    Fear NO MORE..This Tweak Is Here....

    I figured this baby out...

    The game is great..but I was having one problem..I had pinpoint control or threw too many meatballs if I raised the Total Control Pitching slider. I could draw walks but never really issued one outa spite EVER, unless I did it on purpose.

    Here is what to do and I now absolutely LOVE this game...you will loose control ohh ya and feel like your actually in the game!

    -First thing is to turn the "strike zone" setting to batter...to give you a better eye at the plate...I found when I turn this off/post pitch I swing at WAY too many balls.

    -As most know turn all the "AI Throw Strike" slider to 0. Also turn all the "AI Take Strike & Balls" sliders to 100..I have the AI Take Strike Behind slider at 75 though. Put the "AI Meatball" slider at 0. Put the "AI Corner" slider at about 0. Put both "Foul Ball" sliders at about 75...I like alot of fouls but too many increase the strike count which is the part of the problem. Put the "Total Pitch Control" slider at about 50 or even lower to avoid meatballs and to combat the changes below

    -Now in the roster editor take your team MLB, AAA, AA, A or all and for the pitching rotation do the following to edit each of your pitchers:

    *Turn the "Walks" slider all the way up...first thing this does is tighten all the umps strikezone especially with 3 balls.

    *Turn the "Composure" slider to 0...this is awesome, get 2 on in the first and get "tense" it begins to shake...if you get "rattled" its pretty hard to find the plate. They needed to incorporate this more into the game anyway not just the bottom of the 9th...its now there often.

    *For every pitch listed turn the "Control" slider to 0...first this speeds up the "Total Control Marker" and really itensifies the composure shake.

    Give it a try folks its awesome....now its a work in progress and maybe someone will provide some tweaks to it but this is simply an awesome starting point for anyone IMO. Also finding your likeable sliders with this mod. will even make things better...lemme know what ya think? :wink:

    Nice to know editing pitch ratings works this year. It hasn't for years. Suggestion: lower every pitcher's pitch control ratings by some chosen number - say 80% - so that pitchers on the team with the highest control ratings still have a bit more control than the others.

      Good suggestion...now again I am only doing the attribute changes for the team I'm controlling only.

      You can maybe even do that with the "Composure" slider too...but they both REALLY need to come WAAAY down so I would even do 90% even.

        Understood. Just takes a few minutes of editing and you're set for the season. Don't know why more people don't do it.

        I understand what you're saying about 90% for all. But I usually leave a few guys on the team with higher ratings, just so there's a bit of variety (and realism) with starters from game to game. I might, say, lower my #1 guy by 60%, #2 by 70%, #3 by 80%, and maybe a couple of relievers at 70 or 80%... that sort of thing.

          I'll have to try that. I've been giving up about 2-4 walks per game, but I don't feel as though I'll have those occasional games of walking 8 or 9.

            Ya but you probably did it on purpose so-to-speak meaning you tried to get the cpu to swing at a ball and they did not. With this you will walk guys by tyring to pitch strikes!!

            You will also learn how to pitch in tense and rattles situations much more often. Tense is tollerable kinda but when you gett rattled you just try to aim for the middle of the plate and throw strikes...its fun!

              Hey have you noticed anything with the foul ball slider?? In my opinion if you set it to zero you will see a lot more hit variety.. Set to high and you see a lot of weak grounders and pop outs..

                I'm going to try Walks Allowed Slider at 0 given them a F not all they way up for a A+ and then in all pitchers pitches tune down control by 10 - on all pitches.

                I will test it on 2 teams in a series 1st before doing the whole damn roster!

                  Actually I was usually trying to throw strikes. Unless it is someone I'm purposley pitching around (like an Alex Rodriguez or a Vladamir Guerrero), I do my darndest to throw a strike if behind in the count. I will try to get them to chase while ahed, but if I'm down 3-1, 2-1 or even 3-2, I will attack the zone.
