Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

PsychoBulk can you explain what made you lower baserunning speed to 4? I have been doing CPU vs CPU testing and just from what I see there are lots of times that batters will beat out little dribblers and chops in front of home plate. The catcher and pitcher seem to have a very pronounced delayed reaction.

I play on PS3 so maybe its platform specific, just wondering what you saw that made you change it?

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

I'm kinda wondering why CPU Pick-off remaind default? I thought the slider influenced the frequency of pickoff attempts and I'm only seeing the CPU attempt a pick-off when I take an extra step. Thoughts?

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

Veteran seems too easy, too many strikes thrown by CPU, but All-Star I feel like my timing is just completely off.
Wondering what you are using.

All Star across the board.

Yeah, thats the issue with Veteran, it pounds the strike zone to make it easier to hit for the user, so is no help in trying to draw walks etc, it artificially kills them.

The reason ive gone to 4 is for that very reason, too many dribblers and choppers beat out than is likely on par with reality.

It also ties in with my OF Arm strength down to 4 and my reaction to 7, watch a replay on default reaction, there is way too much of a delay before your player reacts on defense, on 7 that unrealistic delay is all but eliminated.

Its always been that way, you are given a lead automatically, if you dont take another step the CPU will NEVER try and pick you off, been that way for years with this series.

Great feedback and questions guys, more welcome

Psycho. what camera angles are you using for hitting/pitching?

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

Broadcast for pitching (so it gives me a different feel at every ballpark) and for hitting, a very slightly modified version of "Catcher", just bought back a little bit so i can see all the white lines of the batters box.

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

3 games and a chunk of variety, all which I love. The thing is, im playing the game, not thinking about sliders... not thinking, oh that could be tweaked... im just playing and enjoying Baseball and that to me is a sign that these are on the right track if not already there

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

Finished my first game with the sliders.

The outfielder reaction/speed seems much more realistic. Saw a few balls hit between in the gaps that would have been caught with default sliders either land just outta reach, or when they were caught it was at a full run and didn't give the outfielders a chance to set up and get the ball back in to prevent tagging up.


Pulse control seems alot more realistic as well, even with a small circle I still miss my spots occasionally.


Everything seems well balanced, loving the results Psychobulk.

The corner outfielders are getting to base hits down the line way too fast imo. Not sure if that has to do with the higher fielder reaction.

Yep, as it should be.

Hitting the marker perfectly small shouldnt ever result in a perfect pitch every time otherwise whats the point, its more likely to with an ace compared to an average pitcher, as it should be.

I think thats more to do with the fact they play too shallow, even on "normal" setting, and have done on this series like, forever, its something no sliders can really fix.

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

[LingeringRegime]

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

So All-Star Difficulty and Pulse/Directional right?

I will give these a go tonight.

Re: &lt;-Perfect Sliders 2015-&gt;

Is it cheating to have the hot and cold zones showing for opponent? I figure IRL they would know this data and call pitches accordingly.
