First, set the following CUSTOM sliders, and be sure to use them when setting up your game.
CPU Pitching Ability: 60 (increase as you improve)
CPU Batting Average: 35 (increase as your pitching improves)
CPU Batting Eye (Balls): 55
CPU Batting Eye (Strikes): 50 (These 2 should give you realistic strike out totals if you work the batters and throw smart).
CPU Throw Strikes : 15 (Lower as you develop a better eye)
CPU Stealing Frequency: 70
Then, adjust your gameplay options as follows:
Difficulty: All-Star
Pitch Speed: VERY fast
Batting Cursor Size: Small
Pitch Cursor: Off
Strike Zone: Off
Variable Pitching: MEDIUM (ensures both you and the computer make a sufficient number of mistakes, but won't make the CPU give up as many MELONS as when you put this to High)
Swing Feedback: OFf
Pitch Preview: Off
This may not work for everyone, but for me I've been getting realistic results in very fun and challenging games...I had a NO hitter going into the 7th with Wakefield and felt the disappointment as he gave up a double to end the party...
Please post your results if you decide to give these settings a spin...
I love this game.
