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

These sliders are awesome. One thing though that I can't seem to quite figure out though is I am almost always early on EVERY type of off-speed pitch. Fastballs though I am usually "Good" or I would guess "just early". However when I up the pitch speed I still am ok with the fastballs and yet still early on all of the off-speed stuff.

I never had this issue in previous games but this year unless I'm sitting on a off-speed pitch I am always early. Does camera angle play a part in judging off-speed pitches more this year than in previous years or something?

Or is it this year pitchers throw way more secondary pitches than in previous versions?

Why foul frequency so low?

100% agree, I have been using the OSFM 2.1 with Ridins pitch edits (with 55's help) and it's a whole new world. Love it. So much more realistic.

I am seeing far too many foul outs. Been playing with it here for over a month...and love the fact foul outs are dropping, and AB's are rewarded for being a patient hitter.


It's not for everyone. If your a free swinger...keep it where it was. If your a really patient hitter it will feel far more organic and be rewarding.

I just can't get away from quick counts. I tried a few full games and I just seem to get lazy with my pitching. When playing quick counts I am focused every pitch and I think it adds to the difficulty. I do agree with you in that you miss a lot on the presentation side by playing quick counts, but I'm ok with that.

I'm the same exact way man. I'm so much more focused with quick counts. Maybe it's an ADHD thing but I just can't sit for 40-45min to play one game knowing there's another 161 to play!

To help myself even more now I only pitch or hit each game and simulate the other half inning. Love it! I'm finishing games within 25-30 minutes and am able to play every single game.

Loving the new Fielding with these settings.... So much more realistic. Gonna have to wait a few days to try the foul settings had to pack the ps4 as decorators are in :-(

The only problem I have is difficulty levels... On veteran with the adjustments I felt I was hitting too much.... But all star I am struggling. Yet whenever I try dd I can't seem to get the damn level off of rookie lol

Ive been playing on default sliders for about 40 games w the cubs. I was noticing isuues w the fielders catching everything. I just happen to check in here and found you changed those settings so i tried them out.

At first i was worried because i was getting a lot better hits and fielding seemed right on but easier for my offense. Then it started happening on the other side and i was ok liking this. After a few games it has been great. Even play and it really brings out the ratings. Base running is right on. Awesome find sir.

If you guys have difficulty with the difficulty use dynamic it has been great with me. Imo

Yeh I want to use dd just can't seem to get the level off rookie.... I would like to play veteran++ just can't seem to get it there lol

The new adjustments are awesome. Now I just gotta tell myself not to send McCann and Tex when Adam Jones picks up the ball.

Play your rtts character if you have one. Thats an easy way to raise the level to where u want. I did it for my pitching and batting then went into franchise mode and started my season with the difficulty from the rtts carring over with my profile

The new adjustments really separate the men from the boys in the speed department. Fast guys are real fast and slow guys run like they have refrigerators on their back.

I've played two games with these, and to me the fielders seem too slow across the board on 0. Even fast guys. I'm experimenting with the fielder run speed and base runner speed at the same setting (settled at 3 for now). It seems to make sense to have them balanced, however I have no idea if they are in fact "balanced" at the same setting. I'll play a few at these settings and see what I think. Not to take away from Armors thread here, let me know if I am being out of line here.

ETA: actually I just fired up my game and I have them both on 2.

I have always said use my set as a base to make your own tweaks. I would encourage you though to play at least a dozen games with various teams to really see and feel the difference. To me it is night and day now....and OF play looks and feels far more organic. No more rocket OF's unless your seeing the truly elite speed guys like Cain, Elsbury, Jones, Cutch etc. a slow,lumbering LF is now a true defensive liability.

That is what I was aiming for....i saw some others adopting this before I gave it a try. It really is a game changer for me personally.
