    "Oh and BTW, the only Idea that I don't like in your plan is the "Superstars having a full Hot Spot zone". That's not even close to realistic. It might help them to hit more homers, but think about what else it's doing. Even the best players have places where they don't hit the ball as well, and by changing this you would be ignoring that."

    Yes but Im only going to give full red to a couple players. The other power hitters on each team will get four moves per side they bat against. So basically 99% of the moves I am making will still involve cold zones as well.

    Basically the only two players I think off that should have full red are Barry Bonds and ARod. Think about it. Can you REALLY think of any location where you can consistently get those guys out? My point exactly. Also in MVP its way too easy to nail certain spots. Its not fair to face Barry Bonds and throw pinpoint pitches in his "only blue square" all the time and be able to hit that spot everytime. Its not fair to the real threat of facing him in a real situation. Making him fuully red is the only option. And adding red zones to other power hitters is good too. They will still have some weak spots but not as much...

    So your saying Barry hits the ball as well low outside as he does high inside? That's not true and by giving him hots in both, that's what is being portrayed.

      yes i am saying that.

      wouldn't everyone pitch him there if he didn't hit that great in that area? but they dont because no one has a clue where to pitch to barry bonds at this stage in his career. why do you think he walks so much.

      obviously you dont watch much baseball...

          also because it is WAY too easy to pinpoint your pitches i must make it all red for him. if the game made it harder to pinpoint pitches then of course i would leave some spots blue or clear. the way it is now it robs you of being scared of him because you can just throw every pitch perfectly in the blue spot everytime. the blue is part of the strike zone. and the last couple years barry has hit every mistake in the strike zone.

          im having a hard time understanding why you have a problem with this.....

              Just my opnion, but it would be more helpful if you make the changes one at a time and do some quick testing to see how that affects things.

              That way, you can find out which of your changes do what, and tweak them as necessary.

              For example:

              You're subtracting 10 off of the control for each pitch. Maybe that won't have a massive effect - maybe you'd need to take off 20, or do some sort of a sliding scale. However, if you do all of the changes at the same time, you won't know if it's the control variable you need to tweak, or if it's one of the hitting variables that you're changing that you need to weak in order to get "realistic" results.

              In the end of course...it's your time, your work, so you can do whatever you think is best. Just offering up my twopence

                  What makes you think I havent tested anything yet??

                  My wife gave birth to a baby boy on Friday. We just came home on Saturday. Yet Im still pressing on...testing and testing..

                  I am almost done. I think I have found the right combination...

                      The original post wasn't quite clear to me whether or not those changes would be made all at once or one at a time and tested or how precisely things would be done. I did not mean to imply that you weren't testing or to offend you, and I'm sorry if I did...

                      More importantly in the grand scheme of things...congrats on the baby boy! I hope mother and child (and father) are all doing wonderfully
