Im using Zone 2 for Pitching(just casue its more challenging), and Classic Mode for Hitting, but it also works with the swing stick and any other form of pitching interface. I tested it with all.
Player Options
Batter Contact:5 to 30 for Legend 35 to 50 For allstar 55 to 70 For Pro 75 to 90 For Rookie This slider has nothing at all to do with hit variance Just timing. The higher it is the more forgiving it is with your timing and allowing u more contact. The lower it is the better your timing has to be to make contact
Batter Power: 30
Batter Influence:30
Power Swing:0 Game is so Hr friendly, and this helps some not alot.
Step Influence: 60 Raise it if u want more of a challenge with the timing of your stride to make better contact, but 60 is a good starting point.
Pitcher Difficulty: 95
Batter Bunt Assistance: 30
Batter Bunt for Hit: 0 This slider make no sense at all. If u place the ball right u will get a hit., especially if the player that places the bunt is fast.
Runner Baserunning Spd: 100
Runner Stealing Success: 55
Infielder Errors: 50 this will not only allow a realsitic amount of erros but they wont catch every diving attempt also.
Outfielder Errors: 50 Same as above
Infielder Speed: 25
Outfielder Speed: 40
Catcher Throw Speed: 60
Infielder Throw Speed: 60
Outfielder Throw Speed: 40
Infielder Reaction Speed: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Outfielder Reaction Speed: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Fielder Spd Burst Length: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Fielder Spd Burst Power: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Fielding Aggression:50 The higher this is the more important it is for u to call for the ball or your teammate will crash into u. Raise it if u want this to be more involved in your game.
Pitcher Fatigue: 40
Pitcher Interface Speed:50 becuase starting it to high will not give u the feel of having to adjust to new speeds when your pitcher tires so 50 is really good. Its slow then it will speed up to as high as a 100. Which gives u something to adjust to. Also it being slow sometimes messes u up also, so focus is needed. Works great with the Zone interfaces.
Injuries: 50 This is fine.
Pitch Speed: 85 OMG please trust me when I tell u this. 85 is the perfect and the most realistic pitch speed in the game. Tim wakefields knucklers reaches the plate the way it is suppose to. With this pitch speed u must guess pitch and be ready for the right pitch. You will truly feel like a MLB player at the plate with this speed. Now if it is tuff for you. then lower it , but everything else will be coming into the plate at a slow motion feel or higher and there isnt much of a speed variance from different pitch types. Please trust me on this. Just give yourself time to adjust or move hitting contact up.
Pitch speed for different skill levels

I guarantee u will get everything u want with this setup. Strike outs looking and swinging. Mistakes being rocked, and good strikes going for hits and outs. Batters walking, and batters chasing pitches. It all varies from game to game.
Much longer at bats with the cpu and really making you pitch and making pitching faitgue matter, but dont get it twisted you will see first pitch swings from time to time but at a more realsitc pace, and if they are in a hole they do become defensive at the plate, but remember plate discipline and strikeout ratings also takes effect on how the at bat will end.

I also guarantee unpredictable pitching. The only thing is on a 3-0 count they will throw a strike alot which is realistic. As we know in baseball most of the time they ump will call it a strike anyways, and most batters dont get the green light and take it,but On any other count they mix it up, and this also varies from game to game and who is pitching.

These sliders were built from the legends level and adjusted. I really like these and played with all different kinds of interfaces and they worked out nicely. Now with hitting with classic your hit variation only comes if u hit with moving the left anolog stick as your hitting the a button. If u just press the a button your basically going to get more hits up the middle, so use the left stick to influence where u want to hit the ball. If u want to calm down the HR's then dont uppercut swing so much just push the stick to the left or right.
Any questions holla, but iam straight with these. Im not making any adjustments from my behalf but if there is something your having trouble with let me know and ill tell u what to adjust.
I also want to give credit to the brother who came up with the AI hitting sliders that I felt played nice. I tried them out and adjusted from what he had. The brothers is Bulls23. Nice job homie, and thxs.
Also remember when something occurs in the game look at player attributes, just dont assume the outcome wasnt correct.
ENJOY!!!!!!!
