I decided to work the program backwards.
I took on the HOF games first sincE I had more time over the weekend.
The games were fun and sometimes challenging. Newhouser gave me fits, it seemed like his fastball had some extra "giddy up" on them.For those of you that have done the HOF challenges who were the toughest hitters you faced?
Mine were:- Gary Carter - Gave me fits, actually tied up a game for the NL East when I missed my spot on a Wagner slider. Besides that he was always getting on.
- Vlad - everything he hit was hard.
- The opposing starting pitcher - anyone of them- sometimes it seemed like the opposing pitcher was the other teams best hitter. I even had Newhouser hit a game winning single off Gagne in the NL Central game.
#3 is how I knew how the game was going to go. Still in the game in the sixth inning with me up by a run the NL West kept Dustin May in the game to hit. It didn't make any sense. Then he hit a dinger down the line and I realized that I was the stupid one. If I was having success getting the pitchers to miss then I would win.
I'm going to test this more now. Vs the nl east I knocked out Smoltz after going up 6-0 in the 1st. Just finished the 3rd and Nolan Ryan gets a very early standing double and then it's back to back hrs after. So let's see if I can finish this with 3 to go
-
Ortiz - hits everything I throw for a homerun.
Walker - something about his swing he can reach pitches others can't so I really have to think when he's up. -

Won it 7-5. The cool thing about being the away team is that you can easily restart if you don't score in the 1st

I had the same problems with Hal last night while finishing up the HOF ones. Finally won 1-0.

I did the exact same thing. Normally, I start at the beginning and work to the end. In this case, it made more sense to me to start on the hard stuff and work backwards.
That said... VLAD. I threw one pitch 6 inches over the top of the strike zone and he blasted it out. Also, I couldn't strike out an opposing pitcher. But... I did have a 2-run double with Catfish.

Dante Bichette killed me with a couple of dongs on sinkers low and inside.
Greg Effing Maddux almost went yard on me too.
Maddux took me yard. Needless to say, that game got restarted.

I gave up a 2 run 2B to him on a 99mph fastball in on the hands. I dont know where they came up with the idea to make CPU pitchers overpowered as hitters, but it is pretty stupid.

Not sure how these were so difficult for so many people. I finished the program in 2 days and won every game without incident first time. Even the HOF 6 inning games and all time squad 9 inning game were a breeze. I think I won the 9 inning game 8-3 and was down 3-0 after the first. It was tied by the 3rd and put out of reach in the 6th with a four run inning. After that it was AS games against barely serviceable rosters when you compare them to DD squad that was being run out there. I can’t even remember a divisional team that scored more than 1 run and that run usually happened in the 3rd. Although I did have 2 go to extras. Just saying
-
Musial homered top 1, so I restarted; he homered again top 1, so I restarted again; and intentionally walked him the 3rd time.
-
Vlad hit me hard everytime...
-
I cannot get Ryne Sandberg out to save my life... and Gary Carter's been a tough one too.
-
Stan Musial. He hit everything hard. I don’t think I got him out once
-
Even thought he didn't get many hits off of me, I felt like the Val Sr - 99 made a lot of loud contact of me.
-
It has a lot to do with pitching attributes IMO. I used 99 Ryan and they couldn’t touch him with the insane 9s he has.
Unlocked Seaver, put him in, and it was a mess. The whole dodgers crew was tough for him to get out.

I had to switch to Nolan for the AL Central and AL West HOF moments. Kluber just wasn't getting it done.

I used Paxton for the HOF games. I threw nothing but Fastballs, Cutters and Curve balls. I used the Sinker rarely and I NEVER threw a change up.
As far as relievers go, I used hard throwers exclusively. Wagner, Britton and Betances.
Dont worry about matchups unless there are 2 outs since the line ups do a great job alternating L - R (with a few exceptions) -
No position players have given me trouble but the pitchers have given me fits. Gave up doubles to Price and Maddux just today.
-
I also worked it backwards and finished all the HoF games and the toughest hitters were no one lol. The CPU cannot hit. What was that 9 games with 7 Shut outs and 2 runs allowed 1 game and 1 in another. Nolan Ryan and Hal were my main SP's. Rollie, Gagne and Wagner were main relievers.
-
I am hitting better in these HOF games. Gonna beat the AL West before bed and unlock Seaver. As far as hitters giving me fits, Stan Musial smashed everything when I faced him, hit a homer and had a couple lazer singles.
