Don't know how much they've changed the programming in 2K6, but last year I played 300 games with classic hitting (True Aim). Mind you, it was 2-button as well, so... Anyway, I played with Contact @ 15, Power @ 50 and Pitch Speed @ 40. I averaged .240 and 1 HR every 69 AB's with those settings, using a team of no-name scrubs. And keep in mind I struck out 480 times on pitches that would have been called balls I thought that was a cool stat they kept last year, BTW.

I played 2K6 (360 version) enough to know the pitch speed is slower this year, so I bumped that up to 70. I didn't get around to trying classic hitting, because I don't like 1-button swinging, plus I wanted to give the swing stick a try. That's about all I can contribute

I use "20" for contact and power and get good results.

Re: Very Expierenced Hitters (CLASSIC)

I use 5 for contact and 45-50 for power.


Its too easy to make contact this year. Way too timing based. Having contact at 5 lets me miss the ball sometimes. And power at 50 makes it so that anyone is capable of hitting a HR. Not just your power hitters all the time.

My AI pitching setting are more difficult too and play a major role. I have AI pithing set at :

Pitch speed- 80

corner-50
change location- 85
change speed -85

throw strike-30
throw strike behind-25
throw strike ahead-30

Even with these setting I feel like its too easy to hit, but I do strikeout atleast . I want my cursor back from all 2K baseball games prior to 2K5. IMO that is still the only true way to represent a ball actually making contact with the bat.
