CPU power.

[Gagnon39]

I'm really hoping to not have to tweak sliders this year, it's always a viscous cycle once it starts. However, after about 10-15 games I'm starting to think that the CPU has just a little too much pop in their bats on Hall of Fame difficulty (pitching). I have yet to play a game where I haven't given up a home run. And there's been a TON of hard hit balls. Given, most of these are balls that I hung over the middle of the plate, but still 10-15 games and I've given up at least one bomb in every one.

I really can't see myself pitching on All-Star because I would strike out 10+ every game while allowing just 1-2 runs at the most. Sure I'd have the occasional hiccup where they may get 5 or 6 but for the most part any time I pitch on All-Star you can guarantee I'm leading the league in team ERA by 1-2 points.

Are any of you guys that are pitching on Hall of Fame making slight tweaks to the CPU's offense? I really like the feel of Hall of Fame pitching because it's not quite as easy to hit your spots as it is on All-Star (I use analog pitching).

Re: CPU power.

Have you tried playing on dynamic difficulty. You crank the sensitivity up until you get to all star + or HOF - .
Once you're at the desired level, turn the sensitivity to 0 and it'll stay there .

It seems like it to me in the games I've played.

Re: CPU power.

Its possible Hall of Fame pitching is simply harder this year...
Might have to swallow pride and bump it down to All-Star and work way back.

Could also mean nothing....sometimes you have a rough few games.

Re: CPU power.

I agree with you, @Gagnon, after my few games it definitely seems that almost every ball is hit hard on HoF pitching. Slider tweaks will definitely be needed.

Re: CPU power.

I'm feeling the opposite early on. Only about 25 IP so far but I've only given up 2 ER and one HR. I threw CG's with Ervin Santana and Phil Huges vs DET/CWS.

I'm on HoF pitching default. They swing and miss pretty often too. I haven't even used a reliever yet or warmed anybody up...

These are play now games. I wonder if the difficulty doesn't work in there. It feels really off to me.

Having the same issues in multiple game modes. Hardly any variance.

Re: CPU power.

I went in a regular season game and gave up 10 runs...felt like a different game.

My 3 play now games I threw 3 CG's.

Re: CPU power.

I also saw the same pretty quickly. I wasn't actually giving up excessive hits, line drives, or home runs per-se... but everything traveled faster than it should. Every grounder was too fast... even pitchers were hitting it hard etc... It led to a disproportionate amount of singles.

I've already lowered Power by 1 point and raised SH by 2 points to compensate. It seems to be perfect there.
