I had a plan of just not using during MLB Network games, but I think I'm just gonna abandon them completely this year unless I just really have to squeeze a game in or something.

No. I only used them on 14 when they first came out. I love working counts on both sides myself. That is like 90% of the game for me.

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

This game is so damn good. After playing my first 30 games on default with allstar hitting and Hof pitching I made the switch to the OP sliders with a few tweaks like CPU contact and power th default. I tried it on 6 and could not get outs my started in two games only made through the 3rd inning. Lol. I'm just not as good as some of you and the braves staff sucks. Lol. Armor your sliders do make this game play so much like the real thing imo. The fielder speed and reaction at 3 is a game changer. Btw anyone considering going to Hof hitting from allstar it makes hitting so much better and you still will get the results you are getting on allstar.

Hall of Fame pitching is awesome with classic pitching this year (I like the randomness of my pitches especially when I don't have my ace available amd have to use a lower rated pitcher)...hall of fame batting is also good with this setup and im not the best player but even I am getting great results with the hall of fame setup.

I wasn’t a fan of HOF batting at first but I talked myself into sticking with it and I’m happy I did. Struggled for a few games getting shut out in one and only scoring one run in the other 2 until I finally broke out with an 8 run 15 hit (including 13 men left on base ugh) and lost 9-8 in 14 innings. Every time they took the lead in the top of the inning I’d either tie it or take the lead myself in the bottom. Really fun back and forth game with neither bullpen wanting to hold the lead. I’ve been scoring a majority of my runs via the home run but in this game I only hit one solo shot in the 8th inning.

Playing with the Yankees I don’t really have anyone that’s stolen base worthy. Maybe Gardner but he’s only 1 for 4 so far. I almost hate to risk an out with the middle of that order coming up.
I always contemplate using an NL team just to add the small ball aspect to the game.

Hey, Armor, or anyone, does reliever stamina affect the regaining of it between games at all? Or is it just strictly for how many pitches you can throw before getting gassed?

Yes it does. If you put a reliever in for 3 innings in one game then try pitching with him the next game he’ll only have stamina for maybe 10 pitches, then you’ll get the “______________ is getting tired”. So technically I guess the answer is both.

It doesn't have any effect in how fast the stamina/energy bar replenishes itself.

If you deplete the bar on a pitcher with 65 stamina and deplete the bar on a pitcher with a 20 stamina rating the 65 rating will replenish itself at the same rate as the 20 rating.

OK, cool. Thanks guys. I've played around with the stamina and can get guys to tire around 20 pitches. Was seeing how it could affected other areas. If any...

Hey Armour just checking. It looks like we have to go to the cpu’s Bullpen and change to “ready and waiting” again this year, correct? Not a big deal, but a little issue as I forget sometimes.

Are you still at pitch speed 5? After a few games of 4 or 5 homers and 14+ hits I have moved pitch speed up to 6. Definitely more challenging. Will take some time to adjust as I’m a bit late on some fastballs. As always, having a blast with your sliders. Thanks again

What's this about the "ready and waiting now?

And personally I use fastball speed at 9 and off-speed at 10.

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

Hey gang, couple quick questions as I've just started my Yankees franchise...

1) Are there any issues in using these w/ quick counts? (4 kids under 6; time is precious LOL)

2) Dynamic difficulty? I'm not quite sure I'm on HoF level for pitching and/or hitting, so I was thinking DD would be the best way to "fine tune" the difficulty level, while still using sliders. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance, you guys are the BEST!
