I think I've seen other people mention it, but g-damn if my guys can't hit the low ball. I started out playing on All-Star, practicing in the practice mode while I waited for rosters and patches. Got *fairly* good at the practice modes. Started a franchise with the Orioles, playing Spring Training, and all of a sudden I can't hit bupkis. Bumped it back to Starter or whatever it is. Still can't buy a game.

I know, I know -- keep with it, keep practicing. But when I have "normal" or "good" timing and the PCI is consistently above where the ball's pitched (usually low in the zone), I start losing hair. I'm not even mentioning the umpteen times where the PCI is *on* the ball with normal-or-better timing and it's a friggin' slow grounder.

If anyone has advice other than "keep practicing, I don't have any trouble with it," I'm all ears. Hell, even if that's all you can give me, it'd help to know that it's just me and my gimpy fingers. But playing against God's Team, the Boston Golden Bat Red Sox, watching them rack up 18 hits and 10 runs while I struggle to get a ball out of the infield? Oof. You can only take so many of those games before you go back to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or somesuch 1st person shooter.
