3 runs in 6 hit is pretty decent(realistic)
and you see that the cpu with that 5/13 slider gets pretty much like real baseball...2 in4..

Re: I am begging, PARED please make a VETERAN version of your SLIDERS please

no man , here is the other way around..left stick to guess (at the guess pitch zone-R2) and left stick is to adjust contact after the ball is pitched when i cant lock the picth(you know when you guess location wrongly...) this ishow my game plays and how its written in the tips screen and in my manual..
anyway, box score looks good so far...what do you think??
how were yourhits like HR??any 2 baggers?
post the full box score after the game..

I hold R2 and guess the location with the Right STICK, i can feel the thing inside vibrating in all the zones as i move it around then when it finds it it , the zone turns RED and i then use the LEFT STICK + X towards the direction i guessed. you got the PAL version or something?...

Re: I am begging, PARED please make a VETERAN version of your SLIDERS please

uhmm..see youre not guessing pitches...when you guess right the location of the pitch the zone doesnt goes red...istead you get locked in that picht as you will see a RED spot where the pitch will end up...the zone gets red when you guess the PITCH TYPE correctly..trust me on this one...just gues pitch with the left stick...and you will see..it will make the game better for you now..cause its realy easyer to hit a Hr when you guess both corretly as you get an extra power rating...
also how did your game end ??

Final Boxscore

R H E

4 8 1(ME)

3 6 0( AI )

I had a Homerun with Matsui( I guess the locaction LEFT AND LOW ON THE STRIKE ZONE with the right analog stick, then i used the left stick and when the ball came i pointed towards that area then pressed X and BAMM! Solo HR to the right side. as far as doubles goes well i play with AUTO base running, i had 1 with Jeter.

once i hit a gapper to the left the AI ran from 1st to 2nd but it was VERY CLOSE at 2nd. i think putting the Baserunning aggressiveness higher helps with the doubles cuz the AI will be basically more agreessive in the bases after a hit.

overall a good game and the stats seem right, i will try 2 more tomorrow and tell you about those cuz i want to see it is consistent, right now i must head to bet i feel mad tired, thanks for actually giving this thread some life, maybe Pared will come in here and help us both on getting the User Settings to act like the AI's consistantly.

I play with ONLY the strize zone ON, the rest of the stuff like "guess pitch display" i turn it off. it is not the pitch type i am guessing cuz remember I ONLY press X and then move the invisible guessing icon inside the strike zone. then i pretty much wait until the strikezone flashes RED as i roam inside the strizone basically pressing the possible guess chances i have inside the strize zone.

after that

i basically swing the bat like MVP baseball basically, meaning when i see the ball going to where i guessed, i use the left stick to aim towards that direction + X( at the SAME TIME ) and got contact with the ball.

try playing it the way i told you here, maybe thats why you getting too much hits. do one full game with pitch guess display off and the other pitching stuff in Simple, then tell me how it goes.

[QUOTE=brunnoce]me on this one...just gues pitch with the left stick...QUOTE]

Guess Pitch with the left stick?, don't you realize once you press R2 and then pick one of the pitches ( the face buttons ) that is basically you guessing the pitch?. first come guessing the pitch, meaning you pick it and the rest is the guessing the location session.

which I use the right stick to roam the strize zone as the pitcher is getting ready to pitch, then when it flashes red ( all over the outer sections) of the strize zone in a location.

I release the right stick ( and remember the location it flashed red ) then use the left stick towards that direction + x at the sametime and contact with the ball happens. dude try it this way, trust me it works and it makes it less fake then all that stuff you telling me about a red thing coming out and you hitting homers cuz of that red thing, just try it this way and tell me how it goes.

Re: I am begging, PARED please make a VETERAN version of your SLIDERS please

the pitch display isnt the red sport i told you..pitch display is that display down the corner where you see the kind of pitches you can gues(same pitches shown in the pitchers pitch menu) and as you press X youre guessing PITCH TYPE...motly fast ball..like i do..thats why the zone flashes red..when you guess right the pitch type..maybe you not awere of that..but you are guessing..let me explain to you..in veteran you will have not an icon to guess pithc, but 4 diferent zones:
----1
2 ______ 3
----4
imagene that..ok..so if you move you LEFT stick up while pressing R2 before the pitch you will guess anything that comes up in the zone, and the game will tell you that by lockiinh your swing there and showing you a red spot..you can see that in this movie where the guy plaing with sammy guessed right in the center(dead center is like guessed everytime..if you guess any zone)

ok just read this quote from OP mbl2006 review:
You can influence the trajectory of hits (fly/ground, etc.) with the right stick. It sounds complicated, but feels quite natural in practice. You’ll need to get a good eye for pitch speed and location. The “Guess Pitch” function really helps here, as you can guess not only the pitch type, but also the general location. If you guess correctly on the pitch type, you’ll get a visual cue and get more power on your hit. A correct guess on the location gives you an actual target to swing at. It’s the best system I’ve played at replicating the feeling of “sitting on a pitch”. Besides providing good hits, it also leads to more walks. I’m an inveterate hacker, but am seeing more far walks in “MLB 2006” than usual. The fact is, I usually swing because swinging is simply more fun than not doing anything, but “Guess Pitch” provides such good feedback on your guesses that you actually feel rewarded for “taking”, because you know that even though it may be in the strike zone, it’s not the pitch you’re looking for.

I don't know dude, i guess i have been playing in a weird new way or something and it has worked as i already proved to you my game versus baltimore tonight.

like i told you, try it the way i play for 1 full game. it might help you get realistic hits in the boxscore. anyways im out its 2 AM see you when i see you, thanks for making this thread into something helpful..peace!

I'll take a look at Veteran level tomorrow, after the Mets game.

Just a bit of advice so as not to piss the other forum members and admin off, you can always PM (personal message) someone if you need to refer to them directly.

Joe D.
Good job with you're veteran sliders. Why do you have the pitch speed up so high? John Smoltz was throwing 98 in the 8th inning, other than that I thought they were solid.

[JOEdellis]

Re: I am begging, PARED please make a VETERAN version of your SLIDERS please

thanks

I put it that fast for the AI, because that is where i found my medium between getting contact and getting also K'd by the AI. As far as to why USER pitch speed is at 18, i found that to me my medium for me striking them out and them getting hits off me, so it sort of worked both ways. now it could work better for you in a diffrent speed so try finding what speed you like and see how it goes.

Now i didn't even pay attention in terms of the effect on the starting pitchers, i usually just pitch my starters to the 7 and then bring in the relievers and then closer EVEN if the starter still pitching good. I like to get some work out my bullpen.
