Updated a few user hitting sliders for zone hitting.

I am pretty pumped that not only did these sliders have my Tigers miss the playoffs by one game last year playing all 162, but also that my new Twins franchise this year, I'm 1-3 and got creamed yesterday by the Royals.

Streaming a game now if anyone's around to chat sliders, NFL, etc. Thinking of doing a show sort of thing each Sunday night?

Come chat!

If you're using zone, up your solid contact for user to 6. First post updated to reflect.

One more tweak--depending on your preference, you can sim games w SP stamina at 1 or how O had it, at 0. I'll be switching between the two periodically.

Made one adjustment to zone and updated first post.

+1 for user foul ball when using zone.

Twins finally get their 2nd win to improve to 2-6, ending a 3 game losing streak.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB Show '16 Sliders

I have tried your sliders and they seem to play the best among the HOF Sliders on the forum. I have also watched your games on You Tube......good stuff, man. But, on HOF, the issue I see that plagues me seemingly is the fly in the ointment in your games as well.......The AI will go on hitting streaks that are borderline ridiculous (especially against relievers). This issue is the main reason I have been playing All Star. I have made the CPU Hitting AI tough by doing a couple things.....I raise their Contact to 7, reduce timing to 4 and raise their power to 6. I also play classic pitching, no ball marker, no hot zones and no vibration. It makes me pitch around parts of their lineup. I think the most underrated and misunderstood Slider is CPU Strike Frequency. I see you have yours at 5 and I think that is the perfect spot. In fact, even on All Star, this slider directly affects the CPU Intelligence. With it at five, you still don't see a ridiculous first pitch strike percentage with it at five...BUT you do see the CPU Pitcher actually pitch around batters.....with it lower than five it seems like the CPU's strategy is to NOT walk anyone. Same thing for CPU Control at five.....perfect setting when used in conjunction with a lower CPU Consistency. The CPU will miss their spots, but with control at default it still allows the CPU Strategy to play out.......thus pitching around human hitters.

Great stuff, man. I am going to also go with cursor off entirely.

Luckily, I've had AI pitch control and strike frequency set at 5 for about two calendar years now

I didn't stream yesterday's game, but am streaming now...

Re: Mike Lowe MLB Show '16 Sliders

why are all the real player pictures (i.e. real player photos) gone in your chise? do you use a custom roster?

Taken from the very first post in this thread:

*If you want the artist rendition bio pictures, start your franchise with a fantasy draft, then back out of it before the first selection is made. Rosters will still be intact.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB Show '16 Sliders

The game I just streamed, a 3-1 loss at home against the Angels, is a perfect example of these sliders working as intended.

I'm absolutely thrilled with these. Streams to almost all games is on my YouTube channel (link in signature).
