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

We very well may be moving reliever stamina up to 4 or even default 5.

Further testing is required. But it seems like they are tiring a little too quick post patch 1.07.

Need to play more games to pin point it and make sure.

How is testing errors at 7 going? It's a tricky thing as I see guys botch plays but they don't get scored an error which obviously skews the fielding percentage and makes it appear like there aren't enough errors. Then again my team has pretty low fielding rating overall and we are #2 in the AL in fielding percentage so it probably needs to go up to 7 anyways.

I'm gonna bump RP Stamina to 4 and see how things go myself as well. With it at 3 guys have trouble pitching on consecutive days and not being gassed right away.

I've actually upped mine a while ago. Some of my relievers were taking 2-3 days to fully recover after only one inning of work. And I was seeing long relievers with decent stamina get gassed after throwing only around 25-30 pitches.

I thought the whole reason of 3, was more so relievers didn't stay in and pitch 2 and 3 innings...... Which I guess doesn't really make sense seeing Tito uses Miller, Otero, and Shaw sometimes for 2 innings now a days.

Update, I have changed my RP Stamina to 4 to see how they play also.

"Options" is what was formerly known as the Start button pre-PS4. On the controller.

Got it. Thanks

You can still manual steal with runners on the corner or is this bugged? I just had Dyson and Segura on the corners, tried to manual steal from first holding the stick that direction and I know I did as only the runner at first took an extra lead yet when I triggered the manual steal both went and clearly I was tagged out at home. Am I doing something wrong or is manual stealing worthless when youve got runners on the corner?

I should have also mentioned the injury train continues to cruise down the tracks. James Paxton was cruising along through 3 innings at Minnesota (3.0 IP, 2 Hits, 3 K's) before having to leave with an undisclosed injury. Yovani Gallardo came in and proceeded to turn a 3-0 lead into a 6-4 defecit. I am so burned out on the constant stream of injuries at this point, I can only laugh them off for so long. I mean damn near everyone in my starting lineup has been injured at some point or another other then Leonys Martin and Kyle Seager. Pitching wise I've lost 2 of my top 3 pitchers, hopefully Paxton isn't out for long but this is insanity.

Not to mention I'm playing Minnesota who I am 1-5 against so it figures the moment I'm cruising is when my SP just happens to get injured to open the door for them to score.

Alright, tried 1 game with RP Stamina at 4. Since I was behind to Minnesota and didn't want to burn through arms I decided to try and see how far I could push someone like Marc Rzepczynski and his 19 stamina. He came into the game with full energy so it was a good barometer of what it might be like with it at 4. Let's just say I think 4 might be too high, he was able to go 2.2 IP on that 19 stamina before he finally got into the yellow stamina wise throwing 40 pitches in the process. I'll keep it there for a few games to see if it was a weird occurance and not the norm but I would think with 19 stamina that he would literally be coming in to face 1 or 2 batters and that's it. How is testing looking for you Armor?

I've gone back to 5 for reliever stamina. Anything under default means your pitcher with full energy comes in the game with less than 100% of his stamina.

I mean it sounded good but watching Marc Rzepczynski go over 2 innings with 19 stamina was worrisome and that was with it at 4. You're not seeing RP's going too long in games when taking into account stamina ratings?

Maybe I'm not understanding but how can a RP with full energy come into the game with less then full stamina? Is it from leaving them up in the pen too long perhaps? I haven't seen this so wasn't sure how that could be happening.

I have been using these sliders on HOF with meter pitching. At first I was doing too good still so I bumped user control/consistency to 3 from 4 and upped computer contact to 6 and I hVe been having some great results. That is for anyone who uses meter pitching. I have also turned off any visual aids like ball trail and what not.

I've been using SP and RP stamina on default. With full stamina, any reliever will be able to go multiple innings but it will take them days to recover if they do. Regarding starters, you really need a day off or to use a spot starter to have a starrter fully recovered.

Just streamed opening day with OP sliders. Only differences for me (my ability) is HUM ctrl 3 and const 4 and I also have pitch speeds both at 5. Just comfortable to me. Good game, only 1 wild pitch.

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

I saw something pretty cool today. I was pitching with one of my relievers and I saw him throw a very wild change up to the backstop; Then I got a injury message pop up stating that he could of torn something in his elbow and needed to be removed. After the game he was out 2 months. Never saw a pitcher throw an elbow out like that in this game.

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

I also have noticed my bullpen guys getting tired easily, especially if they pitched multiple days in a row. They're getting tired and giving up a lot of HRs. I guess I will up that slider to 4 or 5.

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

probably a very noob question but what is the difference between zone hitting and directional?

I play zone but i never use the left stick i alway just swing with the x button and its mainly a timing issue. Would zone or directional be better to play with out the left stick? If there is a better suggestion im all ears. Ive been hitting around .200 for a while but i played this way last year and i never had issues. this year hitting seems different. Im on all star setting, if that matter.

The way you're playing, the bat never leaves the center of the zone. If you want to play zone and not fool with moving the PCI, I suggest turning Guess Pitch to Quadrant and guessing location. That way you're at least moving the bat around.
