TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

TNK - I have a question that I cannot figure out. I noticed that the batter ratings fluctuate wildly. For example, a batter I was playing against had a 45 contact versus lefties. But when I brought my lefty from the bullpen his contact was suddenly 66. Do you know why this is?

I have no clue what you're talking about......this is a question for the developers

Post stuff like this on the main board in one of the threads for questions like these - the developers will respond. I make sliders.....I don't develop the game

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Thank you for the help. I posted it in the main post. Check it out for your own info though. The batters contact and power fluctuate based upon each pitcher. Like right now Panda is batting with a 84 contact/ 75 power vs right handers. I have Strasburg and his contact is 81 and power 69 against him in this particular at bat.

Interesting......maybe the ratings offset based on the ratings of the pitcher they are facing.....almost like the ratings become head to head based

Basically a guy can have 80 contact and 80 power vs a scrub pitcher, but vs an ace pitcher he might be 70 contact and 65 power.....if so, that's an awesome feature

I am 40 games into my season and TNK's sliders with Veteran Classic Pitching and Veteran Timing Hitting are working very well for me right now.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

I like the sliders bit of a challenge when im using lower rated teams but i'll probably switch to timing or zone plus analog and pulse pitching

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

i was playing against DET-JUSTIN VERLANDER.
he was throwing a 1 hit through 8.0 innings with only 85 pitches.
and i'm still trying to figure out why the manager brought the closer(coke) in with JUSTIN VERLANDER on fire. they ended up losing the ballgame.

The variety may be good but the offensive numbers are ridiculously high. The average MLB team bats about .265 with a .319 OBP and a .405 slugging average. They average 4.32 runs per game and hit one homer every 38 at bats or so

I'm 17 games in currently. I'd like to get to about 30-40 games before I change anything. My OBP isn't too far off, it's early in the season. The HR numbers may be high. I've been great at being patient and getting into hitters counts. I'll report back after some more games.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Anyone happen to know what slider affects the PCI? Using TNKs sliders, the PCI is still way too large. Thanks in advance.

The difficulty level if I'm not mistaken

Does batter plate vision come into play?

Hijacked from the show forum
Contact
- This is the most important hitting slider bar none. This slider will increase/decrease the Plate Coverage Indication (PCI) of each and every batter. Increasing the slider increases the PCI because it ups every hitter's contact and plate vision attributes (both attributes affect the size of the batter's PCI, plate vision even more than contact does). This slider is most important if you use Timing hitting (since you have no control over the PCI) as increasing plate vision causes your batter to locate the PCI on the pitch even better, plus your PCI is bigger as well. Analog hitting doesn't give you full PCI control either so increasing/decreasing plate vision is pretty important. The slider is least important for Zone hitting as you control the PCI yourself, but increasing/decreasing the PCI is still a big thing. This slider also increases/decreases plate discipline, which for the user, only affects your ability to check swing. If you zero out this slider, it'll be very hard to check swing without using the contact swing.

and there you go, thanks for posting this. I'm new to the series and I'm trying to learn all I can about the ins and outs of sliders/ difficulty so I can adjust when necessary. I'm guessing that over at The Show forum they have a description for each and every slider?
