    I guess that's kind of my challenge with this game. I would like less user control. Meaning, assisted fielding (they catch I throw) and better baserunning AI (I cannot get the baserunning down yet).
    Variance @ 85-100 should do it. Are you using good pitchers? Because some of the poorer pitchers are not accurate at all. I also did a test where I lowered a pitcher’s Accuracy rating into the 10’s and can tell you it was very difficult putting the ball within a foot of where I was intending.

    It’s a not a manage mode pitching game for sure, so I don’t know what to suggest. But you can switch to Base Running assist, Fielder Lock and Fielder Throwing assist, which is L trigger. I’ve just spent two days practicing base running and have almost got it down. It’s very okay once it becomes second nature – I’d even call it a pretty good game play challenge if you’re into that sort of thing.

        i use it. kzone is way too lame in my opinion if you are playing against a friend. the other person can see exactly where the pitch is going half the time and just tee up on it unless you want to spend 30 seconds every single pitch trying to fool the hitter, which is lame and boring again.

        i use it for singleplayer just for consistency and practice right now.
