Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

Hello,


I saw a post a few pages back asking about directional hitting and I didn't see it answered so my apologies if this has been answered.


How are these using directional? I like zone, but I struggle with it. thanks

hey! yea I was the guy that posted about directional. Actually switched back to zone hitting. Felt like there was something off with directional hitting and these sliders combined and zone hitting just feels good. Don't even move the PCI though on zone if you're having trouble with it. I just center it and only move it (usually to the bottom of the zone) on 1-2 or 0-2 counts and I probably will need to foul a pitch or 2 off

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

I use Directional...

These we are about to release seem to play equally as well on Zone or Directional.

TNK will have them up later.

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

Sweet! I'll start another test franchise & report back after every 5th start...

TNK, usually reluctant to move the solid hits slider from 3...

PB, usually reluctant to move the solid hits slider from 5 (default)...

Thus, a nice solid hit "4" compromise

If it's too easy on all star will these work on hall of fame difficulty?

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

So it's some tweeks to your set. Higher solid hits. Higher fielding errors. Lower reliever stam. Higher foul freq. Lower pitcher confidence & consistancy. Sounds a bit more challenging. We will see.

Played one game. Won 5-1. Me Oak vs. White Sox. Smacked Sale around. 11 hits to 3 total. Only gave a solo shot up to Abreau. Never felt threatened but i think with the adjustments, this will be a much more challenging set. Can't wait to get some more games in.

On a side note, i noticed some really cool different animations. There right fielder made a diving attempt to miss the ball, layed injured and the center fielder had to come over to pick the ball up. On another play, I hit a dribbler up the first base line. I figured it was a sure out but the first baseman looked like he made contact with my runner and he stumbled and missed the ball. The coolest was a couple dropped foul balls that were over by the dugouts. Maybe these were just a coincidence but they were fun to see.

Overall i think the CPU will pose a bigger threat.

Yeah - we had a lot of similarities in what we were working with and were close enough on many other to go with middle ground

Let's get some test games in and we'll adjust off this set going forward....shouldn't take us long to have these honed in

They're also in the vault.....please update, especially if you want to give feedback that we will take into consideration

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

A's test franchise, 2-1, very realistic numbers & more importantly... A very realistic "feel".

More to come...

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

TNK - EXHIBITION GAME (TESTING)

GAME PLAYED USING UPDATED SLIDERS IN POST #1 OF THE THREAD

Boston Red Sox @ Cleveland Indians
Pitching Matchup - Eduardo Rodriguez vs Danny Salazar

The Indians opened the scoring in the bottom of the 1st inning when lead off hitter Rajai Davis worked a full count before lofting a 354 foot HR down the LF line to give Cleveland a 1-0 lead. Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez settled in nicely after allowing the lead off homer and Cleveland starter Danny Salazar was able to keep the Red Sox off the board as the score remained 1-0 through 4 innings. The Red Sox loaded the bases with 1 out in the top of the 5th for Dustin Pedroia who struck out chasing a slider in the dirt for the 2nd out but the ball would bounce away from Gomes behind the plate allowing Rusney Castillo to score from 3rd base and tie the game at 1-1. Salazar would strike out Xander Bogaerts to get out of the jam and strand a pair of runners in scoring position to end the inning as his pitch count was up over 90 pitches through 5 innings as the Red Sox were making him work. Hanley Ramirez crushed a solo HR to CF to give the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in the top of the 6th. Things fell apart for Rodriguez in the bottom of the 6th when Francisco Lindor reached base on a throwing error by Travis Shaw and came around to score on a two out RBI single up the middle by Santana to tie the game up at 2-2. Yan Gomes was up next and hammered a fastball from Rodriguez 442 feet for a two run blast to CF to put the Indians on top by a score of 4-2. Rodriguez would exit after issuing a walk to Chisenhall and Junichi Tazawa would come in from the pen and he was taken deep by the 1st batter he faced as Juan Uribe drove a fastball into the stands in LF to increase the lead to 6-2. Boston threatened in the top of the 7th as they had runners on 2nd & 3rd base with two outs for Bogaerts who lined a deep fly ball towards the gap in left center that looked like it would get down for extra bases but Rajai Davis made an outstanding running catch to end the inning and save a pair of runs to keep the score 6-2. The score would remain 6-2 heading into the 9th inning as Cleveland would turn the ball over to Bryan Shaw with a four run lead and Shaw would pitch a 1-2-3 inning to close this one out as the Indians come away with a 6-2 victory

* Very happy with the first game using the updated sliders

* The CPU offense made me pay for mistakes and change the way I had started getting used to being able to pitch. I think I will need to be a little more careful and strategic with the way I pitch - THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!!

* I was able to draw walks and I definitely need to be a little more selective with the pitches I swing at - THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!!

* The look, feel and flow of fielding, throwing and base runner speed felt pretty good - which is a very big part of this

* Need to play a bunch of games and see how things play out over a larger sample size - but this is a great step towards getting the sliders where we want them to be and producing the type of games we want. Remember - it's all about variety without sacrificing realism!!

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

This game was done with the latest update on the sliders. Rangers (CPU) pitchers were smashed, and Red Sox hitters dominated. Probably my fault for not playing against the ace pitcher, so I think i'll be chucking in both aces for the next test.

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

Just finished a game with the latest sliders from the vault.

Baltimore Orioles (me) @ Kansas City Royals


I again used the strategy of using a middling SP against a very good-to-prolific offense to see if I could spur some offensive production from the CPU.

At least they won this one, though again, not terribly convincing.

One of those runs I scored was on a terrible AI bug from that wild pitch. The catcher recovered the ball, but just went charging out into the infield with it, despite my runner clearly breaking for home from third. *sigh*
Anyway, overall, maybe slightly better performance here from the AI than before, and I'm not seeing nearly as many overpowering pitching performances with a dozen Ks from mediocre pitchers, but it still feels a little easy from a pitching standpoint.

The next game I do is going to be ace against ace. We'll see what happens.

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

I am getting more wild pitches as well. I also see more infield hits as I can't lollygag to make the throw to first anymore (for fast runners).

I'm experiencing the increase in infield hits as well. Even when I preload the throws early enough, they look very lackadaisical. I will have to boost arm strength to see if this rectifies the problem...outfield as well...I'm not a fan of one-hoppers to the cutoff man.
