Here are all the sliders in the option menu while in-game. Not sure if any additional ones would show up if you look at this outside of a game but here goes. User Settings - Batting Batting Success Batting Contact Batting Power Pitcher Handedness Influence Inside Edge Batting Zone Influence Batting Pitch Influence Batter's Eye Influence Hit Direction Influence CPU Settings - Batting AI Batting Success AI Batting Contact AI Batting Power AI Pitcher Handedness Influence AI Inside Edge Batting Zone Influence AI Batting Pitch Influence AI Bunt Contact AI Bunt Success User Settings - Pitching Pitch Meter Speed Pitch Speed Gesture Recognition Hold Timing Influence Release Timing Influence Pitch Rating Influence Pitch Break Influence Pitcher Composure Influence CPU Settings - Pitching AI Pitch SUccess AI Pitch Selection Tendency AI Strike Zone Tendency AI Pitch Zone Tendency AI Pitcher Composure Influence User Settings - Fielding Fielding Errors Throw Meter Influence Fielder Speed CPU Settings - Fielding AI Fielding Errors AI Fielder Speed User Settings - Running Base Runner Speed Pickoff Success Catcher Throw-Out Success CPU Settings - Running AI Hit'n'Run Tendency AI Sacrafice Bunt Tendency AI Squeeze Tendency AI Base Running Aggression AI Steal Aggression AI Steal Success That's it.

I believe there are more than Steve showed in his screen shots. AI Strike Zone Tendancy should hopefully be the key to more balls from the computer!

Nice. I wonder what AI batting pitch influence does? I'm assumign it affects if batters can hit certain types of pitches?

In the CPU batting settings, I wonder what would "AI Pitcher Handedness Influence" do?

I wonder if it takes into account how effective the pitch was thrown. This may be the reason why people are having success getting hitters to swing and miss at perfectly gestrured/executed pitches. A maxed out pitch may be automatically harder to hit than one that is not based on the slider...at least that is my guess...not sure how I feel about that, though. A crappy pitchers best pitch is often still crappy and hittable.

I beleive when they put out the ratings, every hitter had a Vs. Right and Vs. Left ratings for some of the hitting abilities (power/contact,etc.). Because of that, I would assume this slider can be used to impact that influence. You may be able to make left handed pitchers more effective against left handed hitters.

That makes sense, thanks

well they hae handedness influence and pitch influence so i tend to think it just is the effect it has on a batter that hits lefties well vs rights. if you turn down the slider it will reduce that effect. I tend to think pitch influence is if a guy hits fastball really well and curveballs really poorly turning the slider down will reduce that effect. that's what i get by looking at the sliders.

I think you've got it. Sounds like we can adjust how much advantage is given to a L/R or R/L matchup or the disadvantage for L/L or R/R.

I see no option to adjust the AI batting tendencies. Regardless of how much they swing or don't swing, I don't like not being able to adjust it...
