Armor & Swords/Marino's - MLB The Show 13 Timed/Classic Sim Sliders

I think I may have to give Hybrid settings a try. I am really struggling at the plate.

Just started my Mets franchise with these sliders. Opened up the season against the Padres. First game I won 4-3- Lucas Dude had a 2-run HR in the 8th. Second game Matt Harvey can't make it out of the 5th and Marquis coasts and the Padres go on to win 8-3. Third game was absolutely crazy as I won 9-7 with a game winning two out pinch hit grand slam hit by Jordany Valdespin. Hopefully the offense gets toned down a bit as I was playing the lowly Padres so I can't imagine what other teams might do to me offensively. I just assume it will work itself out. Lots of fun though!

These sliders are challenging and realistic so far in my Marlins franchise. I can't hit a damn thing, but neither can the real Marlins! woohoo

Re: Armor & Swords/Marino's - MLB The Show 13 Timed/Classic Sim Sliders

Marino, I've used a slightly tweaked version of your sliders because I'm justing Zone plus Analog for batting and Pure Analog for pitching. I've always been much better at pitching than hitting, mainly because of the timing window on hitting.

So, basically I pushed pitching up to HOF, and hitting I slowed the pitch speed to 1, and I'm killing the CPU. I'm thinking of upping the pitch speed to 2 to lower my hitting, any suggestions on pitching? I'm getting good pitch counts for the most part, they are just not getting enough hits.

Any other suggestions for analog players from anyone out there would be helpful as well.

Made a Sp for the Royals i debut vs the O's the game was so annoying lol

Got the win though 8.2IP 7H 2R 2ER 8SO - both of their runs came in the 9th solo by Davis and Jones ended up getting a double then my catcher just starts missing my 12-6 and Jones ends up scoring

Here's my only problem with this set.
With CPU power at 4 they hardly ever hit any hrs off me. They score runs they just don't hit hrs. With it at 5 they hit too many hrs, all of their runs are scored via the hr.

Oh one other thing.
For the guys that are a week or more into their franchises.
Are ur guys getting way too tired all the time?
I have played 7 games with one off day and all my starters are dead tired. It even tells me before the game I should rest them.
It's really making me mad and is just unrealistic. I mean guys like Votto and Brandon Phillips play every single day. They are both dead tired one week into my season.

Yeah I have noticed this as well. Wonder if Power 5/Solid Hits 3 would balance things out?

If I remember correctly this has been an issue with the Show for years.

Armor what do u think?

Re: Armor & Swords/Marino's - MLB The Show 13 Timed/Classic Sim Sliders

Great sliders! Just had a great game 2-1 win. All the runs scored in 1st inning. Seemed like pitchers were not ready yet. Then they came to life. Thanks for your time you put in for us...

Well last night The Red Sox stomped me 12-6. Big Papi, Napoli and Middlebrook all went yard. I am seeing HR's by the cpu in a realistic fashion.

Leaving things where they are for my set.

My advice is as always keep playing and get at least a 20-25 game sample size in franchise. When we ran our test franchises we were not seeing this issue. Even after 20-25 games....the next 20 games can be totally different.

And then maybe your skill level is higher than mine and you need to make a tweak. Hard to say.

This has been an issue with The Show for as long as I can remember. Unless you play in the American League and utilize the DH to rest players, it is nearly impossible for someone to play in excess of 150-155 games. I traded for Mike Stanton in my 12' Mariners franchise, utilizing the DH, he still only played 150 games because I had to have other guys DH to rest them as well.

BTW, loving these sliders so far!!

Re: Armor & Swords/Marino's - MLB The Show 13 Timed/Classic Sim Sliders

I don't know what I am doing wrong. Through 6 games I am 0-6 with the Tribe. Can't hit anything, timing is completely off. Maybe I need to increase pitch speed? I am always early. Also, the computer is literally teeing off on me. The Rays just hung 13 runs on me. I am using he Hybrid hitting settings. Maybe I am just awful at this game. Any ideas guys?

Do tired players perform any less than rested ones? I mean will Ichiro swing and miss at every pitch or just hit weak dribblers if his energy is gone? Will he run the bases like Posada? I know if you have a tired player in the lineup the CPU will tell you he needs a rest but does his play really suffer if you leave him in? Perhaps editing every player's durability rating would change this?
