What's your opinion?

Personally I don't expect much argument in saying that the Mach Sox are the most annoying team to face in all of Success mode.

As a pitcher: MOST annoying game ever, when you gain control because of a baserunner allowed, their frequently on second or third, and if on first, there's nobody out. They can easily get infield hits and get on base without a hit, because your fielders are often too stupid or too terrible to get anyone out on a lot of routine plays. You face them early, when your not nearly ready to face a team this good, and you don't have time to get the abilities and stats to counter them. And, has anyone EVER gotten the batter out on a drag bunt? Usually there's not even any point in a throw as their always safe, same thing with steals. Also, I don't know what it is about them, but they seem to be able to get base hits off of almost any pitch, even when it's not close to the strike zone. Their speed usually turns singles to doubles, and doubles to homeruns. If the team was smart enough, they could easily score hundreds of runs in a game. How? Drag bunt X 400 would easily do the trick.

As a hitter: Not as frustrating as a hitter, but the outfielders have a lot of range. Slow throws 91 with a level 3 Slider though.

The Burgers can just keep hitting bloop singles into the outfield. That's pretty annoying, but you're right about the MachSocks.

The Burgers ARE EXTREMLY annoying
They get hit by hit andyou can't jam them and your fielders can't do anything
the mach socks are annoying too,, they bunt and steal and the defense is so bad that they can do that

Strangely enough I've never had even a moment of frustration with the Burgers.

The Burgers can never get jammed and always get hits which is my problem but the Mach Sox always get hits wiith bunts and steals

as a hitter I don't really like the strawberries because they can easily throw you out with their arm strength and Bell always moves the cursor around

Jonathan's is so freaking irritating if your a pitcher. No freaking run support. Hahaha
Mach Socks and Burgers are easy. Mach Socks strikes out alot. Burgers you just need to have a good curve and try to aim for the lower right corner, since most of them are lefties. Anyone else is pretty easy.

For a hitter, it is really easy. Just try to homer every game and you should be fine.

Well its easy for me. Hitters has always been easier than pitchers. I enjoy doing pitchers more though.

Jonathan is EVIL. It's soooooooooo hard to get hits off of him for me. Especially in the first time, when your player isn't that good. :(

easily the mach socks.
those drag bunts suck, big time.
and when you try to get the force at second (you as in CPU), it never or barely works.

put up a poll, btw.

Strawberries for me. The pitcher's cursor moves and his pitches aren't always thorwn to the cursor's location.

Bunts are easy to avoid. When the batter squares around to bunt - and they always do before you throw the pitch - pause/unpause the game. If the batter squares around again, repeat. Eventually he won't square up and you can pitch to him as you normally would. Same as the 4SFB trick for getting nothing but 4SFB's when you are hitting.

Pick off attempts to first/second/third work as well for getting the batter to hit normally.

As for the Burgers, easy for them to ground out a lot, they don't get many hits against me.

Mach Sox are insane.
