    Slider Sets for Different Levels (AA, AAA)

    I think its time that this issue is addressed as it is taking away from the fun and realism of the game.

    AA games have whatever sliders you use, but they are playing as if you are playing a MLB game. What I mean is that your AA players with the ratings they have are playing inferior to the slider set.

    Someone needs to create a slider set for AA and AAA levels to reflect the same type of game play you get at the MLB level regardless of ratings.

    I am noticing that I am getting very few extra base hits and literally only one homer through 14 games at the AA level.

    I play on AS with default AS settings and sometimes PsychoBulks most recent set. I have no visual aids on and hit from the Wide perspective while pitching from the Outfield view and Broadcast presentation. No other slider tweaks.

    I do see a lot of pitches and am very selective. I feel that regardless of my keen eye that I am still late on pitches that I see and time well. I think that there is another variable playing into a hitters bat speed.

    So slider GURU's CHD, Bulk, Nem, and whoever else feels me here. Chime in please!

    Re: Slider Sets for Different Levels (AA, AAA)

    My thoughts are just based on my experience with RTTS.

    I do agree that the bat speed is slower for some reason. I can go into a batting practice season with a crappy AA player against a MLB pitcher, and the pitch speed/bat speed seems fine. However, in RTTS, bat speed is slower to me, I'll be sitting on an inside fastball and I'll still be late on like a 92-93 fastball, and I'm just left scratching my head. I lowered pitch speed to 3 in my RTTS and it feels about right, still just a touch off or something.

    On your other points, I'm just not seeing it. I can hit extra base hits and HRs just fine. So does the CPU when I'm in the field or running the bases.

    I think a real good slider set will work from the MLB to AA. I haven't changed a slider except for pitch speed in my RTTS except that I put the CPU batting sliders at default since the CPU is pitching to them and not me.

      Played another 10 games and still no homers. I upped the contact and power to max as well as solid hits to 7.

        I haven't really played minor league games. What are the main differences in attributes between MLB and minor league players?

        My initial assumption would be to decrease pitching sliders first (as opposed to raising the hitting sliders) If I recall, the minor league pitchers attributes more closely resemble their MLB counter parts, and the margin for error/ difficulty in pitching is much smaller than for the batters.

          What do you mean CHD? I just got shutout in my fourth straight game. I have all the pitching sliders on default AS. Should I lower them?

            The only sliders to adjust would be pitcher consistency, control, or strike frequency. CPU consistency is at 6, control at 5, and frequency is at 3.

              Try this on Vet for AA - maxed power/contact/timing/solid hits with speed at seven and errors at two. Max out pitching sliders (not pitch speed), except stamina (7), hook (default) and strike freq., (three). Make steal ability 7, steal freq. 10 and injuries 2.

              Remember the pitch speed slider is a huge issue with SB's in RTTS, but not so much in franchise.

              Tell me what you think ksig. I load one set for the minors and the other for the majors.

                Why vet? Can you post your sliders for AA? I want to have a good feel for the game, MLB is night and day.

                  Pitcher control in conjunction with hitter contact slider determines how easy it is to make contact, and the possible result.

                  I'd make CPU pitch control 3 (or 2), keep consistency at 6 and frequency at 3. Then I'd keep HUM contact at 5, timing at 5 solid hits at 6, and power to 8.

                    I'll do it dude, as soon as I get home (at work, shhh). You have the best job in the world BTW!

                      Re: Slider Sets for Different Levels (AA, AAA)

                      I do this for both sides with hitting on vet and pitching on All-star. I use these only in minor league games, mostly in AA.

                      Contact 10
                      Power 10
                      Timing 10
                      Solid hits 5
                      Fouls 6
                      Stamina 7 (both)
                      Control - human 7, CPU 10
                      Consistency - human 8, CPU 10
                      Strike Freq. 3
                      Speed 7
                      BR Abl 7
                      Steal Freq. 10
                      Errors (both) 2

                      I use these with the mindset that there is a huge difference between AA/AAA and the majors. Tell me what you think about these ksig.

                          Yeah, I use different sliders for Minors/RTTS than I do for MLB games. When I get to the majors in RTTS I end up using Psycho's with my own global setup (below), but I use the above for minors due to the attribute differential being so off. My biggest (though small) gripe is that players are faster and more durable at 18-22 than they are 28-32. This games says the opposite, so I use the sliders to balance it out.

                          Shaun's global sliders for the Majors (I play on All-Star in Majors)

                          Pitch speed - 3
                          Errors - both 5
                          Fielder speed - 3
                          Reaction - 6
                          Arm Str. 4
                          Runner speed 6
                          BR Abl 6
                          Stl Freq. 9
                          Wind - 5
                          Injuries 3 (I use 1 in the minors)

                            Thanks for the sliders Shaun. At this point I almost just gave up after playing about 30 games I only had one homer. As far as my job is concerned, its fun and it soothes my baseball burn, but its far from easy or challenging. This season seems as if my reports may hold no bearing once again as we may shoot for Grandal from UM or maybe Machado or take a chance at someone who falls off the board (Pomeranz). Never know though so at this point its all speculation.

                              Glad I could help on the sliders!
