Bellz666 MLB08:The Show Sliders - PS3 (All-Star Difficulty)

[bellz666]

Hey Fellas,

I had some awesome feedback on my 2k Sliders last year, and really wanted to put out a set of sliders for The Show, since I just love this year's version of the game.

I initially used DKrause's base set, and modified them over the last twenty or so games I've played. I now have a set of sliders that I'm comnfortable with as a true sim set of sliders with accurate numbers for both CPU and Human batting, fielding and pitching.

I played a three game set using the Seattle Mariners against the Texas Rangers, and will post my series numbers for both teams shortly.

I hope you guys like these, and I plan to use them with tomorrow's roster update for my 2008 campaign.

Re: Bellz666 MLB08:The Show Sliders - PS3 (All-Star Difficulty)

In my three game set against the Rangers, this is how we compared. It was a pretty good series, where I won two of the three games.

Offense:

Sea BA: .311
Tx BA: .232

I have tweaked the pitching a little to make it more even, I really outhit the CPU, and even with their Discipline maxed they swing at garbage out of the strike zone.

Sea Runs: 17
Tx Runs: 16

Sea 2B: 7
Tx 2B: 7

Sea 3B: 1
Tx 3B: 0

Not too far fetched for extra base hits in a three game set. I liked the hit variety, and not once did either team have "too many" singles.

Sea HR: 3
Tx HR: 3

Sea SB/CS: 2/2
Tx SB/CS: 0/1 (Hard to get the CPU to attempt steals, if you raise the slider one notch too high, they attempt constantly.)

Sea GIDP: 1
Tx GIDP: 1


Pitching:

Sea ERA: 4.82
Tx ERA: 5.31

Sea QS: 3
Tx QS: 1

Again, the CPU swinging at crap outside the zone makes it hard for your pitching to have a bad day. I'm thinking Texas' offense is crap. I was nowhere near as dominant against the other teams I faced.

Sea BB: 8
Tx BB: 5 (I really wish I was more disciplined)

Sea K: 15
Tx K: 36 (again, I swing entirely too much)

Defense:

Sea Errors: 3
Tx Errors: 2

Does anyone know if these sliders work as well before the patch? Thanks for these sliders by the way Bellz666!

Re: Bellz666 MLB08:The Show Sliders - PS3 (All-Star Difficulty)

No problem, I hope people that use these like them, I spent a ton of time making the game as realistic as I could.

Re: Bellz666 MLB08:The Show Sliders - PS3 (All-Star Difficulty)

is there any way to fix these glitches im noticing ? i have latest patch

**********SEASON MODE***********

1. cpu ai fielding glitch where first baseman fields a ground ball and just stands there and waits for the pitcher to cover, first baseman is close enough to tag bag but always waits for pitcher resulting in a single every time. happens a lot. Playing in season mode. (frequently happens)

2. user fielding glitch where if you dive for a ball but you miss it and it deflects off your glove your fielder wont pick it up but just stand on the ball and you have to wait for another fielder to come pick it up. Season mode (always happens if you miss)

3. user fielding glitch where you run right past a ball hit to you. season mode ( occasionaly happens
