TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

With CPU Strike Frequency at 4 the CPU pounds the strike zone too much.....with it at 3 we are getting Strike % between (60-68%) which I think is a good number. With Strike Frequency at 4 nobody was ever drawing more than 2 walks off a pitcher.

Foul Frequency at 4 or 5 was producing marathon at bats with a ton of foul balls which caused pitch counts to get too high too soon. Lowering it increases balls down the line that just stay fair and it also increases swing and misses on balls way off the plate that batters were just getting a piece of.

Some sliders need to be adjusted not to make the game easier.....but to get certain nuances tuned to where we need them to be to produce a realistic game.

Play 5 to 10 games with the sliders listed in Post #1 of the thread and then report back with your findings and you can always make an adjustment to them for your personal game. But I don't modify the slider set based on a random suggestion by a poster who doesn't give feedback with definitive results from games played using the sliders and data tp support their suggestion.

2 more questions:

- Why is difference between CPU and HUMAN Pitch Control set to 4 and 5?

- I always used Pitch Speed at 5. You use 4. Should I change it?

Oh, and you haven't answered about the Solid hits...

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Like Fenway mentioned the other day... I recommend everyone moving CPU Pitch Consistency to 3... It works really great... CPU pitchers don't constantly paint the black now!!! I've increased my walks as well!!

Good find Fenway

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Maybe I still need some testing, but in my last two game against the Yankees, Pineda thew 58% and 59% of strikes in above 100-100 pitches. I have taken 62% of pitches, witch is very suprising (I'm not that disciplined) In the other hand, my Lester was 76% of strikes, but that depends on my pitching style. I report back later? i will try against true Aces...

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

I absolutely love these sliders along with the 2 little changes I made... Makes this game SO much better for me!

I moved Pitch Speed to 3 (I'm making much more solid and better contact now that I'm not late on pitches anymore )

Along with Fenway's recommendation about CPU Pitcher Consistency to 3 (Like I said before CPU pitchers doesn't paint the black all the time now )

I'm going to try moving the Pitch Speed to 3. I can't catch up to a 97MPH fastball to save my life! Felipe Paulino of the Royals destroyed me!

DO IT!!! I was having the same problem as you but after the change I can hit those upper 90's pitches... Now I'm getting perfect or just early timing, sometimes I'll get a few just late (But that's because I'm looking for a different pitch)... I definitely recommend players that are having trouble with timing to put Pitch Speed at 3, I'm SO glad I did!!

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

TNK... I agree with nothing needs to be changed!! These sliders are awesome and play a very good game of baseball!!

Just one thing I'm still struggling with is dominating the CPU offense! I see you don't have that problem in the games you play however... I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I have every pitching slider set to what you have and I pitch on All-Star using Meter.

Start pitching with the ball marker to FADE or if you want a REAL CHALLENGE....change the ball marker to OFF

The CPU will hit

Solid Hits is set to 3 beause at 5 or 4 almost every ball hit was right on the screws......Solid Hits at 3 produces choppers, bloops, flairs, slow rollers, etc.


There is a big difference in hit variety with Solid hits at 3

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

I think Pitch Speed at 4 is perfect. Pitchers with a great FB/change up are devastating just like they should be. CPU Pitcher consistency at 3 is just right too, these sliders just feel right in the other areas think I'm gonna stick with 'em for a while.

Believe me, while I wish I still had an eagle eye and could see every pitch perfectly out of the pitchers hand, I just don't have the reflexes anymore! More important about the consistency at 3 is that it also rattles the pitchers confidence more easily if you string together some hits, thus making them more hittable.. A few more meatballs to add to the mix

TNK (and others)---what sliders will you use when simulating other teams games? All defaults?

The sliders used when playing......I don't think sliders hace an effect on Simulations, only games you actually play.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

I don't know what it was but the CPU finally pounded my pitching!!!!! I was using Royals vs. Blue Jays... Chen vs. Alvarez

I lost 8-3... Both teams had 11 hits... Blue Jays had 3 HR's along with 2 2B's... Royals had 1 HR along with 4 2B's

But damn I love Pitch Speed & CPU Pitcher Consistency at 3!!

I'm gonna have to try that.

How is your contact/offense with Pitch Speed at 4?
