TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

I've been tinkering with

Fielder Reaction at 5
Fielder Speed at 3

INF & OUTFIELD throw speed at 2
Baserunner Speed at 2

.....and I'm liking what I'm getting/seeing

Need to discuss these via PM...suffice to say the lower base runner speed has totally nerfed the running game as lower arm strengths don't affect catchers on stolen base attempt throws.

Be in touch tomorrow.

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

Guys....noticed an issue that may have been causing the likes of El Mayimbe excessive power issues.

TNK has mistakenly put HUM and CPU power at 6 in the set and the upload to the vault.

We agreed both should be default...5.

That could be why we are seeing different things Mayimbe as i inputted the set manually so have it at 5 and don't see too much excessive power.

If you downloaded the set from the vault you will have it at 6 which as i say is an error.

Make the change and try again then report back!

So human and CPU pow r should both be 5.

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

Im really interested in trying these but have a question. As someone who uses Hall of Fame pulse pitching does anyone have any suggestions? I found all-star pitching was a bit too easy for me (alot of 1 or 2 run games) so I moved up to hall of fame so I am worried that if I go back down to all-star I might see a similar thing. Should I just try the sliders on hall of fame? Also I have heard pulse pitching is less accurate than meter. Does anyone else use pulse? What do you do with the human control and consistency rating? Thanks for any input!

I must have misunderstood something in our messages back and forth, but I thought we were going with CPU and Contact at 6 to boost offense

Now......I've seen more offense as a result of this but nothing that has been problematic by any stretch

For now - whichever works best for you (5 or 6)

I'm digging 6 for each, I wasn't seeing enough offense with 5.

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

I'm in the 8th inning of a game right now (Houston @ Boston)

I've racked up 10 hits with Boston but stranded an army on the basepaths and trail 1-0 in the 8th.

Contact and Power are both at 6 - my games have not produced any unrealistic scores

Those of you who think there may be too much offense as a result - I question what hitting mechanic you are using?

Are you guys using POWER SWING? I never use any swing other than the standard regular swing button....this could be a factor

TNK - EXHIBITION GAME (TESTING)


Houston Astros @ Boston Red Sox
Pitching Matchup - Collin McHugh vs Clay Buchholz

Houston scored a run to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st on a RBI single by Colby Rasmus. The Red Sox threatened in each of the first 3 innings but Collin McHugh was able to work out of trouble in each inning including the bottom of the 3rd when Boston had runners at the corners with 1 out as they had Mookie Betts running at 1st base with the full count pitch to Pedroia who smoked a line drive right at Correa at SS who snared it and threw to first base to double off Betts and end the inning as the Astros had a 1-0 lead after 3 innings of play. McHugh issued back to back walks to Holt and Swihart to begin the bottom of the 5th but escaped another threat when Dustin Pedroia lined a two out single to LF but a great throw home from Rasmus nailed Holt at the plate to end the inning and keep it a 1-0 game. Boston would leave the bases loaded in the bottom of the 6th inning as McHugh continued to defy the odds as the Red Sox had amassed 10 hits without scoring a run so far in the ball game. The Astros loaded the bases off Carson Smith in the top of the 8th for Colby Rasmus but he would fly out to Betts in RF as Smith gets out of the inning and the score remains 1-0. Colin McHugh remained in the game for the bottom of the 8th as he was approaching 120 pitches and he would get the first two outs before Hanley Ramirez doubled off the green monster to give Boston a runner in scoring position with two outs. Houston manager AJ Hinch would come out to get McHugh ending his day as Luke Gregerson would come in to face Travis Shaw and walked him on 5 pitches. Brock Holt was up next with two men on and two outs and he lined a single to LF that was hit too hard to score Ramirez from 2nd base as he had to hold at 3rd and the bases were loaded. Blake Swihart came up for a huge at bat with the bases loaded and two outs with the Red Sox trailing 1-0. Swihart squared the ball up and hit a rocket towards right center but Carlos Gomez made a nice catch on the run to end the inning as the Sox strand 3 more runners and Gregerson gets out of the jam as the game would go to the 9th inning with Houston leading 1-0. Koji Uehara retired the side in order in the top of the 9th to send the game to the bottom of the 9th with the Red Sox needing a run. Astros closer Ken Giles came on to pitch the bottom of the 9th for Houston looking to close it out and record the final 3 outs. Pablo Sandoval cmae up as a pinch hitter for Jackie Bradley to lead off the inning and struck out for the 1st out. Mookie Betts grounded out after a grueling 9 pitch at bat and the Red Sox were down to their final out. Dustin Pedroia would line a single to CF to keep the Red Sox hopes alive and put the tying run on base for Xander Bogaerts with two outs and David Ortiz lurking in the on deck circle. Giles would get the final out as he got Bogaerts to hit a chopper to 3rd base and the throw just beat Bogaerts for the final out as the Astros win the game 1-0

* This was a strange game as the Red Sox blew a number of chances to score and stranded a bunch of men in scoring position, lined into a double plays= on a hit & run, had a man thrown out at the plate.....they just could not score

* The Red Sox pounded out 13 hits without producing a run as they left 14 men on base in the game.....one of the craziest games I have ever played

* Going to play another game right now and see what results I get.....I'm happy that the baserunners and hits were there - just didn't produce runs in this one, which could be good....I'm OK with no runs if the chances are there.....there's a big difference between this and having offense be anemic

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

Well this was a low scorer, using the latest sliders with CPU and human contact and power at 6. Tbh kind've thought the offense wasn't too bad for both teams, but the Royals (CPU) didn't get one extra base hit and hit 8 singles. Overall felt pretty good, don't really see the need to change the contact and power sliders to 5. As both teams could've easily scored more runs, and this was with the Royals best and the Sox second best pitcher.

Pretty satisfied with how these are going so far, keep up the good work

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

I'm in the 8th inning of a game right now (Houston @ Boston)

I've racked up 10 hits with Boston but stranded an army on the basepaths and trail 1-0 in the 8th.

Contact and Power are both at 6 - my games have not produced any unrealistic scores

Those of you who think there may be too much offense as a result - I question what hitting mechanic you are using?


Are you guys using POWER SWING? I never use any swing other than the standard regular swing button....this could be a factor

TNK...

Using All Star, Zone, Meter... Same as you. AM using quick counts however.

In past years, season after season I start off with your sliders & ditch them too early because I can't keep up with you offensively... I'm simply not the hitter you are. After loosing 3/4 of the past few baseball seasons experimenting with other slider sets & making tweaks, I end up coming back (a bit too late & never complete a season) & using your set in the end. I come back because I prefer feeling the deck is stacked against me a bit & everything I do feeling earned. Even before power was upped to 6 & solid hits to 4 a few days ago, I was thinking about the LONG season I had ahead of me...

NOW only a few days later, with power @ 6 & solid hits @ 4 I feel like I'm cheating. I too am getting great results "box score" wise. Hits, HR's extra base hits, k's etc look good, but the way these stats are being generated seems a bit off? 3rd deck HR's by Billy Burns, "Moon Shots" (per Matt V) by Ben Revere, doubles which used to split the OF's & slowly roll to the fence, now come in the form of balls that hit the wall in flight or soar over the OF's heads like I'm using an aluminum bat...

Call me a gluten for punishment as I may enjoy losing to much, but the recent boost to the hitting sliders has made me too good of a hitter (if there can be such a thing?) & I hope the sliders are toned down a bit. Yes, I can use my own sliders & make my own tweaks etc but I'm committed to rolling with whatever you & PB come up with this season. Once your set is finalized & Knight's rosters come out, my franchise starts... And I WILL get through an entire season THIS season!!!

More importantly, I hope our "feedback" helps weigh your final decisions & doesn't come across as "criticism"... we ALL appreciate your (and PB's) contributions here

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

SO much conflicting feedback here!

Too much offense, not enough offense... Slider makers can't win.

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

GWPUMP - try dropping Solid Hits to 3

I'm in the middle of a great game right now Bos @ Oak and will post results.....I have some tweaks that I need to review with PsychoBulk, but we will get where we need to be - we aren't far off, just subtle tweaks needed

I felt the same about solid hits at 4 - there's a little too much jump on the ball.....moving it down to 3 has been giving me bloops, choppers, etc and the ball needs to be hit just right to get a rocket

Re: TNK &amp; PsychoBulk 2016 Sliders

As PyschoBulk said isn't lowering the baserunner speed and the arm strength going to make base stealing really hard, because the arm strength doesn't effect the catcher in a stolen base attempt throw?

I have had stolen bases and the runners that have been thrown out have been close plays.......need to look into this more and play with the stolen base slider
