Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Loving 1.6 with my Tigers franchise. Been using classic pitching and it seems to really help with producing more walks compared to before when I’d have at most 1 per game.

What do you recommend for CPU bullpen management?

Haha. Wish they would merge the games. Hopefully next gen The Show fixes what it needs to become what I can be. CPU logic in every aspect of the game needs the most work.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

does anyone use these sliders with directional hitting and if so how are they?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Do you guys prefer meter or classic pitching? I like classic because it looks the best visually and better represents pitcher rating, but I like meter because I like to have some input to the outcome of the pitch instead of it being so random.

I reverted to manually entering in some injuries for guys who are on pace to throw a high number of innings. I’ll place those guys on the 15 day IL and call up someone for them. Otherwise they’d call up a position player and roll with 10/11 bullpen arms. It’s a little annoying and time consuming but I’d rather that than have bp arms making 90+ appearances with 110+ IP

I’m a meter pitcher / directional hitter. Always struggled to find a slider set that I didn’t either get destroyed or win all of the time. Started my franchise with the Blue Jays and went 21-8 with the top numbers in HR, R, H and average on offence. Top 3 in ERA and runs against. It was too easy. I swept the Red Sox and Yankees back to back and I normally wouldn’t allow more than 3 runs a game.

Decided to switch to these sliders for a month and see how it goes. I’ve only played one game, against Baltimore so far but It was one of the more exciting games so far

I went up 3-0 after the first two innings and thought nothing had changed. Velazquez settled in though and I didn’t score another run. Borucki got into trouble in the 5th but was able to get out of the inning only allowing 2 runs and qualifying for the win. The game remained at 3-2 as Font and Pannone held onto the lead.

Giles game in for the 9th. Before this game he hadn’t allowed a run and was 13/13 in saves. Walked the first two batters. Struck out Hayes. Severino grounded time Bichette who misplayed a for sure double play and was charged with an error. Next batter Ruiz hit a grand slam and went up 6-3 in the 9th. That was it. The Jays had 6 hits to Baltimore’s 5. Overall the game played very well. Will report back after I have around a month of games.

Hey Mike love the sliders so far just was wondering if these would work just as well for classic rosters?

That's entirely up to the roster creators, not the sliders.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Mike, as always the sliders are amazing and in my mind, change the game and makes me 100% comfortable buying it.
Do you suggest using these sliders for online play? I have them in my custom league now but hitting seems to be an issue, any particular reason this might be?

Just need to jack up accuracy and consistency. My sweet spot is usually between 5-7 for both. You'll still hang them, but you feel like you have more control...

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Has anyone tried these with directional hitting and classic pitching with a clean screen approach? If so what adjustments did you make if any?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Mike should the CPU hitting be turned up a bit if doing HOF instead of legend ?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Hey Mike these are the sliders that I been using for my franchise and having a blast.

There’s just few things that I had to personally fix to fit my play style.

But I wasn’t striking out enough so I’m tinkering with lower contact for me, zero timing window and a few ticks added to the velocity of the fastball and breaking pitches.

In standard legend without pci I still feel is too hard to strikeout as a hitter and my team average is a little too high. I’m also first in Homerun with the Braves by almost 10 HR and trying hard to sort that part out as well.
