It's cool that you don't believe me. I honestly would feel the exact same way you do, but you're forgetting one thing. Dynamic difficulty knocks me down to beginner. Ever play on beginner or rookie? Every pitch catches a whole lot of the plate. So terribles like me can get a feel for it. Try it. See if you don't get 20 to ding around. It's hilarious. I'll even make a wager. I'll buy your copy next year if you don't. You have my word.
I'm not new to baseball or The Show. I usually play All Star or HoF, depending on sliders and what I feel is a better simulation style. That's why I find this quite a struggle. As I said...I get presents gift wrapped just screaming to be hit, and my PCI is a huge green monster and timing is good. 110 MPH whistling right into the second baseman's glove, etc.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, just because I figured I have tried everything...why not. At the risk of allowing the placebo effect to really persuade me - I honestly think it may have done something. I absolutley know that it is almost impossible, but I just played a game starting at beginner/dynamic difficulty and I got 18 hits. All kinds of home runs and doubles, etc. It bumped me to veteran. Hopefully I am cured.
I'm not looking to tear the cover off every pitch. I'd like to get more than a run and maybe 4-5 hits (on a good day) a game when I am seeing beach balls at the plate.
