I know I'm responding to an old posting, but I was in the same boat. I was moving up from PRO, but I was getting too many cpu HR's being hit (and not enough by me) no matter what the settings on contact/power. I recently reduced all teams contact by 20 (pitchers by 10) using mvpedit. I like the new feel, but now I'm not getting enough human HR's, but the games are usually a good battle. Believe it or not (on All Star) even with cpu contact/power at -50 and the contact #'s reduced by 20, the cpu still jax them out. I think, for me, I'm onto something with the reduced contact numbers, but maybe I need to change them to -10 globally (and maybe -15 for pitchers or go with a percentage reduction instead.... no way I should get 2 hits in the same game with Blanton against Sheets, lol).
