Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Nope, I've had nearly the opposite experience.

Just finished a game against the Yankees where they had 3 errors. Not the norm but nice to see that it is a possibility!

2 quick adjustments to first post:

Off the Wall Ribbon - Off

When CPU goes to bullpen, put manager hook back up to 8.

Is there a way to make this load on startup by default? Same with rosters.

In previous games, I swear it did this...not this year.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

Not getting punished enough by opposing offenses. I am using HOF for both pitching and and hitting. I scored 15 runs in the first three innings playing as the Yankees against the Mets. Mets started to hit the ball more starting in the 7th inning. Final score 15-6. Total HR's for Yankees was 6 to the Mets 2. First three pitchers for Mets were missing spots and leaving hangers over the plate. I changed to Classic Pitching from Analog. More challenging but still too much control pitching. So more balls when using Classic Pitching. Both teams ended up with 13 hits a piece.

Game before that Yanks won 1-0 on a DJL solo HR. Yanks 6 hits to Mets 7.

Sounds like you should go to legend in the OP then dude! That’s what I’m about to do. I had the same issue.

I also may bump up pitch speed first. 5 is too slow.

I play on HOF with max pitch speeds, challenging for sure.

Are you seeing the opposing team hitting your pitching as well?

That depends on how well I pitch, but generally speaking I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. No complaints with the sliders.

Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

I'm a classic guy, but can't do it on Legend. I get lit up. Hell, even on analog, I do. I've stayed with analog, but had to go down to HoF. It's real out there. Let me know how you do...

Hey Mike,

Been using your sliders and Ridins rosters (V.1) for my franchise! Im 10 games in and just wanted to update on what I am seeing (obviously I need to play another 20 games at least before I touch the sliders... but hopefully this helps you with general impressions how others are seeing things). Only differences in setup is that I use pulse pitching, have hot zones turned off, and dont use 30 team control. I control every pitch of the Blue Jays. So far:

Hopefully this is useful! Let me know. If it is I will update in another 10 games. Not going to change anything yet but so far my early impressions are to maybe bring down Human pitcher control/consistency and increase CPU contact or solid hits. Maybe if I bring down the control/consistency I will walk more and have to pitch more cautiously for fear of leaving balls in the middle of the plate. Right now I am not feeling quite punished enough (except with a couple relievers who can't hit their spots at all). Otherwise offense feels pretty good. My only slight thought early on is that the baserunners are a bit too slow or the fielders have too much arm strength/accuracy as I have been thrown out on the base paths at some times that often should be a double. But again could be just early results.

2 suggestions I'd make, keeping in mind I have not seen any of your games visually:

1) Throw more balls. Throw more balls even on 3-ball counts. This alone will increase walks, increase Ks potentially, and get you into more sticky situations. I'd also NOT use pulse pitching as it's just too easy to throw strikes.

2a) Lower at least one of these:
Human Timing
Human Solid Hits

2b) Could just try bumping things up to Legend hitting.

Move to Legend for both hitting and especially pitching. Would also suggest meter pitching.
