Re: ILiveForThis and authentic's MLB Simulation Slider Project 2012

So far in my Cubs Franchise I am 0-2. On Opening Day I lost 6-1. Dempster had a great start and only allowed 1 run through 7 innings. Marmol gave up 5 in the 9th without recording an out. In game 2 Garza struggled and only lasted 4. My bullpen held up and didn't allow a run in 5 innings. I ended up losing 6-4. So far in the series I have giving up 1 homerun and have hit 1 homerun.

I am playing my last game of the opening series tonight, and will post my series wrap up.

Is that with the new set, or the All-Star ones?

Default Legend, Timing Hitting, Pulse Pitching, Analog Fielding, with auto on for fielders. You still throw, the cpu just handles getting to the ball, I feel it's more fluid.

Default, huh? I never used timing hitting or auto fielding until this year. It kinda cuts down on trying to figure out where the ball is going to come off the wall. Pulse, to me, is to classic pitching as to what analog is to timing. It's very similar, but they add a nice little twist to it...

I have went back to HoF and I can say.. it feels right!

Just played a great game with the Jays, besting the Rangers 5-4. I was down 2-0 early (Hamilton HR and RBI single by Murphy) but took over the lead and momentum with a 5-run 3rd, coming to a head with an Edwin Encarnacion Grand Slam! The Rangers nibbled away, making it 5-4 in the ninth. Sergio Santos came in, got two quick outs before surrendering a hit to Michael Young. Then a walk to Hamilton. Finally, on a 3-2 pitch, he got Mike Napoli to swing through a heater and give the Jays the W (twelvth in a row!)

I just dropped game 1 in my franchise with the METROPOLITANS. And the HOF? Those the original sliders you're talking about?

Also, can't say it enough. Patience is key.

In my Default HoF test game, I had Matt Harrison at 82 pitches in the 5th.. 41 Strikes, 41 Balls. I was the dictstor in the at-bats, giving myself the best chance possible to win.

ILive,

When going back to Hof are you using zone or timing hitting?

[ILiveForThis]

Re: ILiveForThis and authentic's MLB Simulation Slider Project 2012

Be ready for this... Zone Plus Analog. I have fallen in love with it and can't go back. I had to drop Pitch Speed a few clicks to compensate but all in all, it is great.

Re: ILiveForThis and authentic's MLB Simulation Slider Project 2012

I have played Legend enough to know that there are some issues I want to take care of. Here they are:

- Too many user strikeouts. Even when I have good timing and location of the PCI, I still miss sometimes, which in reality, shouldn't happen.

- Lack of computer strikeouts. I get to 2 strike counts, but just can't seem to figure out how to put the computer away.

- Lack of extra base hits. Tons of hard hit singles, and not very many homeruns, which is odd.

-- The first issue is simple. Raising contact to 6 might help alleviate this.

-- This is simple as well. Lowering contact 1, and maybe tinkering with timing and foul tendency could result in more k's. I don't need to adjust it too much, maybe just a click.

-- Extra base hit wise, lowering fielder speed is what needs to be done. It will be much like the AS set in terms of numbers. Solid hits will probably get turned down a notch for the computer, to take care of all those hard hit singles.

Also, the Legend set will be my Official Slider Set for the Version 3 Pitch Edit roster, since ILiveForThis helped seanjeezy create it. It has been tested and formulated, based on ALL of the changes we made to pitchers. ILiveForThis and I did every MLB pitcher, so we are probably about the only people on here, besides seanjeezy, who know almost every bit of change.

Re: ILiveForThis and authentic's MLB Simulation Slider Project 2012

Good points. I've been retesting our HoF set and so far, so good. Default is rather good for Hall of Fame, yet some MINOR tweaks should be needed. I have been doing Fielding/Baserunner Speed at 4 and Reaction at 3. Works like a charm.
