Thanks for attempting to get this figured out.
I guess try adjusting the sliders in the complete opposite direction, since the other way is causing even more swings.

Also, have you looked at the player editor at all to see if theres a plate discipline attribute that could be adjusted? Maybe thats the only possible fix for batter patience.

Do they have gray pants on? And does it say New York or does it say Mets?

Guys, gonna go run to the gym for a while with the wife now, be back in about 2 hours.

By the way, still haven't gotten the cpu to look at even one called strike yet. I think on Legend, the CPU is even MORE aware of the zone and only swings at strikes. May have to lower the difficulty to All-Star. Will try when I get back.

People remember, the patch is released on the 3rd when the game drops...so many of these problems may already be fixed....

if they aren't...god help us all.

That sucks. One thing I really do like to do is get out the legends and play games. I could throw with Bob Gibson all day. But unlocking the teams was way too hard last year. Penalizing us because we tweak the sliders is just lame.

In fact, don't lock the legends up!

Jersey says NY, pants are pinstripe white.. Zone Hitting is really challenging trying to move the cursor while using the swing stick is a PITA

Also once you move 1 Slider they become "CUSTOM" Not happy about that right now. Wish they would've use the NBA Slider Model where everything stays @ 50

I can't speak to the NBA series, but that's how sliders worked in NFL 2K.
