Re: Itbeme23 Sliders - Vet Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching Emphasis on Accurate Strike

By the way, in order to combat the short outings that I've been experiencing against CPU pitchers, I will be testing Human Foul Frequency at 4 for my next game.

[itbeme23]

Re: Itbeme23 Sliders - Vet Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching Emphasis on Accurate Strike

Game 10

*Human Foul Frequency: 4
*CPU Manager Hook: 4

LAD: 6 10 1
PIT: 6 10 0

*Stopped playing game because of multiple glitches that led to skewed scoring stats.

Starting Pitching:

B. Anderson: 7.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 94 Pitches, 63 Strikes, 31 Balls, 67% Overall Strikes, 59% First Pitch Strikes
A. Burnett: 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 82 Pitches, 56 Strikes, 26 Balls, 68% Overall Strikes, 52% First Pitch Strikes

Team Pitching:

LAD: 128 Pitches, 88 Strikes, 40 Balls, 69% Overall Strikes, 59% First Pitch Strikes
PIT: 165 Pitches, 107 Strikes, 58 Balls, 65% Overall Strikes, 63% First Pitch Strikes

Team Strikeouts:

LAD: 9
PIT: 4

Team Walks:

LAD: 2
PIT: 0

Team Errors:

LAD: J. Pederson (Fielding)

Hitting:

LAD:
2B: J. Uribe
3B: Y. Puig
HR: Y. Grandal
10 Hits/39 At-Bats -= .256 BA

PIT:
2B: N. Walker
HR: A. McCutchen (2), F. Cervelli
10 Hits/39 At-Bats = .256 BA

Notes:

I stopped playing this game in the 10th inning, because there was a couple really glitchy plays that happened during the game that resulted in me scoring some runs that I shouldn't. The only reason that I didn't stop the game when they happened was because I wanted the pitching stats, which by the way, look pretty damn good with the settings I'm currently using. I'm pretty happy with all of the stats in this game. Might try to get one more test game in tonight.

Re: Itbeme23 Sliders - Vet Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching Emphasis on Accurate Strike

A quick question about this classic pitching system as i said before i was a meter guy all my gaming with baseball games...do I hold the button and wait for the vibration or do i set an internal clock in my head when to let it go? for best results from you classic experts?

Ok the long you hold the x button down the harder the fastball is thrown and less accurate and your fatigue goes down faster. With breaking balls the break on them is more. What I do is just tap the x button, unless I do need extra zip, but use it wisely cause you are going to get tired faster.

6 Hits/32 At-Bats = .188 BA

WAS:
2B: Y. Escobar
8 Hits/30 At-Bats = .267 BA

Notes:

I definitely think I'm onto something good stats-wise with the settings I'm currently testing. Not quite "original post" worthy yet, but I'm hoping to have a good idea of which direction these will be going in by the end of the weekend.

This game was a good one, with the battle of the aces. It's funny (in a good way) what happens when you face a dominant pitching staff. Against Pittsburgh, there was plenty of offense, and then I hit Max Scherzer, and my hitting pretty much comes to a stand-still. He was pretty much unhittable for the majority of the game. The only three hits were just line drives that found holes, nothing major. Howie Kendrick was credited with a triple because of a failed diving attempt by Bryce Harper. Scherzer was pulled in the 7th after giving up a leadoff single to Gonzalez, striking out Kendrick looking, then hitting Grandal. Now, this is a questionable decision by the Nats' manager, but I imagine it's still in the realm of reality. Scherzer was approaching 100 pitches, and the Nats have a killer bullpen, so the decision could make sense. But, on the flip side, Scherzer is one of a handful of elite starters in the game, and I would've kept him out there to earn every penny of that $30 million he's making this year. But that's just me. Overall, a great game. I made it interesting in the bottom of the night against Storen, but he was able to induce a rally-killing double play and a popout to end the game.

Any thoughts/observations on Manager Hook???

Until tomorrow....

Funny you bring up the Mgr hook I actually thought it played well yesterday..from what I can remember here is the scenario

Porcello has a good first inning -

second inning he gets into major trouble loads the bases faces 8 batters - and If i werent texting while playing I would have swung at the 3-1 down the middle changeup to polanco instead of thinking the count is 3-0 and taking a pitch with the bases loaded (LOL) - so he gets out of the second giving up 2 runs

third inning has a good inning - fourth starts out giving up a HR to josh harrison and a single to polanco and a single to cutch and Farrell yanked him and brought in a lefty to face walker. I was like damn 4 innings down 3-0 and 2 on and Farrell isn't messing around. And this was with what you posted on the first page.

Re: Itbeme23 Sliders - Vet Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching Emphasis on Accurate Strike

Brand new to "The Show" franchise and your sliders looked interesting, so I gave them a try. Only played one game so far with them, but here it is (for what it's worth). I was the Pirates:

CHC 1 6 0
PIT 6 10 1

CHC
2B: Olt
3B: Montero
SB: Rizzo, Denorfia

Lester: 4.2 IP, 7 hits, 6 runs, 1 BB, 2 SO (69 pitches, 71% strikes)
Jackson: 1.1 IP, 2 hits, 1 BB, 2 SO (25 pitches, 60% strikes)
Motte: 2.0 IP, 1 hits, 1 BB (22 pitches, 73% strikes)

PIT
2B: Hart
3B: Harrison
HR: McCutchen
RBI: Harrison 2, Polanco, McCutchen 3
E: Hart (Throwing)
SB: Polanco

Liriano: 5 IP, 4 hits, 1 run, 1 BB, 6 SO (79 pitches, 65% strikes)
Pimental: 3.1 IP, 1 hit, 1 BB, 3 SO (38 pitches, 76% strikes)
Melancon: .2 IP, 1 hit (10 pitches, 70% strikes)

WP: Liriano

Like I said, it was my first game with your sliders, but it played pretty realistically. I did notice a couple of times the outfielders threw the ball and they were WAY off target. In fact, the Cubs got their run because my RF threw the ball over the 3rd baseman's head and into the stands when Montero hit his triple.

Other than that, this seems pretty legit. I'm going to play a few more this weekend and see how it goes, but so far so good.

Game 2 with sliders (I'm Pirates again)

CHC 2 6 1
PIT 3 10 0

CHC
2B: Rizzo
RBI: Rizzo
SAC: Arrieta
GIDP: Castro
E: Arrieta (fielding)
CS: Coghlan

Arrieta: 6 IP, 6 hits, 2 runs, 2 BB, 5 SO (89 pitches, 66% strikes)
Motte: .1 IP, 2 hits, 1 run (9 pitches, 56% strikes)
Turner: 1.2 IP, 2 hits, 1 SO (22 pitches, 64% strikes)

PIT
3B: Harrison
RBI: Polanco, Marte, Cervelli
SF: Marte
SAC: Cole
GIDP: McCutchen
SB: Harrison

Cole: 7IP, 4 hits, 1 run, 1 BB, 8 SO (90 pitches, 70% strikes)
Hughes: 1 IP, 2 hits, 1 run, 1 SO (14 pitches, 79% strikes)
Melancon: 1 IP (4 pitches, 100% strikes)

WP: Hughes

It's only been 2 games, but I think these sliders are legit. The game plays out pretty realistically. I think the only problem is not issuing enough walks, although that is operator error because I tend to challenge hitters and throw a lot of strikes.

Re: Itbeme23 Sliders - Vet Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching Emphasis on Accurate Strike

Guys,

I think we've gotten enough of a consensus about the bad throws going from outfielders to cut-off men.

It's time to make an official change:

Outfielder Throwing Errors: 4

I've had it at this setting for the last three games, and haven't seen any wonky plays like when it was at default, so that's a good thing. I think the same adjustment may be needed for Infielder Throwing Errors as well, because I see cut-off men consistently making poor decisions throwing to bases or home plate (which I said a few games ago). I think that slider may affect the CPU's decision making on whether to throw the ball to prevent a baserunner from advancing versus "eating" the ball. I'm going to keep an eye on that in the next few test games.

Original Slider Post Updated.

Ok the long you hold the x button down the harder the fastball is thrown and less accurate and your fatigue goes down faster. With breaking balls the break on them is more. What I do is just tap the x button, unless I do need extra zip, but use it wisely cause you are going to get tired faster.

awesome thanks alot, I thought it was holding it too long I was doing it wrong - so its just a feel and strat - in that case this is a great thing...thanks for the tip

Well it figures as soon as I say something about errors I would end up with no errors for the game. Alot of power in this game again, but this game 5 and my power streak can end at some time. This was the best pitched game for me I hope to have another one just like this next game with King Flex on the mound.

One one question for you guys not slider related, I was thinking about bringing back A-Rod to the M's, and the Yanks want only Rameriz for him. What do you guys think? Thanks for your feedback on this.

I think you should leave the hook at 4 I'm seeing a good mixture of getting pulled or bad mistakes that managers do. So far I'm big fan.

Re: Itbeme23 Sliders - Vet Hitting/A.S. Classic Pitching Emphasis on Accurate Strike

Okay, I don't know if it's just me or what, but to me it seems like the CPU tries to steal way too much and in the weirdest situations. Yadiar Molina just attempted to steal second. This should not be happening, but it seems like every time someone is on first there is a 50/50 chance that they might attempt a steal, no matter their ratings.

Man two games in a row with no errors I'm liking it so far. The power number and weird, it seems they bounce from team to team. Just like mlb....hhhhhmmmm. once again King Felx has failed me I must jinx him or just over do Pitches in the stie zone cause I want him to strike out every one. I will watch myself when he Pitches again.

Well the M'S are 3 and 3 on the young season man I hope this tend is not an all year thing. I got your Dodgers up next itbeme, with Greinke, Ryu, and Dustin McCown pitching. Well I know I got at least the last game in the series. Lol

You're going to take on that contract? see how the finances are bro if you're playing franchise, that's why he probably comes so cheap for just Ramirez as you say. plus he is only a 77 overall right?
