Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

Re: Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

After I do some default AS games, we'll decide which. To be honest, my gut is telling me that with some dropped sliders on AS, we'll find our spot.

Re: Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

Hero - you got me playing HOF. I'm not going back. The CPU plays like real Major Leaguers. As for the Dual Shock, I wonder if that makes a difference in a good way. I'm using a pure count system in my head (Explained below)

ILive - When I said "more taps" I mean I hold and release very quickly. Taps was a bad way to describe it. I actually say One Mississippi in my head when I pitch; that equals one second. When I need good control I hold it down for a half a second. So a half a second would be me saying "One" and not the "Mississippi"

Hero - I'll start a franchise with a good staff... Would Philly be good?

Or we could raise CPU contact and timing a click also (to 6).

Jcern, a previously active OS member, posted a pre-patch AS Classic slider set with basically these two changes. I say 'basically' because he was dealing with those gail-force winds (so he dropped and power, which I had to do pre-patch as well). He claimed to have played 50 games.

I wonder where he is now? I'd love to pick his brain for a second.

Definitely.

If you go 10 games, and don't dominate at all, we'll know something is wrong.

I still think if I'm testing with you on HOF, that we should bring consistency to 7.

I'll continue with FLA and NYY.

You should continue with KC also.

Why don't you start from game one of the season too? Maybe the tired CPU hitters are helping you out. Just rotate with both teams. Select opening day, and play whichever game your team is playing on that day's schedule.

I'll replay (LOL!) my Josh Johnson start against the Mets.

When I restarted my KC Franchise - I started from the beginning of the season and not May 1st

What do you mean rotate with both teams? You mean with KC and Philly franchise?

BTW can you choose another team in the NL besides Philly. I don't like Philly I'm from NY! LOL

ATL?

Who else has a good staff?...

SF?

I could do Philly. I only hate them as a Yankees fan, so I think I could stomach it.

Re: Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

I'll use the Mariners and the Giants, makes sense to me. Starting with consistency at 7 and on the difficulty of HoF.
Is everyone fine with Fielder Speed and such?

Re: Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

I've got a couple OS'ers PM'ing me later with their Classic AS sliders.

If HOF's a bust, we'll look over those and drop down a level.

I'm good. No objections here.

Re: Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

Geronimo...

ATL and KC?

Is me doing NYY and PHI too much? Should I stick with FLA?

I don't know...I'd really love to deal with an ace. You know, just so I know it's possible, if that makes sense?

Yeah. KC and SEA should be bad enough for this test. That, and I still have Burnett, Garcia and Nova on New York. I think there's plenty of terrible to go around. Ratings wise, anyway...amoungst all three of us.

I am open to suggestions, however.

Re: Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

Sounds like a deal, anyone wanna type up the new sliders? Consistency to 7 and that's the only change?

Re: Classic Pitching Questions and Discussion

I'm going to skip thee 'default AS' and just start playing with consistency at 7. M's staff isn't too bad, to be completely honest!

Did you try it on AS...or are you just skipping it?
