Timing Hitting Sliders

[BleacherCreature]

Anyone know of a good set of sliders for timing hitting that results in something other than an infield pop-up, weak grounder or foul ball?
Seems everytime I have a favorable hitter's count all I can do are the 3 things mentioned above even with good hitters.
I've fouled out to the first baseman 6 times in the game through 5 innings, the CPU pitcher is over 75 pitches because everything I make contact with is foul.
This is on All-Star hitting level, every slider default except pitch speed which is at 3.

</td> <td style="background-image: url(" vbulletin="" images="" quotes="" 00.gif="" );="" width:="" 100%;="" height:="" 1px;="" width="100%"> Slight Visual and AI update , dated 4-10 , I basically turned off the Strike Zone , Hot Zones and API OFF to give a more even playing ground and more of a oraganic look and feel .

OK I swear these are my very last tweaks IN THIS ORANGE COLOR do to all the intangables and cpu AI factor lol .So THESE SHOULD DO IT UNTIL THE NEXT PATCH if gameplay isnt effected and these last edits mainly effect fielding only .
There on SPORTSCONNECT NOW under DORISMARYS VETERAN 3-31

Hi I did a few more FINAL changes in GREEN since the last update AND THEY ARE ON SPORTSCONNECT NOW under DORISMARYS VETERAN SIM 3-29 as I now think they are PERFECTED WITH ALL THE EBS AND FLOW THIS GAME HAS as I blended the fielding near perfect so check it out

HUGE SLIDER UPDATE ALL CHANGES IN RED DATED 3-26 AS I BASED THESE OFF OF MY FINDINGS ON MY ALLSTAR SLIDERS SO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION ON SPORTSCONNECT DATED 3-26 AND SORT BY THAT DATE TO FIND IT EASY DORISMARYS VETERAN SIM SLIDERS
I PLAY BOTH VETERAN LEVEL FOR HITTING AND PITCHING and Use only buttons controls for all functions NO sticks or meters .
IMPORTANT !!! TWO easy fixes are if your hitting to good or bad adjust pitch speed and if cpu isnt hitting enough or to good raise or lower your Hu Pitcher Control

Well If your looking at Veteran Level then your probably like me and prefer a more enjoyable sim slider based gaming experience where you always feel like whatever you do it really matters without always wanting to break your controller when pitcher confidence takes over in key situations then maybe these are for you .

****BUT PLEASE Dont judge them after a few games short games because as we all know this isnt a real slider based game and in my last two games I won 6 to 3 with 6 combined HRs in Chi AL and the next in ATL I lost 3-2 and struckout 12 times in a pitchers duel but you get the point .
Now I only tested these in the Playoffs well over 30 games as its all I play with my DMs 25 man Rosters that dont scramble after spring training but if I recall it shouldnt matter what you play as SCEA said theres no boost in Season to Playoff progression.

THIS IS HOW I PLAY SO FOR BEST RESULTS TRY AND PLAY THEM EXACTLY OR CONTACT ME ON POSSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE * with a few simple tweaks on key sliders I can make these easier or tougher so if you see (***) adjust them as needed or if you want a real challenge use the second options .

HU VETERAN LEVEL SLIDERS :

HU Contact 4
Hu Power 5
Hu Timing 5
Hu Foul Frequency 5 or * depending on your skill level lower or raise it as I use it to control Ks and pitch count but if too many Ks use contact swing on two strikes.
Human Solid Hits 2
Hu Starter Stamina 5
Hu Reliever Stamina 0
Hu Pitcher Control [COLOR="Red"5, [/color] if you like a little less control try 4 but I was getting too many location issues where it didnt even feel like I was playing at key times .
Hu Pitcher Consistency 6 (see above) anything lower and theres too many wild pitches.

CPU VETERAN LEVEL SLIDERS:

Cpu Contact 4 OR 5 IF THE CPU ISNT HITTING ENOUGH
Cpu Power 5 if any higher too many HR and not enough extra base hits
Cpu Timing 5
Cpu Foul Frequency 5 but you gotta earn your Ks
Cpu Solid Hits 2
Cpu Starter Stamina 5
Cpu Reliever Stamina 0
Cpu Pitcher Control 5

Cpu Pitcher Consistency 6 perfect blend with hu power at 5 and easier to draw walks if you are patient another nice blend while limting CPU wild pitches while supporting good cpu pitching efforts but 6 seems perfect while 5 still was iffy at key times on wild pitches at key times and 6 blends perfect with my Hu bat power at 5.

Cpu Strike Frequency 1 OR 0 BUT ONE SEEMS PERFECT
Cpu Manager Hook 5 ANY HIGHER THE CPU MANAGER CAN BECOME SPARKY
Cpu Pickoffs 0or * 1 , at 1 its a nice honest setting if you get to cute but since I use Auto Baserunner and 0 works for me .

GLOBAL SLIDERS

PITCH SPEED 0 to 5 BUT REMEMBER THIS IS THE KEY SLIDER TO ADJUSTING ALL YOUR HITTING ISSUES SO FEEL FREE TO USE ANYTHING THATS FAIR FROM 0 TO 10 , JUST A WONDERFUL FIX ALL WITHOUT HAVE TO BECOME A TWEAK O HOLIC and I use 0

Fielding Errors 7 , just perfect at 7 on Veteran level where guys like Uggla struggle and you'll also see alot of great animations and unclean plays that feel and look very realistic !

Throwing Errors 7 * its seems pretty good on that setting but may even bump it to 8 as I use assisted FLD with button control with no meters .

Fielder Run Speed 1SEEMS PERFECT AND MAKES ALL PLAYS SUPER SMOOTH WITH ANIMATIONS[/color]
Fielder Reaction 5
Fielder Arm Strength 3
Baserunner Speed [color="Red"]5 GOTTA KEEP THAT AT 5 OR IT MAKES STEALING VERY HARD AND IT BLENDS NICE WITH ARM STRENGTH3
Baserunner Steal Ability 5
Baserunner Steal Frequency 9 SEEMS FINE AS I WASNT SEEING MUCH HITTING OR RUNNING ON VETERAN LEVEL PLUS YOU CAN GET THE CPU ON PICKOFFS AND RUNDOWNS REAL COOL
Wind 3
Injury Frequency 5 But adjust to your liking as I control all teams to mimic Current MLB Rosters .

Thanks P for all your suggestions and I cant believe Im set with my sliders already

Re: Timing Hitting Sliders

Man, that whole post looks like a tie-dyed shirt.


I will give them a whirl for a little while.
I actually playd a game earlier with all default sliders just moved down to veteran hitting level and had a decent game. I was actually able to get hits on pitches that I felt I should have hit.
Lost 3-1 to the White Sox as the Cards.
I had the winning run (Holliday) at the plate with 2 on and 2 outs and hit a flyball into the gap in left center that Pierre ran down for the final out.
I think if fielder run speed were lower that ball would have fallen in for probably a game tying double but at the same time that's a ball Juan Pierre should get to.

Whose sliders are these? I'm getting good results with these. Aces are dominant and scrubs are.... scrubs. Thanks

Re: Timing Hitting Sliders

Those sliders are working great for me.

Using the Cards. Just blew out the Stros 10-1. Now I'm locked in a 1-1 tie in the 7th vs the royals. Wainwright vs Miner. Ace pitchers and I'm struggling at the plate.

He has updated these.

Re: Timing Hitting Sliders

Maybe I'll try those sliders above.....it will be my last ditch effort before resorting to throwing the game out of the window.

I use timing and have been trying everything and coming up empty.
Default All-Star was great for avg. walks, but all I did was hit singles for 10 games.
Veteran Default was too much in my favor.
The TNK sliders just felt broken.
The HOF sliders probably gave me some of my most realistic games - but for every 1 realistic game there'd be 3 games like the OP explained. So that wasn't very promising for Franchise.....as I said, every few games It'd be amazing, but when you lump in the other games - batting .220 and averaging just under 3 runs a game isn't very realistic.

I'll cross my fingers that these work.

Re: Timing Hitting Sliders

If using those make these changes as well, gameplay is awesome

Latest Update : Wind to 2 , Fld Run Speed to 2 and Fld Reaction 4 .

Re: Timing Hitting Sliders

I'm starting to agree with what this guy posted in his slider set too. You want it more difficult, up the pitch speed on batting.

Have not messed with pitcher control yet because classic pitching is working fine for me stat wise so far. I will lower the control though if it becomes too easy.

Still enjoying these sliders.

Just finished my series up against the royals. Won 2-1, Lost 2-1 and won the last game 7-3. Hit one HR in the series. Walked an average of 2x a game struck out an average of 7. Got to be more patient at the plate or a tougher pitching squad will tear me up.

I'm using that offset to the inside custom camera talked about in the forums by the way. I could probably hit better with my normal cam which is wide 3, but I find my self fearing and not doing so well when I am at a disadvantage at the plate. Plus feeling satisfied at being patient and getting a walk or a hit. Plus when I have an advantage, I feel like I can go high risk for a big reward. Great cam.
