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

I am 5-4 with the Yankees and we went to Houston for a 3 game series. The first game was Verlander vs Severino. It was scoreless til the 4th inning when Bird hit a 3 run homer. The score was 3-0 until the bottom of the 9th when the Astros scored a run from 3 straight singles against Chapman. Who is struggling early with a 8.50 era with a blown save already. The Yankees win 3-1. But I’m glad that this game played out like it was supposed to with the pitchers duel. I have been hitting too easily lately. My team battering average was .312 with my BABIP over .380 in the first 9 games. So I’m glad that I was able to struggle against a good pitcher.

I struck out 10 and walked none. So it was nice to see some K’s by my staff. I struck out 13 times and had a swing and miss rate of 50%. But had 9 hits in the game.

Playing as the Yanks also and like you I was hitting the cover off of the ball going into that Houston series and was able to get a 2-1 victory against the Astros. Up until this point I have not had any big injuries and my hitting was great as I mentioned but my pitching was awful. Since then I have played 4 games, 2 against Houston and 2 against The White Sox and everything has gone to sh**. Lost all 4 games and have only managed to score 10 runs in those games combined. My hitting has gone in the tank, I have had a few injuries to Sanchez, Torres, Paxton and now Happ. Nothing more than a few days for these guys and the only thing that has gone right for me is that my pitching has come around as that is my only bright spot at the moment. Using exact OP sliders and am now 5-9. It really sounds like I am not having fun but I really am, this is baseball and it feels awesome. I have had chances to score I just have not been able to get that big hit. Enjoy guys , hopefully better times are coming , its a long season and I fully expect to turn it around.

I've been using your setup for some time, and I just had the longest/grindiest/persistent inning I've ever had in my 13 year history with this game, and in only the 2nd game of my new franchise I started yesterday!

Not sure if video feedback of these sliders is encouraged, or if I should share in a highlight thread or elsewhere, hell maybe it's not even worth posting haha

But I just had a leadoff inning using the HOF set with 7/7 pitch speed and it lasted 40 minutes in real time and I shattered my record of pitches faced in an inning. Anybody else have an inning like this before?

I just struck out 18 Twins in a 10 inning game, 12 by deGrom as he left after 8 innings trailing 2-1. I tied it in the bottom of the 8th, stranded the winning run at third with 2 outs in the 9th, and lost in the 10th no thanks to Conforto playing a fly ball like it was a live hand grenade.

I think the OP set is golden.

If you want every game to be the same or win every game, the OP is not your set. If you want baseball - see OP. [emoji16][emoji106]

Yep we've just about hit perfection. I've made some minor tweaks for my preferences (OF arm at 6, starter stam at 6, reliver stam at 4, CPU hook at 4 while starter in and 6 when its bullpen time). These are easily the best sliders out there right now and I'm having so much fun with the game. I'm not quite at the point where I can turn ball cursor off while pitching (using classic fade), but all other clean screen elements make this game so gorgeous.

I think I have locked in on these sliders. I went to classic on when pitching but now I’m back with trail on. I feel that I can aim out of the zone better with the trail on. And I can get more strikeouts and walks that way. These sliders are as close as real baseball you are going to get.

Interesting tidbit for everyone. I've played about 60 franchise games using these sliders all on All-star hitting and pitching. I've mostly struggled. I've now played 2 straight on HOF. Won one and lost one, but the interesting part is I felt way more comfortable and confident. My biggest issue has been hitting on All-star. These two games hitting actually felt way better. Maybe I'm just weird and easier difficulty is actually harder for me 😂. I was also able to go deeper with my starters which has been a huge issue on All-star.

Jesus 55 pitches I love it talk about being patient

PSA - Patch incoming tomorrow morning, just in case any of you have found your happy place and don't want to update - there are some gameplay changes coming in this one, and they seem to be aimed at reducing offense (<s>especially line drives</s>).

Edit: Ignore the line drive bit - that's a Diamond Dynasty change only. There is a reduced swing timing window though, which could lead to more strikeouts, and that seems to be a global change.

And 5 minutes before this I had just finished my opening day game where Foltynewicz threw a CGSO against me where I barely managed 3 singles, so I immediately had to redeem myself, even though I got some beneficial calls on the knees haha

You made any adjustments or you kept the Same sliders from Armor ?

The only changes I've made from Armor's (which I made almost immediately after the first set was released) is that I have Starter Stamina at 6 not 5 because I think this gets more realistic total pitch numbers, and Manager Hook at 4 not 5 so you get fewer occurances of their starter being pulled after 5 or 6 innings when he's got a 5H 1R game.

Also I have Wind at 6 not 5 so that I can feel like every game I have to decide whether to play singles and small ball or try to play for power when hitting, and with pitching if the wind is going out I keep the ball lower and don't use as many fastballs but throw high heat liberally with it blowing into the park heavily. It adds more variety game to game for me and in my video I got really lucky because the wind was blowing 9MPH in from CF so the two homers I got just barely scraped over the fence when they would've cleared the fence by a few rows if the wind slider was at 5.

I know that isn't everyone's cup of tea but I enjoy the added layer of strategy to keep the repetitiveness as low as possible.

Ok...I did my public service in testing the Spring Training CPU sub bug with this new patch and posted the fix in the thread.

My next public service message is telling all of you......stay the **** out of the patch thread now. It will get ridiculous in there with placebo BS all day and night.

Stick around here. I will be playing and can almost assure you gameplay will be fine if not even better.

Stay away from the rabbit hole folks.
