Question for you hardcore HH'ers

[kpeercy]

Guys,
I'm gonna buy HH next week and just have a question. I can imagine how HH stats are realistic with the exception of one stat. That would be human team walks. I would imagine that number would be very low (maybe even 0 with the exception of intentional walks). How do you guys handle that or do you just ignore it? I've been playing ASB on manage only mode and really having some fun.

Not at all. I would say you can get 3-4 walks a game easy, plus the apposing pitcher will get tired and wild leading to walks. Now, if you're a free swinger......

I think you misunderstood me. I was speaking of walks issued by the human player (playing in the field).

I walk 1 or 2 a game sometimes. There is a slider to adjust the accuracy of the pitchers and a slider that affects how good the CPU works the count. This game has sliders for almost everything. You will be able to tweak it perfectly to your liking!

Just because you call for a pitch to be in the strike zone doesn't mean it's gonna hit. Especially if you're painting the corners.

I've gotten into a few 3-2 counts, tried to paint the corner with the pitch, and ended up issuing the walk.

Depending on my pitcher I usually walk the CPU anywhere from 1-5 times a game.

If I get a count to 3-2 I have to remember not to just groove a pitch, just to not walk a guy. I was just grooveing them for a while and was getting killed on 3-2 counts.

Re: Question for you hardcore HH\'ers

If you play on All-Star difficulty or higher, if you don't walk some people, you'll more than likely get rocked consistently. You really have to work the plate, instead of just throwing everything down the middle.

Like others have said, just because you call for a certain location doesn't mean that's where the pitch will go. A pitcher's control rating and fatigue are big factors in determining where a pitch ends up. I've had instances where I called for a ball, but the CPU player hit the pitch, because I couldn't place it far enough off the plate!

I'm having about 2 non-IBB walks a game, so far. Also, if you want to rack up some K's, you're going to have to work the plate, too. You won't just blow everything by the CPU. You're going to have to work the count and mix up the pitches effectively.
