Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 17 Timed/Classic Simulation All-Star Slider

Most the errors don't look genuine and seem to come at convenient omg moments in the game @ all 6's. I'll keep going for some more games to see if it levels out. However to be honest, i'd almost rather leave them at default and not see many then to have odd looking errors that make no sense so to say. Just my opinion. Slider set is great, and this has nothing to do with them, just sharing a thought really.

Hated it.

Absolutely not for me. Two games and I knew Directional hitting is not meant to be played on higher levels.

I did it not because I am raking on All-Star. I did it to see the difference in CPU pitchers and sequence.


Almost the same. In fact I could hardly tell a difference. I drew walks just fine and pitch speed is identical.

But what is different is solid contact and shrunk down PCI and I don't control the PCI on Directional.

So because I can't place the PCI where I want when sitting on pitches like I would with Zone, it made for a very frustrating experience.

Hy variety was awful. Contact was neutered tremendously, and I knew right away that ratings based dice roll batting (first and foremost) with user input timing is awesome on All-Star.

No reason for a directional hitter to play higher than all star.

If you think your hitting too good.....simply turn up pitch speed till you ate more challenged.

It is not complicated in that regard.

Good to know. Thanks. Are you moving up to 6/8 for pitch speeds? I used 6/8 last year and I'm still trying to figure out if that is what I should be using again this year. I use a regular PS4 and regular HD tv

I can't believe my luck, I literally must have the worst luck when it comes to injuries out of everyone in here as everyone else seems to have injuries here and there and I get them over and over again and to main players, never backups. Now that Valencia is slated to come back within a week and Cruz and Cano will be back within 2 now I lost Iwakuma for 2-3 months and Motter for 1-2 months. I've literally now had 2 injuries that weren't at least a month in duration meanwhile I've had Zunino, Cruz, Cano, Valencia, Iwakuma and Motter out for at least 2 months. I don't get how nobody else is having such extreme issues with injuries like I am, it's unbelievable at this point. The moment someone is close to returning then someone else gets hurt, like clock work.

My team is slumping (lost 4 in a row), my guys are dropping like flies and I don't have anywhere near the depth in the rotation to offset Iwakuma going down. Meanwhile the Angels are red hot (8-0 in June) and I'm sitting 3 games back of them. The season is still young obviously but this injury thing is gonna kill me in the long run.

I just can't get the second profile to stick, even when I set my team to manual and the others to the CPU profile everything still shows up manual for the CPU teams in the franchise

Visual glitch. If you set to cpu at startup they will do everything you have set to cpu profile.

You guys who are playing on Legend pitching must be really good. I'm still getting destroyed by the CPU on All-Star. Still loving these sliders though.

Armor I'm seeing a lot of long singles..Balls hit hard in the gap and balls hit hard off the wall being held to singles a lot more then is realistic..I'm talking guys with decent speed in big parks..Not talking a big slow guy hitting a laser off the green monster..

Yet in the general forum people are questioning injuries.

I am telling you I am playing a different game than a lot of people here.

Turn baserunner speed to default 5 if your feeling this. But be warned.....more infield singles will result.

It is not excessive IMO and again....I see a lot of loud singles in MLB every night.

Lasers are hit and the exit velocity is scorching off the bat....it is not so easy to round first and get a double.

Doubles typically come from rising line drive gappers, down the line normal speed. But laser shots are going to be loud singles for most baserunners.

That’s my opinion.

Sometimes these sliders are so realistic it's maddening
I've seem to have hit a stretch in my Phillies franchise where my team can't score a run to save my life and my starters are getting lit up. Unfortunately just like in real life.

You hate it so much that you love it. I cant get enough of these. That's how I feel about these sliders.

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 17 Timed/Classic Simulation All-Star Slider

So I have decided once again, I have to start over. I have to use 30 team control. If I set everything for my CPU profile to auto, will it be like playing a single team franchise? What about when I need to lets say (the reason why I actually have to do this) I have to take a RP pitcher from another team out of the starting rotation. Will it undo what I did because its set to auto?

Just set Lineups/Rotations to manual if you're worried about this.

Ohh I know, I almost went to find the thread where people questioned injuries since the patch to comment but didn't. It's insane, Iwakuma has been my most consistent pitcher and now he's shelved for 2-3 months which means either that dumpster fire Chris Heston, unfortunately, has to get called back up, I go with a young guy in the farm system or I try and work a trade for a marginal SP to act as a stop gap and hope it keeps me afloat in the playoff race as the season progresses. It's been a rough season injury wise, on last years game as the Dodgers I had very few injuries to the point I thought guys would just never get injured, well this year it's the exact opposite.

It is what it is, Motter being out really hurts as well. He had raised his overall to 80 and was hitting well for me while filling in for Cano and he also served as a super utility player as he could play nearly every position in the field. Now that role falls to Shawn O'Malley and let's just say he isn't anywhere near as good lol. My pitching was already rather weak with my offense having to carry me, now with Iwakuma out and Motter going down it's going to be extremely tough to maintain and make the playoffs.

Man I can attest to this! Was at SunTrust Saturday and Bryce hit an absolute missile to the RF fence, and even with his tenacity and aggressiveness on the basepaths, it was just a loud single.

Just set Lineups/Rotations to manual if you're worried about this.

If it is set to manual, wont I have to manage every teams roster? All I really want to accomplish is the cpu putting a RP in the starting rotation, things like that. I can go fix it. I don't want to decide who plays and who sits and so forth. I want 30 different managers/GM's, not 1. I just want to fix dumb errors. Other then that, I want the cpu teams to do what they do.


I'm going through Armors twitch and watching to see how it works and reading the OP to get an understanding.
