Mike Lowe MLB The Show '18 Sliders

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '18 Sliders

Hey Mike,

I've heard these sliders will still produce similar outcomes with Directional Hitting (if moved down to HOF level?)

Do you think classic pitching instead of meter will produce similar results and if so, moving to HOF as well?

Thanks,
Dowie

I would think so. The pitching and hitting mechanics don't impact the outcome itself, just the feel of it all.

I am a classic and directional player....yes, these settings work with those interfaces...Pitching - I keep on Legend and move control and consistency to 2. I do not use any aids and go with a clean screen. This produces the 'unintentional' walks we all want replicated as in real life. Hitting - I am on HOF with contact, power and solid hits at default. I lowered foul and timing to 3 to help produce the strikeouts and swings and misses. I am basically using a mix of the two best slider makers in the business.....Mr Armor and Mr Mike Lowe. I am still deciding if I am going to move pitching consistency and control to 1 or 0. I am also watching closely if I need to move human hitting foul and timing down one or two clicks as well. I start my Cubs Franchise tonight and will let these settings go for the first 10 games (twice thru the rotation) before I think of changing anything.

Mike...great sliders. Have you toyed with the idea of moving CPU contact to default? I tried it and noticed a significant drop in CPU swing and misses. I am going to keep it at 4 right now but I was curious if you had considered this change at some point as well.

Yes, this is the top candidate for a slider adjustment. The reason I'm not at the moment is that I'm still getting a realistic % of misses per swing from the AI, even if some of them aren't so pretty looking. I wish we had a 4.5 for that slider!

Maybe a future patch would make up the difference. By the way, not anticipating any issues with patch 1.07 which released today.

I have a little room to improve this by lowering my control and consistency (my settings a cpl posts before this one). I do feel like they are THIS close to as perfect as can be expected.

Not sure for directional, but it's working so well on meter with both at 0, that I'd consider converting

Quick question. Would directional
Hitting and classic pitching work just as well? I’ve been using the other legend sliders in this forum and I’m not seeing any offense from the computer. Thank you for responding back and letting me know if those two
Options work just as good with your sliders

In my opinion I think changing the sets just gives you a different feel I’ve tried other options hitting and pitching and I just feel it’s strictly your choice preference

I'm a directional/classic player and I wrote a little about this a few posts up

Pitch Speed. Feels slow at 5 compared to out of the box pitch speed in 17’. I did update to 1.06 but still seems slow. What do you guys think and are you rolling with 5 speed for both?

This is probably off topic but I have injuries for franchise on Manuel. I go to disable list to edit and injury and I can’t figure out how? Any help would be appreciated
