What do you play on and what are your thoughts on it?

I currently play on Hall of Fame for both pitching and batting. I am starting to get to the point where i accumulate too many hits for my liking in games. I would like to have some games where i can only muster 2 hits against a top pitcher. For anyone who has moved up to legend, how has your experience been over a period of 10 or more games?

Go right ahead and move up to legend u will be fine. I have almost zeroed out legend sliders and hit over .300 its pitching that I continue to struggle with. I use classic and am all the way down to all star cuz I use classic and its so erratic

I play on Rookie level for hitting as I am not dextrous enough to control the left stick, pick up where the pitch is and what it is, and then swing properly. Just using Rookie mode I'm able to just worry about the timing which works fine for me. For pitching, I use All-Star level as I like how it makes you mix up your pitches and actually "pitch" a ball game.

How does classic differ? I have found HoF pitching on default to be perfect.

Um, total shot to my pride, but after 20 games or so on All Star I'm moving to Veteran, at least for hitting. I like to play the game clean, with no aids or cues, and I can't for the life of me keep from striking out 10 times a game.

Pitching I can get a decent variety on All Star.

Legend, Legend, Wide, Outfield, GP-off, PCI-off, SZ-off

I guarantee you could all hack it on Legend after a bit if you wanted to. I like realism, and realistically, baseball is not easy.

To each his own, though. I can totally understand wanting to spend your gametime mashing & striking out the side.

I just switched to classic pitching because I like the idea of having the pitcher attributes mean something, and not have to keep staring at that meter all game long.

But my god is it hard. I cannot for the life me figure it out. I like the fact that the pitch counts are more realistic, but my god I cannot paint the corner to save my life. It is either ball ,or meatball, and thus hammered.

I just stink at pitching I guess...
