And I haven't stripped the game code down or waterboarded an SCEA employee or anything, so take these with a grain of salt. This is just what I've observed while changing difficulty levels over the years.

This is interesting, thanks Bobhead. Now I have an understanding as to what sliders to alter on HOF making it more like All Star but with cleverer AI pitching.
