Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Planning to play a late Sunday night game if anyone's around...

Probably in the next hour?

I love how you play the actual day of the game. Makes me want to try to catch up my franchise so I can do the same. Now if you miss a game I assume you play a double header? What do you do when you crave to play more than one game a day? Just curious on what and how you do it.

Yes, it's very fun. Yes, I will sometimes play a doubleheader, or just use an off-day to get caught up.

For instance, Miami actually has TWO off-days this week, so I'm thinking I'll actually play the Sunday game tomorrow.

What do I do when I crave more games? I'll play a different mode or go outside haha

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

So I played a three game series versus the Marlins with these and certainly had a variety!

The Marlins actually swept me, lol. Lost the first game 6-5, second one 9-8 in 10 innings!

And then game 3 I lose 1-0. Only run was a Dee Gordon first pitch homerun. I allowed 3 hits all game and lost. Hitting with the shadows at Nats park really made it difficult.

I legit had nothing going on until the top of the 9th. I can't believe i ended up winning this, even after blowing a 3-2 lead in btm of the 9th.

I'll be streaming the Marlins Sunday game today at 5pm ET sharp. I've really loved the chats we've been having during my streams, and I'm glad to hear they are helping folks out.

The Marlins are actually off today, so this game will put me right back on schedule.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

I always look at your sliders and question them. I should know better as I've used yours for Madden and they usually play really well!! I've been struggling finding both a human and cpu pitching set up I like this year as I usually use one of the other popular sets on here religiously. I was really skeptical of yours, gave them a try and man do I love them!!


I completely changed the way I pitch now because of them (classic Pitcher here), and I am getting realistic pitch counts and total pitches from both cpu and human. Great work man!

Hey Mike,

Last question - I promise! I know I asked earlier about the pitching difficulty.

On hitting - would it be okay to use with dynamic hitting, or should it stay set on one?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

FWIW I'm not considering it - I was just curious as to how dynamic played with the sliders.

Just finished up my fourth game on this set. Loving the variety! After getting shutout 1-0 my offense explodes for a 9-2 win over Philadelphia.

I played on dynamic for both hitting and pitching for a few games to get where my skill set would lay. I ended up with Veteran hitting and All Start pitching. Adjusted my skill to those levels permanently, and continue to get good, realistic results.

I was actually thinking about this last week. I think it's a better approach than guessing at what adjustments to make, especially for a minute' change.

I've thought about it at times, but I feel I'm getting decent results as is. But if the game can aid in helping make the adjustments itself, then why not?

I just played my first game on auto fielding and while I did notice the different animations, I had a lot of errors. The AI committed 1, but my team committed 4! I don't know if that is linked to auto fielding, but I think having 4 in a game for one team is too many. Granted this may not happen again, but I wasn't sure if the two were related.

I would say it's a fluke. I had 1 in my first game, but none since. Just monitor your results and make minor adjustments to the sliders.

It's an anomaly. I've played on auto the entire season up to this point, and have never had a game with even 3. I'm a pretty good defensive team, and I try and keep a strong defense out there, so I wouldn't worry about it just yet.
