Edwy's AllStar Sliders

Re: Edwy's AllStar Sliders

Hey guys, I'm using Edwy's Allstar Sliders, but I have CPU contact and power on 9. I have pitch movement at 12 and pitch command at 0. My problem is the CPU doesn't score off me, the last 5 games I have held the CPU to under three runs. I'm using the White Sox. Any thoughts I what I could try to get the CPU to hit more and score more runs?

That is very very strange, I dont see how the CPU cant hit runs off of you especially if the Contact and Power are so high at 9, and also your pitch command at 0.....are you using API?? and Hustlin is right turn off all the aids...

Re: Edwy's AllStar Sliders

Update:

I've played 5 games with Edwy's sliders, except I've moved the pitch count one to the right, my pitch speed is at 5 not 4 and I bumped up CPU power a notch.

I've won 3 lost 2.... I won an incredible 11-8 17 inning game last week... 16 of the runs were scored in the first 9 innings, and I was starting to think that batting was too easy. Then I got owned for 7 innings until I hit a 3-run double in the 17th.

Next two games I have loast 4-2 and 7-3. I feel things are very realistic... over the past 3 games I am batting around .290 (I'm the Rockies, probably a little high, but...) have hit 3 HR's, 4 doubles, 1 triple, lots of singles, am striking out around 6-7 times a game, walking 2-3 times, I am striking out on average about 5 batters a game, walking 1-2.

I turned the strike zone off, API off, and only have a faded pitch cursor to pitch. No guess pitch batting... everything is challenging and each game I really feel I could win or lose depending on how well I play.

Thanks for your help Edwy, these have been great.

That is great that you were able to modify the sliders to your liking! Im very happy that your having fun.

Update: Ive modified my sliders a little bit more, User Power at 7 (already mentioned earlier), Pitch Command at 0, Pitcher Agressiveness back to Default 10 (seeing the CPU pitcher throwing too many balls, might help out a little bit)

Global settings: Guess Pitch On (but only use it to look at the swing analysis info), Hot Zone ON (just so when im the pitcher I wont always have to hit Select in order to see what zones the batter is weak in, Im not seeing any big difference in gameplay)

When im up at bat, im hitting alot more foul balls due to not using the guess pitch, and striking out alot more, this should definetley bring down the high Batting average im getting. Also, with the Pitch Command at 0 should definetley bring up the ERA.

Re: Edwy's AllStar Sliders

hey, edwy, ive been using your original sliders posted all the way from the first page cept power is at 7. only played 2 games so far with the phillies vs the braves. both my SPs have gotten 8 k's each while the SPs for the cpu has avg. around 5. (prolly due to me using guess pitching, doesnt really matter since im still trying to gain plate discipline, so K's will go up till i get better). Hits for me have been 13 for the first game with 4 runs, cpu with 6 hits and 1 run. Can you help remedy that for me for cpu batting and my pitching since my two SPs have less than a 1.50 ERA right now? ryan howard hit 3 doubles(1st game), and 2 in the second, so either i have the sliders too high or its just his stats. no homeruns for me, not even close to the warning track, whereas the braves dont have HRs either but they had at least 5 or so balls to the warning track.

ive read every page so far, and every post and its hard to try and keep track of all the edits each user has posted and incorporate it. ive enjoyed the sliders so far, cept that maybe the cpu has a tougher time against me. actually its kinda confusing since i had an easy time against john smoltz with all those hits, yet against tim hudson, they were leading 1-0 till the bottom of the 7th. i think either the cpu hits has to go up, or my hits have to go down. any suggestions helpful. thanks

I was having about that some trouble, after looking at my first month of stats I figured that my batting was too good and pitching was too good (it does take alot of games to see which stats are really sticking out of the ordinary) . I think you should try to put the Player 1 Pitch Command at 0, this will make you have less control and movement of your pitches which will give the CPU more chances of hitting your pitches thus producing more CPU runs.

Also as far as your hitting, once you get better you should definetley try not using the guess pitch as much, you will see that it is alot harder to get good hits in, but not impossible to get a hit against the CPU. To help produce more HRs, are you using the Power Swing at all?? If not, you should use the Power Swing with some of your big hitters (except when your down in the count like 0-2, then just use the contact, or thats just what I do). I dont see how your able to hit so many triples without getting a ball remotely near the warning track.

Let me know what your getting.

Re: Edwy's AllStar Sliders

ok edwy, i played my 3rd game of the series vs the braves and it went better. I raised my contact from 0 to 1, and kept my power still at 7. i decided to not change any of the pitching sliders because i thought that the first two pitchers were my top aces: cole hamels and dice-k(traded burrell for him), both are really great pitchers. with freddy garcia on the mound he pitched 7 innings with 3 ERs, 5 Ks, and 2 BBs. this game went by extremely better as both me and the cpu hit 2 HRs each. i took your advice and used power swing more for my power guys howard and utley. sad to say that only howard hit those two homers, but they were to take the lead in the 3rd and 7th inning. one homer was one that barely made it over the wall and didnt have that cutscene where it would only show the batter. and the exact same for the cpu, one was way over the fence and one barely. the boxscore was

Phillies: 8 runs, 12 hits, and no errors
Braves: 4 runs, 8 hits, and no errors.

Only thing that was weird was that in the top of the 3rd, the cpu scored one run. then in the bottom of the 3rd, howard hit a homer for 2 rbis. then in the 7th, the cpu hit for 3 runs, and then i hit for 5 rbis.

one other thing to note, of the 12 hits, 2 were homers and the rest singles. cpu had 2 homers, 1 double, and the rest singles. should i raise my contact to get more hit variety? if you see anything that i should decrease or increase, much appreciated.

First things first, just so you know, it takes more than 1 game to get the variety that I assume your wanting from sliders. It takes alot!! lol. Anyways I dont think you should increase the contact slider, when I tried it for a few games a while ago, all I got was more hits, mostly singles, so ive been using the Contact Slider at 0 for a long time now. Dont worry about not getting any doubles, I get a double maybe once or twice a game, and triples are pretty rare for me. I dont see anything "weird" from what your telling me. Keep trying, you'll get your doubles....after 35 or so games I only have 2 triples in my season. Also, if your first 2 pitchers are doing really good like you said in your previous post after say about 5 games each, I would lower the Pitch Command.

Remember, you want your games to be somewhat challenging and as real as possible, you dont want to go into a game thinking your gonna own up on the CPU

Have you tried these for the PS3 version? Im looking for some good sliders. Let me know

Re: Edwy's AllStar Sliders

well i just had the worst 3 damn games of my life. i put contact back to zero from 1, cause i had too many hits. that solved the problems as i averaged about 6 hits per game. had maybe 3 doubles in the span of those 3 games vs the marlins. the first game i lost was 3-1 which was a good match since i just couldnt capitalize on RISP. the second and third games are the ones that piss me the @#$^ off. the 2nd game was a great matchup 0-0 into the bottom of the 9th when they hit a walk-off homerun. wasnt my pitch either as it was not hung over the plate. i called that game fair and i wasnt as angry. the third game sucked the most. i had my ace cole hamels on the mound and had a perfect game going into the 6th when one of them hits a HR off my circle change, dont know what happened there since i was painting the black and didnt miss on the meter. from there, i fired back to make 3 RBIs in the very next inning, so the score 3-1. at the bottom of the 9th, i bring in my closer and with one out and 1-2 pitch, the guy hits a homer to make it 3-2. i didnt sweat it since i still had the lead. another guy got a BB since gordon couldnt throw a ******* strike for his life, for 4 pitches. miguel cabrera steps up and on the first pitch hits a walk-off HR to end the game. i just watched as the home team celebrated and just turned off the PS3. I'm prolly gonna buy a different game and play that game...much better than what i want to do right now and thats beat the crap outta my ps3 with the controller. is it ok if i beat the crap outta my tv with a bat?

Re: Edwy's AllStar Sliders

btw, in those 3 games the HRs were as followed: CPU - 4, ME - 0

Re: Edwy's AllStar Sliders

I did a game using your original sliders on your first post on the PS3.

Yankees - 2 - 5 - 0
Mariners - 1 - 5 - 0

Pretty realistic results, other than the fact that I suck at hitting right now, but I know I'll get better. My runs came from a Josh Phelps solo homerun and an RBI groundout by Cano. The Mariners scored off of a Jojima solo homerun.

Starting pitchers were Wang (NYY) and Washburn (Seattle). Both had pretty economic pitch counts/ ball to strike ratios. Wang through about 90 pitches in 7.2 innings, which is about right considering he's one of the most economical pitchers in the league with his pitch count. The ratio was something like 60 strikes, 30 balls, 0 BB, 1 K.

It was a fun game...I'm going to give the tweeked sliders you posted above a try and see how they work next.

Hey Edwy, new sliders seem really good. Have you decided what level to play on yet? I'm finding HOF a little too difficult. It seems the AI just gets hot whenever they want to. I like the All Star level. One thing though, I've noticed AI baserunners not advancing from 1st to 3rd and 2nd to home on long singles, do you think the fielder speed and AI fielder reaction should be dropped to 0?
