Re: Mike Lowe MLB Show '16 Sliders

This was a game I played with the cpu solid contact slider back to 6 and strike frequency set to 4. Besides that everything was the same from the first post. The cpu was much more dangerous and even with the power slider to 5, they had 4 xbh with their 7 hits. The two homeruns they hit were mistake pitches right over the plate.

Now what I meant about throwing out of the zone is I felt at 5, they were nibbling a little too much on the corners that's all. When I set it to 4, they were a little less perfect and that's how I got the walks. I feel like I'm a pretty good patient hitter that likes to work the count, so when I strike out most of the time it's because I was fooled or that they threw a nasty pitch. The umps strike zone was a little forgiving this game and was calling strikes if the pitches hit a part of the corner. The cpu just felt a little more organic at 4 and got me to chase a few more.

Honestly having the strike frequency at 5 is fine, I'm just trying to explore options for you. The solid hit slider at 6 though I feel is perfect for the cpu. It really makes you pay attention where you throw your pitch. But the rest of the sliders are great Mike, I hope your not getting annoyed with me changing things on you.

I don't believe the AI hitting aggression you're seeing or not seeing has to do with pitcher consistency. The game decides to swing after the pitch is thrown (or at least commanded), not before.

I read that somewhere on this forum, just was wondering if you agreed with it or not

Great sliders. As for your stream, it'd be a lot more interesting to watch the vods if you had a mic.

Also, when you're using directional, how often do you hold left/right (always if you realize the ball is going inside/outside or do you factor in that some batters are just bad oppo hitters?), also how often do you hold up/down (and what situations cause you to use the up/down, e.g. sac flies, moving a runner over to 3rd, etc).

Thanks

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If there isn't a crowd, I feel a bit odd/crazy talking to myself ha. Sometimes I'm also listening in on work meetings.

I am always holding something when it comes to directional. It depends on the hitter and situation, and can change during an AB.

Good stuff. With play now games, are you using more than just the team's top two SPs?

I definitely like the solid hits at 6 for AI as well. Updating first post now.

Regardless of whether you use 30 team control, I'd recommend setting the trade slider to:

1 for April
3 for May
4 for June
5 for July 1-29
10 for July 20-31
5 for non-waiver trades set (past July 31)
4 for offseason

What is July supposed to be? 1-29 on 5 and 30-31 on 10? Or 1-20 on 5 and 21-31 on 10?

Thanks.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB Show '16 Sliders

love the set so far good job!...question.. is the human pitching and cup starter the stamina at 7 consistent at that level or do you advise to lower stamina during simulation like last year? thanks!

Mike Lowe your setup is the best i have tired so far. Before i didnt mess with sliders and was killing teams on hall of fame but your slider setup brought all the realism back into it. Thanks man

I leave it at 7. There's no way to prevent the simulated CG and SO stats over the course of a year without sacrificing major stats in other areas, so until this game's biggest flaw is addressed (bullpen handling by AI), it's the best we can do.

I've noticed there's been a lot of noise on the topic of bullpen AI in the main forum, so hopefully it finally receives the attention it deserves soon...

Re: Mike Lowe MLB Show '16 Sliders

Mike...

Spent a LOT of time over the weekend testing another slider maker's "All Star" slider set...

15-20 games in, it was apparent that pitching (or AI's batting) was a bit too easy for me so I played 2 test games using your set... And, got bombed! Bad!

Nice to know that my skill set is somewhere between AS & HOF and encourage other users to give your set a shot if AS becomes a bit too easy

OR, find their sweet spot between the two settings... I couldn't find the strike zone. Walk, walk, walk!

Keep at it! I've always been told that when you set the bar higher for someone, odds are, they'll reach for it.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB Show '16 Sliders

You'll have more fun figuring out how to succeed at a higher difficulty than you will playing dumb at a lower one. No offense to A&S, he makes great sliders, but there just too damn easy for at least half of the OS community. Im undecided to use classic or meter pitching this year and even on classic default HOF im dominating with the Brewers rotation. Played 1 game with your changes Mike and I got hammered for making multiple mistakes over the plate. It may not be super realistic, but its necessary to keep people from constantly hammering the strike zone.
