Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

What HITTING and PITCHING types are you using?

Are you using the latest set in post #1 of the thread?

Using timing and pulse. Scoring comes to easy. The CPU can't touch me. Will increase there contact. Played a bunch.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Had a great game last night with these sliders!!

It was Tigers vs. Rays (me)... Fister vs. Big Game James

James dominated the Tigers thru 8 innings giving up 4 hits with 8 K's... I won 2-0... Tigers had 5 hits and Rays had 8 hits...

Damn fellas you made this awesome game even better!!!!! LOVE these sliders!!

I would recommend making one change... Lower foul balls for Human & CPU... I saw a ton of foul balls every inning for both sides. Otherwise... awesome, awesome sliders!!

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Hey TNK, thanks for the advice all star is alot more challenging than veteran. Was wondering though im having alot of trouble getting good timing on 4sfb and sometimes 2sfb(always late or too late or very late). is it just me cuz im always watching for the heat and because of that i miss out on breaking balls sometimes. im the mets so i know the stats are down but wright is .202 with 1hr and 4 rbis after april. is there something i should tweak up like human timing slider or solid hits? not sure cuz i dont wanna do much anything to these sliders cuz im lovin the way it plays with them. thanks.

I would experiment with some custom batting cameras......it just may be the way you are seeing the pitches

What batting camera are you using.

Ok I will do that.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

OK. First time using these sliders.
Let me start off by saying I am having a lot of problems hitting this year. I just can't seem to do anything right.

I was Boston.
Used Pulse pitching with Timing hitting (on Veteran).

Scored the only run of the game in the 12th on a throwing error, sac. bunt and a single.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Have been trying this set since you guys started this up... Love em' and I will try the complete set tomorrow. I have to say that I really dislike "Timing" hitting, and I love Pulse Pitching. I dont think changing these 2 controls would make any drastic changes in results, right? Great work by the way guys.

Im the same way. I prefer zone hitting and pulse pitching. I will load these sliders up and see how they stack up with zone hitting and pulse pitching.

First game using the Official V1.0 sliders.

Just couldn't get any consistent offense going. Nothing because of sliders. Colby Lewis had me all messed up with his off speed stuff.

Overall, great game though. Felt good.

Also my first game trying out only using Normal Swing.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

I'm using Meter pitching and I love it... But which method does everyone prefer?... Meter or Pulse.

And damn some of these umps are stubborn and won't give me anything just outside of the strike zone!!!

Also... Is there anything we can change to get CPU hitters to chase pitches out of the zone?

I use the Meter.

And I get the CPU to chase some pitches from time to time. Just gotta mix up your pitches...type, location, speed, etc.

Hitting is still to easy on all star. Just scred 15 runs on 5 homers. Timing.

Decided to do a home-home with Texas. This time I came out victorious. Ortiz jacked 2 curveballs. That was pretty much my offense.

It was my best pitching performance to date. I was on fire with Lester until he gave up that one run in the 8th and loaded bases. But I brought in Jenks and he got Young to ground into double play and then had a flawless 9th.

Gotta work on my strikeouts when batting. When I get to 2 strikes, I get nervous and swing at bad pitches on occassion.

Good game though still again.
