I'm playing on Hall of Fame. The human contact and timing sliders are both one away from maxed out. The thing is that I am using the same sliders and the same difficulty level as I used for 15 and I'm getting a three or four times as many foul balls as I got in 15. Ultimately, my overall numbers (e.g. batting average, home runs, walk rates, strike out rates) are all pretty realistic. So this is a minor complaint. It's a little annoying.

I'm stumped then. I assume you tried playing with the Contact slider at default and only the Timing slider maxed out? I mean based on how the sliders worked last year, raising Contact should definitely reduce foul balls... but there's no guarantee sliders work the same way they did last year... So I would definitely try putting Contact back to default if you haven't already.

About how many foul balls are you seeing? In an average game, 50% of the balls you make contact on should be foul.
