I am in the midst of a 6 game losing streak in The Quest For Donny Baseball.

Nothing is going right. Absolutely nothing.

I am in the midst of a 6 game losing streak in The Quest For Donny Baseball.

Nothing is going right. Absolutely nothing.

My last 4 games have been terrible in the strikeout department. I have struck out 49 times in that span. Getting my hits and a few runs here and there but not seeing the ball that well at the moment.

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

That's been my biggest bugaboo. I am averaging 9 K's at the plate on this losing streak.

It's awful. Not seeing the ball and I am pressing at the plate now. The CPU is eating me alive. I am early or late on everything right now.

But.....I expected this. I was rolling through May and June in this franchise. And now find myself 6 games back because of this rut. I need to get it turned around or I may fall out of the race!!! I am still entrenched as the wild card, but I want that AL East division.

Hopefully tonight I break out.

Am loving your sliders although have struggled at bat at all star so have moved to veteran. Maybe it's as I play with the nationals but I find I don't give away many hits. What tweaks would you suggest to make it slightly harder?

Does anyone have suggestions to make this set a little harder? I love all the settings, but I noticed that starting last year, these have become a little easy for me.

1. I have been eating CPU pitchers for breakfast. I usually only strike out a couple times a game, and most of my outs come from balls caught deep in the outfield.

2. The CPU can't hit against me. I always strike quite a few guys out, and induce a ton of ground balls. They can start a rally every once and a while, but I can shut it down without too much trouble.

I'm using the regular all-star sliders with both regular games and quick count games. I love directional/classic, I love auto fielding/manual throwing, and I love quick counts. I just need more of a challenge.

Just simply kick up to HOF difficulty.

Time for you to move up a notch if this is the case.

Played two games with these last night and loved it. Pitched with Kershaw and lost 3-0 and followed that up with a 4-1 victory on the shoulders of Belsinger. I struck out 11+ times each game though but that's because my vision and ball reading sucks.

Question, I'm using the set with veteran hitting and quick counts, I've gotten a good mix of results pitching wise, but hitting in about 15 games, I've only gotten 4 or more runs twice and it's been a struggle most games, do u suggest going down to rookie hitting for a bit to settle in or should I up some of the sliders a bit and stay on veteran?

Use default hitting sliders on veteran...that should do the trick.

contact power and timing all to 5 (instead of 4).

Gave up on Quick Counts and man, I've really settled into a nice groove at the plate. I'm using Directional hitting with Analog input and also using Analog for pitching and throwing (manual fielding) and the game is an absolute blast.

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

I have found myself playing full gems more and more and more this season. It has a lot to do with playing online so much and no quick counts.

While I loved quick count on MLB 14.....I have gone away from it on 15 (again due to online play).

I love working counts. It is so satisfying.

And with Y2Y saves......I am in no rush anymore. But....I still will use them if I do happen to want to get in 3 games in under 3 hours.

Me too... I find I really couldn't get into any form of rhythm. Working the count is so satisfying like you say.

I am struggling with hitting though. I struggle converting my hits to runs. Any tips or adjustments to the sliders?

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

Hey just a Shout out to A&S on how realistic his sliders are where you can see anything just like a real MLB game .
I just couldnt get that sorry kid trophy to platinum the game in over 300 games and I came back to these and in one game I got it because you see everything with these so thanks again man smooth as silk again Sir but im sticking with QC !

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

I am officially back to only playing full games. I have stopped using quick counts altogether.

I am also going to be releasing some new tweaks. I have logged over 300 games so far. So I have a really good feel now (you would think right lol?).

One thing about going back to full counts is my approach feels better both pitching and especially hitting. And just an FYI the presentation of the game is far better and more immersive. I was missing out on a lot of great conversational exchanges by the broadcast team and a lot of awesome camera angles and replays.

Be on the look out for an update later this evening.

Can't wait to try out these tweaks once I finish work tonight! Like you I find full games so much better. Just never got into quick counts at all!
