This is sim heaven with these sliders love every thing about them.
Just lost to the Jays 5-4 as the Tigers. Edwin hit a walk off in the 10th.
Both teams had ten hits, I hit 2 hrs they also hit two. Great game!

This game is amazing and I love the sliders. I really hope San Diego Studio's sticks to realism and life like game play. Maybe they can make a basketball game that will blow 2k out of the water...but great sliders !

How is everyone's CPU offense? I know it is early in the year but my ERA is under 2.00 playing with the Mets. I know I open the season against the Padres and Marlins but I really haven't even broken a sweat. The first game of the season I even put down Human Control one click in an attempt to have my pitches catch more of the plate thinking the CPU will bat the ball better. I have the most K's in the league and the third fewest walks. Not sure if I should decrease Human Consistency and/or Control or focus on CPU hitting and increasing those respective sliders. Or maybe it is just too early to tell...

These look like a good starting point. Last year's set was amazing.

These were originally close to what I was using but A&S really nailed this set as a visual WOW ! but I use hu Fielding and I found myself dominating offensively so I raised pitch speed so problem fixed but as far as pitching goes trying raising CPU foul frequency as youll have to pitch more carefully and then try Control if needed but you really got to test these alot of games as they go full circle , hot streaks ect but I find the hu pitching challenging as I pitch realistically and Im not afraid to walk batters going for a corner on the black.
Hope this helps

PS Im trying these for a 3rd time now as I enjoy the visual the base running , arms ect perfect and at a higher speed they should be more challenging as hitting was just to easy for me and tons of singles up the middle when they dont hit the pitcher and thats why I wish SCEA would add separate hu/cpu global sliders as that would solve alot of blending gameplay issues for me .

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

Came across something last night I did not like.
Playing the ALDS Yankees vs Rangers.

Darvish is cruising. In the first inning I started out with 2 straight solid base hits by Ichiro and Jeter.....then nada. Nothing for 6 innings.

After 7 innings I had been fanned 12 times, and managed 2 walks and one more weak base hit. I was being dominated.

Down 1-0 in the top of the 7th after walking me to start the the inning, Washington pulls Darvish after throwing 98 pitches.

Why?

This is an elimination game for the Rangers (I am up 2-0) in the series. They are at home, the crowd was going insane and swelling for every K he had. The atmosphere this year is so much better.

Point is....I am going to fool around with the manager hook slider again. I really did not like that move at all and found it a tad odd considereing the entire situation.

The move ended up being fine....they went on to win 3-0 and climbed back into the series down 2 games to 1. So I can't second guess the move itself. But I do second guess the logic behind it.

But still. A monster outing cut short? And his energy bar still had a quarter tank left....so....mmmmmm.

But wow guys. This game is a gem. An absolute gem!!!!

OSFM!!!! Can't wait. 1987 and 84 and OS Classic......wow can't wait!!!!

Still trying to develop a Hybrid set too so those who are waiting...sit tight. It is not so easy this year as All-Star really is perfect IMO for hitting on timed with these settings, giving you a true simulation.

A patch will fix the K/9 issue in simulated games in your franchises. Like always the first patch post release clears up a lot of little stuff (most which I never even notice). I am sure the sliders will stick after a patch. They did last year as well as in 11 (Marino's sliders for 11 that is).

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

I've actually seen this a couple of times A&S. There was one game where I can't remember the pitcher but he was throwing a no hitter on me all the way till the seventh inning where he finally gave up a single and out I see their manager walking to the mound to pull him. I thought to myself okay he must have a high pitch count but I looked and I think it was in the high 80's. There are times where I see the computer pull their pitcher at the appropriate time and there are times where i go da fuq when they pull their pitcher. Maybe we should all bump manager hook down to four and see how that goes?

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

I usually find if I am losing a close game in the late innings the CPU Manager pulls his starter when I get the tying run on base or up at the plate. Trying to avoid their starter being responsible for the loss I guess. Happened all the time last year too.

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

I bumped the manager hook down to 4 and throwing errors down to 4

I will play a bunch of games and see if this sticks.

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

Loving this slider set so far...but the one thing I didn't like is the sluggish response time of the fielders. It seems as though the infielders are a half second slow in reacting to ground balls this year.

To help compensate, I have bumped fielder response time up to 10 and reduced fielder run speed to 3...and I'm really liking the results. More ground balls are finding holes...but sharply hit balls that should be fielded are being fielded. Another nice side-effect is that plays at first base are much closer and I'm seeing a few more infield base hits...especially on those ground balls hit deep into the holes.

I already bumped Manager hook to 4 but its kind of tricky more a logic thing that you cant perfect so you have to choose the lesser of both.

? why throw errors to 4 hu or Cpu issue ? I saw too many on Allstar so I put my fieldering down to Veteran as on AS level it was way too sensitive for me.

Keep up the good work

Oh one other question if Im getting too many hits singles through infield but I think my hitting is fine / fair so what would you suggest ? maybe something subtle like timing or stride ?
I mean nothing looks out of place more a Batting Avg pct thing especially since Im using the Chi Sox alot or maybe im on a hot streak ?

I was seeing too many human throwing errors turning double plays with the flip. Routine DP's were becoming an adventure it seemed. I don't know but I am trying it. It is based on fielder rating's...but Jeter in 3 straight games blew 3 DP's.

No that does not happen IRL. So I am trying this.

Manager Hook...yeah looks like a logic thing. I just want to see how it plays with it at 4 vs 5. One click makes a difference on a lot of the sliders. Making sliders for The Show is not as hard as other games because of how tight it is out of the box.

Man I can't stop playing!!

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

Hey A&S your sliders look great, Im not the greatest at this game havent played since 2011 but I think playin every game I'll get the experience for the difficulty level haha... I hope to get the game at the end of the week, but I had a question when your batting how do you do contact swing, normal swkng and power swing? Also Im not use to doing Spring Training, do I just pust in the main starters a few innings and then some prospects or?? Any help greatly appreciated.

[ultimatefighter]

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

Sorry I meant I know the different buttons for the swing types, but how do you select when up to bat for your players? Like how many times, player types and all that?

Same here and I just cant understand how they cant get the game speed better out of the box it should be more like yours and your sliders make it even more fun from a visual standpoint , So cool to see hits get by the slower out fielders and standup doubles and hardly no choppy animations and tons more .
Oh I was ahead 2-0 C Sox at Minny and they yanked their starting pitcher after 1 hit and no outs in the 6th and only 69 pitches with manager hook at 5 for what its worth

??? do you think the steal ability slider is reversed as some say ?

Huge question and I think I know the answer , so you gave Hu a power advantage in sliders and cpu lessened because at default cpu has more power right ?
