Need to know once and for all: More CPU walks on HOF?

It's one of those pitches that you cannot command well, but isn't hard enough to control the pitch within the strike zone, and CPU tends to aim knuckler toward the center of strike zone all the time (you can also see this in the API when you let CPU catchers call the game), so the end result is very few walks allowed by knuckleballers.

It's because the knuckleball in this game is tethered to its end point, only varying as much as a fastball would. They basically took a fastball, slowed it down, and randomized its path. There is no break. 2K had a fantastic knuckleball. You never knew where it was going.

2K gets knocked a lot (and somewhat rightfully so, it was a buggy game), but they had stuff 10 years ago that The Show still doesn't have.
