This seems like a dumb question, but hear me out. It appears that when you choose Novice difficulty, you can choose the difficulty of the CPU batting, pitching, etc., with the range from novice to Powerful. Which would be more difficult, the Expert Difficulty with everything on normal, or Novice with Powerful batting, pitching, etc.?

I'm going to go with Novice/all-Powerful.

It's quite obviously the right choice, at least for me.

Why is it "quite obviously the right choice"?

Are you saying it's wrong to talk to a bag of Skittles? Because if so, I'm going to need to rethink a lot of things. :P

Because the actual GAME difficulty is Powerful.

I think the "Expert" difficulty just makes it harder.

Or something.

No... the GAME difficulty would be Novice and the CPU pitching, hitting, etc. are all set to Powerful.

How bout Expert with everything normal or Normal with everything powerful?

I think expert (game difficulty not CPU level) does not actually increase difficulty, it just reduces the help the interface provides on normal (ie: strike-zone, pitch marker, ...)

What do the majority of forum posters play on. Personally found normal-normal (game - CPU level) a bit too easy, so i tried normal-all expert and lost to a go-ahead HR in 9th inning but i like it since its definitely is more challenging especially for pitching

PS: Just noticed this was posted in MLB life section, while my experience was in season mode my apology
