Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

hmm well kelvi necobar went 8.0inn 7 hits 1 r... on homer....

he lost the game bummer... has any seemed that whenever they get a rally.. they get hits!!!! but when i get a rally.. its either...

a.... pop-up
b.... line out double play
c.... ground out

i had bases loaded twice and some how they got out of it i mean geeze.....

Very important that you get yourself into a hitter's count. The cpu is a master at wiggling out of jams forcing you to swing at crappy pitches. These sliders are stacked against you. You have to work for the wins!

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

No changes made. Make sure left stick aiming is true, that is where you will get your extra base hits. They are there! As far as walks go, it is totally dependent on your approach at the plate. What is the starting Cpu's pitch count after 6 or 7 innings?

what do you mean by left stick true??? i move it toward the pitch..????

for me they have about 70-80 pitches after 6 innings... i mean geeze.....

ohh ok so far im 2-3 after ur sliders and 12-1 before...

what i have noticed is that they get rallies really easily!!! luv that part!!!!! the part i hate is how i can get 10 hits and 0 runs... ugh hahahahah frustrating.. cause my pitcher deserved it more than them..... any tips on hitting?????

plus i get minimul strikeouts against the other team so i pushed they're timing window down 2 notches....
my scores have been 6-3,1-0,3-2,3-6....

i wouldnt midn them getting hits but they get little baby hits that are like wtf???? how did that happen???

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

I tend to have a pitcher at around 80 pitches in the 6th inning. Sometimes I'll have them towards 100 by the 5th and same for my pitchers sometimes too.

I work the count well, foul off pitches but have time completing the walks!

Meaning the more accurate you are aiming the bat towards the ball the greater the chance of getting solid contact and extra base hits. Also, I do not use the power swing at all, using it hurts more than it helps.

Your pitch counts look good so you are making the cpu pitcher work. Have you looked at the pitcher analysis charts to see how often you are swinging at balls. I am surprised at how many ball 4's get swung at.

I can't stress enough working yourself to a hitter's count. The cpu pitcher is a master at inducing ground ball outs. If you keep swinging at them he will keep throwing them. The cpu picks up on your tendencies and exploits them to no end!

Okay thanks...actually, the CPU pitch counts have been pretty realistic for me....in fact, now that I think about it, I always go deep into counts eventually tiring them out and then I just started raining singles. Anyway, thanks for the info. I thought maybe you've updated your sliders lately.

Then again, maybe these sliders are TOOO realistic I'm playing my Franchise as the Angels and in real life, Angels are a notorious singles hitter....not much power, doesn't walk much....much like the Angels of 2002

I'm assuming in the future if you ever update your sliders that you will update your signature as well?

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

hey you guys i have a problem on my game..... About once in a while when i hit a hard lin drive out to the out fielders i nthe gap or right noxt to them.. they sometimes start running for it........ (the ball bounces and al lthe need to do is catch it on a grounder and throw to 2nd.. i get a single)... but instead they ru nafter it then out of nowhere they slow down like a home runs been hit and watch it roll by then they wake up and are like ohh **bleep** i let it go by and it rolls to the wall.. a single turns into a triple and i score next play.... its not that bad but i have won but 1 ru nsometimes and its because of that sutupid error by them... annyone know how to fix it????

Re: HOF Sliders (Project Nemesis MLB 08)

Congrats man this roster is set is sickly good.

I made a few minor tweaks....I lower the error frequency a bit for every one.

First game I play after my fantasy draft with the Tribe..

Brandon Webb (me) vs. Fausto Carmona (cpu)

I cruise untl the 7th with a slim 1-0 lead....then a single and a walk and then I hang a 2-1 slider an Khalil Greene absolutely crushed it...3-1 Sox.....Webb finishes the game 7.0 IP 2 BB 12 K's while Carmona goes 7.0 2 BB 7 K's....very realistic so far in counts...i stranded runners a bit on my end....

Game 2 I win 4-2 Cliff Lee 6 IP 1 BB 2 K's I lead the game with a solo HR by Sizemore...even hit a 2-run HR later with Adam Dunn using the power swing on a high fastball....

I'm going to play a month to see my record and what the stats are like but so far so good....

I think there is a bit too much CPU stealing in the other games so I may try and adjust that....otherwise im really impressed...

Very good stuff!
