Lol it sucks when you can tell how a game is about to play out. But I got the same issue.

Re: *****The 'Perfect' Slider Set***** MLB 10 - The Show

I was under that impression too, for a while...but then i realized it was high because it included me chasing "balls" and either missing or fouling, which led to inflated strike percentages.

Yeah, that would have an effect...

In my observation though, I made adjustments to the stat by checking to see if I took a swing at something outside the zone and then altering the percentage...

Fouls that were created by swinging at pitches that would have landed as strikes were not adjusted for, b/c they most likely would have been called strikes...

Re: *****The 'Perfect' Slider Set***** MLB 10 - The Show

just used your sliders for the first time and i won 10-6, and i play w/ the braves and billy wagner gave up 3 runs in the 9th inning against the cubs!!! And other than that i was impressed w/ the way the game felt. It just drives me nuts that wagner did that (or i did that), especially being familiar w/ wag's career numbers, he hasn't given up 3 earned runs in the month of april since 2003!!! and i did it in the 3rd game of my franchise, even though i struck out all 3 batters for the outs...sometimes i hate this game.

Re: *****The 'Perfect' Slider Set***** MLB 10 - The Show

i know what you mean... i get the same kind of 'wtf' feeling. i guess it's also one way the game can add/subtract stats to players so everything fallls in line statistically as you get closer to the end of the season.

Dead on guys and thats why I give the cpu the advantage and I play on Veteran instead of Allstar level.
As the forced AI stuff isnt as strong on that level IMO .
The best thing is when I lose on Veteran level it feels natural and not forced , if I play good I win most of the time and if I make bad moves I lose most of the time.
Hope this helps

Gotta love when a double play opportunity to end an inning is blatantly booted by your 2nd baseman to extend the inning and allow enough runs to score to tie the game. This has happened to me way to many times. I've also been in a million extra innings game!

Re: *****The 'Perfect' Slider Set***** MLB 10 - The Show

Guys, how much of a difference is there between default Pitch Speed and zero Pitch Speed?

Last year I remember having a hard time getting around on fastballs and zeroed the Pitch Speed slider. I did the same when I picked up 10 but am noticing recently I'm getting a ton of base hits.

Is that tied in to the Pitch Speed slider or the Solid Hits slider (which I have at default)?

No tie in's just a reaction and timing thing .
IMO instead of tweaking sliders just raise that slider if your to good at hitting .

That's what I figured. I'll give it a few more games and then if I am still crushing everything, I'll bump the Pitch Speed slider back to default.

its really a great fix if your hitting to good

Re: *****The 'Perfect' Slider Set***** MLB 10 - The Show

I use it at default, I had it at 0 for the longest time but I found I was ahead of a lot of pitches and not waiting long enough. So I bumped it back up to default and I'm amazed at how much better I've gotten. It's really not as tough recognizing pitches as it was previously when I played with it at default. Maybe using guess pitch helps as well, not sure. I've fallen in love with this feature and will never go back.

I was in the same camp. I played with zero for the longest time convinced that was the only way I could read pitches, check swing, layoff borderline pitches, hit fastballs and wait on a slow pitch and react in time to fight off a fastball.

I was swinging far too early on the offspeed stuff which the cpu figured out and would throw junk on 2-2 and 3-2.

I raised it to 3 and low and behold, the fastball hardly changed! But the offspeed stuff was easier to time and my pitch recognition didn't suffer one bit. My walks are still there and my strikeouts have actually declines.

I do see a few more opposite field liners on fastballs but hey, watch MLB baseball, that's what players do, they go opposite field quite a bit.

Last years' game was different. The pitch speed was much faster and the bat speed was faster so I played with speed on zero all year. This years' game is timed a bit differently.

Enjoy!

I agree with King on this one. When I had SF set at 3 I was seeing way too many 0-2 counts. I lowered it to 2 and it seems to be a little better. I still don't walk enough, but that is just something I have come to accept in a video baseball game.

Re: *****The 'Perfect' Slider Set***** MLB 10 - The Show

Good day,

I believe I have surrendered. I purchased MLB 10 The Show the day it was released in my home town. Unlike almost everyone else I have yet to really enjoy this game. My problem like many others is that I have became overwhelmed by sliders and settings. I also belive that the "Perfect slider set" is very realistic but in many ways or at least the way I play the game is not. I have started and stopped four seasons since I purchased this game. I have made every attempt to play this game with All Star hitting and All Star pitching, using the perfect slider set. I find this realistic in the type of hits that are achieved. However there are almost no hits or runs period. Every game and I do mean every game is a 3-2 , 4-3. 4-1 score. When using these sliders exactly as described by Pchycobulk I have no success hitting what's so ever. every at bat seems to be a struggle to get the ball out of the infield let alone get a hit. The only success I have is to put the contact slider up one click and even then I might get four runs. As far as the computers hitting skills, they disappear. I started a offline season with the St.Lous cardinals and after playing 50 games I have never surrender more then four runs or 8 hits. I thought it might be the somewhat easy schedule the cards have in the early part of the season but after holding the Braves, Dodgers, and Phillies also to about two runs a game I find that this is no longer working for me. Every starting pitcher for the user or computer has a start like the following 6-8ip 4-6 hits zero to 3 walks and 6-9 ks
I have been told by several individuals that this game has been configured to play harder then the previous versions. Therefore if playing on versions that you have been playing on for years you will have much different results.
I have had the perception that hitting and pitching settings should be the same. And that playing on veteran is easy. However id almost rather have an easier play then have to fight and concentrate as if I'm studying for my masters.
I have just started a season with the Minnesota Twins. I'm looking for any feedback. I'm pretty much done playing with the sliders and settings. Id like to score some runs and give up some runs. it not realistic for every game win or lose to be a pitchers duel.

I'm going to try the following... Hitting on veteran pitching on all star with every thing the same as the perfect slider set except solid hits turned to three.
Any feedback would be wonderful I truly belive that weather I have player hitting 400 or continue to average 4 hits a game that I don't want to continue to be worried about settings and sliders, I know may other people have had this problem and it truly takes away from the great game that this is. Thank You
