TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

I actually tried these sliders for the first time yesterday with the new OSFM Hybrid 1.3b set and I can honestly say they provided no challenge at all. With pitch speed at 8 on AllStar difficulty, I was raking the ball the first two games. Not only that, but I noticed I didn't even really have to concentrate to get the CPU out when pitching. I struck them out looking 4 times each game, many on 0-2 counts. Granted it was only 2 games, but I just didn't feel the sense of urgency I feel on HoF to make good pitches. A solid set as I didn't see anything crazy going on, but just not the challenge I was looking for.

Yeah, a more conservative approach would have at least put you in a better position to score the first runner. Who was the 2nd runner, who was the batter, and what kind/how deep of a hit was the 2nd hit? If you absolutely laced the ball to the right fielder or it was a relatively shallow hit, then it's possible to get thrown out at the plate even with an average runner vs an average arm. But, you're right, ordinarily the runner should be scoring from 2nd there by getting a good secondary/jump when the ball hits the bat with 2 outs.

The 2nd runner was Brandon Phillips (67 speed). The batter was Jay Bruce, and it was a sharp line drive single and not particularly shallow and not hit crazy hard.

Looks like your hall of fame set is what you should stick with then if all star is too easy.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

Anyone try these with timing hitting? Anyone?

I've never really tried zone hitting... Seems too difficult to move the cursor as the pitch comes. >_<

Should be fine. I play analog hitting and it's a great set.

No **** I need to adjust the sliders. That's my whole reason for posting in here was to get advice on which sliders to change because I really like the way the game plays with your sliders compared to others I've tried, I just need a little more offense.

And I'm so tired of the "you need to get better" crap. The whole entire point of sliders is to adjust the game to fit each person's abilities. I have to accept that after playing 100+ games this year and thousands of games in previous years that my ability level is what it is. I actually don't think I'm that bad at the game either. I am a patient hitter, yes I should take a couple more walks but those really come down to misreading a whole 1 or two pitches a game that would have been ball 4 but I put it in play or strike out chasing it or just foul it off and then don't see another ball in the at bat.

But either way, I never once said the problem was your sliders so no need to get all defensive and be a dick about it.

Buddy....that's why I said - not to be a jerk.....because I didn't want it to come across as just "hey get better"......you are the one playing your games - you need to figure out what to tweak

You wanna talk about getting defensive? I wasn't trying to be a d*ck about it, I can't just magically say adjust this or that 1 click and all your problems are gonna go away

MAKE A FEW SUBTLE TWEAK AND PLAY A FEW GAMES AND THEN RE-ASSESS WHERE YOU ARE AT

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE

Game #22 of the Season – Oakland A's @ Boston Red Sox

Pitching Matchup – Jarrod Parker vs. Clay Buchholz

The Red Sox send Clay Buchholz to the mound as they look to avoid the 3 game sweep as Oakland has taken the 1st two games of this 3 game series. The A's will send Jarrod Parker to the mound in the series finale

The game was back and forth throughout and the score was tied 4-4 after 7 innings before Brandon Moss broke the tie with an RBI single in the top of the 8th to give Oakland a 5-4 lead. The Red Sox had two men on with 1 out in the bottom of the 8th when Jerry Blevins got out of the jam as Daniel Nava smoked a ball right at Lowrie at SS who flipped to Sogard at 2nd and the A's truned a huge 6-4-3 double play to end the inning and send the game to the 9th. Andrew Bailey relieved Andrew Miller on the mound for Boston with a man on and 1 out in the top of the 9th and Jed Lowrie delivered a big RBI double to add an insurance run and make it 6-4. Bailey got Adam Rosales to ground out with two men on to end the inning and we would go to the bottom of the 9th with the A's leading 6-4 and looking to complete the sweep. Will Middlebrooks singled off A's closer Grant Balfour to lead off the bottom of the 9th and the Red Sox would bring the tying run to the plate. Balfour came back to strike out Saltalamacchia and Drew and the Red Sox were down to their final out. Mike Carp was called on to pinch hit for Pedro Ciriaco with the game on the line. Carp got himself into a hitters count at 2-0 and Balfour grooved a fastball over the plate that Carp drove opposite way and the ball just cleared the green monster for a game tying pinch hit 2-run HR. Jacoby Ellsbury was up next and he sat back on a curveball from Balfour and just missed hitting a game winning HR by inches as the ball hit high off the wall in CF for a double. Ryan Cook replaced Balfour on the mound for Oakland and fell behind in the count to Victorino 3-0. Victorino was given the green light as Cook did not want to walk Victorino with David Ortiz on deck and Victorino got a fastball right down the middle that he laced into CF for a single as Ellsbury raced around 3rd to score the winning run and send Fenway Park into a frenzy.

THE RED SOX RALLY TO SCORE 3 RUNS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH FOR A HUGE 7-6 COMEBACK WIN TO AVOID THE SWEEP!!!!! THIS WAS THE MOST EXCITING GAME OF THE SEASON THUS FAR!!!

The Red Sox are currently 3-3 on their current 10 game home stand and they will welcome the Houston Astros to town tomorrow to begin a 4 game series as Ryan Dempster faces Lucas Harrell in the opener.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE

Game #23 of the Season – Houston Astros @ Boston Red Sox

Pitching Matchup – Lucas Harrell vs. Ryan Dempster

The Red Sox and Astros begin a 4 game series at Fenway Park with Lucas Harrell getting the start on the mound for Houston against Ryan Dempster for Boston.

The Red Sox recent string of mediocre starting pitching continued as the Astros had a 4-1 lead after 4 innings of play. Boston got a solo HR from Mike Napoli in the 2nd inning for his team leading 7th HR of the season. Ryan Dempster was not sharp as Houston scored in 3 of the 1st 4 innings and got a 2-run HR from Brandon Laird who was called up from AAA prior to the game and was making his 2013 debut. Houston added 2 runs in the top of the 5th as JD Martinez picked up his 2nd RBI of the game with a sac fly to make it 5-1 and then Dempster balked with a runner on 3rd to make it a 6-1 game. Jacoby Ellsbury tripled to lead off the bottom of the 5th and came in to score on a sac fly by Nava to cut the deficit to 6-2 after 5 innings. Junichi Tazawa gave the Red Sox 2 strong innings out of the pen as we would go to the bottom of the 7th with Houston on top by a score of 6-2. Lucas Harrell continued to grind is way to a strong start for the Astros *** he go through the 7th inning with the 6-2 lead still intact. Koji Uehara pitched around a single by Ankiel the top of the 8th to keep the Red Sox within striking distance at 6-2. Wesley Wright took over for Harrell on the mound for Houston in the bottom of the 8th and got the 1st two hitters with ease before Mike Napoli turned on a fastball and drove it down the LF line and off the foul pole for his 2nd solo HR of the ball game to cut the lead to 6-3. Hector Ambriz replaced Wright on the mound and struck out Mike Carp with a 96 mph fastball at the letters to end the inning and send the game to the 9th inning with the Astros leading 6-3. Alex Wilson pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 9th for Boston and we would go to the bottom of the 9th with the Red Sox trailing 6-3 and looking to come from behind in their final at bat for the 2nd day in a row. Houston closer Jose Veras entered the game in the save situation with a 3 run lead for the bottom of the 9th and retired Middlebrooks, Saltalamacchia and Drew in order to record the save as the Astros win 6-3.

* The Astros take the opener of this 4 game series by a score of 6-3 behind a steady performance from Lucas Harrell on the mound as he improves to 3-0 on the season.

* The Red Sox fall to 3-4 on this 10 game home stand and Ryan Dempster struggled on the mound as the Red Sox get another poor outing from their starting pitcher. Boston has gotten a sub par outing from their starting pitcher in 6 of their last 8 games which has been the key reason for the teams recent struggles

* Mike Napoli continues to display his strong power at the plate as he went 2 for 4 with 2 HR in the game and leads the Red Sox with 8 HR on the season

* Felix Doubront gets the start tomorrow for Boston and he is still looking for his 1st win of the season. Doubront needs to step up and give the Red Sox a quality start as they haven't had a day off in 16 days and the bullpen has been used heavily of late. Philip Humber will get the nod for Houston

You wanna talk about getting defensive? I wasn't trying to be a d*ck about it, I can't just magically say adjust this or that 1 click and all your problems are gonna go away

MAKE A FEW SUBTLE TWEAK AND PLAY A FEW GAMES AND THEN RE-ASSESS WHERE YOU ARE AT

How do you come up with your own slider set then if it's not tracking stats for 10-15 games and then making adjustments until you come up with the final product? I would think if anyone would know what sliders affect what parts of the game it would be someone putting out a slider set. It's not like I came in here saying "game is hard, help me" with no supporting information. And other people were already making suggestions before you even jumped in.

But it's fine, I've taken the advice of other people in this thread and others and made a few tweaks and it's closer for me now.

You just gotta stick with the set for a while. It gives amazing variation in all aspects of the game. I started off terrible, then couldn't miss at the plate, then a mixed bag. The game before last I had to play small ball for my runs, the game this morning I got 5 runs on three homers. It really is a sick set.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE

Game #24 of the Season – Houston Astros @ Boston Red Sox

Pitching Matchup – Philip Humber vs. Felix Doubront

The Red Sox and Astros play the 2nd game of a 4 game series at Fenway Park with Philip Humber and Felix Dobront squaring off on the mound. The Red Sox are in need of a good performance from Doubront as their starting pitching has struggled of late and has been the main reason for the teams recent slide.

David Ortiz gave Boston a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning with a 2-run HR over the green monster. Matt Dominguez answered for Houston in the top of the 2nd with a 2-run bomb of his own in to the monster seats to tie the score at 2-2. The Red Sox answered back in the bottom of the 2nd as Will Middlebrooks drew a one out walk and came in to score when Pedro Ciriaco slapped an RBI single into RF to give the Sox a 3-2 lead. The Red Sox string of poor starting pitching continued though as the Astros were teeing off on Felix Doubront as he served up solo HRs to Justin Maxwell and Carlos Pena in the top of the 3rd as the Astros took a 4-3 lead. Doubront continued to struggle in the top of the 5th as he issued his 4th walk of the game when he walked Dominguez to load the bases with 2 outs for JD Martinez and Boston skipper John Farrell had seen enough and went to his bullpen and called on Clayton Mortensen to face Martinez in a tough spot. Mortensen needed 9 pitched to get the job done as Martinez put on a great at bat but eventually flew out to Victorino in shallow RF for a huge out as Mortensen gets out of the jam and the Astros leave the bases loaded. Will Middlebrooks doubled to lead off the bottom of the 5th and Pedro Ciriaco drove him in with an RBI double with one out to tie the game at 4-4. Both Clayton Mortensen and Paul Clemens pitched out of trouble in the 6th as both teams stranded two men on base and we would head to the 7th tied 4-4. Mortensen gave up a 1 out pinch hit single to Marwin Gonzalez in the top of the 8th but Andrew Bailey came in from the pen to get Cedeno and Altuve to end the inning and keep the score tied 4-4. Travis Blackley got through the bottom of the 8th and we would head to the 9th inning all tied up at 4-4 setting the stage for what should be a great finish to the game. Alex Wilson pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 9th for Boston to give the Red Sox a chance to win it in the bottom of the 9th. Josh Fields came on to pitch for the Astros in the bottom of the 9th and retired the side in order to send the game to extra innings. Wilson remained in the game for the top of the 10th and pitched another perfect inning as the Boston bullpen has been outstanding in this game. Jacoby Ellsbury reached base to begin the bottom of the 10th as he grounded to Cedeno at SS but Carlos Pena was charged with an error when he could not scoop the rushed throw from Cedeno. Shane Victorino was up next and he bunted to move Ellsbury into scoring position and beat the throw to 1st for a single to give the Red Sox 2 men on with nobody out. Dustin Pedroia laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to move the runners up to 2nd & 3rd with one out. Fields issued an intentional walk to David Ortiz to load the bases with 1 out for Daniel Nava who would have a chance to be the hero. Nava got a fastball on the very first pitch from Fields and put a good swing on the ball to drive a fly ball to medium CF and it was deep enough as Ellsbury tagged and scored from 3rd base with the winning run as the Red Sox win 5-4 in 10 innings.

* The Red Sox even up this 4 game series at 1 game apiece as they win 5-4 on a Daniel Nava sac fly in extra innings

* Felix Doubront produced another poor start from the Red Sox struggling rotation as he could not get out of the 5th inning. Doubront allowed 3 HR and walked 4 batters in just 4.2 innings of work on the mound.

* The Boston bullpen was outstanding as Mortensen, Bailey and Wilson allowed just 1 hit over 5.1 solid innings of work

* Pedro Ciriaco got the start at SS for Stephen Drew who needed a day off for rest and Ciriaco was the star of the game as he produced a single, double, 2 RBI and 2 stolen bases in the game. Ciriaco is hitting .321 on the season in a reserve roll and is making a case for more playing time.

* John Lackey will get the ball tomorrow for Boston in game #3 of the series against Jordan Lyles for Houston

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

I'm new to the game, just got a PS3 and the game few weeks ago. I'm playing RTTS as a RF with the Binghamton Mets with these sliders and the OSFM V2 rosters.

After 4 games, I have a .600 avg, 2 Dbls, 1 HR, 4 runs and 8 RBI. Since I'm playing with Veteran gameplay instead of AS, it's probably why I'm having such high numbers so far. If the numbers stay that high, I'll be moving up to AS in a hurry.

Just saying that the sliders are making the game fun and it feels like real baseball to me. Thanks TNK for your efforts on those. :-)

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE

Game #25 of the Season – Houston Astros @ Boston Red Sox

Pitching Matchup – Jordan Lyles vs. John Lackey

The Red Sox and Astros play the 3rd game of a 4 game series at Fenway Park after splitting the 1st two games with Jordan Lyles facing John Lackey on the mound.

* The Astros recalled OF Trevor Crowe and INF/OF Jimmy Paredes from AAA before the game and designated OF Rick Ankiel for assignment while optioning INF Brandon Laird to AAA

* The Red Sox jumped all over Jordan Lyles early and often as they knocked him out of the game in the bottom of the 3rd inning after pounding out 6 runs 8 hits and 3 HR to take a 6-0 lead. Dallas Keuchel replaced Lyles on the mound.

* The Red Sox slugged 4 HR in the game on their way to a 8-3 victory as this game was never in doubt with Boston grabbing an early lead and Houston was never close.

* John Lackey picks up his 1st win of the season as he gave the Red Sox a much needed 7 strong innings on the mound before giving up a solo HR to Carlos Pena to lead off the 8th inning. The quality start from Lackey breaks a string of bad starts from Boston's starting rotation and gave the bullpen a much needed break.

Re: TNK - 2013 REALISM SLIDERS

What are you guys seeing for CPU errors? My team errors are spot on, averaging 0.59 a game compared to last year's average of 0.617/game, but the CPU errors are almost non-existent. Through 22 games the CPU has committed 5 errors, and 0 in the last 11 games.
