Final HOF sliders.

[highheatkingsb]

Well, I've began my franchise. Thanks to everyone for their imput and slider suggestions. You guys that take the time to do these, make these games what they are. Mostly come from Pared/Joe's tweaks and a little adjustment on my own. Props to all of you. Here are the sliders I've started with and am going with for the long run.

All auto off, strike zones, hot/cold zones off, Guess Pitch off, etc...
Settings for both HMN/CPU

Pitch Count: Maxed
Pitch Speed: +2
Contacts: 0
Power: -1
Arm Stregth: -3
Arm Accuracy: -3
Errors: +3
CPU Aggresion Run: Maxed

Everything else is default.

I did have a major glitch after my second game, I've posted it on the regular board. It was a very weird situation, but didn't effect my record or stats. If anyone tries these, let me know how you guys are doing.

Is that contact at 0, or 0 change from default?

[NoSkillz50]

Re: Final HOF sliders.

Since he says everything ELSE is default I'm assuming that contact isn't.

[highheatkingsb]

Re: Final HOF sliders.

Yeah, contact is at 0, it allows for more hit variety, choppers, bloopers, etc...

Good to hear. Does this also result in fewer hits? I'm new to the MLB series and am already getting too many on HOF level (with the Pirates). I think raising the pitch speed will obviously result in fewer hits for me as well.

Raising the pitch speed helps, but I also use the Orioles, that helps as well. LOL!!! I use the power swing regardless if I only have 0 or 1 strikes on me, then go to the contact swing with 2 strikes.

Will your sliders workj with CPU vs CPU game?

Re: Final HOF sliders.

do you use the pitch placement dot , i forget the technical name for it , also would these sliders work well on all-star , isnt that the level right below HOF

Re: Final HOF sliders.

I was starting to own on all-star and I was looking for some HOF sliders, I'll give these a try, thanks>

Yeah, I use the ball cursor. I have a hard enough time pitching with it, couldn't imagine not using it.

As far as CPU -vs- CPU games, I've never tried. Would be great to sit and watch one though, I'll have to try it.

Updates for you guys to try:

I lowered the arm strength to -2
I lowered the arm accuracy to -4

Everything else is the same. Been getting some errors now and then.

Re: Final HOF sliders.

Okay, I think I'm going to have to bump this up slowly, b/c I struck out 26 times last night using this. And why do some consider the guess function unrealistic?

[Village Idiot]

Re: Final HOF sliders.

I'm going to use these. I'll report back later tonight.

As a sidenote:

All auto off, strike zones, hot/cold zones off, Guess Pitch off, etc...

I also turn off Pitch Callout. Not sure if that's included in your 'etc.', but it seems like something most people wouldn't turn off.

What is pitch callout?

[Village Idiot]

Re: Final HOF sliders.

Pitch Callout is the set of graphics that appear after each pitch: it's the strike zone, the pitch's location, and the speed of the pitch.

Anyways, I played a game with these (lost 7-4), and they're fine. Frankly, I'm starting to think this game is pretty solid - that is, I almost always get good games, no matter what my sliders are set at. Problems I have with the game seem more inherent than slider-related.
