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

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

Always love your sliders and style of play. Exactly how I play. Last year I for the first time used clean screen.I was looking at catcher's fingers and pitching that pitch and location as I do probably not 99% of the time. I however still had ball marker on, and eventually had to turn back on pitch type so I could see confidence for each pitch.

This year is the year I go full clean screen. No ball marker, or pitch type visuals. I will definitely need to practice with all my pitchers though first.

I plan to play with my favorite team, the Indians so with their pitching I figure without the aids I should still do okay as I learn their pitches and amount of break. Andrew Miller's slider may take a while 😉

Once you go clean screen, you'll never go back

If you will permit me a couple questions.

1. Would you change anything if using Quick Counts?

2. Why Balks off? Wouldn't this just be a part of the game?

3. Is button interface on fielding part of letting the ratings be the main factor?

Thanks again! Can't wait to get the game tomorrow and set this up.

I use quick counts and sliders work great with them in the past. I've used QC since it came out in I think 2015.

The 2 click discrepancy in the FB vs offspeed pitches is KILLING me.

I'm not in tune enough (anymore) with pitchers sliders, changeups, curveballs (speed) as compared to their fastball--but 15(ish) MPH seems a bit much...?

I was just 1 hit by the Indians 4th or 5th (I forget) starter (as the Yankees), and am currently being 2 hit (both little bloops) by the Phillies (Velasquez) as the Braves.

I struck out 15 times in the first game, and 6 of my 12 outs so far have been K's. Needless to say, I am really struggling to make contact.

One quick question, do sliders effect DD games? I guess there will be default sliders in head to head online games, but what about extra innings or conquest?

Hey everyone. I think we have a great base set here with 1.5 but......but....we are still in the heavy testing phase.

Things I am still testing are:


CPU Pitcher Hook Logic - I am going to test this slider at 4 in many games over the next week.

CPU Offense - I am going to test CPU contact moved up to 6 in combination with our new reduced power at 4 and timing at 3, solid hits at 3. I want to make sure we do not neuter the CPU’s offense and I want to make sure you pay for mistake pitchers with higher contact!


Other than those things I love where fielding and throwing are at. I am seeing some really great and untimely errors as we should. Errors are made every day in almost every game in the Major Leagues.

Just want to say thank you for all the hard work you do making these sliders I have used them since I started playing The Show and they have played amazing for me so far this year.

Are these sliders available to download in the vault? I always use this set and they always work amazing! Thanks for all of your hard work.

I will put them up in the vault once I feel we have a true gold certified set.

Lol yeah I know but had to describe it somehow.

Two game test last night with 1.5 slider set, but with one tweak.

Red Sox v Phillies with Wright and Bucholz matched up. Phillies win 1-0 scoring on a fielders choice in the 8th inning. I had 4 hits, they had 6.

Yankees and Red Sox at Fenway Pineda V Rodriguez. Yankees win 4-0 with 6 hits to my 3.

Things I noticed... There were no homeruns in the game at all. I can't hit, or score runs. I may need to revisit my strategy at the plate, because I am barren up there. Barren like a 60 year old spinster. More testing needed, but I did something I really like for game three.

I moved the Human Pitcher Control and Consistency down to 2. My feeling was that even though my offense was not good in the first two games, my pitcher's control with the Classic Pitching was too good. No walks, and I never, even with a knuckleballer, felt like I was in trouble finding corners and spots. So, I decided to drop the two Human pitching controls down to 2, and fired up a game with Chris Sale on the mound against the Jays. The white knuckle ride that followed with Sale struggling to find his slider, but dominating with his two seamer was worth the price of admission. I had to actually try and mix in the slider in counts I was ahead to bring the confidence of that pitch back up to where I could get it close to where I needed it. I finally corralled the slider in the third inning, and Sale ended up taking the loss, but striking out 11 in a 3-0 loss.

Immediately afterwards, I threw Drew Pomerantz out there, and he immediately got himself into a 34 pitch first inning, barely escaping a beses loaded jam by giving up one run. He eventually lost 5-1 and JBJ finally hit a homerun, but at a respectable 355 feet.

I need to work on hitting and looking for pitches to drive with my Red Sox offense, but I am firmly ensconced in the Pitcher Settings on 2 for the time being. It was nerve wracking to the point of really having a hard time with the big hitters at the plate, wondering how the hell I was going to get them out, when I just couldn't get a handle on my control. But when I settled in, it was a thing of beauty.

Not telling anyone what to do with their sliders, but if you have a chance to run a game or two with the human pitcher settings here, I think you'll find it to be a new twist to an already brilliant game. Plus, as we kind of nerfed the CPU's Power and Solid hits, my feeling was that the lack of perfect control would lend itself to a few more mistakes, and that would buffer the power outage by making pitchers pay when their control went awry.

So far, I am so hooked on this game, just need my boys to start looking for good pitches to hit, and quit swinging at pus.
