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

Thanks for the feedback. I simmed the last 4 innings and the Royals (cpu) won 9-3 with 14 hits and 3 homers. I'm going to drop power back to 5 and keep contact at 7, as the contact slider seems to be the key. I'm curious as to why you and Nomo have cpu timing at 1?

Mostly for Foul Balls and maybe to counteract the impact of higher contact on K rates. So why the low Foul Freq? I think because the timing window is already smaller. I wonder with low timing and high foul freq...would they ever put one in fair ground?

More fouls can help increase pitch counts and can create some tense ABs - trying to finish off a hitter in an 8 or 9 pitch battle in a high leverage situation with a tiring SP or RP...whew.

Plus, I think there's too few for the CPU on higher timing settings. It's hard finding data on just how many swings go for foul balls, but Nomo has 38% and I have no reason to doubt his number and I've had no luck finding data.

So I've found the pitcher I can't hit in this game. John Lackey has had no hitters going against me in 2 games within a couple of weeks. The first one in Pittsburgh he went 6 1/3 before giving up a hit and in the game I'm playing now (at Wrigley) I just got my first hit off of him with no one out in the 8th. I don't know what it is about his pitches but I just can't seem to get any solid hits against him.

Jared Cosart is that guy for me. Garbage ratings, his pitches don't come in hard, not a wide change of speeds, but the ball doesn't go anywhere and he nibbles much better than his ratings would indicate.

Came into the game with a 5.60 ERA and we finally chase him by driving up his pitch count. Got like 3 runs in 6 innings with 3 walks and 2 Ks (horrid BABIP), and those runs and most of the hits, came with him tiring, and then he got pulled.

Then they brought in some LHP I just could not see the ball against. 2 IP, 5 K. Ugh. Abad I think his name was. UGH.

Ugh, I remember that name (Abad). If I recall correctly, his changeup is like 20 mph slower than his fastball. Painful.

Yep - and his curve, too. Such a looping curve as well.

Guy for the Angels, last name Minor, he has a STEEP drop off between his fastball and change so I couldn't hit him at all. I waited back and was still early on his change, I had no hope.

Love these sliders they are a lot of fun to use. I made a few adjustments, I raised Relief Energy by 1. I lowered Solid Hits by 1 to see fewer hits (It is working). And I left pitch speed at 5

I have a few questions however.

1) What is better to reduce hits? Reduce contact or reduce solid hits? I notice a lot more ground balls (Obviously) but I also am hesitant to move contract as it may mess with my timing. What do you guys suggest?

2) With Reliever stamina does lowering it a tick make them more tired in later games as well. I have the problem of my relievers being at full energy the next game I use them (Or close to it)

3) If I up the difficulty to Hall of Fame for hitting (Or pitching) is there any changes that I should make?

For those who are dominating pitching, what sliders did You adjust to make the CPU more alive? i haven't noticed any difference post patch as someone mentioned.

CPU hitting sliders at 7,5,5,3,5 with human control and consistentcy at 3 is working well for me

I'll have to try these. I'm playing on Allstar and through 7 games in my Cubs chise my team Era is 1.50 and I'm really not even scared of the opposing teams offense. Alot of strike outs and maybe 3 walks.

I was having same issues with my Mets and Yankee franchises. Contact at 7 is WAY different than with it at 6. Just lost to the Phillies 7-4. Losing never felt so good!!

Is classic pitching user preference or no?
