CPU Hitting Homers

[I_Love_Piazza]

I just bought this game last week after playing both HH and WSB so far on PS2 this year. I'm loving it, but one thing that bothers me a little is the lack of HR's. I haven't hit one yet in about 7 games, and the CPU has yet to hit any on Veteran against me either. Is this a bug or just a coincidence? I figured it was because I was keeping my pitches down (with Lowe, Pedro, Suppan, and Glavine) and not using the power button enough with my power guys, but now I'm getting a little suspicious.

Re: CPU Hitting Homers

You'll rarely get a homer without using the power target. Usually the pitch has to be right where you want it for it to be a homer, but occasionally you'll get one somewhere else. Point is, without the power target it's near impossible to hit one, and usually only comes LUCKILY off of a Pitcher. Personally, if my hitter has an inch of a power target, I'll switch to it for hitting, but if it's mostly the hitting target, I'll go for the line drives and such.
