Armor & Sword's MLB The Show 15 Timed (Directional)/Classic Simulation Sliders

Re: Armor & Sword's MLB The Show 15 Timed (Directional)/Classic Simulation Sliders

Been running some test sims to test the injury slider and at default, injuries are woefully misrepresented with just a handful of players in each teams' systems being DL'd! As Brian has just stated, when simming, the max slider value is best, although still low when compared to real life.
For instance, just last week(April 10-16) there were 84 minor leaguers placed on the 7 day DL.

I have played 10 games with these and they are working out nicely. Only thing is me and the CPU are only striking out on average 4 times a game. Not bad kinda low. I will keep testing, but if strikeouts remain low, what can I change? Thanks.

I faced Frank Viola and Bert Blyleven (currently playing in a 4 game series in my 1987 year one Yankees franchise).

Those two All-Star (and one HOF) pitchers fanned be 28 times over the course of 2 games.

It was probably the most horrid hitting I have had in years playing this game. They had nasty breaking and off-speed stuff that had me off balance big time. It was crazy.


Play a season. Then let me know. Remember I play every game. If your playing one simming 4-5 etc....your not going to get a true sample of the ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys of the marathon known as a 162 game season.

With QC's I am able to play 2 seasons (every game total of 324 games) inside a year. I also play this game 5-6 days a week easy.

Will these work OK if I don't use quick counts?

Played with these sliders in about 50 games, I am getting great results. Some games are pitchers duels and some feature a ton of offense. This has been the most fun I've had playing MLB: The Show. Thanks for these awesome sliders!

Absolutely!

But for the ultimate simulation in regards to pitching stats (walks, strikeouts) I highly suggest Quick Counts.

But the game plays marvelous without quick counts.

Great work on these sliders guys. I was playing with Danshins but I was getting slaughtered every game. I switched to these and found greater success but they are still challenging.

I am not using quick counts either and have had great games. My ritual is flipping a coin before every at bat. Heads = hit away. Tails = Take pitch until strike. Seems to work well for me.

I play every game without quick counts. I'll play 20 more games and see if I see more K's. Thanks.

I've been playing a lot of one-off games with different teams, just to try to get a feel for the game as I attempt to decide what club I want to be in franchise, and thanks mainly to these sliders, every game has been fantastic, varied, and spot on as far as realism goes(even with QC's). My last game was a back and forth war between the Orioles(me) and the Mets at Citi Field. Thanks to a 7th inning bomb by Chris Davis that reached the second deck in right, the O's prevailed by the score of 5-4. Tremendous job A&S.

Ok.... So I am new to baseball (from the UK) but loving this game. How many walks should there be roughly on average.? I've been playing every pitch and maybe give up 4 or 5 walks a game and walk myself roughly the same

Also been using these sliders but with meter pitching. Is it really that much better with classic ? Seems like I am taking more control away? With classic does the difference in pitchers show better?

Re: Armor & Sword's MLB The Show 15 Timed (Directional)/Classic Simulation Sliders

Any suggestions on how to get the cpu to chase and swing and miss more? My strikeout totals and strike percentages are good for the most part but some games I have trouble getting them to swing and miss especially earlier in counts. I'm playing with the full game all star sliders you posted. The games have been great except for that. Thanks

You need to mix your pitches up well and often and do not fall into the same pattern. Also do not be afraid to throw pitches out of the zone early or late in the count.

Take some chances to get them to chase.

Avg for walks is 3. Your doing fine in that department. As far as classic vs meter you have far more user input in the result (dice roll) with meter than you do with classic.

Classic uses the player ratings fist and foremost. But trust me there is absolute user skill involved to be a solid pitcher with classic. But with classic you will see how much better the simulation of the game is.

1. 5th starters....will typically pitch like 5th starters

2. Super clean screen

3. Some days your pitchers have great stuff, good stuff, average stuff and bad stuff. The random dice roll is far more prevalent using classic pitching.


It's a blast. And I can assure you that once you get the hang of it....you will never look back.

Using classic pitching, you take more of the "human" element out of the game, meaning pitcher ratings matter more using classic. As for walks, it varies slightly per team, but you're looking for roughly 3 to 4 per team per game.

Thanks for the quick reply. You out did yourself this year. Every time I think something might be in need of a tweak, I come to the quick realization that it doesn't lol. You the man!

Thanks for the quick reply! It might actually be more like 3 walks than 4 or 5. But i definetly am more disciplined now than when I started.

Will give it a go. And will give qc a go. I played them in my one and only online game and I found I was striking out all the time. I couldn't play myself in at all. But will give it a go
