TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

I'm enjoying the hell out of this game right now. I've always been able to pitch pretty well with any pitcher (I suck at hitting, though...), but with these sliders, pitching with an ace feels so different to pitching with some random 5th starter. You really have to tailor your game to your pitcher's strengths. Played two games yesterday - pitched a two-hit shutout with King Felix, then got absolutely hammered using James McDonald of the Pirates.

These sliders are right where I want them for my franchise. Great job, TNKNGM!

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Are you using ZONE HITTING?

I would only reduce power......then try reducing contact.....never go more than 1 click at a time and play a bunch of games

Thanks. I am using pure-analog on everything...

You also just reminded me that I might have to go back to the basic TNK sliders...I have probably messed with them too much over the weeks and have to start from their original starting point and adjust (if needed) from there.

Yeah.....if you're not actually using the sliders as is and you are using different hitting/pitching mechanisms - then you can't critique the sliders or really expect me to help.

I recommend setting everything to the way they are in the 1st post of the thread

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Hey tnk are you playing with pitch control on 2 or 3? The vault sliders have them at 2 and first post says 3?

Been away from the ps3 this past week and played four great and very different games today. My Astros held off Boston in a 9-7 slugfest, then a hard fought 4-2 win at the Yankees followed by a great pitching duel that went into the 10th tied at 1-1 before I pushed across the second run and eventual game winner on a sac fly. Game three at the Yankees saw me get crushed 15-5.

Great hit variety with these sliders and post patch they still look great! Working more walks as well without the meatball bug.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Just out of curiosity...are a lot of you still seeing a ton of doubles and HR's? granted, I am using the apparently loaded Red Sox team, but midway though spring training I am hitting .332, and lead the league in doubles and HR's by a good margin.

My assumption is that the contact slider plays a decent role in this, but even when I lowered it by one, my power still seems significant.

I am curious if anybody, while tinkering with this slide set, has tested many games using Contact 6 and Power 3? I think I will reset spring training and give it a go for about 10 games, but was just wondering if anybody else has some results or feedback on these changes?

Are you using ZONE HITTING?

Are you on ALLSTAR difficulty?

Are you using GUESS PITCH? If so, stop!

Are you using POWER SWINGS?

I am sorry if there was a misunderstanding but, there was absolutely NO intention of criticizing your slider set. Your sets make the game much more enjoyable.

My only intent was to learn if there were another slider, beyond reducing the power, that could reduce the number of HR's.

I also should say that I am using veteran hitting, because I my plate discipline is lacking.

That wasn't meant to be like a shot at you

Just simply saying that if someone/anyone isn't using the set the way they are developed and intended......then it's difficult to analyze the results and make changes

Sorry, forgot the specifics...

I use all star hitting and pitching, zone hitting, never use power swing, only regular swing, and never use guess pitch. I am a pure zone hitter.

Another great game with this set. Down 2-0 early we fought back for a 5-2 victory. Brandon Beachy got the win and Jordanny Valdespin powered the offense with a clutch 2 run homer that put us up 5-2.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Just played my first game with these and it was interesting to say the least haha. It was Tigers v Nationals(me) and the game ended in a 1-0 win for the Tigers. However, I threw a no hitter. it was 0-0 after 9 innnings. Verlander gave up 4 hits and struck out 11. Strasburg threw a no hitter through 9.2 with 10 K's and 2 BB. (they scored by a walk, SB, balk, error). hitting was a struggle but im convinced thats because i am bad and swing at a lot of junk. pitching was mighty easy though. i've played the show for 3 years and that was my first no-no. we'll see how my next game goes

Thanks for the work on the sliders!

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

I have used your sliders for every edition that you have put them up. Like you I use Meter pitching. You think its a lot easier this year to hit the spots?

I definitely think it's easier to hit your spots this year. Also, I've seen the CPU swinging at a LOT of pitches out of the zone.

I've been a little tied up helping get the OSFM rosters nailed down for release

Looks like they should be out tomorrow night
