Hey all,
I've been playing MLB 10 The Show for the past 2 years and this is my first upgrade. Boy, am I glad I did! I am posting my sliders below and testing is in its infancy (one game to be exact) but these are a carryover from MLB 10. As far as the pulse pitching, I'm not a fan yet and may never be. The meter really works the same way IMO and the analog stuff is too much of a stretch for this 40-something gamer. I also feel zone hitting is the way to go as it presents some added difficulty. Still tweaking and suggestions are welcome. I lost 4-3 with the Red Sox to the Yankees in my first game. I was outhit 9-7 and each pitcher (Lester and Sabathia) tossed 100 pitches by the end of the 6th inning. The cpu had 66% strikes and I logged 64%. I walked 4 batters and should have drawn 3 walks but swung at a few ball 4 pitches. I hit the only dinger, a 2 run job by my favorite Red Sox Dustin Pedroia. Anyway more results later and here they are. BTW the sliders with the asterisks are the ones I am focusing on at this time. Enjoy!
