Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

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.

Bump solid hits down 1 to 3. That's what I'm currently using. Still monitoring that change at the moment.

Ok, thanks !

I still have 2 games to play to finish the month of April. After that, I'll post some stats.

I'll be streaming Marlins @ Pirates as soon as I finish up with this workout! Be about 15-20 mins.

Okay now I'm 20 games in. 16-4 with the a revamped pitching staff Pirates team. I switched back to the outfield camera for pitching and my results are better. Still ranking 23rd or worse in most categories and 1st with 40 walks allowed but at least I have a viable strategy now and it just comes doe to execution.

My offense is unbelievably hot though. .346 team batting average. 198 runs scored. 51 home runs. 108 walks taken. 122 strikeouts.
Starling Marte is batting .560 and I have the top 3 batting averages in the league and 6 of the top 11. Starling Marte also leads with 12 homers and Polanco is 2nd in the NL with 9. David Freese ranks 7th in OPS mostly off the bench.

Using HoF hitting and all settings from front page. Any suggestions or just wait it out?

Im in the same boat as you, Ive tried 4 games with hum contact at 5 and im still hitting very well. I also never strike out either, I strike out maybe 3-4 times a game and 2 of those are usually from my pitcher. I honestly might try playing with hum timing at 0 to see if i can strikeout some more lol.

I would start by increasing to Legend hitting. After that, yes start tinkering with human timing and contact.

I agree with this. I was having the same problem getting 11 to 15 hits most games and of those about a third were doubles.
Everyone plays a little different so tinkering is always good off of a great base slider set like these.

I bumped up to Legend and saw only a little better results, until I bumped up Human Contact a notch and Lowered Human Solid Hits to 3. I'm still experimenting but it's challenging to hit now. But Legend helped me see more realistic stats offensively

What are your thoughts and reasoning for the changes? Personally I like to hear the "method behind the madness". This helps me make my own personal tweaks as well

I'll be discussing on my stream starting at 5pm ET today.

Three changes, and here is the gist:

User pitcher consistency +1 (less wild pitches, etc.)
CPU timing -1 (more swings resulting in misses, slightly less offense potentially)
Injuries -1 (because of a lack of minor league depth, I'm lowering this one notch. 9 is still probably the most realistic though to MLB, just FYI)

I think that was it?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '17 Sliders

I was wondering if I can use analog pitching for your sliders cause I love your sliders but I find meter tough
