Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Not gonna lie, that post made me FINALLY switch from Zone Hitting to Timing. I still use these sliders, they're a stellar set.

I will never go back to zone. I want my hits to be because of my players attributes, not where I choose to place the PCI.

Lay off the stuff on the corners and wait for your pitch. Sometimes you can't do this but more times then not you can be patient. If you start to swing at everything then the CPU confidence will sky rocket and will be untouchable. Work that count!

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Don't do what I did. I starting playing a franchise. It wasn't going to well. I was
4-12. After I lost 8 games in a row, I got so frustrated that I started to sim the whole season. I simmed about 24 games. I took a look at my record, and I was 19-21. I started to play the season again. Now I'm 24-25...3.5 games out of first. So If you get frustrated like I did. Just walk away from your ps3 for a while and come back refreshed. Because it was the spur of the moment thing, I was so frustrated that I thought it was only going to get worst. So, if you get like me just hang in their it probably will get better. I just wish I didn't sim those 24 games.

On a lighter note, PB your sliders rock!!!!!

For real guys. If you play this game constantly worrying about how you're going to do in said game, it's going to screw with you mentally and make you lose focus. I lost focus my first 6 games because I couldn't get anything going at all. Your mind wants to tell you it's the hitting mechanic, and sometimes you forget that you can slump in a baseball game. I strive for 100% realism every year in this game, and you can't achieve that by winning all the time. I'm on a 6 game winning streak right now, and starting tomorrow it's possible I could lose the next 4 in a row or something. Phillies are smoking hot right now, but my next 3 games are against the Reds who are definitely more challenging than the Marlins are. Patience is definitely your friend in this game. In the Marlins series alone I walked 10 times.

I just happened to let it get the best of me in the early going. Something we are all guilty of at some point in time with The Show.

I jinxed myself with those words. The 4 games I've played since this post I have lost. Haha.

Make that 5 in a row. Haha. Been a rough 5 games as I have only been able to score 8 runs in the 5.

So I guess I'm the only one who uses pure analog

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Is timing hitting based on player attributes more? I've been using zone, but I'm thinking about switching. It seems more realistic when you have to move the stick toward the ball, though.

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

I got frustrated in the 1st game of my Astro's chise and Yu Darvish completely OWNED me...LOL!! 15 K's and I struck out a total of 19 times..SMH...I only lost 1 - 0 which I was surprised by. I pitched great on the other side.

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Game 2 won 1-0 again

I had bases loaded with 0 outs and i managed to screw that up and i woud also get caught trying to go home with Prado on a wild pitch
couple of times i left the bases loaded was lucky to get out of it

Hill went 3-4 with a RBI to lead us on offense

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

So I've tested these sliders for three games and I'm really satisfied with them. This is the first set I've tried since I bought the game and I think these will be the last set I use. Definitely more difficult than the default difficulty levels, but it's fair. Computers seem to work the count a little more and will take advantage of bad pitches. Hitting is noticeably more difficult and I think it's more do to the faster, more appropriate speed of the pitches. Thanks.

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Am I the only one seeing an issue with infielders? CPU moves fine but it seems my guys have horrible reactions. I cant even come close to diving. Its like their first two steps are in quick sand.

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Make that 5 in a row. Haha. Been a rough 5 games as I have only been able to score 8 runs in the 5.

nah I use it too

I am having serious issues with my infielders definitely not a slider issue but there are times when i am pressing the button to throw and my infielder does not throw the ball and i have some friends experiencing the same issue

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Just had my first walk-off win of the season! What a game! I beat the Marlins 7-6 with a 9th inning comeback!

The Marlins scored first in the game in the 3rd inning. The Phillies answered back in the bottom of the 3rd with back-to-back home runs from John Mayberry Jr. and Erik Kratz. The Marlins tied the game in the 6th on a ground out to third from Marcell Ozuna. They then proceeded to take the 4-2 lead in the 7th on a 2-run bloop hit by Justin Ruggiano. Then in the bottom of the 7th, Ryan Howard walked and Michael Young drove him in with an RBI double to make it 4-3. John Mayberry Jr. drew a walk, Erik Kratz struck out, and Laynce Nix was hit by a pitch to load the bases for Jimmy Rollins who laced a single to right field to score Michael Young and tie the game at 4-4. Top of the 8th didn't start out to well for Chad Durbin who allowed a base hit to Austin Kearns and then a 2-run home run to Adeiny Hechavarria to give the Marlins the 6-4 lead. A scoreless bottom of the 8th and top of the 9th.

The bottom of the 9th started out well for the Phillies as Domonic Brown drew a leadoff walk. Brown gets to second on a passed ball. John Mayberry Jr. strikes out and Erik Kratz grounded out. In comes the last hope for the Phillies in pinch hitter Kevin Frandsen who works a full count and hits a single to left. Jimmy Rollins is up next and hits a double to right center to score both Brown from third and Frandsen from first. Chase Utley steps to the plate and walks the Phillies off with a single to right field for the 7-6 win!

Whew! It was pretty awesome. I'm currently 15-14 in my franchise and having a blast! The one downside is Ryan Howard for me. He is currently in an 0-18 slump and is batting .167 with 5 home runs and 12 RBI on the season. Ouch!

Re: ***Perfect Sliders 2013*** (HOF/AS)

Humbling game this is, started out 6-0 with the Braves and tearing the cover off the baseball. Started wondering if I should move up the difficulty and then promptly have lost 3 of my last 4 including 2 of 3 to the Marlins! Sliders playing out very nicely.
