What's the name of the file if you don't mind.

Perfect Sliders v1.3

DJ, thanks for that but remember before we can make any real analysis it takes 20/30 games :wink:

I know, I will start posting results from each series and then we can see what the results are after 30 or so games.

Excellent mate, thanks, also your team averages for hitting/slg/ERA/BB/K both ways etc over that time would be great as well

Hey PsychoBulk, are you playing with CPU Comeback Handicap On or Off?

Thanks, ahead of time.

Ok no problem!

Re: ***The 'Perfect' Slider Set*** MLB 09 - The Show

I played a few games with some minor adjustments. I bumped up power by 1 for me and I turned the pitch speed all the way down...okay, so the latter is not very minor, but I need to be able to read these pitches. I plan on bumping it up as I get comfortable.

I won 5 to 3 vs. Brewers (me Giants) with 12 hits. Brewers had 10 hits. I would have had more runs if I didn't completely suck at baserunning, but I was overall pleased with the results. I'll play a few more like this and see if the hits are too much. I was most pleased by the fact that I got some opposite field HR's and a couple gappers for extra base hits (that's what I have been most lacking).

Re: ***The 'Perfect' Slider Set*** MLB 09 - The Show

Hey Doc, if you're using these sliders on Veteran I have a suggestion....

If you raise your power by 1 then you should try lowering timing by 1. When I first raised power by 1 from where Bulk has it set I was seeing too many HR's, so I lowered my timing by 1 and over the last 5 games it seems to have evened things out pretty good.
I did have one series vs Boston with a ton of HR for both teams but that's because the wind was blowing out 20+mph to left. I hit 5 in one game, all by lefties and all opposite field over the green monster. I was actually aiming that way to use the wind. They also hit 4 in the same game with the wind.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give my current settings a few game and if I start seeing too many HR's, I'll lower the timing.

Is your pitch speed set at Psycho's default?

Re: ***The 'Perfect' Slider Set*** MLB 09 - The Show

No, I have my pitch speed at 0 (all the way left)
I don't have good enough reflexes (for a few different reasons) to play with it higher.

I have tried these sliders on veteran but hitting around .360 with Seattle after 15 games. All-star seems a little too hard, feels like I can't score any runs but I guess I will have to give it another shot so I can find a happy medium. Someone said that the CPU does not feel as dangerous on Veteran, tell that to King Felix as he gave up five bombs in his last start and I lost 13-8 to the Rays.

Re: ***The 'Perfect' Slider Set*** MLB 09 - The Show

.360 as you know is way too much, go to All-Star and stick it out, im hitting .284 through my last 9 games and all is fine, obviously a lot of it is down to user skill but show patience and you will step up to the plate on All-Star im sure of it mate

Keep the feedback coming people, especially those using these sliders for a few weeks now.

I played a game with these last night.

I have a fantasy draft squad, Houston Astros against the Chicago Cubs.

It's Peavy(HOU) vs. Dempster(CHC)

Peavy is pitching an absolute gem through six and I'm winning 2-1 going into the 7th. Peavy loses total composure and allows 5 runs to score in the 7th. In the 8th I fire back with a 2-run homer from Kevin Youkilis. The score is 6-4. In the 9th I get 2 men on base with 2 outs and then I strike out.

It was a great game!!!

Re: ***The 'Perfect' Slider Set*** MLB 09 - The Show

I'm using your sliders in the RTTS mode on All Star difficulty as a pitcher. I'm in my second year and i'm in AAA. So far I really like the sliders on the games default difficulty the fielding errors were driving me nuts and i had an 2.6ish era. It just didn't quite feel right.

The biggest problem I seem to have is that any hit to the gap has a 75% chance of being a triple when in reality most should be doubles, any suggestions?

BTW i've played about 12 games with these sliders, and I see about 1-3 triples a game, but i've seen as many as 3-4 in back to back games. It drives me nuts.
