How many K's did you get?

Eight.

Here's my little write up...

Lolol just had the most insane game with these sliders and Bacon's fictional rosters. A breakout game for my struggling offense and my starter left in the 2nd with an injury. The result... 10 home runs between the two teams lol. Won 12-9. Pretty insanity. I had previously nerfed fastball pitch speed to 4 but maybe with the power change I can try going back to 5

Threw a perfect game today with Darvish against the Cardinals. Only the second one I've ever thrown on any baseball game.

Just watched your twitch stream of this game very nice, I've only had one perfect game back on mlb 16 chris sale with the whitesox

I turned down CPU foul frequency to 2 and everything else at 5 and seeing plenty of k's. It helps them swing and miss on borderline pitches instead of fouling them off so much especially with power hitters.

I am seriously looking at this because there is one issue I am seeing consistently (on HOF) and it is grinding my gears.

CPU success on 0-2 and 1-2 counts is off the charts.

That might be the cure. Stay tuned!!

This is what’s been driving me nuts too.

It's so crazy the different results we are getting. The first 10 games in my year 3 I have been absolutely shutting down the CPU. I have only giving up 21 runs and 3 hr so far. I was giving Armor some crap watching his stream when he threw that complete game shutout about how I couldn't throw a damn shutout and I have thrown 3 since than. Lol

I lowered CPU timing to 4, foul frequency at 3. First test game was good. Maybe this is also an option to consider.

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Armor, I’ve been using your sliders for a long while now. Kudos for the amazing work over the years.

Sliders are great. I’ve also noticed a lot of 0-2 success from the CPU. I’m in game 8 of my franchise. The four game series against Anaheim saw a lot of foul balls off my ace (except Trout of all players. poor guy batted a .100 to start the season). Outside of that I’ve had some great results. Keep it up guys.

I have played a full season with the Reds every year since 1998 and have only ever pitched 1 perfect game.
It was with Johnny Cueto 4 years ago.
I had a hard time throwing strikes the last inning because my hands started shaking.
I was way too nervous that last inning for playing a video game.

On a side note.
Clayton Kershaw no hit me in last years game.
He actually hit my 27th batter or he would have had a perfect game.
it was pretty crazy.

I am going to test Foul Frequency at 2 for the CPU first. I do not want to unintentionally nerf their offense with lowering their timing.

This can be a double edged improvement allowing my top pitchers and relievers to strike out more CPU hitters on 0-2, 1-2 or induce weaker contact vs lowering their timing and weakening their offense overall.

Check out this chart below. It will give you an idea of how counts are everything in hitting success.





So you can see on 0-2 and 1-2 counts what the averages are. Well not so in my first 60 plus games of playing 19 on HOF. We need to get a handle on this. I think we will. And sometimes no question it is on me for pitch selection and location. But too often I am aiming well outside the zone and getting punished. It also has to do with the upgrade to contact hitters on 19, which is a great tune as it was needed, but it feels OP on HOF level for the CPU so we need to "slider" it down and I am confident we will.

In 2 games with CPU foul frequency at 2 I struck out 10 and 11 CPU hitters, but not at the expense of their offense. Small sample size I know but it feels pretty sweet at 2.
On a side note I have indeed finally scrapped my Rockies season. Coors Field is a nice looking stadium but it’s not fun to play there. There’s just entirely too much offense for both teams to the point where the game becomes frustrating. So I’ve decided to go with that other New York team, the one from Queens.

Funny you mention this, I just fired up a Mets chise this weekend. I didn’t realize how nice their lineup depth is. Frazier and Cespedes off the bench is solid!

Those 4 guys in the OF are tough to rotate though because I love Legares as my primary CF for his defense.

I’ll hop on the 0-2, 1-2 bandwagon as well. CPU seems to have just outstanding plate vision in these scenarios!

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 19 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

Man, I am loving this year's game. I unfortunately don't get to play as much as I would like to anymore, but this year's game feels like the iteration where I will complete a full season (never have). I started my Mets franchise 12-2, and it seemed like I was dominating every game. My run differential showed that. I literally felt invincible and I was starting to get bored playing. Now I'm 12-9 and I can't get my bats and pitchers to both play a complete game at the same time. I was afraid I wasn't going to get humbled. I just got swept by the Cardinals and pretty much got blown out each game but it felt so good haha. Before this losing streak I was number one in team ERA, team batting average, 2nd in slugging, but now the tables have turned and I love it. I finally feel vulnerable. SAMPLE SIZE. I'm not having the power/contact issues others users have had but I'm in the bottom third for strikeouts. Playing as the Mets, I feel like that should not be the case and it definitely feels like foul frequency is the culprit. As Armor mentioned though, I don't want to nerf the CPU's offense because I feel like I definitely fear them now.
