joint.
He only lasted 4 innings giving up 6 runs.ND Season Ticket Holder since '72.Comment

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 16 Timed/Classic Simulation Sliders
As far as hitting goes do you guys utilize the left stick to try and influence hits or simply buttons for swinging? I dont mean situational (ie. fly ball for a sac fly etc) I mean every AB? I don't and am starting to wonder if my abysmal hitting is a by product of that as it seems like I'm under anything up in the zone and over anything low in the zone so unless its in the middle 3 quadrants I'm basically screwed. I'm used to the style of simply pressing one of three buttons to swing and thats it but it seems like this year its vastly different, either that or I'm reaching at straws to explain why my guys cant do anything unless the pitch is right over the heart of the plate. I feel like there is something I'm doing wrong or differently then everyone else here as my offense is a joke and its really starting to ruin the game for me. I'm not swinging crazy, last game I struck out 5 times and walked 3 but I also went an abysmal 2/28 at the plate and I was constantly getting "good" timing and watching as guys did absolutely nothing with the ball. If it weren't for a Carl Crawford single followed by a HR from Howie Kendrick I wouldn't have even scored. I know I may have to test the waters on veteran for hitting but I really want to figure out this All-Star thing and I'm left scratching my head as I appear to be swinging at good pitches with good timing yet the results are garbage over and over again. Any help would be appreciated.Comment
