Not at all.

I get a great mix of grounders, line drives, absolute seeds to the gap, 450ft bombs, pop ups, little nubbers...

I love the fact that if you try and pull a ball up for a homerun (aim the stick towards 2o clock with a lefty batter) the PCI shrinks as a result of your trying to hit in a certain outcome. So you have to understand that by influencing the direction and lift of your attempt, you sacrifice the plate coverage to do so.

On top of that, trying to influence to a pull hit, if the pitch happens to drift away from the middle -in, you’ll roll over it, and ground out opposite side.

Risk reward is fantastic and I have gone entire games with no input on the direction.

Dude, you saved the game for me with this post. I was using swing influence on almost every pitch, much like I’d do in previous years with great success, but wasn’t hitting a lick. So far in the game I’m playing now I have 6 hits through the top of the 6th (2 solo homers, 2 doubles and 2 singles) but off the bat they’ve felt 100% legit with zero swing influence. One double was opposite field into the left field corner on a pitch that was low and outside that caught too much of the plate. I’m seeing better hit variety too.

Re: Stealyerface's TrueSim 2019 Slider Set is Live and in the Vault.

I love these sliders man, played a few play now games and about 7 test franchise games. One thing I like is these feel generic, I've gotten a lot of different results and variety. When I'm up i know I gotta still be on point and play good, but when I'm down and behind it still feels like there's a chance, you can comeback even if you lose, you can still be competitive.

Besides outcomes, hit variety is very nice, solo Homers, Doubles, singles, splitting the gap or bloopers it's all there. Pitching this is my first year full clean screen so no ball marker and I'm still getting use to it but feels good.

I just started my Franchise with The Tribe, was gonna wait for Hybrid Rosters but just really wanted to get going, using Rovert's Rosters, I'll let you know how it goes. How is your Franchise going man?

Gave a 5 star vote cause that's how much I've been enjoying these sliders

I am glad you are enjoying them, and thank you for the feedback.

I am still having as much fun with this game as I was on day one, and possibly, even more so, as they fixed the defensive issues from the opening product.

Every cannon I unleash from third base that gets the runner by the step it ought to, or the half step for faster runners, makes me smile. I feel as though, through testing over and over and over, I have a perfectly-orchestrated, organic representation of the real baseball game I love.

Nothing feels forced, nothing feels as though I can get finished with a baseball play, and feel like the game has cheated me, as a result of the programming, or coding.

My only real beef with the game overall is the fact that baserunners are not aggressive enough within certain situations (They all run bases like there are zero or one out). I would lover to see a tweak to the baserunning, whereby the runners with a certain speed, calculated with fielder arm strength, coupled with the speed of the hit, would create an aggressiveness quotient that would have the runner try for the extra base from time to time. As of now, they are a bit too timid, and could use a bit more leeway in trying for an extra bag.

Perhaps this could be tied in with the basecoaches, and the hiring of a guy with a windmill at third, could lead to tweaks of the coaching staff, to result in a team that is more or less aggressive. I actually really like this idea, and you could actually change the persona of your team with tendencies of the coaching staff. I expand more on this later, but you would hire coaches within the franchise, and they would have an entirely different dynamic between coaches.

Aside from that, very few issues, and I am really enjoying what this game has shaped up to be for the 2019 version.

I am happy to hear you getting much enjoyment from your own games, and thanks again for the feedback on the sliders.

I am really happy about how they shaped up this year for sure.

Gonna give these a look, I also like to watch CPU vs CPU games have these been tested in that area?

Coming from Armors sliders although there good, I rather play the game now more that let the cpu handle my movements now.

I understand that this might take out some animations but you still should see great animations when fielding. Manually.

Re: Stealyerface's TrueSim 2019 Slider Set is Live and in the Vault.

I hit way to many doubles and not enough HR's. The scores are realistic though. Through the same amount of games as in real life Acuna and Freeman have about 10 Less homers each but 20 or so more doubles. Any slider tweaks youd recommend for less doubles and more homers?

I'm going to try these out CPU vs CPU with the Bushido redux new prospect roster found in the daonlyjmo37 thread in the rosters forum. I'll post line scores to show how it looks.

Re: Stealyerface's TrueSim 2019 Slider Set is Live and in the Vault.

These sliders with the re-rated rosters, are still really fun to play with.

I was worried that when the run-speed ratings all were zeroed out at 20 for the slowest guys, it would cause some issues, but so far- everything playing perfectly to my style.

This year's game is just so good.

Re: Stealyerface's TrueSim 2019 Slider Set is Live and in the Vault.

This set is $$$$$$, even though I use MLB 15 hitting view.

Armor's is too, but there is just something about the "flow" of the games with this set that seems a tad better.

My ONLY "concern", OF'ers seem just a little bit slow. I am going to rock a couple games with field run speed at 3 just to see.

I give up so many 2B's or bloop hits (not necessary a bad thing), just trying to bring HPG down just a tad.

Regardless, i can keep the settings just the way they are on page 1 and still be ecstatic. I'm happy I found this set.

Re: Stealyerface's TrueSim 2019 Slider Set is Live and in the Vault.

Well, Stealyerface here, back again for another round of The Show, and this year's slider set is one that I am pretty stoked on.

If you had tried or played with my sliders in years past, you will remember that I am clean-screen, manual as much of everything I can play with, and try to temper the game to the most accurate, most authentic, and most true-to-life to the game as I can make it.

This includes adjusting the fielder's speed, base runner speed, arm strength, range, jump, first step, closing speed etc... to get the game to play as it would if you watched a real game.

I pour over the replays in my test games to see if a guy who should be out by just a half a step at first, indeed is out by that half a step. I make sure that a guy who slides into second on a double, does so with the ball coming back to the infield at the correct timing. I make sure that if a guy with below average speed tries to leg out a triple, he'll be out by a mile on a decent throw...

Basically, I want the game to play out as close to how it would play out in real life, as I can make it.

These sliders have over five years of testing, with the new game SDS sends out every year as the new baseline for my carryover sliders. from year to year.

As the game evolves, luckily the sliders stay pretty close, with the only real tweaking to the set, coming from wholesale changes made to the game.

******NOTE*******

I am not a tweaker. Which means that some of the sliders will be very similar to the baseline out of the box gameplay set. I play on All Star, and I do crank up the pitching level, as I want to see less pin point control from my pitchers, but within the ratings, the better pitchers are able to spot tough pitchers more accurately. As they should.

My slider set will also require you to position fielders and to pitch to that positioning. The speed being turned down will not allow you to make up for mistakes because of the game's default speeds being too high. You will need to take some time and attack the batter, learn to pitch to contact if needed, position outfielders to help them make plays, attack the zone on weaker hitters.... Basically, you are going to have to play the game as you would manage a real squad, or you are going to get shellacked.

Start up a game and swing at every pitch, don't work the counts to batter-favour, and just lollygag through a game, and you will be punished.

Conversely, if you gameplan, make charts, allow one time through the line up to make notes on batters, position your defense accordingly, and take your time, the rewards are so satisfying, it makes this year's game the most fun I have had in The Show to date.

Seriously, this game plays the best, and is the best portrayal of the authentic experience we have been given.

I am at work, and not able to access the slider set for posting on the site right this minute, but the set is live, in the vault, and I hope you guys give it a shot, and enjoy the games that come out of it.

Please give this set a good 5-10 games, and you'll see 11-9 slugfests with 5 HR's and you'll get a couple 2-0 shutouts with crazy pitching duals.

You'll see teams go cold a the plate and have to scratch for every run, and then balls will fall in and you'll catch a break.

The best compliment I can get is when you see a play, and can say that it played out just like you would see within a real game.

Look for "Stealyerface's TrueSim2019" in the vault, load em up, and have it it.

I hope you guys enjoy.
