Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

So just been going through Spring Training, before Year 3 (day 2019), in my Astros carry over franchise. Team has played pretty well. AJ Pollock our main FA signing has slotted into the 2 spot nicely hitting over .300 and 7 HRs.

One big down note though is what just happened in the penultimate game of ST. Brian McCann collapsed running to 1B and was seen beating the turf in agony holding his achilles and unfortunately the worst fears were confirmed later that day. He tore his achilles tendon and will be out for over 6 months!

Not only will that obviously end his season but at 35 it could end his career. Would be a sad way to go out especially after he bounced back in Year 2 (2018) hitting a career high 41 HRs.

The Astros may now look into possible trades/free agents for a Catcher but for the immediate future veteran Juan Centeno may well get the starting role to begin the season which would be a considerable downgrade both offensively and defensively.

Are you able to edit injury length for a player on your team? For example, if I have a player out 6 plus months and I don’t want to lose him that long, can I somehow edit his injury length to something less than 6 months?

Yes you would have to go into Gameplay Settings, and turn injuries to manual. Then go to your DL and hit R1(i think) and choose the player and change his injury. Then, go back and put Gameplay injuries on that profile back to On.

I have not done this, so i cant promise it wont reset the other injuries on that profile. I dont think it will, but someone else may know better.

Turn Injuries to Manual in your Game Settings. Apply changes.

Go to DL screen and tab over to Manage Injuries (I think that's what the header is).

Find the player with the injury.

Remove the injury (you'll be prompted to).

Apply an injury with less duration.

Repeat as necessary (including other teams if desired).

Go back out and turn injuries back to On (leaving it on manual, effectively, turns them off it seems because they don't seem to happen without you creating them).

Quick question about pitch speeds, Armor. I remember you mentioning your reasoning before in having offspeed pitch speed one notch higher than fastball pitch speed. I skimmed through the thread today but couldnt find it so i thought i would ask...

If i remember correctly (?), you said the default/osfm rosters give too much disparity between changeups and fastballs (more than the real life difference), is that right?

I was also wondering what your observations were when you had the pitch speed sliders equal? With the pitch sliders set equally, did you find that there were too many swings and misses at early pitches? Or do you think it would just throw timing off where we would have too much bad contact due to being too early, etc?

I think you had also mentioned that Hybrid rosters may fix the disparity in the pitch edits, which might remove the need for bumping up offspeed pitch speed. Having used Hybrid now, do you believe this to be the case this year?

Ok so my one quick question turned into a few as i was typing lol. Sorry for having you hash this out if you've already done it.

Even with the Hybrid roster I have kept it at 5/6 for my pitch speeds. I am just so used to it now.

Thanks for the feedback gents on the injury edit. Much appreciated.

My struggle is that I've been playing MLB 2K13 for the last 5 years (as a 360 user who never owned a PS). I just switched over to MLBTS, and I LOVE it - BUT, I have a learning curve with the muscle-memory stuff on the controller. Also, the hitting in MLBTS is a bit harder for me because I have to be more patient at the plate and wait a bit longer for the ball-on-bat physics.

I've found pitching to be easy to pick up on and I use the pitch meter - still toying with some difficulty stuff. I'm updating my rosters based upon the awesome stuff the OSFM team provides, so I just want to get the feel for things before starting my franchise.

I also struggle with baserunning as the controller options are slightly different. I know you "lifers" of MLBTS might see the warts in this game - and there are some - but as someone new to this title I really appreciate the helpful sliders here as a base to help me get started. I've tinkered with some camera views but really this set was the foundation I needed - having read over all the notes and rationale for them. So I just wanted to say thanks for all the input here and what you guys do!

Harsh!! You made switch to PS also. Awesome. Same for me being used to 2k. Try the batting cam "retro", helped me a lot, and seems to be closest to 2k batting cam. Look me up on PSN as well. Welcome!

For the first time ever I just about threw my controller into the wall. Bottom of 9th I'm up by 1 with 2 outs and bases loaded for the Mets. Get a routine groundball to Freeman at first and i tap O for him to goto the base. A glitch that's happened to me at least 5 times so far this season happened and Freeman just runs past first base and is uncontrollable.

Mets tied the game and won on the next pitch.

A) Does anyone else get this glitch as often as I do?

B) On groundballs to first how do you control your player (assuming u use the same auto fielding setup as Armor does). I tap O and 1st baseman either takes it himself or tosses it to the pitcher. Is there any other option that could possibly limit this issue from popping up.

Yeah. It can come in handy. I injured Robinson Cano for 80 games doing this. Because i have a strict banned substances policy.

And now you know

I tap Oif I want him to toss it to the pitcher covering but if I want him to go to the bag himself I move my joystick the far right

Maybe try not pressing any button and just moving your first baseman to the bag. Or stand in the baseline and wait for the hitter and tag him out.
