Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 16 Timed/Classic Simulation Sliders

hey @armour&sword I have a question for you? I am doing a fantasy draft with my cubs franchise till I start my real franchise when the hybrid drops, but my question has to do with my starters and what I would need to do to get relievers in the game and more realistic k's, well here is my staff and their stats from their first start

1) kluber 8 ip obb 12 k's
2) terhan 8 ip 1 bb 15 k's
3) lincecum 8 ip 0bb 17 k's

what can I do to make it more realistic

3 starts......come on. You have to play 25-30 games, go through the rotation 4 times then let me know how they are all pitching after 4 starts each.

Baseball needs large sample sizes to evaluate statistical trends.....I say the same thing every single year.

I have no suggestions when I see you have played 3 games and dominated. If your doing the same exact thing after 12 starts between those 3 pitchers....I would be blown away and say move up to HOF.

Your skill level is beyond All-Star then. So check back with me after those 12 starts (4 each for those 3) and show me the stats.

dos it make a difference that I am playing on dynamic difficulty and not all-star

LOL! Yes my man.

Turn that off. Go straight to All-Star. The point of these sliders is you know your an All-Star level guy and you want sliders for that level.

That explains everything.

will these work with vetern hitting and all-star pitching?

This is and has been my biggest peeve w hitting for years now. I thought this is what precision input would help with. I'm hitting on HOF difficulty. This shouldn't happen. My pci is big and I missed where the ball was and still fouled it off? The only way I seem to strike out a lot is if I bump pitch speed up and then I have no chance to ever turn on a pitch. I might have to institute some house rules and lower vision of all my players to help combat stuff like this. I'm not sure your sliders help w that.

Then try a different slider set that is harder? That has nothing to do with sliders.

I am testing Stealing Aggressiveness one click up at 6 and so far I like it a lot.

But I want a lot more games before stamping it as a change.

Love your sliders. Used them last year. Only difference is I use meter pitching. Just not good at classic. But I may try auto fielding to see how it works. Gonna feel weird though. Used to controlling fielders.

I am hoping something w hum contact timing and pitch speed might have an affect on it.

For anyone wondering about the "0" in some stat clolums on your carry over saves, Victor a developer from SCEA San Diego just posted this in the "Carry over Saves Issue" thread.

Like I kinda figured..it went deeper than a patch and makes perfect sense....people...start your carry over franchises with confidence.


From Victor

"Unfortunately, the "zero stats issue" is not something we can fix. As some of you might know, we tracked a very small number of career stats before The Show 16, and those are the ones that are displayed perfectly fine in your save files. The columns with zeroes, like Games Played and Walks, are new career stats that we added in 16, so we can't just make them appear out of thin air for carryover saves. You might notice some stats such as On Base Percentage being displayed, but incorrectly. That's because these are calculated stats, and we have some of the data necessary to calculate it, but not all (which is why OBP looks just like BA, because we don't have BB, HBP and SF to calculate it fully). The good news is that all of the newly added stats will track perfectly fine as soon as you start playing/simulating games.

We apologize for this, but it's just an unfortunate limitation of our old system"

I'm not sure this is correct i just started a new franchise in 16 not even a y2y save and players have zero totals it kind of breaks realism when a guy who has been in the league for 10 years gets the first career strikeout cutscene that being said this is the first time i have used these sliders and played the show this way and I'm loving it

Just so everyone knows:

Pitch speed is a personal taste slider. So if you like it on default, then move the off-speed slider up to 7.

We feel whatever setting you have pitch speed on...move the off-speed slider up 2 to sync the difference in pitches.

Armor, you confused me here just a little.

If my default setting for a straight pitches is set to 6, wouldn't I want to match up the offspeed pitch setting to the same, to make sure I am seeing the disparity between the offspeed stuff, and the straight pitches?

Using an extreme example, if my straight pitch setting was "0" and I made the offspeed pitches a 7, then although a pitcher's offspeed pitch my have a differential of 11mph, my perceived difference in speed would be lessened, by increasing the speed representation slider.

The changeup is still 83 mph, but it looks faster, with how the speed is portrayed on the screen with the Offspeed slider increased.

Therefore, you would effectively nerf the CPU pitcher's changeup and curveball, by making it closer to the swing timing needed for the fastball.

If this is the intention, then so be it. I am just confused as to why you would want the lessen the effectiveness of the offspeed stuff, by manupiulating the perceived speed difference of the user.

If anything, I would think going the other way, to really make you have to use some guile and wait for the pitch you think is coming. In real life, a 10-12mph difference between a fastball and your wrinkly stuff is pretty much the gold standard for excellence, and getting to the 15-18mph range will get you pretty high marks in any league.

Why dull-down that differential by giving the user an advantage to "see" the offspeed stuff closer to fastball reaction time?

I am still working with the off-speed slider in testing so stay tuned.

But I can tell you I am playing with fastball on 3 and off speed on 5 and those change-ups are not nerfed one iota. They are nasty.

Can I drop down to veteran with your sliders? I'm getting killed

Hey Armor, what do you feel about lowering reliever stamina a bit? I just finished a game against the Yankees and Betances pitched the 7th, 8th, and 9th and threw 44 pitches in the process. Bearing in mind that I didn't get a single hit off of him, I was still surprised to see him pitch for the 9th. With the clean screen setup, I couldn't check how his energy was at that point of the game. This was also the first game of my Astros test franchise.
