Eye hand and brain must not be what it use to be

I'm almost a 1/2 Centuary old. Last year, I enjoyed MVP Baseball 2004
game. Except I had to adjust the gameplay settings to slow the baseball
speed way down, so I could tell if it was going to be a strike, had to crank
power and contact up, and several other settings. After tweaking the game,
I could hit several homeruns in a 9 inning game. Although I still had to
focus on the screen with a twitchy finger, trying to determine if Randy
Johnsons pitch was going to be a ball or strike.

Last week I got MVP Baseball 2005. But winter must have taken a toll on
me. Cause even after adjusting most of the gameplay settings, I'm lucky if
I hit 1 homer a game. And that's with 5 long ball hitters on my team!

I don't mind that EA Sports has a Pro level that I can't play at. But even
on easy, I'm barely getting by. Any of you other old timers struggling
with this sim? Or is it time to hang up the spikes and gamepad?

I would say so grandpa!!!!
