Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion
Just wanted to post some quick stats from my current franchise. I've been playing this franchise entirely with power at 2 and my current sliders from page one.
So far, so good..
6 games played
2B - 12
HR - 6
One thing I'm loving with power at 2 is the amount of HRs that just barely clear the wall. I was seeing so many no doubter type HRs with power at 5, 4, and even 3. I'm still seeing the occasional no doubter(just hit a contact swing no doubter with Brian McCann), but it's refreshing to see realistic HR distances with more consistency.
EDIT: Now at 9 games played, with 18 2B to 9 HR. Very happy with power at 2 so far.Last edited by Jgainsey; 04-22-2011, 05:54 PM.Now, more than everComment

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion
Been using these for the start of my 2nd season with my Tigers... I'm not sure if i'm sold, I bumped contact to 6 and CPU pitch consistency to 4.
Through 8 games, i'm dead last in the majors hitting .171. I've been one hit once, two hit twice and haven't had more that 7 hits in any game. I've walked 12 times in the 8 games and in the bottom 1/3 in strikeouts.
Pitching wise I have been nearly as dominant as the CPU. My team ERA is 3.10 and I'm coming off back to back to back 1 run performances. Really with the exception of one game vs. Texas, I've completely dominated the CPU offense. I've only walked 3 guys, and am 2nd in league in K's.
I realize its only been 8 games, but something with both offenses just doesn't feel right. I am a FAIRLY decent hitter this year, I check my PCI a lot and I do put a good amount of solid swings on the ball, just not getting anything resembling a rally. I've got 2 HR, 2 2B, and a 3B. Opposing pitchers just pound the strike zone against me, and yet I'm still not hitting. Since this is my 2nd season my line up is even better than the current Tigers line up.Twitch: Goblue81188Comment

Aside from human power at 2, my hitting sliders are very close to default. I think the batting average on my current franchise is in the upper .270's through 12 or 13 games. If you can hit on default HOF you should be able to handle these slider tweaks. And even with power at 2, I'm still averaging just over 1 HR a game, with about 2 2B a game as well.
.170 isn't out of the realm of possibility over the course of 8 games by any means, but only you can tell if it really feels to hard. Or maybe it's just a cold streak.Now, more than everComment

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion
I've been playing around with run speed at 1, among other things, and I'm loving it so far. I've actually had to dive for a ball in the outfield, and I see more balls off the wall, as opposed to catches at the wall. That speed burst seems to be greatly reduced the lower the overall fielder speed, and at 1 I feel like I'm not even seeing it at all.
Granted I haven't been testing it a very long time, so my sample size is quite small (about 3 or 4 games), but I'm definitely happy with it so far.
Edit: I swear the defense is a lot more realistic this way. I just saw an ESPN-esque behind the back double play by the CPU. There was no suction on either end, the fielder clearly had to reach for the ball and the transition was smooth and life-like. I say this because I believe fielder speed affects body speed as well, not just run speed, ie it affects a fielder's speed in reaching for the ball. But that's just a theory so far.
On top of that, it's visually appealing as well. The "speed burst" is minimal and looks more life-like. I have seen some slower animations, so perhaps there is something to your theory regarding body speed. But I haven't witnessed anything to this point to make me want to raise the slider, and this is playing with a poor defensive club in Pittsburgh.Comment

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion
I'm with you, Bobhead. I played my last five or so games with fielder speed at zero and really enjoyed the results. There are balls no one is going to get to (HUM or CPU), especially subpar OFs. I saw CPU Braun and Logan Morrison both dive for liners tailing away from them, only to miss the catch completely. I too come up short when appropriate, but can still track 'em down in the gap with Andrew McCutchen.

The question for me is how low I should keep them.Comment

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion
I'm also liking what I'm seeing from lowering fielder arms and run speed. The Show to me has always been a tad quicker than real life, and you will see more variety of plays unfolding with slower fielders. Also agree with slower body speed thing. It may be that the slider is slowing down the whole body movement as well. Cannot prove but it certainly feels like that's what's going on.
The question for me is how low I should keep them.
At this point, I'd lower it in a second if I knew how many clicks it would take to noticeably inflate offense.
Oh wait....I NEED more offense.
I may go from 4 to 3 later on. I'd like to finally get my average over .235. Last night is a perfect example of my struggles. Game one: 6 runs 12 hits. Game Two: 2 runs 2 hits....Ugh.Last edited by Heroesandvillains; 04-25-2011, 01:51 PM.Comment

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion
The assumption would be that more outs are falling for hits, but you still have to hit the ball, or make contact. That is unrelated to Fielder Speed.
Maybe I don't understand how handicapping the defensive abilities (lower arm strength, lower fielder speed) without bumping their reaction is a solution for the users ability to put the ball in play / find holes.
It's a universal slider, you're giving the CPU the same edge...loosing the ability to field a ball behind second base or throw a guy out from the foul line at third doesn't seem like a good trade off for a higher BABIP.
My two cents.Comment

Re: HOF Sliders/Statistics Disscussion
I completely agree with you guys. The player movement just looks more natural, and the players actually look like they have some real weight to them.
But yeah, how low do we go? At what point are too many balls dropping in the outfield? And what about the infielders.. at what point do they become to slow?Now, more than everComment

I don't believe there is a direct correlation between fielder Speed and Offense.

Obviously, it would be tough to prove whether or not sinking line drive X would or would not have fallen at let's say 3, instead of 5. But, my eyes tell me lowering speed increases hits.
Sure, I still need to execute, but I'd be executing regardless.Comment

Jgainsey, analog pitching AND hitting HAVE been tweaked.
Any thoughts? Impressions?Comment
