Re: TNK & PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***
As far as walks, you have to pitch to the corners and edges. Don't be afraid to walk someone. I've thrown 50 walks in 25 games now. I'm still tied for 1st with Philly, but I've thrown 25 in my last 7, so 3.5 per game in that span.PSN-Shugarooo

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***
Does anybody feel like POWER should maybe be lowered one notch to 3 for both the Human and CPU?
I'm not ready to make that change yet - but I have a feeling that may be the next refinement we come across. I'm wondering if that could cause some HR's to scrape the wall and turn into doubles and triples.
Thoughts?
-Arod - 6
-Texeira - 7
-Granderson - 4
-Swisher - 5
-And everyone else has another 4-5 combined
A little too much, would you say? I'm hoping this balances out at some point during the season.Comment

Aren't u guys just dominating pitching on all star? I play with the Brewers and on all star Greinke, Marcum, and Gallardo are unhittable. HOF is as close as I can get it, bumped my team ERA up to mid-3's.
Thanks TNK and PsychoBulk, if it wasn't for u two I woulda threw this game out long ago!Comment

The difficulty with the POWER setting is it depends greatly on the team you are using (with exceptions like Juan Pierre)...I play with the A's and I've had nothing but "warning track" power the first 10 games...I can't get anything to leave the yard...Comment

Yea, i'm thinking bumping Human Power down might be the way to go...i'm gonna give it 4 more games though and check my home run average...it should be just over 1...Rickie Weeks wont stop hitting deep balls!Comment

The nibble argument is sort of silly in my opinion. Why nibble if the CPU has such a low BABIP that when you mix up your pitches well enough and put 75% of the balls in the zone the CPU STILL won't be able to do a thing?Last edited by coreyhartsdaughter; 05-05-2011, 01:42 PM.Comment

I think Contact is the issue for you guys, not Power. I'd wager a Jeff Suppan jersey that if you played with contact at 4 (or even 3) you'd hit half the HR you're hitting now with only a slight ding to BA. (although K's might increase, but that's up to the USER to remedy, not an effect of Sliders)
I also speculate that Strike Frequency at 1 causes the pitcher to fall behind far more often, which leads to more "pitches to hit," and the low Pitch Speed makes it easier to perfectly position the PCI. Obviously optimal Pitch Speed is subjective, but I am of the opinion that Pitch Speed should not be lowered to the point where pitches are easy to read, the idea is to only lower it to the point where you can keep up.Comment

Definitely agree with this.

IDK how anyone can read the pitches at the current speed. You guys are crazy! LOLComment

Maybe you just need to practice more. I started with a low pitch speed too, but when it didn't help, I tried a higher pitch speed, and it actually made me better. The trick is to follow the pitch out of the pitcher's hand and recognize it as soon as possible.
Also you are supposed to be late on fastballs, that's why they aren't called slowballs!Comment

The diminished strike frequency paired with the AI's pitching approach on All Star may also contribute to a lot of late count strike pitches. (to compensate for the increased balls thrown early count).
This is why looking at pitchers strike % is so subjective, sure they may be throwing 62% strikes, but if 80% of them are in hitters counts, something's amiss.
You're second point hits home (ha) as well. I think more guys should consider raising timing to 6 or 7, but increasing pitch speed to a point where (in the beginning) they have a hard time hitting high fastballs or inside pitches.
It also feels like the visable difference of off speed pitches versus a fastball decreases at lower pitch speeds. I know I for one hit more HRs on off speed pitches (there's clearly some 'bonus' attributed to good timing on poorly located off speed stuff, cause' they just fly off the bat)Comment

Perhaps I will try these on HOF and see what happens. When I used them on all-star I just dominated pitching and the CPU offense was just non-existent.Comment
