I recently switched to Classic Hitting because I like the idea of timing mattering the most like real hitting. I don't like having to use a power swing, contact swing, or defense swing. Whenever I play(ed) baseball in real life, I don't go up to the plate and "power swing". I go up there and swing nearly the same every time. The only difference between a few of my HR shots and my ground balls to short stop were how I got the bat on the ball, not because I swung for power on the HRs and contact on the ground balls.

With Classic Hitting a guy with tons of power like Uggla will have a higher chance of hitting a HR like real life, but my guys like Prado and McClouth are still going to get HRs now if I hit it right, something that never happened with me even power swinging.

Anyways, slider talk... I only have my power at 65 and contact at 35 and I am seeing my players hitting shots. I'm not hitting 5 HRs a game, but I am seeing results that I am really liking. With lower power, but a lower pitch effectiveness from the CPU I am seeing a lot more realistic results in the hitting game. I actually hit two HRs in a game against the Padres and still only had 10 hits. In all my other games with different sliders, any multi-HR game I had usually average 15+ hits a game. Usually any HR game resulted in 10+ hits, but now I am seeing 7 hit games with HRs still.
