Batting Camera: It's the users preference (Does not affect game play)
Zoom: It's the users preference (Does not affect game play)
Pitching Camera: It's the users preference (Does not affect game play)
Pitching Interface: Payoff.....This is the best system for my sliders, it also removes the huge icons from Zone and Zone 1.
Pitch Point: Break Point........This is the most realistic set which punishes you for not using proper juice and accuracy on your pitches causing them to break from the location.
Batting Interface: (Stick) or Classic........This is the most realistic method for hitting, those that want to be in total control of where they hit the ball must you this only.
Batter's Eye: OFF.................This must be turned off since this will make hitting to easy by giving you a fat white circle when the pitcher throws meat pitches.
Batter's Eye Feedback: OFF...This must be turned off since you do not need a rumble to tell you when you are getting a fat pitch to hit.
Vibration: OFF.......................This must be turned off since you do not need to know if your pitch location is to outside or to inside.
Auto-Round Bases: ON.........(Does not affect game play)
Assisted Base Running: OFF...This must be turned off since you should be in total control of where the runners will go to
Smart Throw: OFF.................This must be off since you are the one that should control where the ball will be thrown to. With On the A.I will determine the best base to throw
Auto-Reselect Fielder: ON......This has to be on or the proper fielder will not be used when the ball comes to you unless you select it which leads to horrible fielding.

Game Settings:
Inside Edge: OFF..................This needs to be turned off since it's just a gimmick in this game
Catcher Cam: OFF or OFF......This is user preference...Off just requires you to throw to the base...ON requires you to aim correctly through the eyes of the catcher...
Arguments: OFF....................This must be off since arguments will lead to moral points which is a gimmick in this game.
Ball Indicator: Dynamic..........This will cause the ball to be impacted by the wind when you are fielding fly balls. Realistic aspect of this game
Auto Dive Back: ON...............This will allow the cpu to control the dive backs for you since you are busy trying to hit.

Broken Bat Frequency: Sometimes...This will lead to a realistic amount of broken bats in games.
In-Game Help: OFF................This has to be off since you don't need to know when to dive or climb walls... You should have an idea of when to do it yourself.
Game Setup:
Length of Game: 9 innings......This is the only number it should be set at if you want a sim game
Designated Hitter: A.L Parks Only....This is the way the MLB runs
Ejections: OFF.............Pitchers get thrown out to easy in this game...

Step Influence: 80...................This was lowered a bit to give you a better shot at not striking out a ton.
Pitcher Difficulty: 100.................This will make it harder for you to hit the top pitchers in the game like it should be. If you don't work counts you are cooked vs good pitchers
Batter Bunt Assistance: 40......This will make bunting a bit easier but not to much.
Batter Bunt For Hit: 40.....This will allow you to work the drag bunt better.
Runner Base running Speed: 50.....This is the perfect set for the human speed on the bases when the ball is hit in play.
Runner Stealing Success: 65....This gives you a solid chance with good speed guys and not so much with low speed guys.
Infielder Errors: 70....Not enough errors and to many diving stabs... This will force you to set your feet and dive less and try and stab more.
Outfielder Errors: 75......This will cut down on diving catches and wall climbs which are a bit overdone in this game...
Infielder Speed: 0.....This will allow you to get full range on your fielding approach since you wont overrun plays.

Catcher Throw Speed: 65....This will allow you to throw runners who steal that have less speed then those with great speed.
Infielder Throw Speed: 15.....This will allow for you to throw runners out with strong arm fielders in the hole and also allow the cpu to reach base if you are going deep into the hole to throw.
Outfielder Throw Speed: 0..This was lowered all the way to take away the laser arms...Still have strong arms but much better.
Infielder Reaction Speed: 100....This will something I tested a lot and once I left it at this set the silly fielding stopped for the most part

Fielder Speed Burst Length: 10...This will help you reach balls in gaps
Fielder Speed Burst Power: 10.....Look at the above post.

Pitcher Fatigue: 35...Perfect level of stamina for the amount of pitches thrown.
Pitcher Interface Speed: 100....This will make pitching a huge battle since the icons would move fast with the payoff pitching icon.. Makes it hard to be on point with all your pitches.

Pitch Speed: 80......I decided to put it at this set and it works well with the change of speed slider.
A. I General Options:
Game Difficulty: Custom Sliders
AI Infield Errors: 95.....This will cut down on dives by the cpu...
AI Outfield Errors: 100....This will reduce the amount of robbed homers by not allowing the cpu to always make the hard over the wall catch or the crazy dive. Works very well..I seen potential robbed homers go off the glove and what not.
AI Infield Speed: 10...This will keep the cpu at a realistic pace from grabbing all hits in the hole.
AI Outfielder Speed: 40....This is just right for the cpu to get to get to balls they should and not allow wall climbs all the time or dives.
AI Catcher Throw Speed: 85...This will allow your top runners to steal depending on their jump and bad runners to get gunned down if you get greedy.
AI Infielder Throw Speed: 10...This will allow the cpu to cut down on the horrible throwing off the back foot on grounders that should be easy.
AI Outfielder Throw Speed: 5...This will lower the lasers from the cpu outfielders allowing your good runners to score from second on singles or doubles into the gap
AI Fielding Aggression: 100...Perfect for the cpu fielders to collide if they get to close and its windy.

AI Steal 2nd: 75...Stealing second is a thing that is very common and so is this slider at this set...

AI Take Strike Ahead: 100...This will allow for the cpu not to swing on 3-0 like it should be... Some of the better hitters do swing from time to time so be careful...
AI Take Strike Behind: 75 This will allow for more take 3rd strikes which was lacking at default...
AI Take Ball Overall: 75...This will make the cpu take balls and not just hack at balls when they should be making you sweat at the mound.. Perfect balance...
AI Take Ball Ahead: 90...This will make the cpu force you to throw strikes depending on the hitters skill which A.I Skill slider has fixed...
AI Take Ball Behind: 35...This will allow the cpu to take a ball even when behind from time to time...

AI Contact: 60...This will allow you to get more swinging strike outs vs weak hitters and allow the big hitters to punish you for trying to get cute.
AI Power: 55...This is not a home run slider.. This impacts the power on the hits.. meaning doubles and singles that are hit harder.. This is perfect with the A.I skill at the set i put it in and the contact at the set i put it in.
AI Bunt For Hit: 100....This will allow the fast runners to try and beat you with a drag bunt..
AI Pitcher Difficulty: 0...This will remain at this set since the cpu would never score vs your big pitchers... but if you got a stud and know how to pitch well and what to throw to certain hitters you will get your strike outs and good pitched games.

AI Throw Strike Overall: 30...This is a perfect blend as the cpu will throw strikes depending on how good they are or balls if they lose control...
AI Throw Strike Ahead: 5...This will force the pitcher to waste pitches when they are up in the count like they should...
AI Throw Strike Behind: 30...This will make the cpu throw strikes when behind but not all the time which would lead to a lot of homers from the human..
