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

Armour, just curious as to what you were seeing to make you adjust cpu contact back down to 5 and increase human power to 6? I play as the Yankees as well and hit 7 homers in the 4-game series against the Jays. The Jays hit 4 homers in the series with both contact and power at 6. Obviously small sample size but curious as to what you were seeing. I also issued 13 walks and struck out 39 in the series with human pitching sliders at 5. Thanks

Not going to speak directly for Armor but for me, human power to 6 with solid hits to 4 provides just a little more exit velocity I thought was lacking a little bit. Previously, I had to square up a ball perfectly to hit it with any authority. Any flyball especially that wasn't squared and tattooed just had no carry. The 4 solid hits part seems to me to help keep fly ball rates in check and still deliver good hit variety. As for the cpu contact down to 5? I think I'm in line with Armor here that the cpu had a tendency to be a touch op at times? Mainly what I mean is they had an uncanny ability to hit pitchers pitches and bad balls hard a little to often. Honestly, the previous set was good. These most recent changes have tweaked the gameplay just enough for me to say this is the best brand of baseball I've ever played. Easily since I've been playing the show. (Still have hard nostalgia for mvp 05)

Agree with you hundred percent on all you said. The cpu contact at 6 just felt so unnatural and since moving power to 6 solid hits 4 I’m finally starting to see some nice looking doubles. It’s great to have a community of guys like you and slider maker like armor that see the same things I see.

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

Version 2.0 is now on the OP

Human Power to 6
Human Solid Hits to 4
Human Pitching Control to 4
CPU Contact to 5
CPU Solid hits 4
Injuries are 8 for played games and 6 for quick manage/sim games.



I do not force anymore changes......I am very locked in here. HOF hitting and pitching.

Your current set plays great. I cant wait to see how this improvement goes! Great work Armor.

These sliders are great, get a good variety of hits. I was using default settings before hand and all I could do was hit home runs, with these you get doubles over outfielders heads, singles up the middle and even infield singles.

Gonna give these 2.0 a shot, was waiting to see when you would get "locked in" that's when I know there fully ready lol. Appreciate it bro. Only thing I'm not sure on us what roster 40 man to use, all I see on the vault osfm 40 with a different variant. Any recommendations?

I am going to check out different OSFM’s as I am not playing a new franchise (carried all my fiesta from 17) yet. I will report back.

But typically I grab the latest “official” OSFM from Ridin and make my own 40 mans and remove injured players from single A. I like everyone healthy from day 1.

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

These changes appear to help human hitting, while hurting CPU hitting. I’m not sure about that.

He also lowered human control to offset the contact being lowered. Believe me bro they work. My last three games I’ve allowed 6-5-6 runs

I already had human control at four, because if I did not I never walked anyone. I think I’m just going to leave the CPU hitting sliders alone. First game of raising human power and lowering human contact, I had 14 hits. This is something to monitor.

I'm having that same issue. Ive used OSFM 1.5 and that monkey man guys. Both have issues. I ended up yesterday spending about 4 hours fixing, moving, and adjusting players to get it playable correct. I am currently working on the OSFM one this afternoon. Again, a lot of work. I take everyone off the injury (Aball whatever) list as if everyone was starting healthy from where they should start MLB, AAA, AA etc. The rosters are horrid this year (no offense to the roster makers). The guys are there and what not, but everything is so out of place and most missing postions and generic gear.
Ive tried starting multiple franchises and the first days of the season, you get a ton of trades (most weird) of teams trying to put players to fill postions. Like, 9 SS and only 3 first baseman. Things like that. Also, a lot of SP RP mixes, starters in relief spots even though they were starters. Just silly stuff.
So long story short, and didn't mean to ramble on. After I finish OSFM, I will start a franchise with each and see which one plays better.
Armor, I am jealous actually of your carry over. I wish I didn't lose mine and I would have kept the one I recreated, because I for sure would have went back to that one. DONT lose that roster!

Ok I think maybe I better do that as well form, I know it will take a bit but I'll get it done.

Armor bro I would have brought it over but I was hearing often in twitch streams that the carry over was flawed and that some players wasn't transferring properly so I didn't do it, then I waited for ridings but seen his was only 25 man and the breakdown he gave on. The difference of 40 vs 25 so I think I'll just first key the sliders in, then get started on a set.

Thx both for the replys👍

Just a added thought, monkeyman roster update 26 does edit ratings so no minor is under 55 or something like that. He does however add correct (mostly) secondary positions and equipment. Just want to give full disclosure. I can give you more insight to OSFM tonight after I go through it thoroughly. I know a lot of secondary positions and equipment is missing.

I have found monkeymans roster to be pretty solid.
