TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

I'm really enjoying these sliders but I'm having an issue seeing anything besides singles and home runs. I think I've hit 3 doubles total in my last 5 games. Is anyone else experiencing this?

In my last game I just played I had 7 doubles (3 from Josh Hamilton) but only one homer, it seems to be fairly common for me to have more doubles than home runs so I'd say it's probably just an anomaly for you. Or it could just be your hitters.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Yeah I'm on the more doubles than home run side.

Through my last 8 games I've had 3 home runs all by Vernon Wells.

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE

Game #9 of the Season - Baltimore Orioles @ Boston Red Sox

Pitching Matchup - Jason Hammel vs. Felix Doubront

The Red Sox will send Felix Doubront to the mound against Jason Hammel for the Orioles in the rubber match of this 3 game series as the teams have split the 1st two games.

* The Orioles loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the 1st but Felix Doubront would get Chris Davis swinging on a changeup to get out of the inning without allowing a run.

* The Red Sox had runners at the corners with two outs in the bottom of the 1st for Will Middlebrooks who got himself into a hitters count and punched an RBI single into RF to give the Sox a 1-0 lead. Daniel Nava would fly out to Jones in CF to end the inning.

* Boston had two men on base with one out in the bottom of the 2nd inning after singles by Saltalamacchia and Bradley. Jacoby Ellsbury chopped a ball out in front of the plate and was thrown out at 1st as the runners moved into scoring position with two outs. Hammel got out of the inning as he struck out Victorino with a high and tight fastball as the Sox strand two men in scoring position.

* Baltimore had a man in scoring position with one out in the top of the 3rd but Doubront made some nice pitches to get Markakis to fly out to Bradley in LF and then got Adam Jones to ground out to Ciriaco at SS for the final out and keep it a 1-0 game.

* Doubront pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 4th and Hammel gave up a 2 out single to Pedro Ciriaco but Hammel would catch him leaning and picked him off at 1st base to end the inning as we would go to the 5th inning with Boston leading 1-0.

* The Orioles had two men on with two outs in the top of the 5th. Doubront got squeezed on what should have been a called strike 3 and Nick Markakis lined the next pitch into CF for an RBI single to score Pearce and tie the game at 1-1. Doubront would get Adam Jones to ground out to Pedroia at 2nd base to end the inning and strand two men on base.

* Hammel retired the Red Sox in order in the bottom of the 5th to send the game to the 6th inning tied up at 1-1.

* Felix Doubront pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 6th to keep it a 1-1 game.

* Dustin Pedroia grounded to Hardy at SS to begin the bottom of the 6th but Hardy bounced the throw to 1st and Davis couldn't hold on to the scoop as Pedroia reached on an error. The error did not prove costly though as Mike Napoli bounced into a 6-4-3 double play for two big outs. Hammel would get Middlebrooks to ground out to end the inning and we would go to the 7th inning tied at 1-1.

* Doubront struck out Reimold to begin the top of the 7th. Steve Pearce hammered a ball towards the gap in LF but was robbed on a terrific diving catch by Jackie Bradley Jr for the 2nd out of the inning. Brian Roberts hit the ball hard but Napoli made a nice play at 1st base to record the final out of the inning and keep it a 1-1 game.

* Daniel Nava led off the bottom of the 7th and made a bid to give the Sox the lead but Markakis ciaght his long fly ball on the warning track in RF for the 1st out. Saltalamacchia popped out for the 2nd out. Pedro Ciriaco was up next and he lined a single to LF for his 2nd hit of the game. Ciriaco advanced to 2nd base as Hammel bounced a slider in the dirt that Wieters blocked and Ciriaco just beat the throw. Hammel bounced another pitch in the dirt but this time Ciriaco was thrown out at 3rd base ona great throw by Wieters and the Orioles get out of the inning on Ciriaco's 2nd baserunning blunder of the game and we would go to the 8th inning tied 1-1.

* Doubront gave up a leadoff single to Machado to begin the top of the 8th. Alexi Casilla would come on as a pinch runner for Machado. Boston pitching coach made a visit to the mound and the Sox elected to stick with Doubront to face the lefty Markakis coming up to bat. Doubront got a groundball to SS but Casilla was on the move and Ciriaco only had 1 play at 1st base for the out. Doubront issued an intentional walk to Adam Jones to setup the double play possibility and he would depart as Andrew Bailey would come in from the pen to face Matt Wieters with two men on and 1 out. Casilla tried to steal 3rd base on Bailey's 1st pitch and Saltalamacchia made a great throw to nail him for the 2nd out of the inning. Bailey got Wieters to hit a groundball to Ciriaco and he flipped to Pedroia at 2nd base for the force out to end the inning as the Orioles blow a chance to take the lead and we would go to the bottom of the 8th tied 1-1.

* Brian Matusz took over on the mound for the Orioles to begin the bottom of the 8th and he would get Bradley Jr and Ellsbury each on fly outs before a two out single by Victorino gave the Red Sox a base runner. Dustin Pedroia worked a full count and Victorino would be off with the pitch with two outs. Matusz left a fastball over the middle of the plate and Pedroia hammered it off the green monster for a go ahead RBI double as Victorino just beat the throw to the plate to put the Red Sox on top 2-1. Darren O'Day replaced Matusz on the mound to face Mike Napoli as the Red Sox were looking to add an insurance run but O'Day would get Napoli to chase a slider for the strikeout and we would go to the 9th with Boston leading 2-1.

* The Orioles were down 2-1 as they came up for their final at bat and the Red Sox would turn the ball over to their closer Joel Hanrahan. Chris Davis grounded out to Ciriaco at SS for the 1st out of the inning. Hanrahan fell behind in the count and JJ Hardy singled to CF to get the tying run on base for Baltimore. Nolan Reimold was up next and he fouled off a couple tough 2 strike pitches to stay alive and he bounced a single into CF to give the Orioles 2 men on base with 1 out. Steve Pearce went down looking as Hanrahan froze him with a slider and the Orioles were down to their final out. Brian Roberts worked a full count and fouled a couple 98 mph fastballs in on the hands to stay alive but Hanrahan threw him a filthy slider with a full count that started outside the zone and broke over the outside corner and Roberts swung but could not make contact and the Red Sox hold on for a 2-1 victory in a nail biter.

The Red Sox win 2-1 in thrilling fashion to take 2 out of 3 games from the Orioles. The Red Sox will remain at home as the Tampa Bay Rays come to Fenway for a 4 game series in what should be an exciting AL East clash. The Red Sox will send John Lackey to the mound in the opener against Alex Cobb for the Rays

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE

Game #10 of the Season - Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox

Pitching Matchup - Alex Cobb vs. John Lackey

The 7-2 Red Sox kick off a 4 game series at home against the 4-5 Tampa Bay Rays. Alex Cobb will face John Lackey on the mound in the opening game of the series.

* John lackey retired the 1st five Rays hitters he faced before getting into a jam in the top of the 2nd inning when he walked Yunel Escobar and James Loney singled to setup runners at the corners with two outs. Lackey got out of the inning though as Jose Molina grounded out to Drew at SS for the final out of the inning.

* The Red Sox got singles from Mike Napoli and Daniel Nava to give them 2 men on base with 1 out in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Alex Cobb fell behind in the count to Saltalamacchia and left a fastball up in the zone that Saltalamacchia blasted into the Sox bullpen in RF for a 3-run HR to put Boston up 3-0.

* Tampa Bay got back to back singles by Kelly Johnson and Desmond Jennings to lead off the top of the 3rd. Sam Fuld flew out to deep CF and Johnson tagged and moved up to 3rd to setup runners at the corners with one out. Lackey was having trouble locating his pitches and issued his 2nd walk of the game as he walked Zobrist to load the bases for Evan Longoria. The Boston pitching coach made a visit to the mound to try and get Lackey straightened out. Longoria hit a chopper up over the mound and the only play Drew had was at 1st base for the 2nd out of the inning but Johnson would come in to score and make it 3-1. Matt Joyce was up next and he lined a ball down the LF line for a 2-run double to tie the game at 3-3. Lackey continued to struggle with control and walked Escobar. James Loney followed with an RBI single up the middle to give the Rays a 4-3 lead. Jose Molina singled and the Rays had the bases loaded with two outs. Kelly Johnson put a charge into the ball as he made a bid for a grand slam but Ellsbury caught the ball on the warning track in CF for the final out of the inning as the Rays score 4 runs and bat around in the inning to take a 4-3 lead.

* Matt Joyce singled to lead off the top of the 5th for Tampa. Yunel Escobar flew out to RF for the 1st out and then Lackey caught Joyce taking a big lead at 1st and picked him off for the 2nd out. James Loney blooped a single into RF for a single with two outs. Lackey struck out Jose Molina on a slider to end the inning and Lackey has managed to battle his way through 5 innings on the mound.

* Jackie Bradley hit a ball off the green monster for a double with 1 out in the bottom of the 5th. Bradley would move up to 3rd when Ellsbury grounded out to 2nd base for the 2nd out of the inning. Cobb would get out of the inning though as he got Victorino to pop out to end the inning and we would go to the 6th with Tampa Bay leading 4-3.

* Lackey would get the 1st two outs in the top of the 6th before departing as Alfredo Aceves would come in to replace Lackey who was up to 102 pitches in the ball game. Sam Fuld singled off Aceves with two outs but Aceves would get Ben Zobrist to fly out to CF to end the inning and keep it a 4-3 game.

* Alex Cobb pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the 6th and we would go to the 7th inning with the Rays leading 4-3.

* Evan Longoria crushed a solo HR into the monster seats off of Aceves to lead off the top of the 7th and extend the Rays lead to 5-3. Matt Joyce followed with a double. Escobar hit a sac fly to CF to advance Joyce to 3rd base with one out and Andrew Miller would come in to relieve Aceves with lefty James Loney coming up. Loney picked up an RBI as he grounded out to Napoli at 1st base and Joyce scored to make it 6-3. Jose Molina lined a two out single to LF on the 9th pitch of his at bat. Kelly Johnson was up next and he hit a fly ball to deep CF that was dropped for an error by Ellsbury and Molina scored to extend the Rays lead to 7-3. Miller got Jennings to fly out to finally end the inning.

* Saltalamacchia double with one out in the bottom of the 7th but Cobb would get Drew and Bradley to end the inning as both guys hit the ball right on the screws but right at Desmond Jennings in CF for hard outs and we would go to the 8th with Tampa up 7-3.

* Andrew Miller would get the 1st two outs in the top of the 8th and Junichi Tazawa would come on to face Longoria with nobody on and two outs. Longoria just missed his 2nd HR of the night as he hammered a ball off the wall in CF for a double. Matt Joyce followed with an RBI double to make it 8-3. Yunel Escobar singled to give the Rays runners at the corners but Tazawa would get Loney to fly out to end the inning.

* Jacoby Ellsbury launched a solo HR off Cobb to lead off the bottom of the 8th and cut the Rays lead to 8-4 and Joe Maddon would come out to get Cobb and turn things over to Kyle Farnsworth on the mound. Farnsworth would come in and get 3 straight groundball outs to end the inning and we would go to the 9th inning with the Rays leading 8-4

* Tazawa pitched around a lead off single by Molina in the top of the 9th to keep it an 8-4 game going into the bottom of the 9th.

* Farnsworth remained on the mound to start the bottom of the 9th with the Red Sox needing 4 runs to tie in their last at bat. Will Middlebrooks worked a lead off walk and Daniel Nava singled to CF to give the Sox two men on base with nobody out. Farnsworth would depart and Jake McGee would get a big strikeout of Saltalamacchia for the 1st out. Rays closer Fernando Rodney would replace McGee after just one batter looking to record the final two outs of the game. Rodney got Stephen Drew to hit into a game ending 6-4-3 double play and the Rays win 8-4

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

How important is it to use your custom hitting view? I have tried it for the last 8 games and am having a real problem with pitches that are low in the strike zone or just below the strike zone.

Is that part of the challenge with that view? If it is then it's great haha.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

I use Geronimo's custom offset to the inside camera, with a slight zoom adjustment and get great results.

Also tried regular analog hitting my last game with Atlanta, and got great results especially in hit variety. Not that I want already getting good variety, just felt even better in that game. May stick with that for now.

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE

Game #11 of the Season - Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox

Pitching Matchup - David Price vs. Jon Lester

* Jon Lester got Evan Longoria to pop out to Drew at SS to end the top of the 1st and strand Desmond Jennings who led off the game with a double at 3rd base.

* Shane Victorino turned on a fastball from David Price and hit a missile down the LF line and off the foul pole for a solo HR in the bottom of the 1st to give Boston an early 1-0 lead.

* Stephen Drew doubled to lead off the bottom of the 3rd and he came in to score on a sac fly by Victorino who picked up his 2nd RBI of the game to make it 2-0.

* Lester pitched around a 2 out walk to Shelly Duncan in the top of the 4th and got Matt Joyce to ground out to end the inning.

* Mike Napoli hit his 1st HR in a Red Sox uniform leading off the bottom of the 4th as Price left a fastball out over the plate and Napoli crushed it 425 feet over the camera man in straight away CF to make it 3-0. Daniel Nava singled with 1 out and Jonny Gomes hit an RBI double over the head of Jennings in CF to score Nava and make it 4-0.

* Lester pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 5th and has held the Rays to just 1 hit through 5 innings of work on the mound.

* Tampa Bay got a double from Sean Rodriguez and a single from Zobrist to setup runners at the corners for Evan Longoria with one out in the top of the 6th. Lester jammed Longoria with a cutter to get a pop out to Napoli for a big 2nd out of the inning and then struck out Shelly Duncan swinging to get out of the jam and make it 6 shutout innings on the mound.

* Jamey Wright replaced Price on the mound for Tampa to start the bottom of the 6th and he plunked Middlebrooks and Nava back to back with one out to get himself into trouble. Jonny Gomes singled up the middle but Middlebrooks was held at 3rd and the bases were loaded with one out for David Ross. Wright gained his composure and got back to back strikeouts of Ross and Drew to end the inning as the Red Sox leave the bases loaded and we would go to the 7th inning with Boston leading 4-0.

* Matt Joyce reached to begin the 7th after he bounced a ball to the left of the mound and Lester air mailed the throw to 1st base. Joyce would come in to score on a sac fly to LF by Ryan Roberts to cut the Boston lead to 4-1. Lester got Molina to fly out to end the inning as he has gone 7 strong innings on the mound.

* Cesar Ramos took over on the mound for Tampa in the bottom of the 7th and Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a single to CF but he would end up stranded on 2nd as Ramos pitched out of trouble to send the game to the 8th inning with the Red Sox up 4-1.

* Lester remained in the game to start the 8th inning and got Jennings to ground out to begin the inning. Sean Rodriguez hit a lazy fly to Ellsbury for the 2nd out of the inning. Lester got Zobrist to ground out to Drew at SS to end the inning and wrap up his day as he gives the Red Sox 8 excellent innings of work on the mound.

* Joel Peralta retired the side in the bottom of the 8th and we would go to the 9th with the Rays trailing 4-1.

* Red Sox closer Joel Hanrahan would take the ball for the 9th inning with a 3 run lead looking to record the save. Evan Longoria lined a single to CF to lead off the inning for the Rays. Shelly Duncan flew out to Victorino in RF for the 1st out. Matt Joyce hit a fly ball to the warning track in CF for the 2nd out and the Rays were down to their final out. Yunel Escobar bounced a groundball up the middle for a single to keep the game alive. James Loney came on as a pinch hitter for Roberts and Loney would represent the tying run at the plate. Hanrahan had trouble locating and walked Loney on 5 pitches to load the bases and put the tying run on base. Jose Molina came up with the bases loaded and 2 outs as Fenway Park was suddenly very nervous. Hanrahan got Molina to pund a sinker into the dirt and ground out to Pedroia for the final out as the Rays leave the bases loaded in the 9th and the Red Sox hold on for a 4-1 victory and Hanrahan picks up the save in heart attack fashion.

The Red Sox win 4-1 behind home runs from Shane Victorino and Mike Napoli and a great pitching performance from Jon Lester as he out pitched Rays ace David Price who falls to 0-3 on the season. The teams have split the 1st two games of this 4 game series and the Red Sox will send Clay Buchholz to the mound tomorrow against Jeremy Hellickson for the Rays

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Like everyone else, I think the sliders are great and provide great gameplay. I just had 2 questions. The first is, is there any reason the fielding mode was changed from the meter to just buttons? I'm not having a problem with errors but sometimes the players seem to take their sweet time throwing the ball and I feel like I didnt have this issue when I was using the meter (although I spent very little time on that mode). I've also been trying to figure out if there is a way to stop a throw after selecting the base.

The second question is if anyone else has found it very easy to steal bases. I'm playing as the Nats and Harper, Desmond, Werth, and Espinosa all can steal like 80% of the time and Span has 8 SBs in 13 games with only 1 CS (leading the majors). Didn't know if this was a common occurance. Thanks!

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Opening Day Re-Match!

Sale started strong, but the ump squeezed the zone and called nothing at the chest level. I think that's why his K's were down. 2 of his walks were full counts on pitches that could go either way. Made me a little frustrated I couldn't get more K's with him, but I'll stick with it for a few games. I'm assuming you need to not go 100% full power every time, every pitch. Does that confuse the CPU a little?

Yeah - was planning on playing a game or two tonight......between phone calls, info from friends on facebook & twitter, watching coverage on TV, etc.....I just can't even turn on the PS3 or think about playing a game

Friend of mine posted a picture on fb yesterday in that exact same spot in front of the flags where the 1st bomb detonated.....creepy

Anyone use these with timing hitting?

With zone I cant seem to get anything but base hits.
