Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

So I'm trying out these sliders as I am writing this and it may be a stupid question but how do you aim your pitches without the strike box and the everything being empty? How am I suppose to pitch the corners with these? I'm using meter pitching BTW.

Haha, well indeed, it's all about feel and experience I think. If you've played a few games with the cursor on, you'll have a bit of muscle memory for how far outside or inside you go relative to how much you move the stick. And then it's about a bit of guess work on how much the pitch will break etc...just like real life!! If it's too much, put the cursor back on for a bit and get that feel for how far it moves with the stick...or alternatively, put vibration on so you know when you're reaching the edges...after a while, it will become second nature!

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

I've played my franchise up to date with the averaged out OS Sliders.

I decided to play a game strictly with your slider set up. I used All-Star Directional Hitting. Legend Classic Pitching.

Going into this game I was 19-12 with my Mets. Marlins I do believe were 17-13.

Good stuff. I enjoyed it very much. Not sure if it was the usual placebo effect, but I seen a few balls hit off the wall that most likely are home runs on the other set. Seen a few errors and a few balls land just out of reach over the outfielders glove.

If vibration is on you will feel the edges of the zone. That is how you feel around. Go do some pitching practice with the exact settings and try to paint corners. I'd say 30mins to a hour and you should be comfortable enough to do so anytime.

If vibration Is off I suggest the same thing. You just won't feel the edge of the zones so it will be more difficult. But realistic because you don't "feel the zone" as a pitcher and you don't see it either. It's all instinct

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

I have no clue if this has been asked before so if it has I apologize. But do these work well with RTTS? I'm trying to find a good balance to hitting

IMO they work excellent for RTTS and player lock. I won't lie I'm the type of player where Ill push all user sliders for hitting to like 7-8 while in AA because I hate spending so much time in minors.. but I have 3 guys MLB level (72 ovr & up) and I'll post their stats with Mikes sliders

My Cf 84 ovr..
.324 9hr 26rbi 12sb (40 games) may 17th 2017

Lf 79 ovr
.330 5hr 15rbis 6sb (23 games) may 17th 2017

sS 75 ovr
.272 2hr 10rbi 3sb (36 games)

Mike Lowe : got another discussion or open thoughts encouraged.
I love the sliders I do my fair tweaks here and there. As I sit here and watch MLB network all morning each Sunday I watch the top plays of the week in different sittings.

With that being said I'm wondering how to induce more diving plays in OF and more OF assist

I personally play with field speed - 2
Reaction-3
Of throw strength at 4. I have a RTTS center fielder and if they are a 68+ speed they have been safe every time.

Also I've tested with 92 & 96 throw strength ratings and guys do not throw to any base in the air. If they get it to catcher in air it's barely.

So I think 5 of throw strength is more appropriate. IMO also with the speed cut down it definitely compensates what I would say "all fielders definitely lack "URGENT THROWING ANIMATIONS"

Overall I'm going to test
oF throw strength at 5
Fielder speed at 2
Reaction at 3


If that doesn't fix my peeves I will try down clicking fielder speed
But upping reaction

At this point I think it's near impossible throwing out Double stretches/ Tags from 3rd/ tags from 2nd/ ect


I've came to these conclusions by playing 47 games with one of the games strongest arms available

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Been using these for a few days now with some of my own adjustments. Overall pretty good... I keep losing but good games overall.

I have fielder reaction at 3 instead of 2.
I use 10 and 8 for fastball and offsepeed

I knocked power down 1 for both and solid hits up 1 for both... have had way less moon balls for HRs had a couple line drive lasers too that skimmed over the wall.

So my question is this.... why do fielders take FOREVER to pick up the bll in the outfield and then when you throw it in they just lob it instead of throwing it full power. I use hall of fame difficulty with buttons fielder with meter on and also no feedback there is no difference they still grab it and lob it.

And another one is one passed balls I get it with the catcher and I throw down to 2nd or 3rd and they lob it.. or they take forever to get it out of there gloves. *They sometimes do this double tap with the ball in their miTt.. what the hell is that? *Is there a faster way to throw the ball to the pitcher when hes covering home also on passed balls!?!!!!! THEY SCORE EVERY TIME!!!!!

What are your thoughts on using Pure Analog Hitting?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

I am curious about this also...I have used it and it seems like it could be pretty good but I didn't stick with it too long. I was on allstar using flick not stride.

What are your thoughts on using Pure Analog Hitting?

I'm with you ; I think the animations for throwing are so elongated(drawn out) I also think they don't appropriately throw the proper velocity. For this fact I must try to compensate this by upping the velocity

He means (in game ) you will turn CPU starting stamina to 5
CPU reliever stamina to 5 and
manager hook to 2
But as soon as they put in a relief pitcher.... change manager hook to 7

I like the tweaks you're trying, but disagree strongly on fielder reaction. That has much more to do with infield play.
