    I've probably played over 1,000 games of The Show at this point and I can tell you what the major issue is regarding walks. It's the fact that when you, "miss your spot," about 80% of the time it results in a meatball that catches a ton of the strike zone. If the game tweaked it to be more around 20% of the time and the other 80% of the time it missed for a ball, it would be perfect.

    As it stands now though, missed pitches result in too many strikes and not enough balls. Not saying that missed pitches don't ever miss way outside the zone for balls. They do. But just not nearly enough compared to pitches that miss over the heart of the plate.
    As previously discussed the lower you put human control the more of the plate they tend to catch. Try using 4 or 5.

      HOF is the way to go guys, less wacky things happen and it remains consistent... yes I know there is no come back code. but easier difficulty makes wacky random things happen late in games I find

        The only "chink in the in the armor" (no pun intended) is the cpu leaves relievers in to long even when their pen has two pitchers warmed and ready.

          - if you are feeling this way...try lowering it down to 7 or 6 when simming. I am going to run some more sims and see how it goes.

          - I will set up every teams 25 man roster before the end of spring training. I also fix lineups and rotations throughout the season for the other 29 teams. On the OP I have my routine and what I do in 30 team control.

          - If you are feeling this turn down the CPU hook a click to 4 and go from there. The lower this slider the quicker the hook (if memory serves me correctly).

            I have been seeing a decent amount of walks for myself and the cpu with hitting and batting on hall of fame...@armor and sword awesome gameplay with these sliders my guy!

              Clean screen is definitely the way to go...it makes pitching so much more intense because you really don't know where that ball is going when you throw it just aim and pray lol

                That is a slippery slope considering it effects starting pitchers as well.

                  Last night Tanaka went 101 pitches for me over 7 1/3 innings striking out 9. He still did not get the tiring message. Then gave up a monster dinger to Longo.....done.

                  But if your staff needs a little boost 6 will do the trick on the stamina slider. Also it is impossible for me to know if you are using a lot of max effort or 75% effort on your button presses with classic pitching.

                  I personally really pick my spots for max effort. But if you use it too often...you will tire faster.
                  Give me more insight on how you pitch please Armor!
                  I don't think I'm doing it right

                  I've seen your other post on how you throw certain pitches, might want to give us a guide for every pitch?

                    Again it works fine while actually in a game, and sliders have no effect on simmed games so this is a futile convo lol.

                      Oh and sorry guys came over to my sister's a night or two ill get my camera and other stuff posted up prolly tomorrow or tomorrow night.

                      Btw Armor, combined Stanton and Judge have hit 15hrs and accounted for like 36rbis through my first 14 or so games.

                      Stanton is hitting around the .250-.260 Mark though and Judge is up around the .380-.400 Mark so there's a big difference lol.

                      Damn keep forgetting stuff lol, and Stanton has homered in 4 straight games.
