Is noone working on sliders?? I am having some serious problems striking out the AI. I have tried putting contact down to 25 and skill at 45. This is way below what these guys recommend. BTW, i am playing on AS level. It seems like i can get strikes on the AI but they ALWAYS hit the 3rd strike. Any ideas?

I've found that throwing high and away fastballs just out of the zone is resulting in a fair amount of K's for me. I also use the effort meter and throw those fastballs at anything above 80%. That's worked a lot.

I also try curve balls with about 60% effort low and out of the strike zone, but not bouncing it in the dirt.

Dont your pitchers tire really quickly? I was doin about the same effort as you and my starting pitcher with a 127 stanima was toast after 60 pitches.

The pitching fatigue is definitely one that needs to be bumped up some. Mark Mulder was showing as tired in the 4th inning in my game last night after 50 pitches.

Well I guess this begs the question - Which way on the slider increases stamina? I have it set at 45 and was able to have starters throw 100+ pitches into the 8th before having to yank them.

I wasn't sure if increasing this slider meant that you were increasing fatigue or if it meant more fatigue.

No Problem. Here's what I've been using the last 2 or 3 games (these are also being tweaked quite often):

** Vibration is off under Presentation

SETUP SCREEN:
Legend
Confidence Off
Everything else on that screen is on

GAMEPLAY SCREEN
Real Pitch Speed
Everything else is off

CONTROLS SCREEN
True Aim
Classic 1 button swing
Power Pitching On
Everything else Off (might turn auto round bases back on)

HUMAN OFFENSE (haven't messed with these much)
Power 50
Baserunning Speed 45
Steal Success 50

HUMAN DEFENSE
All at 50

HUMAN PITCHING
Variability 55
Fatigue 45 (not sure if down increases fatigue or lowers it? This seems good for me though.)

AI BATTING
Contact 47
Skill 47
Take Strike Overall 55
Take Strike Ahead 53
Take Strike Behind 50
Take Ball Overall 48
Take Ball Ahead 55
Take Ball Behind 47
Hitting Power 47

AI RUNNING
Aggressive 50
Steal 2nd 55
Steal 3rd 50

AI PITCHING
Corner 55
Change Speed 57
Change Location 55
Throw Strike Overall 33
Throw Strike Ahead 42
Throw Strike Behind 47
Pickoff 50
Pitchout 50

MISC
All at 50

These have given me pretty good games. The last few games I've been able to put a decent amount of runs on the board late in the game. I'm not sure if this is a slider problem or just luck.

Just waiting for Millenium's final roster before I start my franchise. Hopefully I'll have settled on a set of sliders.

No problem. Let me know how it turns out and if you think anything should be changed. I'm still experimenting so anyway to make an already very good game better is fine by me!

Like I mentioned above, I'm also not sure how the fatigue slider works. I tried to test it earlier today during a game, but messed up and I think I accidentally said "no" to enable sliders during my test. So that obviously messed the whole thing up!

I'm preety sure the higher you bump the fatigue slider,the easier the pitcher will get fatigued.

JB,
I'm just now incorporating your sliders too. Let me know if you make any changes to them.
