Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

So aside from my historically bad strike out numbers whilst pitching, there are two things spoiling immersion for me.

Freddie Freeman is one! I've already stated ages ago on here that I need sliders for him and sliders for the rest of the team! Through 57 games he's hitting .328 with 25 home runs and 56 rbi. Next on the team Inciarte hitting 288, then phillips hitting 245 and Kemp 227. No one else hitting above 200. Kemp has 8 home runs, no one else more than 4.

Second is doubles. Dead last in doubles, 74 after 57 games. Have hit 5 in my last 7 games as a smaller sample size issue.

I'm giving up a great variety of hits (and plenty of them - double digits 7 or 8 games in a row, grr) but can't hit extra base hits. I am on contact 6 power 5 solid 6 timing 2 fouls 3. Don't think I need to change anything else...maybe I should do solids 6 or contact 7 but everything else is playing really well so don't want to mess too much. Any thoughts?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Mike, team stats through 54 games (1/3 of the season)

* Looking this over, I too need to throw more balls out of the strike zone...

* 5 of Gordon's 7 HR's happened during a 3-game set...

* Gordon, Moustakas & Moss are being nerfed by defensive shifts...

* No need share caught stealing stats, I run myself out of SO many innings trying to open holes for this weak hitting line-up...

* Sim stats wise - Bumgarner (4), Kershaw (3), Hernandez (3), Kluber (2), Arrieta (2), Greinke (2), 22 SP's with (1) shut outs. Me/KC (0)

You're in the same boat as me--I'd lower CPU solid hits -1 to 3.

The first thread discusses it, but play with CPU stamina starting at 5. Sim with that slider at 10.

For CPU relievers, leave it at 5 unless simulating games, then it should be at 0.

Manager hook should be set to 2 at the start of a game, then go to 7 once they go to their bullpen past the 4th or 5th inning. Sim with that slider at 7 as well.

So my franchise is with the Mets and I've played every single game so far, and I'm 75 games into the season. I've only struck out 346 times (2nd place in the league has 455). I've struck the computer out 565 times...diving in a little deeper into that last stat: Noah Syndergaard has 97 K in 96 IP, and Jacob deGrom only has 74 K (!) in 99 IP. Both are top of the line strikeout pitchers but this isn't reflected. My biggest concern is that I'm not having trouble getting outs (I have the 2nd best ERA in the league) it's just that I don't get nearly enough strikeouts. In my last 2 games, both starts with Sybergaard and deGrom, I pitched 7 innings as each and the had 5K and 4K respectively.

Seems to me you are around the zone too frequently, and refusing to throw out of the zone in 3-ball counts. My proof is in how deep your SPs are consistently going, albeit they are very good SPs.

Throw balls to get more strikes...if that makes any sense

What's even more interesting, someone in my stream pointed out that had it not been for a Marlins rainout earlier in the year (RL), we'd have the exact same record.

Now if we only had rainouts in MLB The Show...

Me too with my Braves. Make up double header this weekend, so I'll be back on track...but with the way I'm pitching, I imagine my record will be worse than real life by then!!

I've been pretty decent at pitching with these sliders, although I do get banged around a ton (pause)...

What I find most helpful in getting strikeouts is pitching off-speed under the knees or diving away from the knees outside of the strike zone.

My pitching philosophy is weird, but it works:
"Where can I place the ball in or around the zone, that the batter can't create enough torque for a solid base hit?" I try to keep the batter off balance to keep them honest at the plate, and I also pitch in accordance to their knees -- can they adjust their knees and hips to really put a charge into the ball?

I know, the game isn't that deep. But, these sliders really make you pitch as if the batter is a real life person.

Attack the knees, hips and hands of the batter/ change speeds. You'll see a lot more swing and misses.

I lol'd at the "pause"

I can appreciate the torque reference haha. Thanks for the input, though. I'll start trying to incporporate more offspeed into my game. I know, that I've tried to use sliders the same way I have in the past, and the CPu just seems to hit it more.

Thanks for the input!

That actually makes plenty of sense. Maybe this will also help the fact that I barely walk the CPU lol.

Thanks for the advice, Mike.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

Mired in an 8 game losing streak during which time I've had a .228 babip. Think it's just me doing that pulling down on the stick/weak fly ball during my swing. Wondered about bumping hum contact to help?! Either way, need to cut it out! Gone from third to last in the NL East in that time!!

Like you said in one of the streams, when you score 5 runs you give up 12. When you give up 1 run you can't score at all.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

I'm just wondering : is the fact that a team is playing at home earns some kind of hidden bonuses ?

Because I've finished a 4 games at SF with the Dodgers and almost every time they hit the ball, even if it was a bad swing or a really bad hit (like hitting the ball way outside the zone), it became a ground ball base hit or a ugly popup just behind the infielders.

Otherwise, your sliders are really great.
