Sick of HR's

Re: Sick of HR's

I've come to terms with my slugging Yelich, Billy Hamilton the 20 HR threat, and ground ball hitting Chris Davis.

As long as it's "close enough" and the ratings are expressing differences in player profiles/skills/abilities, I'm cool with it. After that, I'll just chalk it up to "that's MLB15".

Same Here. I use a set that is based on A&S just with the base stealing turned down to zero as it is way too easy to steal IMHO. but anyways 2024 of a pirates franchise .. Ben Freakin Revere hitting 3rd on a team ( I forget which one)with 32 hr's at the end of the season because he had 99 contact on both lefty's and righty's ..lol

Well I had Fielder speed at 3 and Fielder Reaction at 4. I moved Fielder Speed to 2 and I am not seeing anywhere near the HR per game I was. Wierd I think.... Im not sure what a fielders speed has to do with HR's, but it must be something in the slider between Reaction and Speed is my only guess. Ive gone from 3 - 5 a game to 0 - 2 (2 games had 4) per game total. That is through 20 games since the change. It even brought my XBH's up a little. It is now a nice mix. Im enjoyin my 2 team franchise and now enjoying it even more. It doesnt feel like a race between HR's and games started for my pitchers lol.

Re: Sick of HR's

I play using Psychobulks sliders with tweaks. I use zone hitting and pulse pitching. I transferred my Show 14 chise which I used Mizzou's rosters and I'm not seeing any crazy HR numbers. Power hitters are hitting HRs but contact hitters for instance Billy Hamilton has 10 hrs through 128 games. Just gotta fine the sweet spot for how you play but I believe pretty realistic numbers can be achieved. I'm the Tigers and my top guys are Miggy, Vmart, Kinsler, Cespedes. All have at least 20 HRs but Miggy is leading team with 28. Leading the Majors is Cruz with 43.
