This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Here's it is:
Ball Speed = Real Speed (for PYS 3 try Middle +)
StrikeZone = OFF
(I cannot stress enough to cancel the strikezone when your pitching. If you like batting with the strikezone then keep it on, but when your pitching turn it OFF. Why? Because it will make you walk more batters and the CPU batters will swing out of the strikezone more, ever since I turned the strikezone off when pitching the CPU batters are swinging a very low balls and out of the box A LOT.)
Movement = DIGITAL
(this is only for veterans or players who are looking for a challenge. Digital is FANTASTIC when pitching because you don't have 100% control over where your pitches are going, especially if your pitcher's windup is fast. Analog gave you too much control to spot the corners, which made the CPU get used to your technique and hit you hard. With DIGITAL, spotting the corners is more difficult which also makes it difficult for the CPU to time your technique. Also, if your striking out 12 batters everytime, DIGITAL will actually lower the numbers to a realistic 3-6 strikeouts per game and leave the high numbers to the Ace.)
Difficulty = Perfect
(Spirits balance favors too much on the CPU and Hard is too easy. Perfect seems to have the right blend of balance. If Perfect is too hard for you than go to Hard.)
Bat Cursor= LOCK-ON or Normal
I prefer LOCK-ON but Normal is also good also. DIGITAL with LOCK-ON or Normal will make you see your HR and Hits drop to realistic numbers. After I changed my settings, I average 1-3 HRs every game rather than 5-8 that I was producing before.
Pitch Style = Direct
You could use Auto and pitch just like Pawapuro but I think PYS pitching style gives the player the ability to make mistakes themselves rather than pick a pitch and throw.
Ball type= Heavy
First thing to buy out of the VP shop is the Heavy ball. The Heavy ball produces the most Bloops, choopers, infield hits, etc more than the rest. Don't even bother to buy the other ball types. Heavy ball all the way.
So to sum things up:
Ball speed = Real Speed
Strikezone= off
movement= DIGITAL
Cursor = LOCK-ON or Normal
Ball Type = Heavy Ball
Pitch style = Direct
Any feedback would be nice
