    Cycloniac's TrueSim Manager Mode MLB 16 Sliders

    Cycloniac's TrueSim Manager Mode MLB 16 Sliders

    In the past, I have been an advocate of CPUvCPU and Coach Mode in other series, so recently, I decided to give Manager Mode a shot in my Yankees Franchise. I've fallen absolutely in love with the mode, and don't see myself playing MLB The Show any other way. I've tested and tweaked these using the Hybrid rosters, which I would definitely reccomend. I use Quick Counts, but these sliders should work well whether you use Quick Counts or not.

    Settings

    Gameplay Options
    Decision Timer: 4 seconds
    Batting View: Broadcast
    Fielding View: Broadcast


    Presentation Options
    Presentation Mode: Broadcast

    Batter Walkup: Off - This is user preference, but since I use Quick Counts, I find this just helps the game flow better, and makes presentational element transitions make more sense. For example, after an out is made, you'll see a replay, and hear the PA announcer introducing the next hitter, so during that time, the hitter is stepping to the plate. With this on, it'll look like the hitter is JUST making his way to the batter’s box after the replay/presentation element is over.

    In-game Ticker: On
    - Closed Captioning: Off
    - Mode Updates: On/Occasional
    - MLB.com Updates - On

    Audio
    I use the great options available over at the SOTS forums, and find the settings below to give that great broadcast feel.

        I just started using your sliders. So far pretty decent. I am using the hybrid V2 roster. I'm seeing decent scoring. My first game was 4 - 11.

        Really wish sports games played to ratings!
        Only thing SIM about sports games now, are the team name and players
        CFB 25 The absolute GOAT!!!
        MLB 23 FOREVER 20 is better, 23 just for Guardians
        Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

            Hey I love this mode, and really hope these sliders are good. One of the first tests I always do to see how well they work is to stack a team and run a few games. I just think you get a better feel for how accurate they are. A stacked team should be able to regularly beat any other team with some ease. If you could run a few games this way and post the results, that would be awesome.

            I wanna buy this game, and really want a cpu vs cpu mode that is kinda accurate.

            Thanks.

              Do you have a matchup I should try in particular?

                All Star team vs Atlanta maybe...

                Don't get me wrong, I know that any team can beat any team on a given day. But in that kinda match up, the All Star team should easily win a best of 5.

                    Not to bad. Based on this, I decided to buy the game. Thanks.

                    Will be really interested to see how your season goes.

                      Ok I started a league. One question I have is, your gameplay options. Do you have hitting difficulty, and pitching difficulty set at something. I'm trying cpu vs cpu with your settings, as I don't always have time to sit and do coach mode.

                        I have both hitting and pitching difficulty on All-Star

                          Coach/manage mode is all-star per devs.

                            So, this is how my Yankees franchise is currently looking. We're 2nd in the AL East behind Boston, and have one of the two AL Wild Card spots. The trade deadline just passed, and I made a move for Randall Grichuk from St. Louis to add some more consistent offense to our lineup. Injuries have hurt us, specifically Luis Severino being shelved for the season after having a good year. Michael Pineda is also hurt, so we traded for Jeff Locke at the deadline to fill in. We moved Ivan Nova to the rotation, and he's been contributing pretty well. However, we've been having some struggles lately, losing five straight.

                            We lost again to the Mets, Harvey held us in check.

                              Would this work if I just pitch for my team and let the cpu hit?
