Hi
Just got the game on friday and been playing quite a bit. Really like it and some of the commentary is great (I lost control of my curve during a 6 inning no-hitter and plunked 2 batters, ended up getting thrown out... Morgan actually made a comment on how it was stupid to throw out a pitcher when they were in the middle of a no-no which was very cool)...
However, I've noticed something where you can basically induce an infield to shallow outfield popup or lot's of K's if you have a pitcher with a changeup high out of the strike zone. The CPU tended to either whif on the ball completely (80%) or just pop up (15%) the ball as I threw changeup after changeup (it never figured out that I was doing the same pitch over and over). Only person who was immune was Abreu (who I ended up walking) which might be due to his rating. Tested this in a situation batting with the Phillies vs Phillies through 6 innings using Lieber, Rhodes and Santana and their changeups. Difficulty was All-Star with default sliders.
Anybody else have this experience? I'll probably tweak the CPU hitting sliders, but I like the number of K's right now (avg 5-10 with 1-3BB depending on pitcher) and hesitate to mess with that.
thx!
