Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

These sliders work fine with the hybrid, just drop legend pitching to hall of fame.

Any reason for dropping legend to hof for hybrid rosters? I've been getting smoked on legend ever since downloading the hybrid rosters, so I'm curious.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

My last 4 games. Won 6-5, jumped out early with two 3 run innings and the cpu kept crawling back, big fist pump when I held on for the save. 2-0 shutout, my first of the season. 10-4 blow out, with no home runs. 3-14 loss (second blow out loss against the nats this year). Hit a 3 run hr in the first off Strasburg and then gave up 2 in the 4th, 6 in the 5th and 2 more in the 6th. Ended the game by throwing two innings with a back up catcher!! Great variety, only game I felt was off was the last one because I just couldn't get the cpu to miss the ball. They fouled everything they didn't crush. But I struck out 9 the game before so I'm not worried. After this last game I'm 10th on hits allowed and 11th in era so finally getting the braves pitching closer to where it should be. I love this game!

Oh, and Strasburg was pulled after 8 innings on quick counts, so safe to say that's been fixed as they said it was.

Yea. The pitch edits with the hybrid rosters lowered control for individual pitches for all pitchers across the board so it's harder to command your pitches, that's why you're getting smoked lol. I was getting smoked to until I went down to hall of fame. Still a challenge but you won't be getting killed with your studs.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

I'll keep an eye out for those slower developing defensive plays. It sounds as though you guys are using manual fielding? I use auto, in case that helps. I haven't seen these issues.

As for the OF arm strength, just my last game Ozuna threw out a guy tagging up at 3rd trying to score. I see no issues with it--most plays at the plate are...well, not really plays at the plate; most guys score rather easily on tag plays in MLB.

As as Jacoby Jones, in the roster sets I've seen, he is rated pretty bad on defense. Definitely not as accurate as he probably should. He's not great in CF, but he's definitely pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback guys. yes I have it on auto fielding, everything is set exactly the same as yours. ill just keep an eye on it, as it sounds like it could be a number of things... ballpark, fielder, arm strength... I don't want to change it if nobody else is really having this problem. Again, Mike I think these sliders are the cats meow.... great challenging games and numbers are spot on! Ive had more extra inning games in the last two weeks then I believe I had all last year. Just have to do some GM work on these damn tigers lol. Keep up the fantastic work!! "Lets play two!"

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Do you guys think these sliders would be ok with analog pitching and hitting? I've been hitting ok, but getting killed on pitching. On HoF hitting and Legend pitching. Without sliders Legend pitching was a little to easy, so I like the sliders. Think going to HoF pitching would help? I found without the sliders HoF patching was way to easy.

I haven't used buttons since analog came out, so don't want to switch. Love the tune though.

The season is 162 games so I'd say drop down the pitching to HOF and see how that works out or adjust the sliders a little to ur liking!! I had to adjust my hitting from HOF to all star since I'm a first pitch swinger lol [emoji23]

What adjustment would you suggest to bring down pitcher hit against avg?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Goodness, these are producing absolutely perfect results. Everything is measuring perfectly.

Only question I have is whether we like steal success rate high and frequency low.

Is it cutting down on hit and runs? Seems to me a little bit? Does the AI still try and steal? Are still seeing caught starlings?

The rest look beautiful.

If they are hitting to much then bring down CPU contact 1 at a time and see how that feels! I don't play on the analog I do pulse pitching so it's a lot easier for me!! I just suck at mixing my pitches up. I'm not good at adjusting off speed and fastball!! But honestly I'd let mike answer this!! He is a perfectionist at these sliders!!

I've only played a few games with these but I'm still seeing the CPU attempt hit and runs frequently and most of the time it's with a slow runner at 1st as well

Other than that everything is looking good

I use HoF zone hitting and legend analog for pitching and these sliders are working really well for me
I'm getting the most realistic games that I've had playing The Show using these sliders
If you are finding that the CPU are hitting too well I would suggest bumping pitching down to HoF and see how that goes, these sliders will still play out fine on HoF

I'm not sure if someone answered you yet but I play strictly with analog too and I think you should be fine if you drop to hof pitching.
