Putz sounds like my used to be K-Rod! Thank god he's in the NL now...or in jail. I can't remember.

This is great. I'm posting while watching the real life Posada take a walk. It's like a baseball explosion!!!

Nice to see some offense with Solid Hits even lower than mine and Jgainsey's.

Where do you have User Consistency? 3? I'll keep that in mind if I dominate too much later on.

Haha I'm going to go with jail on that one.

Keep in mind I have pitch speed on 2, so that allows me to square up on more pitches than someone playing on 5 or 4.

I have consistency on 2, just trying it out. I always struggle with actually walking the CPU, so I wanted to force my hand this year a bit.

About to pitch my first game with Andrew Cashner! Talk about a baseball explosion!

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion

I actually walked closer to 4 per game with consistency at 5, but I pitch around hitters pretty often.

With it at 4, it's awesome waking guys from sheer wildness! Very cool.

Consistency, with Analog, seems to be like 75% user dependent this year. Unlike years past. So your '2' could be my '4' or someone elses Default.

I'm starting my real Spring Training when I get home tonight. First up, NYY vs Halladay. Then, Cliff Lee in game 2! Yikes...Here's hoping I don't throw throw the controller.

Ya that's very true, that's why it's beneficial to have a full grasp of the sliders and what they effect, otherwise we'd be painting the corners everytime even though we're missing our 'release point'.

Have fun with those 2 man, I haven't really faced an elite pitcher yet, the closest I've gotten was Kevin Correia.

I believe I get Haren in the next game so we'll see how that goes.

Alright game 5 of my 2011 season. Last years unfortunate culprit of an umpiring mishap, Armando Galarraga versus the hard throwing youngster, Andrew Cashner. *Note: I have changed Cashner's repertoire to mirror his real life counterpart, SCEA has him topping out at 91mph.

Things got off to a hot start for the home team in this one. 10 pitches into the game and last year's sob story was facing Tyler Colvin with the bases jammed. Colvin delivered with a 2 RBI single up the middle and we never looked back. After Colvin's big single, Soriano came up and cleared the bases off a 2 seamer that caught too much of the plate. 0 outs in the bottom of the first and the Cubbies already got a 5-0 lead. Cashner took his offense's lead and pitched 6.2 innings of 1 hit baseball, accruing 9 k's along the way. Reed Johnson tacked on 2 insurance runs in the bottom of the 8th with a double to the RF gap, and the Cubs coasted to a 7-1 victory.

This story has a sour ending though, as Cashner was removed from the game in the 7th inning after his 88th pitch.

I just got back to the main franchise mode screen and there is no sign that he is going to miss any time, no icon by his name and no pop-up notification so I'm assuming he's okay. Just a sign that I shouldn't push the youngster too hard since he was running on fumes.

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion

Game 6 of my franchise. Rubber match of my series against the Diamondbacks.

Ryan Dempster was looking to get his first win on the year, and apparently will keep searching as the Diamondbacks reigned supreme. Dempster looked strong early, allowing his first hit in the 3rd inning, which happened to be a solo shot by Stephen Drew. Stephen Drew then added an RBI double to his resume in the 5th inning. Stephen Drew was the Cubs kryptonite, going 2-4 with 2 RBI's. Dempster had to be pulled after the 6th inning, due to his high pitch count.

Samardzija looked to avenge his porous outing of last, and did nothing but continue to build upon his cold streak, giving up 2 bombs in the top of the 9th inning. Allowing the D-Backs to take a comfortable 4-0 lead into the last frame.

Soriano added a meaningless solo HR in the bottom of the 9th, but the lead proved insurmountable with JJ Putz taking the rock in relief of Hernandez.

I did not hit the ball all that well in this game, it seemed every hit was just a single up the middle with 2 outs. That's why there are 162 games right?

Ugh.. I know what you mean.

I just noticed the same thing with Ervin Santana. There's almost like a little hitch or something just before he releases the ball. I actually thought it was a glitch at first, and that the game was skipping a frame two in his delivery...

I don't think that was the case though. I watched the replay of his delivery a few times and everything looked fine. So I guess all of those Ks were my fault, lol.. I think it was just that he has such an over the top arm slot that it was throwing me off.

Btw, thanks for posting the box scores. Looking forward to seeing some more of 'em. Oh, and what kind of controls are you using for fielding?

Haha ya I think that is the case with Putz as well, it looks like a hitch in the animation but it's probably just my inability to pick up the the ball out of his delivery.

I'm on buttons right now. I like the organic feel of the analog, I just felt that it was too much weight on the user. I want it to be a delicate balance between the ratings and user input, but I felt it was just too reliant on user input. Then again I only played a handful of games with it so I could easily be persuaded to give it another go.

What is it with relievers in general? My strike outs have been through the roof lately. Without a 'pitch history' to utilize (because they're coming in fresh), I'm finding it tough to adjust to them. Any advice would be helpful.

I switched over to buttons too (from Auto Throw). It's a lot of fun. I couldn't keep up with Analog, and I would have been on the verge of setting the all-time RF assists record with Nick Swisher on Auto. Buttons are a ton more realistic.

I couldn't take it any more! Watching the BoSox get destroyed inspired me enough to dive right in to opening day...and it was probably the most fun and realistic game I've ever played...

Ugh...minus my strikeouts. But racking up 11 K's against the Tigers when Verlander has the nod is plenty acceptable, in my opinion.

It was a heartbreaker, I'll tell you that. But a blast.

Could one of you link me to the box score template?

For the Hell of it, User Consistency 3...

I think I'm in love....

**Jgainsey** · 04-03-2011, 11:36 AM

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion

Lol.. User consistency at 3, eh? I guess I might as well do the same, I've been contemplating it for a while now with my walks being a little low.

I know I said this plenty last year, but I definitely feel like I'm really close to being set with my sliders. The only thing I can see my self changing at this point is maybe power or solid hits, that is if the HRs don't come down a little. Other than that, I really like what I'm seeing so far.

Here's the link for the box score/dynasty stuff... http://dynasties.operationsports.com/index.php

**Heroesandvillains** · 04-03-2011, 03:58 PM

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion

Is there a more efficient way to make these box score templates? For instance, if I leave a field blank, will it automatically fill in a "0" for me. Any help on this would be amazing. Perhaps it's just a labor of love.

Now, on to Opening Day!

Sabathia would take the hill at home to start the 2011 season off against Verlander and the Tigers.

For 4 innings, Sabathia would hurl no-hit ball. Thanks to a 1st inning triple from Jeter, a BB, and an RBI double, NYY would take an 2-0 lead early.

Verlander never really settled down. In the bottom of the 4th, Jorge Posada took a hanger into the RF bleachers, and the Yankees would go up 4-0.

Now, this point, I was aware of the no-no, but wasn't really nervous at all.

First pitch, top 5: Detroit's lead off hitter is determined to get something going. He squares around to bunt, and Sabathia and Martin would take every kernel of their combined 500 LBS to reach this ball and throw out the bunter at first. Martin wins the foot race... But...

Martin's throw would not be in time. This would prove to be Sabathia's unraveling. DET would string together 4 hits, capped off by a homerun at the hands of Avila, and at the end of 5, we'd be all tied at 4.

The game would stay this way until the 9th.

This is where I would commit the managerial bone-headed mistake of a lifetime...the Cardinal Sin of Yankees baseball...

Instead of warming up Rivera to preserve the tie, I opt for Chamberlain!!! Why?!?!?! Detroit took a 5-4 lead, warmed up THEIR closer (the RIGHT move), and Valverde sets me down 1,2,3.

I'm suspending myself for 3 games and donating a month's video game manager's salary to charity.

I will NOT, make that mistake...again.

Here's the boxscore:

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion

Ha! Man, the video game NY media is going to be all over you *** for that one!

One thing I've been doing for the box scores is leaving the individual hitting stats blank, and just filling out the totals, along with the notable hitting stats(2Bs, HRs, etc..). Another thing you can do is unclick the scoring summary option if you're not going to use it. I usually do that too.

Ah..!!!

I just did a mock one, using your boxes as my end goal.

Perfect! And much less time consuming.

Thank you very much.

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion

Hey guys, just found this thread and am looking forward to hopefully contributing some findings on my end. I've been using another slider set on here and have been playing on All-Star since I got this years game, but I think I'm going to change things up a bit and go HOF and work off some of your existing sliders.

With my current settings I was finding myself constantly putting up very few runs until the pitcher tired in the 6th or 7th until finally getting to him. This happened regardless if I was going up against a teams ace or their 5th starter. I chalk this up to having my User Contact at 2 but it got me thinking I might need to change things up a bit. Not only that, I was finding pitching with my 4th & 5th starters was a little too easy as well (except the last game I played where I got lit up for 6 runs after 5 innings).

Definitely looking forward to doing some experimenting here and adding my results to the discussion.

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion

Kind of off topic, but how does an increase in difficulty affect the CPU's playing ability? I want to increase difficulty to HoF, however I just finished perfecting my sliders, and don't really feel like having to spend forever tuning them up again. The human sliders are no big deal, because I already have a good idea of what to do there, but I was wondering if you guys noticed any thing the CPU does better/more of on the higher difficulty, that would result in me having to modify their sliders.

For example, if the CPU hits more home runs on HoF, or something like that.

Thanks in advance.

Also, if you are still having problems drawing enough "easy" walks, I've found that if you lower Pitch Control, but raise the Strike Frequency, you get a higher number of pitches that slightly miss out of the zone (including on 3-0) versus a fewer number of cases where a pitcher magically regains their control after throwing 3 straight balls.

I don't think I personally spent too much time on AS this year. I pitched there for a little while, but only hit there for the demo (and a game or two retail).

CPU swing and misses went down as soon as I jumped to HOF. By this I mean in a good way.

On OS, I see this general question a lot, but I want to thank you for being as specific as you are.

Keep in mind that there's really no way, via sliders, to match, let's say; the meter forgiveness on AS in HOF mode. What I'm trying to say is that their are difficulty levels for a reason, and no real formula for matching AS difficulty exactly on the HOF level. Though with some sliders being lowered on HOF, the levels could feel 'almost' identical. Just not 'exactly' identical, does this make sense?

My experience with the series says this is what happens when increasing difficulty...how, is up for to determine, my guesses are just that. Guesses.

User Pitching/CPU Hitting:
CPU misses less, foul slightly more.
CPU Strike outs decrease.
CPU singles increase.

User Hitting/CPU Pitching
User single decrease.
User home runs decrease.
User strike outs increase.

I'm sure there's others, but these are the ones I notice the most, and usually all for the better.

My observations aren't scientific though. Just observations.
