Are you guys getting many doubles? In particular, shots into the gap? When I use directional most of my hits are either home runs or singles. When I use zone I tend to find the gaps a lot more.

Yes. I have been able to hit shots in the gap.

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

Hi Armor and guys. A couple of more quick questions with this set. I have API ON which is where my catcher calls for a certain locations and certain pitches he wants thrown. I'm trying more and more to throw where my catcher wants it. I normally pitch my own game and what I feel 90 % of the time. I'm pretty decent at pitching this way.... Should I start to listen to my catcher more ? When my catcher calls for certain pitches/locations.... does my catcher know the batters strengths and weaknesses ? What percent are you guys pitching on your own or threw the catcher ? Thanks in advance for any help out there !!

I have API on default and for AS level or higher all you get first is what pitch the catcher calls for. If you want location pull back the R2 button for the pitch and location. I decide 95% of the time where I will throw the pitch. I also listen to my catcher 90% of the time on which pitch to throw (as opposed to asking for the location as well).

I like setting my hitters up. I look at it as I am not only pitching but also playing pseudo catcher in regards to location of the pitch. It's just my preference and I enjoy playing that way. I will shake off his pitch suggestions though at least 10-15% of the time.

I suggest you play whatever way you get the most enjoyment out of the game.

Is anybody seeing any differences with the patch after having some time with it? I played the first two games of a Yankee season and Altuve twice hit soft ground balls right at Gregorius at short that he beat both out for infield singles. I get Altuve is very fast out of the box but these are plays that need to be made, they were hit directly at him and they weren't choppers. Has anybody else seen this with the elite speedsters?

No issues at all post patch. In fact game play is even smoother and better. Especially in regards to routes to the balls in the OF.

Armor, I recently switched over from XBOX ONE to a PS4 and have used your sliders for Madden extensively through the years. I am using your sliders for my Reds franchise and I have begun a RTTS as a pitcher. Will your sliders work as well for RTTS or is there a different setup for that feature? I appreciate you and anyone else who may have insight to my question.

They work great on RTTS

Ok great thanks again !!! Armor,what differences will I see for a tiny bit more HUM offense.... If I put HUM Timing to 6 vs HUM Contact to 6 ?? U suggested upping Contact to 6. Timing to 6 will be too much HUM offense you think? I'm trying to find my "sweet spot" ... Thanks again !

Yes. I have been able to hit shots in the gap.

Do you move/hold the analog stick up and to the left/right?

I keep my approach simple. See the ball, hit the ball.

Yeah I only use directional is as a situational tool. For example when I must get the ball in the air (push up) or make sure I hit it into the ground. Other than that I use old fashions timed (no pushing the stick anywhere). I get plenty of hit variety. More than ever on this version of the game.

Just move up contact to 6 and nothing else....I assure you that your offense will spike up without it getting unrealistically out of hand.

Armor, are you using 30 team control in franchise? I'm still debating what to do. Do things appear good enough to roll with one team control?

With single team, trades are still going to happen that, if you're bothered by that kind of thing, you're not gonna like. That's not going to change because no matter what some of the AI's decisions about the players are (keeping in mind that it doesn't see names, only the team needs and a bunch of ratings representing a player's ability), people are going to disagree.

If that doesn't bother you (it doesn't for me, personally), single team becomes a much more viable option.

JMO.

Nah, most of the trades don't bother me. I just try to think of it as it's own world. I'd rather just have fun and play than worry about all that. Sounds like single team is the way to go, if there aren't any other issues.

I am rolling with a single team franchise in my fantasy draft franchise. I am loving it.

The reason I rolled with 30 team in proper franchises is for trade integrity (and it is not that bad most of the time IMO) but also it allows me to jump to other teams If I want to. Other than that single team is fine.
