BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

Some variety in there for sure. For more K's I would try upping pitch speed 1 as well. Also what view are you using? I tested on Fisheye and it was too easy to hit, which is what led me to Strikezone 3. The other thing I am looking at is bumping CPU contact 1 to take strikeouts down a tad.


I used the Giants in testing too and didn't see many HR's as they do not have a lot of power. I now have 6 through 5 games with the Yankees with OSFM rosters.

I am using MLB the show 15 view. I think that would be a good idea to bump up cpu contact. I’ll try that when I play next.

I might try the pitch speed up 1 and go back to 5 on solid hits.

Let me know what you find, I am going to get a quick game or 2 in at lunch

Moved CPU contact to 7 and foul frequency to 3 and will test this over a few games. First game was a 4-2 Yankee win, with Stanton driving in 3 of those on his 1st and 2nd HR's of the season. Still struck out 12, but 5 of those over the last 3 innings by that filthy Yankee pen, Chapman struck out the side in the 9th. Yankees now 3-3.


I am very happy with the offensive sliders, but may end up going back to HOF pitching as I want to play as close to default as possible.

Testing HOF for Pitching, might be the way to go, but need more samples

Game 1 4-3 win vs Orioles in 11 innings
Baltimore 3-7-0 2B-1, HR-1, BB-3, K-15

Game 2 4-2 loss vs Orioles
Baltimore 4-7-0 2B-2, HR-1, BB-6, K-7

Applied the following adjustments to OP slider for HOF pitching
Human Control-4, Human consistency-5
CPU Foul Frequency-3, CPU Solid Hits-4, all other CPU hitting sliders on default. If these prove solid over a few more games I would much rather go this route than jack up CPU control to 7 on All-Star

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

Updated OP moving to HOF pitching (AS adjustments also there if you want to stay at that level) but I really wanted to shave off a couple of CPU K's without knocking anything else out of proportion, while also staying as close to default as possible and this was the answer. I am getting some good results, which I will share as I move on with my Yankees franchise. Please share feedback if using these, the bigger the sample the better.

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

I think it is getting close with the beta set in OP

Last game vs Red Sox
Yankees 5-9-0 HR-2, BB-3, K-9 (Judge and Walker went deep)
Red Sox 4-10-1 2B-3, HR-1, BB-3, K-8
Really happy with CPU K's now and Severino started this one, had 5 K's in 6 innings. The Sox send Sale to the hill next. Current record 6-5.

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

OP is updated with "final" barring and patch damage, franchise sliders for quick counts. I am getting really good variety with HOF pitching as set, as well as All-Star hitting, but I did include HOF hitting adjustments if more of a challenge is needed.

BYU - Great to see you worked on another good set. I haven't had the time lately to tweak a good set, so I am going with yours and start from there. I too am a Quick Count player. I believe it gives a better game and you get a good variety of walks and strike outs. It also makes you a little more patient. I will let you know how I make out.

I will probably do a new modifier sheet for this year so it allows for a little more variety throughout the season. I will post that to my blog when it is done.

In the few games I have played so far I noticed that it appears the fielders are running better this year and (0) zero is not a good number like I used last year so that is good. I will keep you posted.

Thanks Coach, looking forward to your feedback. I noticed the same with runners below 4, and even saw a difference in the angles they took, so sticking with 4 speed/reaction for now.


Started a new franchise with OP sliders and OSFM 1.5 rosters. First series against the Jays.

Game 1
NYY 13-17-1
TOR 2-8-1
Yanks: 2B-3, HR-4, BB-3, K-8
Jays: 3B-1, BB-3, K-14
Outlier game here, Stroman lost pitch confidence early and Tanaka pitched as well for me as he has in the last 2 versions of this game. This lineup is capable of outbursts like this, so this didn't worry me.

Game 2
NYY 2-8-1
TOR 0-3-0
Yanks: 2B-2, BB-3, K-6
Jays: 2B-1, BB-2, K-11
Severino was filthy, great duel between him and Sanchez

Game 3
NYY 4-8-0
TOR 2-6-0
Yanks: 2B-1, HR-1, BB-3, K-4
Jays: 2B-2, HR-1, BB-4, K-6
Another good battle, Judge who homered twice in the opener gets his 3rd HR

Game 4 10 innings
NYY 6-7-0
TOR 7-16-1
Yanks: HR-1, BB-5, K-9
Jays: 2B-2, HR-2, BB-3, K-8
CC pitched well, but the Yankees pen blew a 6-3 9th inning lead on a 3 run bomb by Donaldson and Betances did his Betances thing in the 10th walking 2 and giving up a seeing eye walk off single.

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

Just had a fun game in the Yankees 2nd game of a series against the Rays, Tanaka vs Archer. Archer had a 1 hitter going into the 6th and a 2-0 lead, but the Yanks knocked him out of the box with a 7 spot, capped by a 3 run shot from Greg Bird. Aaron Judge added his 5th homer and 10th RBI in the 8th.


TB 2-4-0
NY 8-7-0
Rays: 2B-2, BB-0, K-4
Yanks: 2B-3, HR-2, BB-2, K-8


I am going to institute a house rule though and not influence hit away from the shift. It leads to too many cheap doubles, 2 of my 3 came this way. So I will just hit with no influence against the shift and let the cards fall where they may.

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

I have been playing slideritis lately. Get a couple hits I would lower something and then get weak contact I would raise it again. I decided to plug these in for 3 games tonight in my Giants franchise.

Game 1
Dodgers 9 12 0 2-2B, 2-3B, 2-HR, 3 BB, 8 K
Giants 3 9 0 3-2B, 1-HR, 3-BB, 6 K
My 3 runs and half my hits came in the 9th inning.

Game 2
Padres 3 10 0 4-2B, 2-3B, 3-BB, 4-K
Giants 0 5 0 no extra base hits, 1-BB, 0-K

Game 3
Padres 1 11 1 2-2B, 1-3B, 1-HR, 4-K
Giants 5 8 0 3-2B, 3-BB, 4-K

That's good variety outside of K's, so either pitch speed up a notch or drop foul frequency to 1 and you should add 2-3 a game.

Re: BYU 14's "Old Guy" Quick Count Sliders for the Show 18

I lowered cpu contact to 5. It feels like they are hitting everything. I am going to see if their offense gets weak. But it could also be my pitching staff.

I tried lowering timing but I couldn’t hit anything solid and kept popping up.

I would go with pitch speed then, that's why I went to 7 eventually. I have been getting plenty of K's with CPU on 6, but the Yankees have a lot of flame throwers I will try a couple of games with the Giants and see what I get. Cueto should be getting K numbers in the 7-8 range.
