Dude, where is your team ranked as far as offensive stats in your franchise? You seem like you've been raking for the majority of the games you've played, so I imagine you'll be at the top, or pretty close to it.

Get ready to come back to earth REALLY soon. LOL

I will check when I get back on after the kids go to bed, but you are right I have been killing it lately and I am just waiting for that fall. The good thing is it's not going to happen this next series cause I got the rangers on tap, unless I run into Yu Darvish, then I'm in a world of hurt. I'll just IBB Beltre and Fielder and I got it made. Lol

Have you been using my sliders for your entire franchise? Those pitching stats aren't where they should be. Even though the Nats have a bunch of talented arms, have an ERA of 2, isn't realistic at all. If you're looking for realism as far as stats go, I would suggest restarting your franchise.

These sliders look good. I intend to try them.

What's your opinion of analog pitching?

Thanks.

Re: Itbeme23 Sim Sliders - Veteran Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching & OCD Accurate Strik

Also with respect to that first stike %, is there anything to your approach that might affect that?

If you're a patient hitter, is it possible the CPU would increase that first strike % in response?

Hey man, I haven't played with Analog Pitching since it first came out. Even then, it wasn't really my thing. I liked the "human input" part of it, but to me, the results were just a little bit to erratic for me. In my opinion, it's a lot like Meter Pitching, where you have to make pretty substantial adjustments to the Human Control/Consistency pitching sliders in order to get a realistic result. With Classic pitching, results are determined by the individual pitcher's ratings. And for somebody who's as "stat happy" as I am, it's right up my alley. If that's what you're into, I encourage you to give these a shot with Classic.

Also with respect to that first stike %, is there anything to your approach that might affect that?

If you're a patient hitter, is it possible the CPU would increase that first strike % in response?

I can only speak for myself on this, but I usually take 90% of first pitches from the CPU. My goal has always been to be a patient hitter, and I usually see a minimum of 4 pitches per at-bat. My approach at the plate stays pretty consistent throughout the game, but I may change it depending on the hitting situation. The first pitch kind of shapes my approach for that particular at-bat, if that makes sense.

Here's a quick snapshot of what my hitting approach is:

1st pitch: Taking unless situation dictates otherwise.

0-1: My approach is usually dictated over the course of the game. If it's early, there's a good chance that I'm going to take another pitch to try to even up the count. However, if the CPU has been consistently trying to get ahead, then I will look for something to hit on this pitch. If it's good, then I'm taking a rip at it.

1-0: I take the "gotta be yours" approach on this count. Most of the time, I'm trying to work the count to 2-0, so I can see a fastball. However, if the pitcher throws me a cookie to try to even up the count, I'm swinging.

2-0: Looking for a fastball over the middle of the plate, particularly up in the zone.

3-0: I take this pitch 95% of the time, unless the situation dictates otherwise. On this count, I'm trying to work the walk.

1-1: "Gotta be yours" still applies here. There are "hitter's" strikes and there are "pitcher's" strikes. I'm only swinging if it's a good pitch to hit. There's not really a downside here. You either swing at a good pitch, or you take a pitch that would've resulted in a strike or an out anyway.

2-1: "Gotta be yours". I'm only swinging if it's a pitch over the plate and up in the zone.


3-1: Your ideal hitter's count. I'm only swinging at a fastball down the middle.

0-2, 1-2, 2-2: Full on protect mode here. Anything close, you gotta swing.

3-2: This is where I've always had problems. Although I'm a really patient hitter, I've always had trouble drawing walks, because I get a bit jumpy on full counts. I have gotten a lot better though. This sounds cheesy, but I tell myself before every payoff pitch, "Relax". I've been drawing more walks ever since I started that.

If I were you, I'd do it. It gives you a chance to kind of wipe the slate clean. You get to start from scratch, and maybe you can improve with your hitting, while getting more realistic stats across the board. I know it hurts, trust me. I restarted my Dodgers franchise last year at the All-Star break!!! But I just wasn't getting the stats I was looking for, which brought me back to slider making in the first place.

Hence, this thread.... LOL

Okay back to game 1 lol its okay though because this is the LAST chise i will ever start with the save transfer to next yr just a question what roster do you use? OSFM I'm guessing

Yes, I use the OSFM rosters. In order to save setup time, I'd see if anybody has posted an actual franchise file with all the Opening Day lineups/rotations/DLs already done. I did it myself before I started my franchise, and it took me about 6 hours to do. Again, that's only if it's important to you. I like everything to be set up exactly as it is in real-life on Opening Day, then I let the CPU manage their teams from there. I use 30-team control, that way nothing crazy happens as far as trades, waivers, etc.

I have a master franchise file with all of that stuff done, but I've never uploaded a file like that before. If you were interested, I could find out how to do so, but I wouldn't be able to get it uploaded until tomorrow.

Re: Itbeme23 Sim Sliders - Veteran Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching & OCD Accurate Strik

Remember that I am only through 12 games so anything is possible by the 30 game mark..

Batting Average: .295 2nd
Runs: 66 T-5th
Hits: 125 T-5th
Doubles: 31 1st
Triples: 4 T-4th
HR: 16 T-7th
RBI: 63 T-8th
Walks: 20 30th (still need to be way more patient at the plate but hey I'm only 2 down from the Rockies at 22)
Strike Outs: 61 2nd

ERA: 2.72 3rd
ER: 32 1st (Atlanta is 2nd with 34)
BB: 26 2nd
K: 66 28th

But once again I am only 12 games in so I am taking caution with these numbers right now.
I am using OSFM Roster Opening day V2.

Just a question are you guys seeing a lot of diving catches on balls in the outfield that look like there going to drop
