        Thanks Josh.

        Exactly. Sample size. You will get extra base hits. Trust me but more importantly trust the settings and play.

        Just play and enjoy this great game.

          Can't wait to use these sliders again this year. Thanks Armor and thank Marino!


          Also an alternate way to check a pitcher's repertoire is to press right on d pad, then R1 to switch the box on the right side of screen. It will show the pitchers pitches in order. I like this way because it doesn't stop the sound of the crowd and announcers. Just thought I would pass that along.

            Plugged in the Gold changes. Played a couple RTTS games and one quick play game. Feels great!

              I wanted to share a little tweak that has worked for me with these sliders. My biggest issue has been that user strike percentage is too high for me (consistently around 80%).

              Someone will say, adjust pitch control/consistency...but nope....not what I am looking for....

              What I quickly realized is that even with a 'clean screen' approach...one thing was constantly psyching me out on throwing pitches outside of the zone....the controller vibration. It was an, "Oh crap, controller is vibrating too much, need to bring it into the strike zone more".

              I turned it off and voila....no cursor, no vibration, no strike zone display...everything based on feel. It isn't necessarily harder, but without that vibration "alerting me", I am aiming more of those pitches outside the zone; leading to a much more robust pitch/outcome variety and the strike percentage has consequently been dropping (still need more data points...but a good start).

              Sometimes the little things can make all of the difference...figured if it helped just one other person, it was worth the post

                Josh, do you use classic pitching?

                  Yup, for sure....I pretty much follow Armor's approach to a tee.

                    I'm going to give this a try but I found throwing this many strikes especially to good hitters leads to bad outcomes. Were you not seeing that? Especially with bad pitchers....

                      First game played. Plugged in sliders and started Giants test franchise. I play with quick counts btw. No homeruns. I am very rusty at the plate hitting so don't look for my offense to take off soon. Greinke was very good however.

                      My twitch is twitch.com/sbayird if u want to watch next game broadcasted.

                        I'm trying to avoid that exact issue. The vibration that occurs when going outside of the strike zone was psyching me out to be honest. I was throwing too many pitches in the zone....with it off, I am far more likely to really push the boundaries of where I target my pitches as there is far less certainty as to where the corner of the plate really lies.

                          For me it is the opposite. I start pitches outside the zone on purpose and also want to throw pitches outside the zone.....I like to set up and bait the the hitter to swing at bad pitches. I also like to back door sliders and cutters, and throw splitters low and in the dirt. Also how long you hold down can influence things.

                          But if this works for you awesome!!!

                            I can tell you even with manager hook at 2 there is a problem.

                            I am losing 1-0 top of the 6th with one out. I get a single and immediately the cpu yanks out the SP T. Walker. So he pitched 5 shutout innings and less than 80 pitches in the 6th and you pull him out after the first allowed base hit all game??

                            I'm going to put it at zero and go from there. This was always a problem but not this bad...then u get the opposite with them typically leaving RP in too long in the past if I remember correctly.

                              Yep it’s something they need to fix.....I am sure the patch will address it.
