P.A.D/ Padgoi MLB The Show 2017 Legend Sliders

Re: P.A.D/ Padgoi MLB The Show 2017 Legend Sliders

I'm struggling with hitting still. Haven't bumped power as still hitting plenty of doubles and averaging just over one hr a game. Have contact and solid hits at 6 and timing 4. Haven't made the changes to cpu pitching yet as play on quick counts which means I end up drawing a lot of walks as soon as I drop the control down below 4. Experimenting with consistency at 3.

Managed to give up 21 runs in one game, then dropped contact power and solid hits to 4 and shut them out next game!! Given up 5 through 7 in my next game but not striking out much so have kept cpu timing at 0.

Still enjoying it, but it's a real challenge !

I don't play with quick counts but I imagine these will result in higher walk numbers using quick counts. Also I know patch 1.11 just dropped but haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Sliders can and probably will change again. Getting really sick of these damn patches.

I'm with you. Trying contact 7 power 5 timing 5 Solid 7 for my next few games to see if over powered. Am slumping badly and giving up too many runs to be this offensively challenged!

I was having same problems but I switched to power 7 solid hits 6...amazing not over board but seems like the greats hit bombs and everyone else still has the chance I love it try it if you run in to problems

Hey man, I played a game with your sliders (I really like them) as before, I had been playing on all-star hitting/HOF pitching with a different slider set and it was a bit too easy. Wondering if these could be played on directional hitting and classic pitching? That's what I was comfortable with. Also I was a little late on fastballs due to me never playing with pitch speed above 5.

I lost 2-1 as the Mariners agasint the Indians. Kluber had 8 k's in 7 innings, gave up 3 hits (one was a bunt by Dyson, and another was a swinging bunt by Haniger lol) and 4 walks, resulting in one run (earned). Andrew Miller struck out the side in the 8th and Cody Allen struck out 2 in the 9th for the save.

I had Paxton on the mound and he gave up 1 run on 6 hits, 1 walk in 7 innings, and then Zych came in, struck out 2 but gave up the winning run in the 8th and Vincent pitched a scoreless top of the 9th with one strikeout.

Brantley had 2 hits and drove in both runs, Ramirez and Lindor each had doubles.

Zunnino got our only RBI with a fielder's choice in the 7th, Haniger scored the run after reaching on a swinging bunt, and then a Dyson bunt and Cano double were our only hits on the day.

Really liking these sliders, although I'll have to get used to them. Gonna play more games later tonight (some out of my franchise, some in, I play every game and am currently at the trade deadline of year 2)

Hey fellas, I made a few very small adjustments to these and am considering them final unless another patch is released. I'm very happy with the way they're playing right now and I honestly can't think of anything I'd change. Please give them a shot, I think you guys will really enjoy them.

In the below images, I'm the Yankees and my friend is the Mariners in the other.

I hadn't bumped the power because I was still happy with the extra base hit numbers. Been wobbling between contact 6 and solids 6 and contact 5 solid 6 both with power at 5.

Must admit, also dropped down to HoF as was really struggling on legend!

Re: P.A.D/ Padgoi MLB The Show 2017 Legend Sliders

The problem with Legend is that the cpu gets a big bump in their attributes, leading to a lot of blown leads and saves. Part of the reason why I was such a proponent of the belief that comeback AI existed is because of the bump the cpu gets on higher levels. I like playing on legend because of the urgency the cpu shows in trying to win games, however the trade off is that the cpu sometimes gets really cheesy in their tactics. With that said, I'm currently 5-1 in my Yankees franchise so I can't really complain.

Here's the results from the game I just finished:

Agree totally. The number of times I score then they score is ridiculous. So I thought hit on HoF, pitch on legend...even it out!

Re: P.A.D/ Padgoi MLB The Show 2017 Legend Sliders

That's why I made my sliders the way I did. The user offensive sliders configured the way they are should even out the playing field on legend. Hitting on hall of fame with these sliders might give the user a boost too large for the cpu to overcome. Right now through 6 games my stats are totally on point. Once you get the timing of the pitch speed down and learn to lay off the bad pitches, you should be OK.

Cool. I must admit I just felt I wasn't getting value for hits. I might give the 575 contact/power/solids a go!

Version 40 has been uploaded to the vault and updated in the OP. This version does a few things:

- Version 39 totally nerfed CPU power. My team ERA through 15 games was 3.08, which is absurdly low. This version addresses that.

- This version also addresses user pitch control. It was easy to not walk batters in the previous version. Now it should be harder to pinpoint locations.

- I also improved CPU pitch control. They were walking too many guys and leaving too many pitches down the middle of the plate. They should be able to work the corners a bit better now.

I'm tinkering with lowering human power and raising CPU contact, but I'm afraid even one slider notch for either of those will have devastating effects. Gonna play a few more games to see how version 40 plays out.

Please try version 40 and let me know how they play. Thanks!

It's a shame more people aren't trying these sliders. They really play a good game.

Hey, been working with your human pitching sliders for last few games. I'm finding I'm giving up a lot of hits but not necessarily a lot of runs...5 on 15 in my last game. Have you found this too? Also my ability to strike out the cpu is way down even with people like kershaw. Wondered about dropping cpu contact to 3, have you tried or have you just been at 4 this whole time?
