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

    I'm having a tough time with hit variety.. Solo HRs are constantly my offense. Now that I have the timing down HRs have picked up big time. I'm wondering if foul frequency changes the hitting variety. Not sure if it changes the contact when the pitch is on the black..

      I would just ride the wave of good Home Run fortune. It is from my experience with theses sliders and this game that you will ride hot and cold streaks. Believe me, there will be a time over the course of the season that you are baffled because you simply cant hit or pitch....then all of a sudden you cant do anything wrong. It is such a beautiful and pure baseball feeling that is amazing it can come from a game. Either way, the Baseball Gods will eventually get their pound of flesh so you should just enjoy the ride. Of course, this is my opinion and all slider sets aren't for everyone, but these sliders as constructed on the OP give a great and true brand of baseball for me.

        Pitching on HOF is maddening for me. God forbid I score a run in an inning because 80% of the time the CPU is going to at least get it back. It wouldn't be so bad if so was leaving pitches over the plate but it's not the case and the CPU just seems to decide when to turns things in their favor even though they couldn't seem to hit until I scored in the previous inning.

        I just don't know what to do at this point because pitching on All Star isn't much of a challenge. I'm all for losing if I'm playing poorly but something seems amiss pitching on HOF.

          Try all star plus, you would need to use dynamic difficulty to get there. It's where I've settled in at and I'm enjoying it.

            Do you have it on the All Star Sliders or Hall of Fame sliders when you are on All Star+? Do you have Ptchibg Cont and Cons at 2 and 3 or at 5?

              I'm using analog pitching so my sliders on the pitching side are all different. 4 and 4 on consistency and control. CPU all default except timing at 4 and foul freq at 1.

                I test and develop these on Classic Pitching. I really can’t give you feedback on Analog pitching as I do not use it and never have.

                On Classic pitching with no ball marker and controller vibration I am loving HOF pitching. Highly realistic and rewarding. I have had to step up my game, have ultimate focus on every pitch, really mix things up the second and third time through the order. Look at my previous pitch sequence for each batter, and set them up.

                I have been racked, I have thrown shut outs, I have had amazing games.

                Nothing is amiss for me personally. It is the perfect level for my skill level on classic pitching.

                Sometimes hitters get hits and even HR’s on pitches that typically are tough to hit. It does not happen often for me.....but it has happened.

                And that’s baseball.


                Very very pleased with the move to HOF. Hope you can find some better balance on HOF.

                If I can give you any suggestion.....go default 5/5 for human pitching sliders.

                  So are you guys changing the injury slider between every game?

                    That is what I do.

                    Played games - 9

                    Simmer games - currently 6 but now testing at 7 and 8 as I want more injuries around the league.

                      Yep, I play my game (9), then load the 'alternate' set and sim everything else, then reload my main set (9).

                      Sounds like a pain, but the menus are so fast--it takes no time at all.

                        I keep mine on 7 the whole time and never touch it. 7 or 8 is the sweet spot in my opinion for an overall balance.

                        Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

                          Yeah I leave it on 8 for both and haven't ever changed it. The CPU isn't over run with injuries to big leaguers it's mostly guys in the minors but there are some bigger names injured like Goldschmidt and Mookie Betts.

                          Side note, about to stream a game, James Paxton vs Jose Quintana in Chicago.

                            A&S, not trying to hijack the thread--so I'll keep this short, but RUX, once you've settled, do you have the change frequency (or w/e it's called) at 0--or leave at default?

                              Once I realized I wanted to stay at as plus, I zeroed out the slider. That way I'm stuck at this level. If I decide later to move around I'll move it back to default. I'm having a mix of good and bad pitching outcomes on this level so I'm happy for now. I think if anything I'd adjust a slider or two here before I make the jump to hof, personally.

                              I also play quick counts only so it works better for me here as occasionally I'll get in put into tough counts so that is providing a difficulty boost in certain spots as well.
