Re: Graduated Sliders: MLB The Show '15

I'll be out of town the rest of the week, so I'll resume my games probably on Monday and get caught up during the All Star break.

Mike,

What rosters are you using for your franchise? I've really enjoyed using your sliders and feel they play really well, even with using pulse pitching instead of meter. My only concern is my lack of power/homeruns. I am playing as the Braves with Willards roster, so I'm trying to determine if my team is just that weak (which could be the case since the Braves don't have a whole lot of thump irl) or if it's a slider issue.

I'm 23 games into the season, and have hit 11 total homers (homer-less in our last 7 games), which I'm ok with considering the roster, but the weird thing is where the homers are coming from. I've hit 3 with Markakis and 3 with Callaspo, one each with Bethancourt, C. Johnson, K. Johnson, Gomes, and Eric Young. Freeman has yet to hit a homerun this season and has 5 doubles, with a .337/.424/.395. line

I've seen similar patterns and my Tigers are also low in HRs. Cabrera has been bad for me, really.

Last game I played w human power at 6 and hit one with Kinsler who leads the team with 12 now.

Cespedes is the only other original player with at least 10 HRs.

I'll try it again now at 6...

Mike for "For simming accurate CG. Must change to 7 at the start of a game and then back to 0 before advancing a day"
So when I go in and start my game, before first pitch, I should pause, go to sliders and change HUM and CPU Stamina to 7 and then when the game is over before I exit, I should go put it back to 0. Is that the best way to do it?

So frustrating when your team is cold. Cabrera is a mental train wreck for me haha.

You have to reset it after. Can't do it post-game.

OSFM original rosters but then one where someone adjusted the 40 man rosters and ensured each organization had 3 closers.

Adjusted human power and foul ball frequency.

Sounds good Mike. I'll give it a try.

Re: Graduated Sliders: MLB The Show '15

As I approach 2 games short of the All-Star break, here are the league team stats that we are either 1st or 30th in:

HRs 30th with 54. ATL 29th with 57.

Stolen bases 1st with 110. KC 2nd with 78.

GIDP 30th with 88. CIN 29th with 75.

Assists 1st with 914. KC 2nd with 860.*

*This is now correcting itself with more user Ks while pitching.
----------------------------

I feel kicking up HRs is a must, but I'm not sure power is the best solution. I want to take some of those GIDP and convert them into more hits, BBs, etc, with hopefully some more HRs.

Honestly, my Tigers aren't a big HR hitting team anymore with just really 5 guys who could hit 20+, and that's a stretch for Kinsler, but I'll include him because he's having a great year. With Cabrera being awful, it's not far-fetched to see us last in HRs.

Instead, I'm going to try this:
User contact 6
User power 5
User foul frequency 0
User solid hits 6


Power at 6 seems to speed the ball up a tad too much for my liking. Therfore, I'm hoping to increase HRs by just increasing hits overall (we're 26th) while also turning some of those GIDP balls into hits.
