I don't follow?

It was being discussed about possibly changing that slider to quicken pulling the SP.

However that part actually works fine when you are playing games, and it was being discussed about how that change would effect sim stats.

The problem is sliders do not effect simmed games, ONLY played games.

Question, because I haven't tested it yet and I don't know the answer.

Is the Offspeed Pitch Speed slider only measured in relation to the Fastball Pitch Speed (FPS) slider, or does it act completely independent of it? For example, if both are at 10, is a curveball going to come in faster than if the FPS slider was set to 0 instead?

Guys with big breaking balls are going to yield more wild pitches...just as in real life.

I see a really good variety depending on pitcher repertoire and the quality of the catcher.

My exact thoughts. But again I will always say....these are my personal settings....tweak them to what you like. But for me personally this set does pretty much exactly what I see in the real Show day to day (I watch baseball pretty much every single day of the season on the MLB Extra Innings package plus Quick Pitch every morning religiously) and provides what I feel is as close to a "true to the ratings" experience as you can get.

I think there's still too many. I think most teams average a wild pitch 1 every 3 games and in the game, I'm seeing 1 on average.

I threw 4 with Vincent Velasquez in 5 innings last night and then one more by the bullpen.

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

I finally broke out for a W! (It feels good)
Now it was my turn for a ball to die down in center field in PNC park.

Reds made interesting in the 8th & 9th innings, more importantly Polanco threw out Hamilton at home in the 9th!

Nova was lights out! Bailey wasn’t.

Reds 2 8 0
Buccos 3 11 1

Everyone has varying degrees of skill in classic pitching....I am not throwing that many wild pitches and I have seen on average 1 2 max from the CPU a game and it has not happened every game for me. And on top of that....taking a base on a wild pitch is far more difficult thanks to the vastly improved catcher animations and throwing.

150% better than 17.

MLB 17 forever retired. I can never go back and play it with 18's gameplay. Simply can't.

This game is a dream no doubt, it keeps dragging me away from the real thing on the MLB package. I love that channel on DirecTv (720)with 8 games at once.

I’ve seen one wild pitch and one passed ball by the CPU in 7 games so far. I think I’ve thrown 3 or 4. Would have been more but I threw out 2 runners trying to advance on a wild pitch. I can live with those numbers.
Also the struggles with HOF hitting are real, but the satisfaction of finally breaking out and getting some big hits is a thing of beauty. The hit variety in this game on HOF is amazing. I’m seeing things in just 7 games that I have never seen before in any version of the Show.

The problem with wild pitches in MLBTS is they bounce off the dirt, or the dirt and mitt and go flying like a rubber ball. That just doesn't happen. Well happens rarely. Most "wild pitches" in real games are complete misses by the catcher. Balls in the dirt in real life hit the dirt and lose velocity and nine out of ten the catcher controls it where a runner can't advance. In the show however it hits the mitt or dirt then mitt and gains velocity shooting left or right. That's the part they need to tone down. Most pitchers don't get 5 in a season, let alone 5 (just an example) in a month.

Bottom line is, it's in the game and you just have to roll with it.
