    Re: The Dynamic Difficulty Discussion Thread

    Alright, fellas, big stats update. I'm 25 games in, in the final week of Spring Training. You know the settings: DD, QC, Classic Pitching, Timing Hitting, Default Sliders, except Pitch Speed 0 and Starter Stamina 6. I played all games in full.

    I'm OAK, so I play for OBP and emphasize quality pitching, as best I can.

    Hitting Difficulty: Rookie, with fluctuations up to All Star
    Pitching Difficulty: All Star, with fluctuations down to Rookie + levels of progress

    Record: 12-13

    I feel like we pitched well, and some of the larger ERAs came from keeping guys in too long before I made a stamina slider adjustment. Still, I'm solid in the rotation and pen; I have some really tough decisions to make in the pen at a couple of spots.

    Lineup:

    Crisp: 20 G, 61 AB, .230 AVG, 1 HR, 6 RBI, .277 OBP, .344 SLG, 4 BB, 12 K
    Donaldson: 20 G, 53 AB, .170 AVG, 5 HR, 7 RBI, .313 OBP, .491 SLG, 11 BB, 11K
    Lowrie: 20 G, 50 AB, .288 AVG, 4 HR, 10 RBI, .362 OBP, .542 SLG, 8 BB, 9 K
    Cespedes: 22 G, 59 AB, .237 AVG, 3 HR, 9 RBI, .328 OBP, .441 SLG, 8 BB, 19K
    Moss: 21 G, 51 AB, .196 AVG, 4 HR, 8 RBI, .293 OBP, .471 SLG, 7 BB, 17 K
    Reddick: 20 G, 52 AB, .346 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .424 OBP, .519 SLG, 7 BB, 13 K
    Frieman: 18 G, 54 AB, .296 AVG, 3 HR, 6 RBI, .424 OBP, .481 SLG, 11 BB, 21K
    Jaso: 16 G, 38 AB, .308 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .325 OBP, .462 SLG, 1 BB, 9 K
    Sogard: 20 G, 48 AB, .229 AVG, 0 HR, 3 RBI, .302 OBP, .271 SLG, 5 BB, 9 K

    Bench:
    Norris: 18 G, 41 AB, .268 AVG, 3 HR, 10 RBI, .302 OBP, .537 SLG, 2 BB, 12 K
    Callaspo: 18 G, 49 AB, .245 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .296 OBP, .388 SLG, 4 BB, 10 K
    Punto: 23 G, 36 AB, .222 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .282 OBP, .222 SLG, 3 BB, 6 K
    Gentry: 21 G, 52 AB, .250 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, .344 OBP, .250 SLG, 8 BB, 6 K
    Vogt: 8 G, 14 AB, .214 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .267 OBP, .214 SLG, 1 BB, 5 K
    Barton: 22 G, 46 AB, .174 AVG, 2 HR, 5 RBI, .240 OBP, 326 SLG, 3 BB, 10 K
    Fuld: 23 G, 42 AB, .214 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .313 OBP, .262 SLG, 6 BB, 8 K
    Gimenez: 9 G, 12 AB, .167 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .231 OBP, .417 SLG, 1 BB, 6 K
    Peterson: 15 G, 27 AB, .148 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .179 OBP, .296 SLG, 1 BB, 10 K
    Haas: 7 G, 14 AB, .357 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .400 OBP, .643 SLG, 1 BB, 2 K
    Parrino: 14 G, 26 AB, .077 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, .111 OBP, .192 SLG, 1 BB, 6 K

    As you can see, I K a lot, mostly because I go down looking on borderline pitches with 2 strikes in search of walks. I'm going to have to adjust. I also just have lots of borderline starters in the lineup, and I'm a bit worried. If Crisp, Donaldson and Moss don't pick it up, I'm toast. Gentry played his role well, as did Callaspo and Norris, but the other two spots, which look like they may go to Barton and Fuld, aren't inspiring confidence.

    The takeaway:

    Please feel free to weigh in/critique the results. I'm an average player at best and am learning as a baseball fan, so I don't know as well as many of you which stats are good and which are off. I included as many relevant stats as I could imagine would be useful, but I can add a few more if there are critical ones that are in question.

    I hope this offers a useful picture of how the mode can work, given how I play, my team, etc. I feel like every game is unique, and clearly I'm getting competitive play. I just need more consistency at the plate.

    Fire away!

      Which actually has me thinking, the guide flat says OPS determines level but I just assumed that was offense. Is that true for your pitching level too? Opposing team OPS?

        Help me out--what's SNIP?

        I can look up opponents' OPS when I fire it up tomorrow if that will help.

            Re: The Dynamic Difficulty Discussion Thread

            Ok Guys ... Looking for a little feedback here ...

            Test Franchise w/ the Blue Jays (who I know nothing about being a Braves fan), and DD is working beautifully for me ... 6-6 through the 1st 12 games of the regular season ...

            I have progressed to Veteran+ on both hitting and pitching. I expect to stay there with maybe a jump to All-Star, but I have always been a little under .500 playing on all-star since I started playing the show in '10. I think veteran+ is a good place for me.

            All sliders are in their original place, and my only concern is my teams HR numbers. Through 12 games, I have 21 dingers. All of this damage is without Joey Bats, who was sidelined 4 weeks with a concussion on opening day (LOL). I use timing hitting, and always swing with X.

            Anyway, I am continuing to see how it plays out, but does any1 see this as out of place. To me, that's far to many big fly's. Seems 90% of my runs are via the home-run. Any1 else seeing this? I want sliders adjusting to be a LAST RESORT.
            Thanks!

                Re: The Dynamic Difficulty Discussion Thread

                quick question about DD pitching. when you achieve allstar level pitching does the catcher suggestions go away? (it's default off on AllStar and above)
                ....i know i know I cant think of the proper term for that and I'm too lazy to turn on my ps3.

                love this game playing a fake dynasty spring training trying to stabilize my DD levels. Veteran on both so far.

                  Re: The Dynamic Difficulty Discussion Thread

                  I seem to be really in between legend and rookie, some games ive been real bad at hitting and seen it drop to to rookie. the problem then is next game I go crazy with scoring.. I think once it's balanced it will eventully sit between what it should be for good

                    You can turn API off right from the start, you do not have to wait until you get to a certain difficulty. It should be under the advanced settings for pitching.

                      Re: The Dynamic Difficulty Discussion Thread

                      I am so torn now. I want to use DD, but since it will never carry over with me to the PS4 version, I almost feel like it will be a waste of a time. Then again, the season is long, so what if I get 20 games in and have to start over in my franchise, 20 more games and I am not even halfway through my season.

                      I might just go with Armor&Swords sliders like I always do and call it a day.

                      I dunno too much!

                        How 'bout this:

                        http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/OAK/2013.shtml

                        At first glance, it looked to me like your pitching was slightly better than it should be, while the hitting was slightly worse...

                        I did a quick compare (BA / ERA) with the reference provided and it looks like that's the case...

                        But only SLIGHTLY...

                        It's really darn close to IRL, which by gaming standards is SUPER close...

                        Nice!

                          If anyone was wondering, I was never able to get DD to stick for TSL, but it has been working fine in regular exhibition games.

                          Just as a precaution, it might not be a bad idea to for DD users to steer clear of TSL until they get some of the kinks worked out.

                            I feel like we pitched well, and some of the larger ERAs came from keeping guys in too long before I made a stamina slider adjustment. Still, I'm solid in the rotation and pen; I have some really tough decisions to make in the pen at a couple of spots.

                            Lineup:

                            Crisp: 20 G, 61 AB, .230 AVG, 1 HR, 6 RBI, .277 OBP, .344 SLG, 4 BB, 12 K
                            Donaldson: 20 G, 53 AB, .170 AVG, 5 HR, 7 RBI, .313 OBP, .491 SLG, 11 BB, 11K
                            Lowrie: 20 G, 50 AB, .288 AVG, 4 HR, 10 RBI, .362 OBP, .542 SLG, 8 BB, 9 K
                            Cespedes: 22 G, 59 AB, .237 AVG, 3 HR, 9 RBI, .328 OBP, .441 SLG, 8 BB, 19K
                            Moss: 21 G, 51 AB, .196 AVG, 4 HR, 8 RBI, .293 OBP, .471 SLG, 7 BB, 17 K
                            Reddick: 20 G, 52 AB, .346 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .424 OBP, .519 SLG, 7 BB, 13 K
                            Frieman: 18 G, 54 AB, .296 AVG, 3 HR, 6 RBI, .424 OBP, .481 SLG, 11 BB, 21K
                            Jaso: 16 G, 38 AB, .308 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .325 OBP, .462 SLG, 1 BB, 9 K
                            Sogard: 20 G, 48 AB, .229 AVG, 0 HR, 3 RBI, .302 OBP, .271 SLG, 5 BB, 9 K

                            Bench:
                            Norris: 18 G, 41 AB, .268 AVG, 3 HR, 10 RBI, .302 OBP, .537 SLG, 2 BB, 12 K
                            Callaspo: 18 G, 49 AB, .245 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .296 OBP, .388 SLG, 4 BB, 10 K
                            Punto: 23 G, 36 AB, .222 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .282 OBP, .222 SLG, 3 BB, 6 K
                            Gentry: 21 G, 52 AB, .250 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, .344 OBP, .250 SLG, 8 BB, 6 K
                            Vogt: 8 G, 14 AB, .214 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .267 OBP, .214 SLG, 1 BB, 5 K
                            Barton: 22 G, 46 AB, .174 AVG, 2 HR, 5 RBI, .240 OBP, 326 SLG, 3 BB, 10 K
                            Fuld: 23 G, 42 AB, .214 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .313 OBP, .262 SLG, 6 BB, 8 K
                            Gimenez: 9 G, 12 AB, .167 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .231 OBP, .417 SLG, 1 BB, 6 K
                            Peterson: 15 G, 27 AB, .148 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .179 OBP, .296 SLG, 1 BB, 10 K
                            Haas: 7 G, 14 AB, .357 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .400 OBP, .643 SLG, 1 BB, 2 K
                            Parrino: 14 G, 26 AB, .077 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, .111 OBP, .192 SLG, 1 BB, 6 K

                            As you can see, I K a lot, mostly because I go down looking on borderline pitches with 2 strikes in search of walks. I'm going to have to adjust. I also just have lots of borderline starters in the lineup, and I'm a bit worried. If Crisp, Donaldson and Moss don't pick it up, I'm toast. Gentry played his role well, as did Callaspo and Norris, but the other two spots, which look like they may go to Barton and Fuld, aren't inspiring confidence.

                            The takeaway:

                            Please feel free to weigh in/critique the results. I'm an average player at best and am learning as a baseball fan, so I don't know as well as many of you which stats are good and which are off. I included as many relevant stats as I could imagine would be useful, but I can add a few more if there are critical ones that are in question.

                            I hope this offers a useful picture of how the mode can work, given how I play, my team, etc. I feel like every game is unique, and clearly I'm getting competitive play. I just need more consistency at the plate.

                            Fire away!
                            Everything looks phenomenal! And where it doesn't, you seems to know exactly how to adjust and what you need to improve on! Thanks for sharing!

                              Test Franchise w/ the Blue Jays (who I know nothing about being a Braves fan), and DD is working beautifully for me ... 6-6 through the 1st 12 games of the regular season ...

                              I have progressed to Veteran+ on both hitting and pitching. I expect to stay there with maybe a jump to All-Star, but I have always been a little under .500 playing on all-star since I started playing the show in '10. I think veteran+ is a good place for me.

                              All sliders are in their original place, and my only concern is my teams HR numbers. Through 12 games, I have 21 dingers. All of this damage is without Joey Bats, who was sidelined 4 weeks with a concussion on opening day (LOL). I use timing hitting, and always swing with X.

                              Anyway, I am continuing to see how it plays out, but does any1 see this as out of place. To me, that's far to many big fly's. Seems 90% of my runs are via the home-run. Any1 else seeing this? I want sliders adjusting to be a LAST RESORT.
                              Thanks!
                              The Blue Jays are one of the best HR hitting teams in baseball. Jose Bautista is one of the best home run hitters of our generation.

                              Long story short, a stretch of two dingers a game with TOR is MORE than acceptable and realistic.

                              That said, HR's really inflate OPS so if it gets out of whack, DD will promote you.

Then again, the season is long, so what if I get 20 games in and have to start over in my franchise, 20 more games and I am not even halfway through my season.

                                I might just go with Armor&Swords sliders like I always do and call it a day.

                                I dunno too much!
                                I plan on transferring my Franchise, and spending a day killing AA teams with the Yanks. Should be back up to All-Star within a day.
