CPU vs CPU

Re: CPU vs CPU

Hey guys, I'm new to the show. I just got the game today, and I'm all about cpu vs cpu. I've been following this thread and already have my sliders for this mode..

but how come I can't change the camera during a cpu vs cpu game? I don't want to be stuck watching from the catchers view (behind the batter) I want to watch the game from the broadcast camera just like on tv. that option is available, but I can only change it when I have control of a team, not in cpu vs cpu mode.

am i doing something wrong? this is happening in exhibition and season mode so far. any help is appreciated, thanks

You can definitely use the broadcast camera views in CPU vs CPU games. What's your gameplay options are for hitting, pitching, and fielding?

Re: CPU vs CPU

nomo I am really having trouble finding your current sliders with the changes that you have added.

It's on SportsConnect slider vault... sort by date and it's June XX (forgot) under the same username, that's the latest one from me. sorry haven't updated my thread yet.

Re: CPU vs CPU

Question for you CPU guys...specifically Nomo...but really, anyone who feels comfortable on this subject:

If I were to lower CPU fouls, and CPU fouls only, could I expect to see and increase or a decrease in CPU SO? It really could go either way. Has anyone run any tests on this?

Are their any other effects of doing this (minus, obviously, a lower pitch count)?

I'd expect to see an increase of swing and misses.

Any thoughts?

If I lowered the foul frequency slider, it reduced the amount of foul mouthing by ballplayers... no, it increased the swing & miss % (though I only did this by clicking down the foul frequency slider only by one... so I'm not 100% convinced, but for the crude testing I did it appeared to show the effect).

You might be right it could go either way, but if lowering that slider increases swing & misses, then eventually it will increase strikeouts I think... pitches swung at are always strikes, and if hitters just cannot fight off by fouling them off, then they'll be struck out.

Another documented effect is that some balls in play down the line will end up fair if you decrease that slider. Not sure how much this affects BA, but I'd say not much.

So if I want to just control swing & miss, I'd adjust this slider first, as other sliders would have more complex effects.

Don't think there is... unless you are anal about certain obscure details, these sliders in this thread will give you reasonable results.

So no new changes eh?

Nomo, what would you personally change for minor league games? (OS Full Minors)

I might keep making minor changes to the sets in my own threads, but people frequented in this thread are all satisfied and enjoying the game without adjusting sliders more I suppose.

As for minor league games, I don't know. I haven't started full blown franchise with MLB 11 myself yet, so don't know how the OSFM roster changes things.

On one hand, some people said the offense was reduced in minors (which I felt the same way with my RTTS games in MLB 10 when I used OSFM rosters, but not sure this year). But Knight commented that he frequently plays minor league games but never mentioned it as being an issue, so I think others don't see it.

ksig24 wanted to increase offense a bit in minors, and was asking similar questions:

and that was my tentative answer...

When I use the default SCEA rosters, I don't think offense if reduced at all this year. I've played quite a few minor league games (result play mode), and the offense is there.

I havent tried the settings yet but Contact 10, Power 10, Timing 10 and Control at 0 are the only sliders you would change? (play around with)

I noticed in an older post that you had mention Consistency and a few others.

That suggestion was specifically geared toward someone who was seeing reduced offense/power numbers in minor league gameplay with an OSFM roster. He was kinda suspicious that these slider adjustments don't seem to increase offense enough anyway, but I suggested those to literally maximize the offense and minimize the pitching just using sliders. If these exaggerated slider adjustments don't change things enough, then he should go ahead and do the editing of player ratings which should really be the last resort for the time sake...

For increasing offense, what I suggested above is obvious, but for pitching it might be trickier because pitching slider adjustments probably have a lot more subtle effects. I suggested to lower pitcher control just because the in-game description states that if you lower it, you should lower contact slider as well, which appears to suggest lowering pitcher control slider alone has a direct effect on increasing batting average (hence they should be adjusted in sync to keep batting average roughly similar for good game balance; by doing opposite, I thought I could make offense inflated. I could be wrong of this interpretation though...).

I think I didn't suggest to change pitcher consistency only because it has a far stronger effect (compared to pitcher control) on strike-to-ball ratio, and not sure if that's a desirable thing. But presumably you could lower that slider to make pitching weaker if necessary.
