The more time I spend with V.3, the more I love these pitch edits. The fact that fastballs have so much movement means less hits and less solid contact on default sliders, which translates into more realistic box scores.
I'm also seeing less relentless comebacks, both by me and the CPU, again probably because it's harder to square up on the fastball.
I did give up an 8-4 lead in the ninth vs the Marlins with the Phillies last night (Baez and Madson spoiling 7 innings of 1-run ball from Halladay-yuck!), so that shows that anything can still happen, but overall everything's just felt a lot more balanced.
It's also more challenging, as Knight has said, as it should be facing major league pitchers! The movement on the pitches is sick, so it makes it even more satisfying to make solid contact. I'm K'ing a lot all of a sudden, LOL, so I'll have to adjust.
I just used Lincecum against the Mets and posted a final line of 8.0 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5K's. And it was incredibly fun.
This is really fantastic.
