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

    Armor,

    I use classic pitching with all visual aides off as well, but I'm wondering what you do when at certain ballparks, you can't see the catchers fingers because the broadcast camera angle causes the pitchers head/body to cover them.

    So far in my Yankees franchise, I've noticed this in Pittsburgh and Boston. I wasn't sure what to do so for those games I turned the pitch select display and API back on, which I'm not a huge fan of.

    Curious about what you do with this!

      Incredibly i can pick up what the call was 60% of the time as the catcher lifts his hand back to his mitt

      Other than that I call my own game in those situations.

      Good question!

        Everyone getting a good amount of doubles with these sliders? I am on default All-Star for hitting and lately I've been destroying the ball. I'm a little concerned to bump power and solid hits down to 4 but I may give it a shot.

            Man, I am struggling at the plate. Of course I am rolling with the Braves.

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

              I love these sliders and I've been playing with these for 3 years now but I think the game has become too easy for me now. I just finished the month of April with the Dodgers and I'm sitting at 22-4, highlighted by an 11-game winning streak mid-month and 9 games clear of 2nd place in the division.

              Has anybody found a way to make it more difficult with these sliders? I'm in the top spots of almost every hitting and pitching ranking and I have the most strikeouts in the majors with 2nd place being 50 K's behind.

              For those who moved to HOF, do the sliders work well? And what sliders should I change if I move to HOF?

                Play another month.

                Save your game where your at and do not overwrite that save.

                Play another month and report back.

                My hunch is you slump and come down to earth. And see a more normal ebb and flow. YOu had a fantastic month, pat yourself on the back and keep playing.

                If you end may 44-4 I will be stunned. If after May you are feeling like you can't be beat.

                Move up to HOF and start from the save file I told you to keep and not overwrite, as these work perfectly on that level as well.

                  Glorious doubles this year. Gap shots, down the lines.

                  Game is ****ing amazing.

                    I'm really trying hard to resist the urge to restart my franchise so this is a brilliant idea. Will give it a shot. Thanks, Armor.

                            How does the hitting aspect play on Veteran with these sliders? I've been rolling with them for my Tribe franchise and 10 games in (I know, I know, small sample size) I'm batting below the Mendoza Line as a TEAM! The only batter that I'm having any success with is Yandy (.445). I just feel I shouldn't be batting sub .100 with Lindor, Jose, and EE. Just feels like nothing is getting hit hard and everything is a weak fly ball.

                            However, pitching aspect of the sliders is great!

                              Keep our love fest going in here gentleman.

                              I can't say enough of how massive of an achievement this game is in the genre.

                              I don't know what's going on over in the general forum......but I am pretty stunned at how placebo'd it is getting. Perception will become reality if you keep reading and start just looking for every little minute thing wrong with a......wait.....here it comes:

                              A video game.

                              It will become a self fulfilling prophecy if you want to convince yourself the game is broken, ruined, not right blah blah blah.

                              Folks, this is supposed to be joy, stress relief, whatever the reason you play video games for.

                              I can tell you for me, I have been a sports gamer for 37 of my 47 years of life on this planet. Never in the history of my gaming life have I ever let a sports video game cause me anger, grief, despair, stress....anything like that.

                              So let's talk about MLBTS 17 here. I don't even want to wade in the pool of the general forum anymore. It's just chaos, panic and utter agenda positing. Every other thread is complaints, problems and nonsense. Buried in there are your RTTS and Franchise progress threads which are filled with stories and joy of peoples franchises. Buried in there are some great threads helping and guiding people on how to experience this game to the fullest.

                              But it is buried in the sea of negativity and downright venom.

                              Yes....maybe the game is not for some people, maybe they don't like the direction the franchise is taking.

                              I am not one of those gamers. For me this game is one solid patch from being the pinnacle of sports gaming.

                              Yes there are some bugs, and issues. Just like every single solitary year. And just like every single solitary year the SDS team releases a thorough game patch 4-6 weeks after release and historically it cures 99% of the issues reported.

                              The game is not perfect. But boy did they go for it on the field.

                              This is baseball!!!!! This is the game I see being played today IRL every night when I sit back and watch a ball game with my son.

                              The game has changed. Pitching habits and strategy has drastically changed over the last 4-5 years. Most starters are lucky to go 7 innings in the Majors these days. Regardless of pitch count and score. There are specialists now for inning 6, 7, 8 and 9. Bombs are hit nightly. And more frequent then ever. Again The Show is replicateing how this game is played....NOW!!!

                              Yet....yet for those who follow me on Twtich and watch my franchises and various test games.....have you seen anything odd or wrong with full count games?

                              A resounding NO!!!!!!


                              Is there a problem with QC and simulated games? Certainly with QC's.

                              I have reported a few bugs myself that I have seen in the games. But nothing has been so horrific for me that I can deem the game broken. Online....a whole other story.

                              But how do we know anything about a simulated games? We are not seeing the game. How do we know the pitchers pitch count, maybe he is getting banged around, maybe he got in trouble early? Maybe, maybe, maybe.

                              Yet when I simulated stats in a test they looked great. Every single sim I did. I had no real issues with it.


                              Quick Manage games do have some minor quirks and hiccups. it is a new feature and I expected some growing pains with it. But nothing that would make me outraged LOL!!!!

                              Guys.

                              Play the game. Enjoy your franchises. Create your baseball universe, create your storylines.

                              HAVE FUN and relax and enjoy. Because that is all I am doing and have been since 3/28. And I am far out of the so called "honeymoon" phase and I can't get enough of this game. It is all I will be playing till The Show 18 comes out. I am skipping Madden this year (yep you heard me right taking a pass on it for sure as 17 is all I need for another year of football). NBA 2K? LOL no more for me this gen. This last one is more than enough to satisfy my B-Ball fix for several years to come.

                              It is The Show for me. Every year without fail. This is the sports game I can't get enough of. And why?

                              This community. The roster community here is second to none. Cujomatty and Lowlight are pure gentleman in providing the SOTS packs for everyone to enjoy and love. This community needs to stick together and help each other enjoy these toy's we purchase as much as we can.

                              My only goal here each and every year to help all of you folks enjoy this game in ways you never thought of. Simulation style sports gaming is a passion of mine and I love sharing it.

                              But I refuse to become part of the mob mentality that has infested the general forum and I refuse to allow it to come into this thread.

                              I am not here to diagnose bugs in the game. I am not here to "fix" the game with sliders.

                              I am here to develop sliders and use those with settings that enhance the game for myself and to share that with all of you. That is it. Simple as that. I am not here to discuss theory's on what each and every slider does (boring Zzzzzzz). I am here to simply give you the settings I use that help me enjoy this game to the max. And those of you who have used my sliders for years know what it's all about. Fun first and foremost, followed by realism and and clean screen approach to sports gaming.

                              Those of you who have interacted with me on Twitch know exactly what I am all about and my true personality. I tell it to you straight. It's not rocket science. It's sports video gaming.


                              Nothing but baseball bliss thus far and after patch 1.04 comes out we will be even happier (SOTS fix, OSD fixes and some minor gameplay tuning that will be done and fixed).

                              The game needs a good patch.....again like it always does each and every year. This is nothing new!!!

                              There are some that simply don't like how the game feels.....that's cool. Go back to 16 and be done with it. But don't continue to have an agenda because I can assure you there are hundreds of thousands of players who are enjoying the game they made this year. OS is merely 1% of the Shownation.

                              1%

                              O.K. My rant is over.......

                              And remember.......
