      I am going to drop the pitch speed down to 3 on both and keep the rest of the sliders as they are on the OP
      My pitch recognition isn’t great and I think that is my biggest problem

        Guys,

        Don’t fall into a placebo trap with the last patch! The fact that I lowered timing power and solid hits should tell you right away what I experienced.

        They increased pop. Trust me.

        You are simply going through a rough stretch.

        Also tweak it back to what I had before if that feels better for you!

        Turn off all visual aides. Get rid of any feedback (noise). Play the game.

        And sometimes stepping away for a few days helps big time. Work counts more too. Get into 2-0 3-1 counts. Huge factor as well.

        Streaming game 4 vs the Red Sox soon. Looking for a split with those *******s.

        They kicked my *** last night and I lost Judge for 1-2 months.

        Ugh!!!!

            Armor I mainly lurk when I get the chance to, but wanted to say thanks for the time you put into these. This is the most fun I have had playing The Show ever.


            I had a straight up pitchers duel against the Dodgers last night. I'm the Braves, and jumped out to a top of the 1st 1 run lead. The Dodgers came up in the bottom and posted 2 runs to take the lead. Final score ATL 1 Dodgers 2. Yep the only runs scored were in the 1st. I finished with 5 hits, and the LAD with 4. The last hit of the game came in the 5th. It was a freaking blast!!! Can't say I have ever had a game play out like this one.

              I was waiting for this post. Figured it would be coming as you have had to post it for a few years now and it could not be more true. Not taking anything away from the guys that are struggling, I am struggling in spots also but the way the game plays out over the course of 162 games mimics a typical baseball season IMO. Great sliders to go along with this beauty of a game. Enjoy guys and thank you Armor!

                I know. It just feels like it's just me if I'm struggling when I see some of you scoring a ton with the exact set and I struggle. You're right though. Not everyone plays the same.

                  I get it man. I am a bit stubborn I guess. Trying to to figure out how long I should struggle before making my own adjustments lol.

                    I personally don't use the set listed on the first page. I took it and compared to what I had in my personal set from last year that I carried over. It helps me see things that may be there but that I never thought about until I read it. I may make adjustments based on what I see but see other adjustments being made here and think, is that an issue? It may be. Maybe I will tinker with it and see.

                    Plus I discovered this thread this year and that it was a nice place to discuss the game with out judgement or toxicity.

                    Make a change or two and keep plugging away. You will find your sweet spot. I guarantee it.

                      Also a slight tweak to the All-Star set. This from my friend Josh1977

                      Steal Frequency and ability back to default 5 for All-Star only.

                        This isn't slider related but maybe someone can answer. When scouting I ran out of players to scout really quickly. Well before the first year player draft. Then the draft comes along and there's a lot of players that weren't there for me to scout beforehand. Why is that?

                          So here is what I do. It should help.

                          I spend my first 4 days discovering right handed pitchers then 4 more discovering left handed. Then 3 days discovering catchers. Then 7 days for infield and 7 more for outfield. I have 2 scout per region.
                          That should leave 48 days and a huge amount of players discovered. I then spend 3 days scouting each individual prospect. With good scouts you get almost full efficiency. You can scout all of the 80 potential ones and work you way into the 75 ones and still not run short of prospects to scout.

                          Not sure if that answers your exact question but hopefully it helps.

                            I let them scout until it says they're finished with each prospect. Problem is I run out of people to scout, but when I get to the draft there's a ton of players who weren't there on the scouting screen. That's what I don't get. Why aren't they there?

                              You have to “discover”. When you start the season go to your scouts and press X. Let’s you choose position and attributes. That will then discover players of that type in your region. You can’t scout a player and also discover at the same time. So as above says, ration your time between discovery and then scouting individual players.

                                Wow! Apparently I completely missed the discovery part. So that's only at the beginning of a season?
