Power since patch

Re: Power since patch

Yup. And then if you start mashing after you change sliders (because you think the gameplay was patched), you don't know whether it's because you're now on one of those natural "upswings" or if it happened because you changed the sliders. Then you adjust down, and possibly go right back to not hitting anything again. Rinse and repeat.

Slider hell in a nutshell. Impossible to have to fun with the game because you perpetually think the gameplay isn't "right". Been there. Not a good place to be.

Yep. That’s why I quit messing with sliders.

Thanks, I’ll give them a try the next time I play.

Re: Power since patch

I personally think the game does a decent job of emulating the ups and downs of a season. I was just bitching to my wife that I found I hit too many HR, then 4 games in a row with no HR, then, boom three in a row with a total of 8. I play pretty much default HOF, i have some hitting numbers at 4 for cpu and player. I think a lot has to do with pitch speed. If you get too comfy, you can torch fastballs. always up pitch speed if you find you are jacking a lot of Pull HR.

Re: Power since patch

Any notice less power since the last patch? I rarely go a game without at least one HR, usually 2 or 3. Since the last patch i haven't hit a ball past an outfielder let alone a hr. It's been 4 games now for me, balls I normally clobber have been pop flys. Anyone else seeing this or is it just they way it is?

Yes. I believe it's been after patch 1.08. I've played 45 games in my season with the same sliders for all 45 games (prior to that patch).....and have now played 25 games after that patch. There is a notable difference in how the ball is being struck.

It is much weaker and lofts more. The ball off the bat just doesn't have the same authority and seems to lack the feeling of velocity after that patch. I've been playing this game for over a decade, so I can judge the differences appropriately.

I had been using my sliders for nearly 50 games prior to that patch and the difference in the feeling of the ball off the bat is so much lesser that it has ruined the game for me. (I have increased solid hits and power for both teams to see if it changes things.....and sadly, it does not).

I feel the cpu offence was nerfed after 1.08.
They are back like previous shows where they don’t generate enough. When the game shipped it was the most challenging cpu I’ve come across for many years on this game.

Re: Power since patch

First game after the patch, franchise game against the Tigers at Oracle. Four home runs: Belt, Yaz, Crawford (2, one in the cove). All-Star with no modified human sliders. Easily won 11-1. So...?

To be fair, the bombs from Yaz and Belt wouldn't have been home runs at Oracle last year.

Re: Power since patch

Whether there are more homeruns or fewer homeruns after whatever patch just came out... why don't you just adjust the sliders to compensate. That is why there are sliders in this game. NO game is perfect .. Just my opinion.

The problem is that slider adjustments tend to require the adjustment of other sliders. That's why I've never gotten into the slider thing. I never know which combination of sliders needs to be adjusted to fix things.

Re: Power since patch

The issue isn't fewer home runs or doubles......it is that the ball coming off the bat has no authority. The feel of the velocity is nerfed. The ball floats more and comes off the bat much weaker.

There are still home runs and still doubles. The number of home runs and doubles is not the issue. It's the ball coming off the bat that feels like it has no zip to it anymore. I have increased power and solid hits to get more authority to the ball coming off the bat and it makes no difference.....the ball simply goes further, but with no added authority coming off the bat.

That's my experience anyway. I've played over 90 games prior to patch 1.08....almost 50 with my final slider set. I've played almost 30 games since the patch and can tell the difference. I've also been playing The Show for over a decade.

I checked these out today. They’re similar to what I’m doing now as well. I have power at 4 just like you. Along with contact and solid hits. I’m interested in your wind slider at zero. I feel like I need to lower this. I blasted 5 HRs in the first inning. The only thing I can say was the wind was blowing out at 7mph

Re: Power since patch

I play on legend with sliders down for user power and contact. I assure you power is not reduced. Here is my last game.

I've played every game and am in mid August. On pace for 345 team homers.

10 total hr in game. 9 from me.

Re: Power since patch

Power, ball off the bat, nothing has changed for me over the last few patches. Plays the same as it did when I first popped the game into the system in March
