I just made it so that I always have solid contact. Pitching I do fine with but when I went with what was out of the box I literally got no-hit twice and almost had a perfect game thrown against me if not for Matt Cain hitting David Murphy.
I don't have any problem with pitching either. I hardly have to make any adjustments on the out of the box settings. It feels perfect to me. I love how you'll get burned if you keep a guy in too long. The game definitely makes you manage a bit to get a win.
