Highcompact all your numbers look great except for that extremely low user walks. What type of pitching are you using?

I use Classic, all my settings are the same as OP except pitch speed.

First 10-15 games were on analog so that started them out slowly, but it's also just the nature of the game that missed pitches tend to miss over the plate than off it for whatever reason. They are climbing back into normalcy slowly tho.

But thank you for the insight and breaking down the numbers for me.

I'll second this. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the feedback as well. VERY helpful.

Hey Armor, nice stats so far. Very comparable to my numbers that I posted a couple pages back after 23 games. We both have a higher batting average and low strikeouts. I see you are averaging 4.9 per game and I’m averaging 5.8 per game. Are you worried about that or you just going with it? I have had a couple nice members give me some suggestions and ideas like increasing the pitch speed. But after getting used to 4/5 it’s an adjustment and I’m almost always late on a 92 mph fast ball.

Rolling with it as I am having amazing games, variety and the numbers over 162 will revert to the mean. Been doing this so long and playing this game forever.

last night I was blanked by Danny Salazar.......oh the hot and cold streaks are alive and well in this game.

Enjoy.

Hell of a slider set. I’m using the Rays and I’m performing exactly as I should through the end of April.

I am currently sitting at 11-12.

The pitching staff is top ten in the league. The offense is close to the bottom in everything.

I plan on playing all 162 with the rays. Just curious if anyone else is playing with the rays. If so how is the statistics lining up for you so far.

Thank you!

Just curious...what would lowering foul frequency to 1 or 2 do? Would that give me more strikeouts?

Quick question on what you guys are seeing. I play every pitch of every game. Injury slider at 8. I have plenty during sim with injury slider on 6. I have yet to see a single injury during a game. Have I just been lucky through 18 games?

Game 2 last night was a much tighter affair. A good performance from both bullpens after early runs for both teams. The Rays had a bases loaded chance late but the Astros held on to win 5-4.

They will go home to Minute Maid with an opportunity to sweep the series and move on to the ALCS.

Game 3 will be live in a few minutes.

So Game 3 didn’t go so well as we were held to 1 run on 4 hits and lost 4-1. Then also played Game 4 and again the bats were quiet with identical production (just 1 run on 4 hits) this time in a 6-1 loss and so the road team has won every game of the series so far. Tampa Bay now get to go home for the deciding game 5 and have all the momentum.

Need our bats to wake up and be more like they were in the first game and a half of the series.

Its not really about pace its that you just shattered a long-standing MLB record in the first month of the season. While there is nothing wrong with that, and its not entirely impossible, as eventually that record will probably be broken in real MLB at some point, it should get pointed out, if you are looking for realism at all.

But the point is any time you break any MLB team record in any stat caregory, especially within the first month of playing, it should, at the very minimum, throw a red flag/caution light up on your settings. It doesnt mean you have to immediately make a bunch of changes, but its something to definitely keep an eye on. The sliders themselves can be great sliders, but a person's skill and style makes a difference too. That's why we can individually make tweaks to the sliders...

Of course some people dont really mind the stats, as long as the game is fun, which is perfectly fine, the point is to enjoy it. If thats the case, then the big numbers are perfectly fine even if they did keep up that pace. Everyone's preferences are different.

Most people like when others give their honest take on how their stats are looking, at least i do.

Until next time

My use of the word 'clowns' was definitely taken in a different way than I intended. I meant it loosely and jokingly, so I certainly was not expecting people to be offended or think it was any personal attack.

But I totally understand that it can be really hard to tell what someone's tone and intent with words is through text/writing or whatever you would call this.

My point was that although it's possible that I should make it harder for me somehow, I would definitely not rush to change any of sliders or settings based off of just one month, and try to let a larger sample size play out and see how it goes.

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

I just had a crazy game. I lost 13-11 in 13 innings against the Astros. I was down 6-2 in the 5th and scored 2 runs in the 6th and 7th to tie the game at 6. Score held to the 9th when the Yankees hit back to back to back solo HR with Gardner, Judge, and Stanton to take a 9-6 lead. Chapman blows his 3rd save of this young season. Infield single, single to CF and a walk and Altuve hits a 2 out bases clearing double to tie the game. Chapman’s ERA after this game is 7.20. In the 11th inning, Sanchez hit a 2 run HR to take a 11-9 lead. Robertson cane in for the save and he blew the save giving up a 2 run HR to Bregman. Yankees lost in the 13th with a walk off 2 run HR by Bregman’s 3rd HR of the game.

Sabathia and Montgomery are struggling with ERA over 5.50. I’m considering trying to go for Matt Harvey for some pitching help. He’s in the minors with the Mets.

All your sliders as in page one? Still not seeing the cpu generate much offensive threat and wondered whether I've just got a good staff?!
