Advice For All-Timers Program!

Take lots of pitches. As an example, in the final NL game against Maddux I walked 13 times in 5 innings (I was up by 8 and bunted in the 6th). In the AL game against Scott (I cannot hit his splitter on HoF), I walked 9 times and won 6-0. The CPU simply has awful control on HoF.

anyone want to come help me with Seaver? I got the hall of fame games only left and can’t seem to win

1. Take pitches. The pitchers in those moments throw wild.
2. High contact, high speed lineup. Many people bunt cheesed through them. I did not, but I did use a very fast, very contact centered lineup.
3. Control pitching > Fireballers. And adding to that, keep the CPU batters on a rocking horse. High heat, low off-speed. Repeat. I also suggest never bringing Chapman, Dibble, Wagner, or anyone else like that out of the pen. Everytime I did, I'd give up HR after HR.

This is solid advice. I would also say to make sure you have a good defensive squad, because you’re not going to strike the CPU out constantly. Guys like Mattingly and Jimmy Rollins came up huge for me, both at the plate and in the field. For pitching, I did really well with Mike Scott. Those sinkers really kept the ball in the yard.

Awful control? Tell me about it, I got hit twice the last game, and even walked with guys I don't usually walk with.
