Challenge of the week

[darkblue1876_PSN]

Is it just me or have they seriously ramped up the difficulty on the hitting? I know I suck at it, but right when I started getting decent at it suddenly the pitches became significantly more difficult to hit, with much more movement and speed. And that starts at the first pitch, and not when your meter moves from rookie to veteran and so on after you get the three hits per strike.

I know it may sound like I am wanking, but I have also noticed the top scores drop down from 1 or two million to 200-500 K. That's a serious overall point reduction across the board.
