I have tried an experiment after the last patch based on feedback in the main thread as well as the default thread here and tried something different that has been a pleasant surprise.
I went and changed everything back to default, all-star pitching and veteran hitting, then made the following tweaks.
Hitting - Changed human timing to 2 and CPU consistency to 3. Did this only because the timing window is bigger on veteran, and so reduced it to add some challenge. CPU consistency on 5 also gets you too many grooved pitches, where now they miss their spots and don't leave as much over the plate.
Only other changes were wind to 4 to reduce fly ball distance and injuries to 6.
I finished my 2017 Yankee franchise and likes what I was seeing and I will be starting the 2018 season with these and tracking stats so I get a better view from that piece. But I am liking it so far and I will post some stats later. HR have not been crazy and errors seem to be back in line, without having to tweak that slider. I want a bigger sample obviously, but this last patch seems to have had an effect on gameplay at mostly default. (And when you think about it, timing at 2 on veteran is probably pretty much equivalent to timing at default on all-star)
Just though this was interesting, though I still need to see more data. I almost wish they would stop with the patches now
