Re: Pared's Gameplay Sliders!

Oh man i think i messed up, lol. i went to check my settings and i thkn i have been playing on all star the past few games when i thought i was on Veteran. no wonder i was striking out so much. any way i changed it to veteran and played a game. i did a lot better my ks went down to 8 (2 were looking) i caught up to the FB and hit a HR! and it was a fastaball! i went to 11 innings and i won too, it was the best game i have played yet. im going to keep trying it like this. here are some notes from the game:

DET(CPU) 4 12 2
PIT (me) 5 8 0

Det had 2 BB, 8K, 1 double, 1 triple, and 2 HRs
Pit had 2 BB, 8K, 2 doubles, and 1 HR

Glad I can help. Let me know how it goes. I am playing some great games as well. I want to play a few more before I post the sliders. I think they may be helpful for those who play on Veteran with weaker teams.

Just played another great game. i won 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th. i am doing a lot better with Ks, only struck out 5 times this game. i am still behind on the fastball though. i batted against Wakefield for 5 innings though. he walked me 5 times. i have never walked that much in one game (knuckleballs though were all over) and paplebon walked me once too. everything seems good i am having a ton of fun. still not seeing homeruns from anyone but my power guys and they havnt hit many. i may bump up to 13 (+3) or even 14(+4) for power. heres my stats form this game:

Bo Sox 4 9 0
Bucs 5 9 0

Sox- 6ks, 1BB, 1 double, one triple, and 1 HR
Bucs-5Ks, 6BB, 2 Doubles, 0 triples, and 0 HRs

Those are very similar to the results I am getting. About 9-12 hits. 2-3 walks and 3-6 K's. The CPU is getting the same results. Some games are close, some are not. I just played a game where Josh Fogg cruised for 2 inning. Got struck for 4 runs in the 3rd and just when I thought he had enough, he settled down and pitched another stellar 3 innings.

Re: Pared's Gameplay Sliders!

Just played a great game, beating the Dodgers at Coors 3-0. Francis pitched a complete game. Here is the box.

Dodgers 0 4 0
Rockies 3 6 0

Francis struck out 2 and walked 3. I struck out 5 times with no walks. I also had a double and 2 Hrs. Francis threw 102 pitches through 9. I used Pared's sliders as a basis with some tweaks. I play on Veteran. I will post them on the Sliders board.

Re: Pared's Gameplay Sliders!

Pared,


i'm really loving the sliders..i just have a couple of questions......


1. i'm not really hitting home runs, should i lower pitch speed a bit..?

2. of's seem to get to the ball a lil to easy.....


i dont want to tweak too much cuz i dont wanna mess up a good thing....i'm just seeing to many close games, which is not bad, but every once in awhile i would like to see a blowout, so i can rest some of my starters and put in subs......overall the sliders are awesome...

Re: Pared's Gameplay Sliders!

Here is some slider feedback after trying them quite a bit over the weekend. The only thing I chaged was putting pitch command at -10 since I use meter pitching, plus bumped errors to +10 for both human and CPU.:

1. Hits were just a little too low... in the 7 games I played the CPU averaged just over 7 hits per game, and I averaged under 7 hits per game. I'll wait before I change anything since about half of my games were played using #1 starters, plus i'm expecting my hitting will improve over time... just wondering if anyone else noticed a slight lack of offense using HOF?

2. I'm seeing too many CPU homeruns... could just be my pitching since I have command so low, but if I had to guess they probably averaged just under 2 Hr's per game against me. This number isn't too bad, but it's just the fact that i'm not giving up a lot of hits, so the % of hits that are Hr's has seemed a little too high for them.

Overall, GREAT job! I had a lot of good games, plus I got smoked twice. I'm hoping once my hitting improves I will get a blowout win... my pitching/defense is decent, but I need to work on my offense. I'm only walking about once per game, but I probably swing at too much outside the zone so I can work on that. Otherwise everything seems great so far... really loving the game this year! Last year no matter what I did the games turned into a hit fest, so i'm enjoying the toned down offense thus far.

Re: Pared's Gameplay Sliders!

I am also getting great results with these sliders. I'm currently 4-5 in my brewcrew franchise. I lowered pitch command because i wasnt walking anyone. I also Lowered errors because through 8 games i had none.

I was struggling to hit my first couple games but i guess i had to just get back into the show mode. I hit .346 in my last series against the marlins with a great comeback win after being down by 5 at the end of the fourth, then coming back to win 7-5.

I'm kind of seeing what you're seeing Chrono. These are great sliders, but the games are pretty much always low scoring and always close. I'm hitting around .260, and my team ERA is under 3. This is after 20+ games in the season. Maybe it's early, but I think I've played enough to see a general trend.

I guess that's the inherent problem with sliders. You alter the game to play a certain way and there ends up being not much variety in the games. It would be great to see a one sided blowout by either team to offer a bit more variety.

Anyone else seeing this?

i'm seeing it as well, this what i posted just above your comments....i'm glad it's not me...cuz i thought it was......

Nope, definitely not just you. I was thinking of putting contact closer to default for user and CPU. Maybe default will offer more game type variety as well.

I also think error sliders should be pretty much maxed out. I've only seen one error in 20 games with these settings.

Re: Pared's Gameplay Sliders!

Thanks for all the feedback! Glad you're enjoying the sliders.

These sliders were intended to get realistic results... the average MLB RPG last year was just under 5 runs... I am getting that with these sliders, although I did not at first. The sliders are difficult and that is to stop the users from getting an average of 14 hits/game. (I'm making up that number)

Keep playing... as you get better, those numbers should inflate throughout a season... I wouldn't suggest dropping down a level... just keep playing.

Of course, you can always make adjustments as you wish. This is just a base to increase the results to something a bit more believable than before.... I rarely had a 5 hit game previous to these adjustments, and with them, I can have some games were I only get a few hits and others where I have 10-16.

Contact shouldn't make much of a difference. Human plate vision is what you would want to raise... that is what is making the difference in the amount of hits you get...

yeah i think errors should be boosted a bit...my main concern is the of speed, when the ball is hit in the gaps......but i dont wanna toch them too much if it makes a big difference....i really like pared's sliders.....

Re: Pared's Gameplay Sliders!

Great sliders Pared!

I think user pitch movement and command should be kept at default if meter is used. Also, pitch counts should be at least 5 clicks to the right, with consideration to your CPU pitcher aggressiveness value taken. Contact @ 5 is perfect, now not every hit happens to be a smash toward the gap. And the variety of contact sounds is great.

By the way, I'm on HOF as suggested.
