I will preface this by saying these are likely niche sliders for gamers like myself that are on the plus side of 50 years old. I am very active and in great shape, but like everything else the eyes take a hit as you get old and I am not as good on the stick as I was 10,20, 30 years ago.
The purpose of these sliders is to create a fun, realistic experience for those in my shoes, so hopefully you will give them a try and leave feedback if that shoe fits
Update 07/20/17 Patch 1.10
User Hitting: Veteran or Veteran+
User Pitching: All-Star or HOF
Hitting Interface: Directional (I like this because ratings factor in more)
Pitching Interface: Classic (Same as above and you need to get to know your pitchers to know when to release, as I play with vibrations off)
Quick Counts: On
*I only hit with the X button, again to let ratings factor in more, rather than artificially expand the plate coverage, or power. User preference here.
I like a clean screen because it provides better immersion for me, so I let the catcher call the game. I have pitch confidence on and the pitch call out set to yes, but everything else is off, including vibration as indicated above.
I go with auto fielding and base running, and only decide which base to throw to.
Personal Ump preference is on
Hitting view is offset zoom (That eyes thing)
Pitching View is custom, start with pitcher wide, elevate it and zoom so I can see the Catchers fingers.
Patches 1.09/1.10 may have been a boon in that it made most of the default settings viable again and continues to provide an awesome game play experience.
Sliders for 1.10
Everything on default except
Human Timing 2 (Need to provide some challenge on veteran hitting)
CPU pitcher consistency 4 (CPU needs to miss it's spots or too many pitches get grooved on veteran hitting)
Fielder Speed 4 (So you don't completely neuter the gap hitting)
Injuries 6 (More realistic in relation to the modern game)
*If you go with HOF pitching lower CPU solid hits to 4 (Everything else same as All-Star)
For pitch speed, it is important to keep both numbers the same, especially on veteran hitting, otherwise everything is too easy to time.
That's it, these have given these a good test run by myself and recently Bryan1982 and we are getting a good variety of results, pitching and hitting both factor in player ratings more than ever and fielding is better than it was on default pre-patch with slider adjustments. The combination of human timing and pitcher consistency adjustments prevent you from just teeing off on veteran hitting and All-Star pitching requires more precision than before, so you just won't mow through lineups.
