you first want to see what your opponent is all about , if he tends to nibble just set the controller down , if he tends to hammer the SZ or not , if he tends to chuck a first pitch strike or not and what that pitch is
this works agaist the CPU as well , you know what pitchers like throwing sliders out , i set the controller down until i get to 2 strikes , sometimes not even then i will see if i get a walk , they dont have walk stats anymore so ,,,,,
