    I have noticed a lot of doubles and triples though. I need to play more games to get a feel if they are off wack. I've heard other people talk about this in other sliders.
    to cut down doubles and triple you can increase fielder reaction and/or fielder speed. when i had those two sliders turned up however a lot of the "shoe string" catches were made (more than realistic) and outfielders got to balls they never should have been able to.

      Re: Marcus' veteran sliders

      nystyle, looks like after 9 games my pitching is too good(ranked in top 3 in most catergoies) and my batting still needs work (rank 28-30 in all hitting catergories). I'm considering moving up to All-Star pitching and staying at Veteran hitting.

      Hitting wise I know I should be hitting better. I've left a lot of meatballs over the plate (which I have come to understand the Veteran level will give you more often).

      What's your thoughts with moving up to All-Star pitching with the same sliders? I was also considering going back to TNK sliders but with Vet Hitting and AS Pitching (their's is set for AS/AS).

        I need to find this again.
        I am beyond frustrated with the game right now to where it is not enjoyable. There was a time where even losing I had fun but not so much lately.

              I tried a few weeks ago and got slammed as well on AS pitching. For now, I decided to stay with these sliders and give it one more shot. Vet Hitting/AS Pitching. I'll let you know how my next 9 games go

                      LOL. I just played a game with the new 4 settings. It was good. And yeah pitching with 4 at control was tough for my pitcher who has good control, so I can imagine what it would be like with an average control pitcher. My line score was

                      ARZ 2-11-0
                      STL 3-11-0

                      STL is a powerful lineup and I think they could have crushed some pitches I left over the plate. Even though Im tempted to go up to AS pitching, I'm going to let Veteran ride for another 8 games. See what the results are for my pitching abilities

                        just played with control at 5 and consistency at 4. I had to throw 33 pitches to get out of the top of the first!! I loved it though. Was down 3-0 until the bottom of the 4th when Pridie did it again. a 3 run HR to tie it. It remained 3-3 until bottom 7 when daniel murphy had a 2 run triple. they brought in sean green and then thole pinch hit with an rbi single to make it 6-3. that would be your final score.

                        MIL 3 10 2
                        NYM 6 12 0

                        possible changes:

                        marcus said he moved power for the cpu up to 4 and solid hits down to 2. he said power on 4 with solid hits at 3 equaled giving up 6 HR's in 2 games to KC then another 5 in 2 games vs PIT. he also tried cpu pitch control on 4 but didnt see any changes.

                          I would be up for moving the power up to 4 and kepping the solid hits at 3 for the CPU. Vs me, I'm seeing solid contact by the CPU but nothing crazy. But I haven't seen any homeruns... Worth considering.

                              It's still early in my season (Only 11 games in). So I'll save judgement untill 18 games. The teams I've played weren't playing well before they played me, so maybe they are just cold...

                                Well, after beating the Giants in series opener 2-1 and totally dominating their batters, I had to make the change early. In my 2nd game went with All-Star pitching with the same sliders (only other change was taking the suggestion of moving human pitching consistency to 4). Results seemed pretty realistic. Against my #4 starter the line score was:

                                SF 5-11-0
                                ARZ 0-4-1

                                Gave up 2 homeruns - both were meatballs to good players that I shouldn't have thrown.

                                My hitting was bad because I couldn't pick the ball up off of Jonathan Sanchez funky release. Mofo has a hitch in his release and you can't see the ball right out of his hand, thus I had less reaction time read his 95 mph fastball mixed in with his slow slider and change. Kicked my ***.

                                Anyway overall, my team is batting .220, I'm thinking about switching from zone to timming hitting. Currently I use zone but only move the PCI when I'm guessing a location or the pitcher has a tendency.
