First game with Power = 2 on both Human+CPU was a positive result. 4 doubles and one wall-scraper HR (Jay Bruce). That's exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see.
Lots more coming - the bigger the sample size on this, the better. And I don't plan on turning this game off anytime soon.
BTW, I'm playing HOF default pitching/batting/fielding except for Power at 2 on user and CPU.
I was the Royals.
OT - I also walked SEVEN times. That's pretty rare even by my standards - I've rarely had trouble drawing at least some walks in this game every year. It's all about the hitting approach and the willingness to take close pitches or ones you can't cover.
