BYU 14's "Old Guy" quick count sliders for The Show 17

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" quick count sliders for The Show 17

This is what I'm loving. I go into each game knowing that it's a challenge. I'm 4-4 in my season.

Total home runs for those 8 games. (both teams)
1
1
3 (game was 10-0) I lost and had no homeruns
4 (this was a 20-7, don't know what happened, but it was a slugfest)
1
4
1
0

Pitching, pitching, pitching. Really paying attention. Throwing balls out of the zone to try to fool the CPU (they WILL bite).

Good stuff, 1.875 for both teams is pretty solid I think and you still get the outlier like that 20-7 Football game


I am with you on pitching. I love that the CPU just doesn't automatically rake you on HOF with the timing/power adjustments, but still punishes you if you get careless. Thanks for the feedback.

Game 4 in OSFM Franchise now 2-2

Yankees 5-10-0
Orioles 1-7-0

Finally got a really good effort from my starter, Severino went 6.2, 5 hits, 0 runs, 2BB, 7K. I nibbled so he hit 104 pitches when I pulled him and Clippard lost the shutout giving up a solo HR.

HR
Yankees: Holliday (2)
Orioles: Kim (1)

2B Yankees 4, Orioles 1

Stars
Yankees - Ellsbury 3-3, 2B, BB 1RBI, 1RS
Orioles - Kim 4-4, HR, 1RBI, 1RS


I drew 5 walks and fanned 9 times, allowed 2 walks and struck out 11, first time in double digits.

I thought things might be better with the hook glitch, but the CPU pulled Nuno after 3 innings, his line was 3 hits, 2 ER, 4BB, 2 K. He was off in this game for sure giving up 4 of the 5 walks I drew, but he was only down 2-0 at the time and had 68 pitches. Very frustrating, I hope they get on this and tweak it!

How work sucks reading all these posts when all I want to do is go home and play.

LOL, working from home today, so I got to play at lunch

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" quick count sliders for The Show 17

I was thinking about going home for lunch to play. I live 5 minutes away but I only get 30 minutes it wouldn't be worth it by the time I turn the game on.

I love it, I'm not in the 50's ( Just turned 40 yesterday) but I can feel a decline in the batting stats while playing games so I'm going to give this a try

Had a crazy game. In my Cubs series after sweeping the Cardinals we headed to Milwaukee for the weekend series. After getting a 4-1 lead in the 4th I broke out and scored 6 runs to make it 10-1. After Chase Anderson got hurt on a comebacker they brought in the bullpen in the 5th and I hit 3 doubles 2 singles. Lackey was cruising so I took out my starters and played my bench. Bottom of the 5th Lackey just lost it. He gave up 6 runs on 7 hits (0 homeruns) and couldn't get a out . Bullpen got out of it with a 10-7 lead. Finished the game winning 14-7.

Cubs 14 17 1
Brewers 7 11 0

Cubs:

2 HR

Brewers:

1 HR

Love the sliders so far. Hoping the high offense is just a fluke in this game.

Okay so game 2 of the series had Arrieta vs Guerra. We were scoreless until the 6th inning when they manufactured a run. I tied it up in the 7th with a double and a single. Won it on a sac fly in the 10th to win 2-1. So it was a nice change right after a 2- run game the night before. The CPU bug really affected the Brewers. Guerra went 5.1 IP 2 H 1 BB 5 K. Took him out when he gave up a 1 out single. Really disappointing and hope it's fixed in this update tomorrow morning. That is ridiculous.

Cool to see the variety, slugfest to old school pitchers duel. I agree about the hook bug. Just finished a game and Ubaldo Jimenez was mowing me down and the CPU took him out in the 5th up 2-0 after he allowed 2 baserunners with 2 outs. Very frustrating that this bug got through testing

Game 5
NY 7-8-0
Baltimore 3-8-1

I was helpless between the afternoon sun at Camden Yards and Ubaldo Jimenez slicing through the order. A potential masterpiece was ruined by the CPU taking out Jimenez in the 5th when he was in control of the game. Out penchant for the big inning continued as a throwing error by Machado in the top of the 6th opened the gate for 4 unearned runs as we put up a 5 spot on a 2 run jack by Holliday following the error and a two out three run shot by Gregorious, appearing in his first game of the season. I struggled with Mitchell's control early, but he settled down and went 6 decent innings giving up 6 hits, 3 earned runs, but walking 6 and striking out 4.

HR
Yankees 2 - Holliday (3), Gregorious (1)
Orioles 0

2B
Orioles 4 Yankees 1

I drew 3 walks and fanned 8 times and gave up 7 walks (ugh) while striking out 9. The big inning is the difference between 3-2 and 1-4 right now.

I am leaving Milwaukee 6-0. I won the finale 5-2. Took a 3-0 lead and they scored single runs in the 5th and 6th to make it 3-2 and I got a couple insurance runabout in the 7th. Good game all around.

Game 7 against the Dodgers and I'm 7-0. The wind was blowing out I won 7-5. I hit 6 HR and the Dodgers hit 2.

Dodgers 5 9 0
Cubs 7 11 1

Schwarber hit 3 HR and Seager hit 2. The wind helped most of them.

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" quick count sliders for The Show 17

Game 8 and the 2nd game of the Dodgers series wasn't raining. Since it wasn't raining I raised the throwing errors and wind up by 1. The wind wasn't blowing 10 mph in. I won 2-1. A wild pitch by the Dodgers gave me a 2-1 lead.

Dodgers 1 4 0
Cubs 2 6 2

I thought I might cheat the bug and when they got someone up in the bullpen in the bottom of the 5th inning I changed users and sat them back down. I had a glimmer of hope cause they didn't bring him back up. Then they brought him in in the start of the 6th inning with the game tied at 1.

I also tried to lower the my contact to 4 and power to 3 to see if it makes a difference. I am going to test that out for a bit.

Let me know how that plays. I have been toying contact to 4 to make the timing a bit more of a challenge.

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" quick count sliders for The Show 17

I put it back up to where you had it. I was down 5-0 in the 7th when I had to save it. Getting 1 hit by Kazmir. It felt off so I put it back. I was just afraid my team batting average would get too high. But most of the games I was getting between 8-11 hits batting about .250. The 2 high scoring games had me worried.
