Re: TNK & PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***

i never said I was tweaking my sliders after 3 games and this is in 3 games recently in a season. if you look back in this thread I have played 30+ games with these sliders.

I wasnt looking to move the sliders but like I said for advice with hitting which I believe I have gotten so thank you all for replying and for the help. ill continue to post results from my games. if they help others with the sliders to see how well they work.

will def try those tips because we all know "chicks dick the long ball."

Nystyle here are a few tips on hitting that I use myself. Make sure to see the ball out of the pitchers hand. I know it sounds very basic but a lot of the time when I'm in funks striking out a lot I don't see the ball released. When you're ahead in the count use the normal swing. When behind use contact swing and when 3-0 look for your pitch and use power swing. 3-0 or 3-1 counts are the only time I use power swing.

Also try not too think too much about getting hits and homers. Just concentrate on what the pitcher is throwing you and go with it from there.

Hey guys, are any of you seeing diving plays in the outfield from yourself or the cpu? I recently switched to auto fielding in hopes of seeing more diving plays. It has helped in the infield but not once has one of my outfielders left their feet. In the 40 or so games I've played since I bought the game I only saw Ramus make one sweet diving catch against me and was so thrilled to see it.

Hey Guys,
I haven't been on much lately, had some work and family stuff going on. I'm hoping to finally start my franchise today at some point and be involved more here over the next few weeks before I go away on vacation....taking a 9 day caribbean cruise later this month

I got the power at 4 for cpu and human, solid hits too, play the same way as you, but i´ve still got too much strike outs by cpu.

Question to TNK & PsychoBulk: Do you always have strikeouts like i done in the two games i shown or do you have sometimes trouble with the strikeouts like me (between 10 and 19 per game)?

To lower the strikeouts to 1, does that mean the early counts lands more in the strike zone or more balls are thrown? When this on default makes it the pitcher better or worse?
I ask this because the pitchers i played against throw balls very nearly the strike zone, so i am swinging my bat but didn´t hit to often (most time the first 2 strikes or balls) so i am most time 0-2 before i can get balls which lands very much outside of the strike zone. And very often balls down and away are count for strikes.

When i watch the real games i see many times only 2 up to 6 strikeouts per game on both sides. My own strikeouts are always between 2 and 12 but Cpu throws sometimes very perfect.

In Timing the left Stick isn´t used or?
My Timing is many times Perfect shown but i miss or the ball is away.

Bobhead write it down:

Pitcher Control: Affects a pitcher's accuracy, and their ability to paint the corners/edges of the strike zone. Directly affects ball-to-strike ratios, as well as walk-to-out ratios. Does not significantly affect opponent's offensive ability, despite the game's description.Increasing ONLY this option will increase strikeouts, reduce walks, and slightly increase the number of pitches in the strike zone. If a pitcher is hitting their spots on the black too frequently, or not able to paint the corners enough, this is the option to change.

That means i had to put pitcher control from Cpu down to get pitchers which aren´t throw perfectly, right?

Not tryin to disrespect these sliders by any means, as I learn from alot of slider sets to make my own..but i have control and consistency at three and strike frequency at one and im loving it there. maybe something you wanna try. To me, it makes some of the balls easier to see are balls right out of the pitchers hand, and allows me to get more realistic counts. then, when they paint one, its more like, "wow, nice pitch, tip your cap" instead of "no way he just nailed that spot again"

You have a lot of nerve going on vacation during our hour of need! Just kidding, enjoy the cruise, it sounds great. One question, what do you think about the error slider being backwards? I was just reading about that possibility. The higher the slider is set, the errors are reduced.

Both works fantastic...thats the way i play now!

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***

for myself, i pitch analog all star with everything at default. strike frequency is strictly a cpu slider, as you decide how you attack the zone. I miss enough with the analog as it is and throw a good number of balls and mistake balls and strikes. If i get too good i'll mess with my sliders or go up a difficulty level.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Recently I upped fielding errors to 10(max) and through 3 games in my season I haven't made one error and the cpu has only made a throw error. I've seen a few bobbles here and there but nothing that results in a base runner to be safe. I know with 100 percent certainty that the Baserunner steal ability slider is reversed. At default or anything lower, stealing bases was too simple. Now, I have it at 8 and stealing isn't quite as easy.

Enjoy your vacation mate! My sincerest thanks goes to you and PB for making this game the best (IMO!) console baseball game ever!
