HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

[Hand76]

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

I have the PSP version and it's hard to pick what sliders to stick with because unlike the console version we have no patches. I am still tryign to find a good challenge with Human HQ really low and CPU HQ & Power really high.


One thing I never understood Nemesis (well one of many things I never understood ) is why is Batter Plate Discipline a -4? From the short time I have had in testing the CPU swings at more balls out of the zone, no? I just struck out the side against the Phills as the Mets with Pelfrey. Granted thats a small sample but I don't think Pelfrey has ever struck out the side in his major league career. (That's with all pitching aids off)

So wouldn't making that # higher or leaving it at default make for a better CPU hitter?



Ohhhhh and one more question if I could. I know why you raised CPU throwing strength to +5 but why the -2 to human throwing strength? It seems like I have a hard enough time throwing out runners on DP's or steals. Even with preloading (think that's what you call it) my throws to the bag. (Just keep in mind I have the PSP version of the game and there is no individual IF or OF throwing speed sliders) So that might be why I am confused here.

Thanks again.

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

Hey Nem was just looking back over past pages and saw your reply to another post about why the plate discipline is lower.

Now can I ask one more question, I just had the bases loaded against me (with your slider set from before the patch/the one on page 40) and I had a past ball go just short of the backstop wall but the runner from third (forgot who it was but think he was fast) did not try to score. Is that because of base running aggresivness now in the negative? And what is the reason behind that in general?

On a side note where about on Long Island are you from? I live now in Ronkonkoma and have family back in Babylon.

Thanks again.

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

Decided to give these a try since I was 15-4 in my chise.

First game against the Dodgers I threw a lot of pitches and made some mistakes, Billingsley was unhittable, his curveball was sick.
R H E
LAD 4 10 0 3 home runs
ATL 1 3 0 Teixeira solo HR

R H E
WSH 0 5 0
ATL 4 7 1

Hitting has been tough so far but I like the challenge and hopefully I can have some shoot outs

Thanks for giving them a shot! You will get a good challenge with these. Let me know if you have any questions.

The psp version plays a different game of baseball and these do not translate well to that version. I have the psp version and the next time I fire it up, I can give you the set that I use for it.

The runner aggressiveness is toned down because at default or higher the cpu runners make foolish base running decisions and run themselves out of a lot of innings.

This slider is opposite on the psp version. You would have to flip it!

Oh man I would GREATLY appreciate that. I was just about to start a new season but I will wait to see what you have come up with first for the PSP.

Thanks much man. Also keep in touch since you live so close by.

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

Nem if you are busy and don't want to type everythign out I could always PM you my cell # and you can just tell me that way. Whatever is easier for you.

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

I haven't had a chance to compliment you Nem on your slider set. First, I can't believe that I am playing of HOF, second, I can't believe how fun the games are with this set. I am not very good but I actually am holding my own for whatever reason.

What game variety too. I played a game as the Twins vs the Giants. I won the game 5-3 both teams with 9 hits. LOB is not shown, but the Giants definitely blew it, they left a ton of runners on, bases loaded twice. It was such an intense game, I actually had an involuntary fist pump when Nathan finally recorded the last out.

I had won a few games in a row, then played as the Royals versus the Cards yesterday. Bannister jumps out with 3 strong innings, I score 2 runs, I'm feeling comfortable...then the Cards explode for 8 runs in the 4 and 5 innings, and I couldn't manage a baserunner hardly the rest of the game.

Thanks for sharing your hard work. Playing this game is unbelievable.

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

These sliders are great, thanks Nemesis. One problem I seem to be having: My team really starts to die out during a franchise. I have no form of transportation and have bought no additional clubhouse/team upgrades. A few weeks into the year and it just seems that we don't hit or even pitch as well as before.

Is this a sort of team slump or is this purely endurance based? Has anyone else had a similar experience? If I restart a franchise it's usually the same thing; team plays great (still losing some games) the first week or so then they hit a wall.

Nem please don't forget about us PSP owners.

Still waiting on your slider set before starting a new season.

Glad you are enjoying them guys! Thanks for giving them a shot.

Lowe, teams will go through streaks you just have to trudge through them!

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

Hey nem is this normal????

I know it was only 1 game but my 1st game after using ur sliders i played the rangers and there pitcher was coming in with a 1.25era

Angels 5 14 0 (this is me)
Texas 1 5 0

They only got 1 run because i threw to the plate and for some reason my catcher didnt try to tag him out.... I got alot of hits u pthe middle or dinkers through the holes.... (2 solo shots by hunter) (1double) The other 11 hits were singles.....

I have the settings right with no guess pitch yada yada but i do play with strike zone (not hot zones) just strike zone but it disappears when The ball comes.. I find it WAY EASIER to pitch with it on.... Should I turn it off then???? How can u tel lwhats a ball or strike??? maybe that's the point you dotn know???

Well before your sliders I struke out average 8 now i only get 3-4 they seem to be able t ofoul off alot of pitches.....
