Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Looks like the rosters coming out around 9 ET. Going to rock with these and start a franchise. Looking to stream as well and rocking with these sliders as a base. Trying to play 162 full seasons streaming most of these games. Looking forward to the journey with these Mets... lol. Gonna do 30 team control with house rules. Love the work everybody putting out here appreciate y'all looking forward to the journey with y'all.

Love your sliders, but I always wondered why do we make sure the lrp is open? And what if you have no open slots to move a lrp into.

It's because the CPU teams over-utilize their LR and then under-utilize the other MR. If there are no open spots, just make sure they have someone there with decent endurance.

It might not be as bad this year, and with 26- man rosters now, might be difficult to handle.

Sliders are excellent! They are challenging but it doesn't feel unfair towards either side. Thanks for all the hard work!


This is relatively minor, but should I still move CPU Manager Hook up to 8 after they take their SP out or leave it at 5 for the whole game and only sim at 8?

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

I increased human pitch control by one, and I seem to be getting better results from meter pitching—more strikeouts, swings, and misses from my opponents.

I'm still hitting HRs at a way too high rate. This honestly could be because I'm using the Yankees who have insane power 1-9. I use zone hitting. What would be best to try and decrease HRs, up hitting to legend or decrease human power by 1?

Doesn't matter. Just make sure it's at 8 before you sim any games and/or advance to the next calendar day (as it also impacts minor leagues too).

What are your other hits looking like? What's your BABIP? Tough to say with limited info.

I have played 9 games. I have 108 hits and 36 HRs. 33% of my hits are HRs that seems insanely high.

The 2019 Yankees hit HRs 21% of their total hits over 162 games. Your sample size may still too small.

Playing on zone hitting (hall of fame). Is anyone else hitting alot of fly balls? Seems like most of my outs come from balls caught in the outfield. Otherwise these sliders are great.

Ryan that's 100% to do with your PCI placement. Sliders don't really impact flyballs much, aside from making the PCI smaller and thus less accurate.

Regardless though, you're swinging underneath too many balls. I will say, however, that being slightly underneath is what hitters today are trying to do as far as hit trajectory goes.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Welp the first two games needless to say didn't workout so well for those damn Mets. Degrom and SCherzer went toe to toe but the Mets went on to get 1 hit but Scherzer in a 1-0 loss (lol wasn't my greatest). Game 2 was another nail biter with the Mets bats still asleep searching for their first run of the season till the bottom of the 8th down 2-0. Runner on 3rd with 2 outs and who else but Yoenis Cespedes pinch hits and drives in a run for an RBI double. Later in the inning, Wilson Ramos go back to back for solo homers to take the lead and give the Mets the eventual W.

Great games back to back although it took me a while to get used to the lowered timing. The reward was that much greater with the first run coming from Cespedes. Thanks again for those sliders Lowe love the work you've been putting in.

Game 3 streaming on my Twitch at NOON ET. Come through and kick it as the Mets look to get above .500. (The chances aren't great knowing the Mets lol)

Hope everybody and their families are safe in this wild time.

P.S Lol welp I'm an OS noob and can't even post links yet but I'll be posting the link soon friends.
