Old Man Realism (4.0)

Re: Old Man Realism (4.0)

If you put CPU pitch control back down to 0 (like in his original sliders), the walks come back...

I don't walk because I swing at crap. Usually 2-0 pitches I'm hacking whether it's in the zone or not. I try to control it, but it just doesn't happen. I'd probably walk 3 to 4 times a game, but I can't resist swinging at some pitches. It's not the sliders, trust me, it's me.

Ok well that makes more sense. Maybe I'll give these a shot then.

Re: Old Man Realism (4.0)

It means the whole way to the left. Now my question is are these designed around classic or meter pitching?

i was going to ask that next. i was using pared tweaks but idk. i cant find a perfect fit for me. so with these sliders you basically move all the sliders to the left and just counting from left to right?

Yep, start from the far left. I tried them with meter, I just don't like using it. I love the classic style. With classic, I'm seeing the CPU distribute the ball everywhere, singles, doubles, gappers, etc...with meter all I saw was singles. I just think there's to much control with meter this year. I'm giving up over 6 runs a game using classic in my dynasty. Ouch!!!!

I'd say try them for yourself and see. If I didn't swing at crap all the time, I guarantee I'd walk 2 to 3 times a game. I'm getting them, usually 1 or 2 a game, but it could and should be more, but that's my doing, not the sliders.

Re: Old Man Realism (4.0)

When I first looked at the sliders I saw the problem with the walks. CPU Pitch control should be at 20 from the left. Do that and the walks should come back. Haven't had time to test this too much because I've been working on a new roster for 3 hours and before that it was storming in my area and I don't like running my ps3 when it's storming. I'll report back when I play tommorow.

Just asking here guys, but these are titled OLD MAN SLIDERS, does this mean that if I'm noy necessarily an OLDMAN that these are not for me or what?

I am far from an old man and these are great. So give these a shot.

Re: Old Man Realism (4.0)

just one quick question is 0 all the way to the left and 20 all the way to the right?

The only way to find out is to try them for yourself. The main reason I chose 'Oldman" was because of the pitch speed being so low. With how far I am from the TV (about 10 feet) and how limited my playing time is, I needed something that I could jump right into without worrying about being rusty everytime I played. They are working for me and I am by no means an old man (only 26).

In hindsight, I guess I should've named them 'Occasional Man's Realism'.

I have not tested these with Classic but it's good to know I have a backup plan if the meter gets too effective. Right now I am seeing some pretty realistic lines by just using the Outfield view while pitching.

I.e. Johan Santana: 6 IP, 8 hits, 1 walk, 8 K's, 1 ER.
Bruney: 1 IP, 2 hits, 1 walk, 1 K, 2 ER.
Shouse: .2 IP, 0 hits & walks
Hawkins: 1.1 IP, 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 ER, 1 K
Total: 11 hits, 3 walks, 4 ER, 10 K

I dont see 11 hit games regularly but it was against the Astros with Berkman, Towles, Lee and Tejada all on fire.

Commish, check your PM.

Stat lines from previous 2 games:

SD Vs. NYY
Young Vs. Zambrano
NYY wins 8-0
NY stats: 11 hits, 3 BB, 1 double, 4 HR, 10 K, 136 total pitches (2 pitchers)
SD stats: 4 hits, 3 BB, 1 double, 0 HR, 9 K, 152 total pitches (4 pitchers)

SD Vs. NYY
Maddux Vs. Hughes
SD wins 10-5
NY stats: 9 hits, 3 BB (2 against Maddux), 4 doubles, 1 triple, 2 HR, 3 K, 164 total pitches (4 pitchers)
SD stats: 10 hits, 4 BB, 1 double, 4 HR, 9 K, 130 total pitches (3 pitchers)

Good stats as far as I'm concerned. The only thing that might need adjusting is the amount of HR's being hit. Anyone else having a similar issue?
