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

My braves are falling apart lol. After a good April where I finished the month with a 19-15 record I have now lost 5 straight I can't hit I can't pitch. This game is so awesome with the ups and down of a season.

Well I made some trades I picked up mookie Betts and Jason Harrison and I also created acuna which I have him at a 82 rating. But I damn sure can't pitch with that sorry *** pitching staff. Lol

Lol glad I'm not the only one. My wife is used to me yelling something during games, like I if get my pitch in a critical situation and pop it up. One day recently she asked me , "were you throwing things last night??" She said kept hearing a loud bang every little while. Lol. There is a big living room pillow that sits right next to me and when something bad happened or a player did something stupid, I would slam my hand down on that pillow. I didn't realize it was that loud. At least I have very mild temper tantrums... I slap pillows. And I get over it before the next pitch.

Hahahaha definitely not the only one. Hell my wife tells the in-laws you would think it was real life just by watching and listening to me. I tell her that it is real life for me lmao. The Show I feel pretty positive will be my only chance of ever playing a World Series game if my Braves will just get off their butts and play.

I have played about 10 games all with directional. With these sliders on all-star and hof. I have hit exactly 1hr total in those games. Any suggestions?

I'm still not 100% that the CPU offense is dangerous enough, but it seems this is the point where one click either way on anything is one click too many! I had it last year as well.

I was trialling contact and solid at 6, with power at 5 whilst Armor was away...still felt weak; bumped solid to 7, gave up 17 hits to the brewers (ranked 27th in contact).
Tried contact and power and 6, solids at 4 (as per OP) and still felt it was a little light, tried it with solid at 5 and gave up 7 runs in an inning without getting an out...It's like the one click here or there is a problem!

My next experiment was going to be contact 5, power 5, solid 7 - my rationale being, if they are not quite as good at putting bat to ball, but when they do, they have a better chance of making good contact, it should even out...given I'm not quite striking out enough batters, I thought this might also help.

Also trying contact 4 solids 5 on hum batting, as got double digit hits in every game I've played with 5 and 5, but have only struck out 51 times in 13 games so want to try and 'miss' more balls, but not sacrifice hit quality when I do line it up.

What I've done is lower my Pitch Control @ 3.... Did the trick for me.

I also play with my pitch marker on fade. I love the difference between the elite pitchers and 5th starters still. I just can't put the ball anywhere I want it (without some marker) even with good pitchers. Not yet anyway. So for Now this works great.

Lol when you invest the time it takes to play a full season of baseball it is real life right? I mean my wife cries during movies so....

Shoot, when I won the World Series with the Rangers a few years ago I nearly had a T-Shirt made haha. I told my wife I was going to go to a Trophy Shop and have a trophy made. The next day she brought home a blue Ring Pop and gave it to me and said "There is your World Series ring."

Do you use the left stick at all? What team are you using? And what pitch speed do you play on?

Also please check out my approach/guide to directional hitting. You can find the link to that thread in my signature. Everybody I would love for you all to check it out as well.
