    PITCHING IS PISSING ME OFF!!!...

    i'm really digging this game. but the pitching is really pissing me off! i don't care what anyone says, the cpu DOES NOT chase bad pitches. i played all weekend and did not see one swing by the cpu at a pitch in the ball area. yes, i'm mixing my pitches, locations and i'musing the hot/cold area at times....
    I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...

    I have had the CPU chase bad pitches. It just doesn't happen as much as it should. Hopefully they add sliders next year to address this issue.

        Yep I've had the cpu chase bad pitches. You have to learn to mix up your pitches. I'm learning that now and getting more strikeouts. But not many. Strikeouts are hard to come by in this game.

            Ha, I get two a game beat that.

            Seriously I don't get many either I just don't get the system. It's okay because atleast there's a challange. On pro you can rack up quite a bit. All-Pro is tough.

            I get theme to chase a few that would have been balls on full counts.

                First two games of my franchise on AS level, I struck out the Yanks 8 times and then 2 times. I find that the comp will swing for a lot of balls that are just a fraction out of the strike zone. This might be the key...and of course changing speeds.

                    All the strikeouts I get are 1-2 or 2-2 counts usually and I get them to chase bad stuff. Thats when you aim outside their hotzones and they go fishing. If you want to strike them out without pitching close to their hotzones pick a corner and throw a really good curve or change-up in that corner, but it has to be right on the corner. I avaerage 5-8 SO a game with the Reds pitching staff.

                        I can't even strike out the pitchers with all cold zones. I'll get them 0-2 and then throw my best pitch and they drill it into the gap for a double. I like the game, but there are just periods I go through when I can't get anyone out. I have played 6 games and I have never had a strikeout against the CPU.
                        No, I didn't draft Grossman on my fantasy team, what do you think I am an idiot?

                            changing speeds is the most important thing. also, they will chase more when they have a hitter's count (3-1, 2-0)
