But again, I’m facing the White Sox, Tigers, Mets etc. -Franchise Fidelity to Reality Roster out Now! (MLB 24) -Creator of JWDixon’s Franchise Spreadsheet -More coming soon!

That is a crazy hot streak. You could also test out the version 2 and raise CPU power to 6. The power from 5 to 6 is a big difference. Almost too big. You could also try 7/6/5/5.

For hitting..I'm trying Allstar hitting with 5/3/0/5 and it seems to slow my offense down a little. Hitting is kind of a challenge for me as well. It feels like I am either not hitting at all or hitting the cover off the ball.

But if you want to try legend/legend you can and let us know how it feels. That could be a better option than raising some sliders.

Slider’s are so funny lol.

Hard to ever tell what realistic or not. If Scooter Gennett ever hit 4 HR’s against me I’d throw my Ps out the window.

Sounds good...I'll give it a shot. Granted, 8 of those 15 HRs just came in my last game. Before that I had 7 HRs in 11 games. So maybe I see how the next couple of games go? Maybe I was just seeing Jhony Brito of the Padres REALLY well...haha. I am a very patient hitter (even on quick counts).

It is tough when you get an outlier game like that. When I was doing testing, my first game I had 6 HR. So it took a while for the numbers to even out. You almost have to just disregard that game. LOL

Do you guys use the swing influence often or at all? Trying to get away from just simply pressing X. You wouldn’t think I’d have such a simple question after all these years playing this game lol.

Yeah, no doubt! Since it's a home game I'll just let the crowd enjoy the fireworks they got to see...haha. The game before that I was in LA and beat the Dodgers 3-2 on 3 solo HRs. At least it was low scoring!

I only do it if I'm down in the count and I want to go opposite way. I don't usually go for pull or try to lift the ball for home runs.

I've been using 3k Gaming's hitting guide form Discord. Basically...

For Extreme Pull Hitters I always go for a pull.

For Pull Hitters I go for pull until I get into a 2 strike count then I go for opposite.

For Balanced Hitters I don't use the influence at all on even counts. If I get ahead in the count I go for pull, if I'm behind in the count I go opposite.

I don't have any Push hitters on my team so I don't have the method down for those kinds of hitters. I imagine it's the opposite of Pull and Extreme Pull.

It's crazy how much more hit variety I see using this.
