I might keep to default on offense and take a look.

I had both pitch speed at 7 prior to patch. After patch I’ve moved to 6/8, same as I used last year. Only playing my first game but seems to be working well

I've been playing on hof for both and recently moved human pitch control and consistency to 3 and cpu power and hard hits to 6 and gave up 9 runs with porcello then 5 with price so I'm liking the challenge

Finally got around to playing my first full game this year, and it sure was a good one. Red Sox tied it up late, but I slammed a 2-run homer with Jonathan Schoop to put me ahead.

Also my first time using a new batting camera (Offset Zoom) and fully utilizing the directional batting influences. Batting feels so natural in this game, it's awesome. Can't wait for V1 of these great sliders!

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

Unfortunately, there appears to be no fix currently for a lack of human pitcher walks. No matter what I do or what settings I use, the human pitcher simply throws way too many strikes. It completely ruins the realism of the game. Until someone comes up with a fix with sliders or the game is patched, I’m going to have to shelve the game.

Are you using button pitching? I'm giving up about 3 walks a game.

Yes, Classic pitching on HOF. Throwing way too many strikes.

Put control back to default 5 and use the ball marker. When control goes lower the human o pitcher tends to throw pitches in the zone not out of it

I would lower pitcher consistency, because as someone mentioned lowering Pitcher Control tends to make the ball more "hittable" (i.e. fastballs down middle, hanging breaking pitches, high changeups, etc...).

Although these are terrible pitches, they are strikes. Lowering consistency will make it so that even if you try to throw the same pitch in the same location, the chances of getting exactly same result will vary. This makes it so pitches on the corner leak more outside, or low, or high.

Sometimes these will leak back out over the plate as well, but they will be less "hanging pitches" and more "wild".

What will turning the ball marker back on accomplish?

So you’ll know exactly where you’re trying to throw your pitch. For sample a waste pitch.. you never really know with no marker if you even have the right location on the pitch

Pitch to the corners and when you down 3-1 in the count still try to paint the coners.

This is an interesting concept. It's almost like when you use meter pitching and miss the line completely. It devalues the effectiveness of the pitch and acts as a "meatball" of sorts. Gonna keep testing this.

Lowering consistency helps, as suggested, as well.
