Lack of walks still an issue

I've seen quite a few.

Have you adjusted the sliders at all?

I completely disagree with the OP. I'm seeing tons of walks, and better than that - a great variety of walk totals. I'm giving too many walks when I'm pitching with Classic, but that's a different story.

The other game, I managed to get 14 walks in a game. 14.

Game before, I got 1.

You either need to adjust the difficulty (pretty sure the AI grooves more pitches on lower difficulties), get better at taking and fouling off pitches, or adjust sliders. I suspect it's a little of everything.

For what it's worth, I'm playing DD, currently on All-star+ offense and All-star pitching.

I'm having the same problem HERE, though my problem is with the lack of walks in RTTS, specifically the minor leagues.

I haven't played enough Franchise to say either way.

I will probably start messing with the sliders sooner or later, though I wish they could get it right I didn't have to.

Remember that the difficulty in the minors is different than playing in the majors. I might be slightly off, but in AA, the difficulty is actually one level lower than the one you're playing; so if you're playing a RTTS AA player on All-Star difficulty, you're actually playing on Veteran for the time you're in AA. I think AAA is the same, and the majors is actually harder than the difficulty. I'm sure someone with more knowledge can clarify.

The lower difficulties suffer from a lack of walks, so you might need to bump the difficulty temporarily.

I'm aware. Playing HoF at the moment, in AAA.

I've walked twenty something times thru six games in my franchise playing on All-Star.

I noticed 2 weeks into my franchise (play every game, no quick counts) that my team was WAY behind in walks compared to the rest of the league. Since then I've been really focusing on trying to get walks (while still trying to score runs lol) and I've been picking up around 3 or 4 a game.. It's actually helped my offense as well.
So you can either adjust some sliders or just really focus on trying to be more patient and get more walks... it worked for me
