Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Has anyone played with the starting pitcher stamina? My guys are becoming pretty fatigued around the 70-80 pitch mark. I'm using pulse pitching.

Haven't played with the sliders yet, but did use them to tweak from default. I used your fielders run speed, baserunner speed, arm strength, base stealing ability, all with excellent results.

Game just feels tighter and looks more baseballish.

I have no problem throwing 100+ pitches

You are probably putting too much effort into your pitches

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

yesterday i watched opening day marlyns vs cardinals..
which valor in Pitch speed could i set to match the ball speed like real life??
i know this would be impossible to play, but i want to give it a try.
do you think at 10????

I'm using pulse pitching.. I'm fairly good at getting the smaller circles.

You can add me to those who are worried about too many home runs... All sliders are updated, and three games in with the Twins Mauer has 4, Morneau 4, Willingham 2, Douhmit 2, etc, etc.

I just went 8 innings with Masterson and threw 111 pitches with pulse pitching.

Are you on All-Star difficulty? If so, maybe bump yourself up to the next Difficulty......I don't have reports of anyone just crushing HR left & right

What Hitting Mechanic are you using? Timing? Zone?

Are you using Power Swings? If so, use "X" Normal Swing 99% of the time

Are you using Guess Pitch? If so, stop!!

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

TNK, not sure if you've addressed this question before or not, but do you sim Franchise CPU games under these sliders or default sliders or something entirely different?

I'm using analog.

I never use power swings unless it is a 3-0 count.

I have guess pitch turned off.


I will say that I haven't been crushing them as much in the next 2 or 3 games but that is mostly because of the annoying pitchers I've been facing. One's with a high 80s to low 90s fastball with a huge sweeping curve or Zitoesque 12-6 curve that goes like 68 mph.

I still find myself being late on most fastballs though (unless they are under 92).

One annoyance I'm having with pitching (I'm using pulse pitching) is even when i get the smallest circle possible my guy still throws up fat pitches about 50% of the time unless I intentionally aim out of the zone to prevent it from happening.

I sim with these sliders.....did it last year and the results were fine....I don't see any issue that stands out this year either

I like meter pitching all day over using Pulse

Pulse is a great concept.....but I just don't see the results I want. It takes forever to while you sit there trying to time the pulses....I highly recommend switching to meter

I also recommend that you switch to Zone hitting

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Ever since I played my first NCAA baseball game with analog controls I just can't go back to button hitting. It just feels so much more realistic for me.

I don't really have "time" issues with pulse pitching. I usually hit a good circle in the amount of time or less than it would take to hit the button presses on meter pitching. Only issue has been it seems like even with my best pitchers I throw up some hella fat offspeed pitches even when I hit the circle as close to perfect as possible.

I mean I like not being able to paint the edges every single time but it seems like I have no pinpoint control unless my pitcher is pitching the game of his life. Guess I'll mess around a little bit with some tweaks for the pitching settings to get a little more reliable performance out of my pitchers.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

after a tons of match in franchise mode, the only slider that i would change is timing for the cpu.. maybe the best balanced valor could be 4, it is very rare do a strike out, many batters seem to became ichiro on the plate when the team is losing and it could help to lower ERA a bit also. ERA in franchise mode is to higher than reality one..

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

What up man? I tear pitching up but cant hit worth crap. I just bump down to vet though. Im using timing swing. And meter pitching
