        Hey Armor, I was curious as to your thoughts on the trade frequency if setup as follows compared to how you have them listed. Any glaring issues stick out?



        Spring Training & Off Season (5)
        Start of regular season through April & August (1)
        May & June (3)
        July 1st - 29th (4)
        July 30th & 31st (10)
        September through season end (0)

          What are we doing about the lack of strikeouts and the CPUs uncanny ability to hit off the 0-2 count? It's maddening with this set right now and just doesn't represent realistic baseball.

          I'm dead last in strikeouts and dead first in walks allowed. This is a direct symptom of the CPU being able to hit off anything and not swinging at balls outside the zone. It's also leading to a lot of really close, low hitting games, which absolutely fks my team's batting average.

          This set is solid overall, but the bizarre trends are starting to affect my season.

            Wow. Just played one of the most fun games all year.
            CC got rocked but ate 5 innings for us while giving up 8, including 6 in the 2nd inning. Offense was clawing back all game before finally surging over the top in the 9th.

            We were down 6-0, then 6-3, 8-3, 8-5, before going into the 9th being down 9-5. We absolutely destroyed Boston's bullpen in the 9th to win the game 16-9. A great rivalry moment and we've now won the first three of the four game set after winning both of the first two games in extra innings. Up 13 games in the division but always feels like we are so closely matched when playing head to head.

            See images and definitely check out the sequence in the 9th! Did all of this with Gleyber, Sanchez, and Gardner on the bench taking days off too. Frazier goes 6 for 6 with 4 RBI and 3 runs scored in his first game up since Tauchman hit the IL.

              Dude...I have not tested anymore...been playing with the OP set since May 20th.

              These are not slider issues. This is legacy code. If you are not enjoying the game....I don’t know what to tell you. I am first in walks allowed too (well known long documented legacy issue)....but not last in strikeouts (middle of the pack).

              And 0-2 counts.....yeah you gotta throw out of the zone.....like in real life. You throw strikes to get ahead you throw out of the strike zone to get hitters out. Once I realized how good the CPU is on HOF in 0-2 counts or 1-2 counts I got much better at pitching out of the zone. And sometimes when you want to throw out of the zone with classic....it does not always work out that way.

              If you are going to let a few stats grind your gears.....wrong slider set for you. I am long done worrying about anything with MLB 19. Simply been playing the game non stop since release.

              Good luck.

                It's all about placement and pitches. I get frustrated too that the CPU eye becomes dead on once it gets to two strikes, but you can't just expect to blow a fb right by them. Got have movement. The CPU will chase. I'm in September in my carry over and I have games that will only get 4 5 strikeout by my starter and 0 to 1 or 2 by my relievers and I'm the indians. HOF pitch movement and placement is important.
                Are you getting outs? That's what counts. On games I struggle for strikeouts, I then move to well he will miss this or not get a good enough on it to hurt me.
                Other thing I learned is, you can not (not even on AS) (I have another chise using JoshC set) pound the strike zone. Every time I get to aggressive and pound the zone, I end up getting pounded. You have to be able to pitch for a ball on purpose.
                IDK where I stand league wise in stats because I usually only look at all star break and season end. Next time I'm on, I'll go look and see.

                  I had to start over when I lost my save file so I only have a small sample size at the moment, but through 6 games out of all the pitchers I have played in games I have 50.2 innings pitched with 23 strike outs and the ratio should increase as the season progresses based on past experience.



                  HOF / classic / clean screen.

                    Well that's disturbing.

                    100% agree. I'm not talking about pounding the strikezone, I'm talking about purposefully missing outside low or inside tight and having mediocre players rope linedrives. I fixed this last year by decreasing CPU Timing, something this set may benefit from. Check your stats, I'm curious to know.

                        I'm using the full minors v2 like every year. I adjust each teams roster to make it more even across positions to prevent the first couple game trade frenzy. I take a few minor leaguers and will swap the positions. For instance, if they have 7 3B and only 3 or 4 1B, I'll swap a minor league 3rd baseman who has a secondary position of 1st and switch so 1st is his primary. Best way to stop the lopsided trading the CPU does to even out positions. It has worked great for 3 years now doing that.

                              Can someone explain to me a guy who's owned the game 9 days how Classic pitching improves the simulation and gameplay experience compared to Pure Analog? I feel more involved in each pitch using analog and have more fun pitching feeling like I'm finding an arm slot and release point with it. But I am a 2k13 convert. I guess I want someone to sell me on classic. I have switched to directional hitting and it's fun and satisfying, I turned off visual cues and it's weird but I'm adjusting, I've embraced 30 team control but I can't get over not using analog pitching. Help me, someone make the case.

                                Classic = ratings determine the outcome, and there is no user input with the exception of how short or long you hold the button.

                                Using other interfaces, you can actually master it and become too good, rendering the cpu useless.
