Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Is anyone else not seeing anyone get thrown out on a steal to 2nd base?

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Just tried playing a game with these settings and early impressions have me very impressed. For me, hitting has been really hard, so going into this game, I had pitching on All-Star and hitting on Veteran difficulty. I played the A's vs Mets and ended up losing 2-0.

R H E
Oak 2 7 0
NYM 0 5 0

Both teams had a couple of scoring chances during the game, but could not take advantage of them as the A's/Mets had several runners LOB. In terms of the game's scoring, the computer scored a run in the 4th inning on a fielders choice (runners were on 2nd & 3rd w/ one out, and a ball was hit deep to the SS), and in the 5th inning, Daric Barton hit a solo home run, a crushed 392 feet shot to right field.

Since buying MLB The Show 12, the one constant I've had is that there has not been much offense in the games I have played. The most run's I've seen so far was 5, so hopefully over time that changes. Part of the reason why many runs have not been scored is probably due to the fact in each exhibition game I play, the ace of the pitching staff is pitching. I'm sure once I start a season, you'll have the 4/5 rotation starters that will give up more runs, depleted bullpens and other factors will lead to more runs overall.

As for my hitting problems, hitting on veteran is something that will probably work out well for me. The main reason I went from All-Star to Veteran was that a couple days ago, I got no-hit by Derek Lowe while playing as the Dodgers. They won the game 5-0 and although I had a couple of close calls, I could not get one freakin hit all game and that bugged me...I also struck out 12 times which was kind of annoying as well!

In making the switch to Veteran, I have seen increased contact, and slowing down the speed has helped too. The game I played w/ these sliders, I struck out five times and I was okay with that. I guess just getting hits and players on base alone with one of the worst offensive teams in baseball was a welcomed change.

I'm leaning towards doing a season with the Minnesota Twins, so I better get used to the lack of offense as Target Field is a pitchers ballpark and there are not many runs scored there.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

For those wondering about how these sliders work with different pitching and hitting interfaces, I played with Analog batting and one game with Analog pitching and one game with Pulse. They work just fine. One thing to remember is that the sliders, as they are now, don't deviate from default all that much. Especially for pitching and hitting. Most are fielding and baserunning changes.

One thing I did is lower the wind effect by a couple of clicks and reliever stamina on both sides by 3 clicks because they're able to pitch far too long, IMO. That's it though.

I have done it a couple times.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Just played my first game with the sliders on the first page.

LAD: 2 6 0
CHI: 4 5 0

W: Garza (7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 9 Ks)
L: Kershaw (6 IP, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 7 Ks)
S: Marmol

Extra Base Hits:
LAD: 2 (HR, 2B)
CHI: 3 (3B, 2 HR)

Strike Percentage:
LAD: 63% (76 Strikes, 45 Balls, 121 Total Pitches)
CHI: 67% (87 Strikes, 43 Balls, 130 Total Pitches)

Notes:

This was a pitcher's duel all the way, as you can see with by the lack of offense. Both Kersh and Garza were both on their games. I had a solo HR with Loney in the 2nd inning, but Soriano came through with an RBI double in the bottom of the 4th to tie it. I pushed across another run in the 5th, by walking with A.J. Ellis, who was singled home by Mark Ellis. The only walk I gave up with Kershaw really hurt me, as I walked Marlon Byrd with two out in the 6th, who was drove in by LaHair's 2-run blast. Soriano came back with another right after LaHair, which sealed it for the Cubs.

I'm using the sliders as TNK has posted on the first page, with the difference being that I am using Analog Pitching. The game felt really smooth, and I'll chalk the low offensive output to the two aces that were on the mound. I hate that I struck out so much (11 times), but 9 of those were Garza's. I just gotta learn not to swing at so much junk.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

TNK, I see you have CPU strike frequency at 4. After playing more games with this test set, do you think this setting will need to be lowered at all?

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Game 2:

LAD: 6 10 1
CHI: 3 6 0

Win: C. Billingsley (7.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 Ks)
Loss: R. Dempster (5.1 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 5 Ks)
Save: J. Guerra

Extra Base Hits:
LAD: 4 - 2B (2), HR (2)
CHI: 4 - 2B, 3B (2), HR

Strikeouts:
LAD: 8
CHI: 7

Strike Percentage:
LAD: 67% (77 Strikes, 38 Balls, 115 Total Pitches)
CHI: 67% (91 Strikes, 46 Balls, 137 Total Pitches)

Notes:

Cubs manufactured a run in the 2nd inning NL style. Soriano doubled to start the inning, Soto sac flies him to 3rd, Stewart grounds out to second to score the run. Dodgers manufacture their own run in the 3rd, with A.J. Ellis doubling to start the inning, Billingsley sacrifices him to third, and Gordon singles him home. Tied until the 6th, when Gordon drag bunts his way on and steals second. Kemp walks on a 3-2 passed ball, which allows Gordon to advance to 3rd. Next batter is Ethier, who hits a monster shot to center for a 3 run HR. Billingsley hangs a curveball to Soto in the 7th, and he crushes it to left for a solo HR. He then walks the next batter, but gets out of the inning with only the one earned run. Still in the 7th, Uribe and A.J. Ellis both single to start the inning, and are sacrificed to 2nd and 3rd by C-Bills. Gordon hits a grounder to first, and Uribe scores. Billingsley gets the first 2 batters out to start the 8th, but gives up a triple to Castro, and a scoring single to LaHair. Kenley Jansen comes in to stop the rally. Ethier hits his second HR in the bottom of the 8th. Guerra strikes out two in the bottom of the 9th for the save. Monster game for Ethier (3-4, 2B, 2 HR).

Much better game at the plate for me. Felt like I was seeing the ball a lot better, and I was able to cut down my strikeouts by 3. Cubs were really aggressive at the plate all game, which kept my pitch count down, and allowed me to get to the 8th with him. My strike percentage was pretty high with him until the 7th and 8th innings when he started getting tired. Kind of concerned about the lack of offense by the CPU, but need more games to test.

Off to the rubber game in this series.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Game 3:

LAD: 3 7 1
CHI: 4 11 2

Win: P. Maholm (7.1 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 10 Ks)
Loss: T. Lilly (6.0 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 Ks)
Save: C. Marmol

Extra Base Hits:
LAD: 3 - 2B (2), HR
CHI: 5 - 2B (5)

Strikeouts:
LAD: 13
CHI: 6

Strike Percentage:
LAD: 61% (74 Strikes, 48 Balls, 122 Total Pitches)
CHI: 70% (87 Strikes, 38 Balls, 125 Total Pitches)

Notes:

None....I HATE striking out more than 10 times a game. It REALLY REALLY REALLY bugs the crap out of me.

I was back to my swinging at junk habits, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of strikeouts. I will say that Maholm was just mercilessly pounding the strike zone. I didn't have many hitters counts AT ALL. Good news is the CPU offense rebounded very nicely from the previous two games.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

TNK, quick question...

It seems that most slider guys are clicking "solid hits" down a click to 4... Why? Are yup seeing too many 2B's? Too many HR's? Are light power guys hitting too many HR's?

With solid hits @ 4, are light hitting players still reaching the fences.

Thanks in advance, look forward to following your Red Sox franchise this year ;-)

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

What can be done in order to make the runs-hit ratio better?

MLB average is around .45-.5 but my ratio is lower despite having around 8 hits a game.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Just finished a Spring Training with this sliders. I've seen many full counts for both teams (with pulse pitching). Walked some. I'm not very efficient on batting but i improve (a bit). I'm gonna try again with these sliders (seem interesting).
You'll see that my only run was scored on a fielding error. i blew some scoring chances too.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

I put Managers hook to 6. Starters Stamina at 4 and relief stamina at 3 with using your sliders and so far no complaints at all. I'll post my game later on

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Way better. I was able to draw 3 walks while i gave up 1. I hit more and better. More patience. But not seen an error yet for my team.
Need more test.

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

Okay, I normally don't jump to conclusions when it comes to slider testing, but I'm so unbelievably pissed right now, that I can't help it. The CPU Pitching is simply unbearable, at least for me. I'm playing my fourth game with TNK's sliders, but I've played a total between 12-15 games since I got the game at midnight on the 6th. Still a small-ish sample size, yes, but it's enough to notice the pattern of the CPU pitching.

The chain reaction I've been experiencing goes like this:

1. CPU throws first pitch strike seemingly 80% of the time.
2. CPU throws strike two on the black seemingly 80% of the time.
3. CPU throws third pitch out of the zone to change my eye level.
4. CPU throws perfect pitch again on the black whether it be on the outside corner, inside corner, down in the zone, or up in the zone, which pretty much obligates me to swing, which most of the time results in a strikeout.

The fact that the CPU deals two strikes to begin every at-bat leaves me feeling like I'm inheriting an 0-2 count every time that I step into the box. This leaves me two options:

1. I swing early in the count to make contact and either get a hit or an out (obviously). Either way, unless I'm stringing several hits together, the CPU pitch count remains very low, which allows him to go deep into the ball game. We're talking in to the 8th inning....The worst part is, the main reason I'm swinging early in the count is to avoid being struck out. Normally, I occasionally swing on the first pitch to show the CPU that he can't get that first pitch over all the time, but right now, that doesn't seem to matter.

2. I try to remain patient and work the count. Given the data that I've collected since I got the game, this results in a very high number of strikeouts, which leads to the CPU's confidence shooting through the roof, which leads to more strikeouts, and him still going deep into the game.

I've been playing The Show since '09, and I've never been a super stellar hitter, but I will say that I'm a patient hitter. I've always had a higher than average strikeout rate, but this is ridiculous. Yes, I occasionally swing at junk, sometimes more often than not, but the current settings at default are just killing me. The games that I played last night were fun, but the constant was this: CPU pounds the zone, has a really high strike percentage, which leads to a high strikeout rate. There were very few times that I got into any hitters counts, and even counts didn't happen very often either. It just seems like I'm in 0-2 and 1-2 counts ALL THE TIME, and that just kills the fun in the game for me.

My breaking point was my current game - LAD vs. CIN:

Here's Mike Leake's (4th starter) stat line through 5 innings:

5.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 Ks
46, Strikes, 16 Balls, 62 Total Pitches, 74% STRIKES

Yes, within those 8 strikeouts, I may have chased 2 or 3 bad pitches. Fine, I take responsibility for that, but the majority of the time, the CPU is throwing pitches that are right on the edge of the strike zone that need to be swung at, but I just can't hit it. I would expect this from the ace's (Halladay, Kershaw, King Felix), and even that's a stretch, but getting this from 4 and 5 starters is just ruining my experience.

Sorry to drudge up the thread with this rant but.......(^*(^(&()*^%(&%*&%$^%#$&^#&%$%$&*^%$*&%* ^)^*&)(^()^^&)&*^

Re: TNK - 2012 Realism Sliders Thread

these are the TNK settings for CPU pitching. I can't agree with you 100% of your evaluation of the standard at bat but i know it can be frustrating.

CPU Pitcher Control - 5
CPU Pitcher Consistency - 5
CPU Strike Frequency - 4

I have a set of sliders that has played extremely well for me thus far. CPU pitching is different almost every at-bat and it plays realistically with a mid 60's percentage of strikes, if you have a good eye. try them out and let me know.

CPU Pitcher Control: 4
CPU Pitcher Consistency: 3
CPU Strike Frequency: 3
