I think the secret is establishing it for strikes with out getting the CPU to swing at it. Its seems the CPU will not swing at a low curveball outside the strike zone unless its established for a strike earlier in the count. The problem is if a curveball is in the zone early in the count the CPU seems to always want to swing at it.

If you use full power on a curveball and are throwing it low in the zone you have a better chance of hanging it so back off on the power but if that doesn’t work try full power.

Basically in the game the curveball doesn’t seem to be an effective strikeout pitch compared to the fastball.
