Something is seriously wrong here. I can't hit or score runs anymore. My players' batting averages are dropping like rocks falling from the sky. I hope I'm just in a little slump. I'd hate to change the settings I've been using because I've been doing fine with them, and now all of a sudden, I couldn't hit squat. Very frustrating...

Ugh, I'm gonna have to take a break from this for a while. I went on vacation, I came back, and I've basically forgotten how to play on powerful. This always happens any time I take a break from PP. I'm going to have to play a few exhibition games to get back into my groove playing on powerful settings.

It's ok. I still hit on expert

yeah, me too.
