P.A.D.'s 2016 Hall of Fame Sliders - for those who think AllStar remains too easy

[Padgoi]

I've been putting out this slider set every year for the past few years and I've gotten a decent reception every year. Basically every year I think Allstar difficulty is too easy. It's no different this year. How so? Put simply, I got the game early and in my very first game on Allstar default I was pitching a no-hitter into the fifth inning with Luis Severino and ended the game with a 2-hit masterpiece. I just feel like on Allstar difficulty, no matter how you tweak the sliders, you simply don't have to concentrate and focus on every pitch as you do in real life. In real life, mistake pitches are hit and hit hard. On Allstar, they are not. You can get away with MANY mistake pitches on Allstar because the CPU simply doesn't have the urgency required to compete.

So with all of this said, I bring you:

Sorry for the delay, fellas. Still testing. Hopefully have a set out tonight.

Updated as of 4/8/2016.
I'm liking the way the last few games have played with the revised sliders.

PAD I used your sliders for pitching last year. I noticed you upped cpu contact timing and solid hits. Were you finding pitching easier? I should mention I dropped my human pitch accuracy to 3 though and I'm doing a Twins franchise this year. In years past it was the Nats so obviously pitching was much stronger.

I've been terrified to try to hit on HOF but I seem to be crushing on All Star now. Need a bigger sample size though. I notice u have pitch speed at 5 for HOF hitting . I assume the pitches come in much quicker? I think I'll try your HOF hitting sliders and maybe play a AAA team to get my feet wet.
Overall great sliders though. Thanks

The game plays very differently this year. Hitting was much harder with sliders the way they were last year, there was no solid contact and no hits were going through. That's why I raised the timing and solid hits sliders.

I have pitch speed at 5 because pitches are hard to discern at higher pitch speeds on HoF. I think the sliders are ok the way they are right now.

I honestly don't know. I guess you can try them.

Lower pitch speed or raise timing. I raised timing from the last update for this very reason.

Re: P.A.D.'s 2016 Hall of Fame Sliders - for those who think AllStar remains too easy

Made a few small changes to human and cpu pitch control and pitcher consistency. Cpu wasn't generating enough offense. I think I'm close now.

what did you raise timing to???

[Padgoi]

Re: Do I just suck

I actually changed it back in today's update. The first post has all the current sliders. My latest changes increased user pitch control and pitcher consistency to 3 and raised cpu contact to 6. I'm feeling good about these now.

Do you strike many CPUs out looking?

On a base hit up the middle can you score from second?

[Padgoi]

Re: P.A.D.'s 2016 Hall of Fame Sliders - for those who think AllStar remains too easy

Barg, yes. I've struck out many CPU batters looking.
And yes, on a single up the middle, the runner from second will score on most instances.
