Classic pitching, 0-2 pitching

[carefreedvp]

I've been loving this game but the last two weeks, since the patch, it seems my pitchers' control has been off. Good pitchers (Strasburg, Zimmermann, Fister) missing incredibly far from their intended spots. 0-2 counts been the roughest as I never aim a pitch in the zone on that count, yet they're grooved and smashed like it's a 2-0 count.

The taking of pitches a millimeter out of the zone by the CPU has been an issue too, even on 0-2 counts by guys like Carlos Gomez and Mark Reynolds who swing at anything.

Anyone experiencing anything similar? I play on All-Star for both sides of the ball with minimal changes to sliders. I use classic pitching because I want the pitchers' ratings to dictate how well he does, not messing up pushing a button or the sticks.

What I've loved about this game is that it does not have that EA glitch feel, but this is getting annoying.

Re: Classic pitching, 0-2 pitching

I've seen the same thing. Pitches are way off the mark sometimes. I've had pitches that I aimed way, way off the plate go right down the middle. Although for me it's not like every pitch or even every batter, but I do see it.

As far as the AI taking pitches, that hasn't been an issue for me. No matter what the count is, I don't notice anything different. Sometimes the take one that just misses and other times they chase one way off the plate.
