The Power slider may seem high for both teams, but I only average 3 HRs per game (user and CPU combined) I had three HR in my last game (2 CPU, 1 for me to tie game in 11th inning 6-6, a 2 run shot)
Update I played another game now:
LAA 4, STL 3.....11 innings ....Angels gave me 6 walks in the game...Lackey was starter he threw 20 pitches in the first inning (8 ball,12 strikes) and ended up with 74 pitches in 3 and 2/3 innings
One HR in game by Orlando Cabrera in the 11th inning
I gave up 4 walks
Next game: STL at KC
No home runs in the game....1-1 in 8th inning, when KC singled me to death to score 4 runs...I lost 5-1. Caught a foul ball behind the plate. One at bat had 3 foul balls. KC tried a suicide squeeze against me in the 4th inning, batter missed the bunt, and I tagged the runner out. These sliders are awesome and if you are tired of hitting 15 HRs in your game, try them.
