1) Overall Difficulty -
I think initially the game is quite difficult but if you spend the time you can greatly improve at this game. The recognition of the pitches when batting i personally think is the hardest part. Especially, low change ups and sliders.

2) Game Log -
I do not use the game log.

3) Strategy Guide -
Have you used the in-game Strategy Guide? I do not use this.

4) Pitcher Batter Analysis -
Would you like more than the last 25 pitches drawn? I would like to see more than 25 pitches drawn. I would like to see a few options. 25 pitches. All for a pitcher and then total for all pitchers.

5) Pitching Interfaces - I used Pulse the most. Then Classic. Meter i just found too easy. On the Interfaces, maybe a different color for the pulse. I use broadcast and the pulses can be hard to read with the white at certain angles. Maybe an option of Red, Black, etc.

6) Classic Pitching - Do you like using classic pitching, even occasionally or in the past? I use it from time to time. I am fine with the current system but i do like the example you posted.

7) Hitting Modes - Which hitting mode do you prefer? I use timing and sometimes zone.

8) Stealing Balance - Do you play 2P offline/online? I play single player. I am fine with the stealing balance but i only play single player games.

9) Guess Pitch Modes - Which guess pitch mode do you prefer? I do not use guess pitch.

10) Pitch Speed and Ball/Strike – On All-star difficulty, are fastballs too fast or slow? I am having a harder time this year with fastball. I don't know if i am just getting that much slower with reactions or if the speed increased. I think part of the problem is so many change-ups are underrated for speed when you look them up at fangraphs, etc. The disparity of the speeds makes it even harder than it should be.

The ball and strike recognition. I find it difficult to tell a ball and strike on certain pitches- change-up to fastball for example but that is understandable. But my biggest beef is the ability of pitchers to locate pitches so consistently well. Especially, when its a relievers 4th pitch for example and its poorly rated. They seem to pound the bottom of the zone way too often in my opinion. Also, i think the confidences in these pitches improves too quickly. Those two points are likely tied together. I get that if i am struggling with change ups the CPU will throw them. I just would like more wildness when its the pitchers 4th pitch and not rated well, then him pounding the black and the bottom of the strike zone with it because his confidence has grown.
