CPU vs CPU Sliders advice????

[kaz23golf]

I have watched 45 games in my franchise and feel the game plays really well out of the box. Now, after saying that I have looked through the stats in my chise and realised I need to see a few more triples, doubles and strike outs. I also lead the league in GIDP and last in the league in stolen bases. I play as the White Sox so being last in the league in stolen bases is expected but what I need to fix in this catergory is the fact that my team is the only one in the league to have been caught stealing more than successful.

I play with default sliders w/ 10 pitch speed as of now and would like some suggestions on what to change.

Thanks for any help

Are you running all games as CPU vs. CPU? I'd say you shouldn't bother duplicating the effort and just look at what people have done in all those CPU threads. Don't know why but the way to play the game has gotten quite popular this year it seems and there are a few choices for a slider set, depending on what you want.

I guess because the game has gotten realistic to the point.... ya start thinking why am I controlling this, shouldn't it be playing itself?

Lowering Fielder Arm Strength will give you slightly more doubles and triples, and a lot fewer double plays.
Lowering Fielder Run Speed will give you a lot more doubles and triples, and slightly fewer double plays.
Increasing Baserunner Run Speed will give you a lot more doubles and triples, and a lot fewer double plays, but will visually look pretty unrealistic. This is the most efficient solution statistically, but honestly if you plan on watching these games I'd really shy away from this option.

Pick which ever one you feel is more appropriate.

I would lower only Timing or Contact, but not both. I myself am currently testing the game with Timing decreased 1 point, and am definitely liking the results, so I give that recommendation to you, as lowering Contact has a bunch of weird side effects that you really don't want. Regardless, both sliders will help with strikeouts with just a 1 point change.

Increasing Baserunner Steal Ability is pretty much the best solution to your base stealing problem, assuming you don't already increase the speed of baserunners.
