It happens occasionally, but not to where I feel it's a problem yet. I don't usually get high strikeout number anyway, normally 5-6 a game combined between my starters and bullpen.

I have played enough games now to comment in regards to CPU homeruns. I use Pared's Version 1.0 slider set with some minor adjustments. The issue here could be the All Star difficulty level (I believe this boosts the attributes for each player, thus causing some unrealistic power ratings), so getting this particular slider resolved is paramount to any other slider at this point.

Even with CPU Power/Contact sliders at 0, there are hitters that would not be considered power hitters in anyway hitting 430 ft HR's on balls either out of the strike zone, or in their "cold" zone.

Having said that, I don't feel it's a contact slider issue, but rather solely the power slider. I have seen numerous posts in regards to adjusting the CPU Power slider, but seems as though nothing has really helped.

If we can resolve this issue amongst all of us who read, or post in this thread, I think we will have the slider set locked down.

I am going to set the CPU Power slider to -50 and throw fastballs right down the middle of the plate, or directly to the particular hitters hot zone and adjust this slider until I get it right.

It would be appreciated if others can do the same, and report on any findings.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to make your pitchers taje longer to warm up? they warm up WAY to fast.

no, those are not the sliders he is playing with. he said he has the power and contant for cpu and human different, i also wanted to know what his slider for the CPU taking pitches is at. btw, this question is directed at pared.

[rmbirney]

yea, chaos, i thought he changed em, but i wanted to make sure, and people are still complaining about pitcher stamina, i just wanted to know if pared was goign to change anything. actually, i think its ok, i pitched ~ 110 pitches with chris carpenter through 7 innings. i had about 32 stamina. also what really helps are timely visits to the mound, they can get you through the game. if you pitch a shutout, or a CG, you will probably need at least 3 positive mound visits.
