i have tried default sliders,there not bad but there not for me,pitching is to easy and i only play on HOF level,also i dont get my pitchcounts every game and the cpu dont hit enough, if u want a good game of baseball with challenging gameplay, try carew sliders version 2,but change the human hitting sliders to version 1, also play in the catchers view for batting and pitching, i will endorse Carew sliders to anyone, he has a great set,u will use ur whole roster for almost every game u play, thats how challenging Carews sliders are,losing never felt so fun ,Thanks carew !!!!................Nasa
