Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

On top of your latest changes ( Power at 4 ) those Timing at 4 ( both Hum * CPU) are now growing on me. I see less perfect contacts & more hit variety.

Only little issue is I’ve seen my Stikeouts going up from 3-4 a game to 10-14. For now I upped my Foul Boul Freq to 6 to give me a little more chance.

Was there another slider change I missed? You mentioned HUM + CPU timing down to 4 or is that a personal change.

You're right. I've been trying to be more specific with my pitches but not this specific, thanks for the suggestions and insight. Will see how it goes.

Believe me I have had my share of struggles with pitching! The more you pitch, the more you see how it works, and the more you learn how to pitch with different types of pitchers and skill sets. And sometimes, you just get your butt handed to you. lol

What are the best roster sets to pair with these sliders?

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

In my Franchise, I play all 162 with the Mets (Legend Hitting, Legend Pitching). Currently it's the all star break and my pitching staff has some wacky rankings. 1st in ERA, 30th in K, 1st in BB, 30th in Hits/BAA, 1st in HR.

I'm really looking to increase my K and lower my BAA but also maybe increase my ERA (silly I know). I don't play too much with Sliders so I'm not sure the best ones to tinker with.

In my experience any roster works well. Just gotta find the rosters you like.

Approximately what percentage do you listen to the catcher? Or do you call 100% your own game? Does listening to the catcher most of the time give you more of a sim feel? I like to keep the game as easy as possible for me so I usually listen to the catcher about 90% if the time. But I might listen to the type of pitch but not location or vice versa. But I can throw a 2-hit shutout with this approach or I have games where I can’t get anybody out. Starting to think the catcher may not be as smart as I thought

I play on HOF with Armour’s sliders if that makes a difference

I am calling my own game for the most part. A lot more fun and a far better experience. If I make a mistake.....it's on me. I do not think API is that great at all.

It’s cool to look at his signals.....and nice when you agree with his itch suggestion. But I find myself shaking his calls off 65-70% of the time. AndI never ask nor use for the location. I do that all on my own.

It really is far more stimulating to call your own game.

It being more simulation following the catcher is pure fallacy.

Thanks Armour. Did you stop playing your 1998 Yankees? Don’t see your progress in your sig

I’ve always thought it to be reasonable to assume that the catcher (API) would have a “scouting report” on each hitter and know their strengths and weaknesses

I am on hold with that until I finish Year 4 of my 2017 Yankees franchise. Once that is done we are focusing on classic roster play through next years release.

Just wrapped up April with the Yankees, playing every pitch of every inning. Never completed a full month of doing this before #accomplished.

Sitting 24-8 so far, with the very easy opening month's schedule. Having an absolute blast, and this spreadsheet really helps immerse me in the game. Loving how the stats are looking, by way of realism. Can't thank you enough Armor for the fantastic settings!

I just played a practice 4 innings and I do like calling my own pitches. I’m going to do the exact opposite to what I was doing earlier. I’m going with API off and calling 100% of my game. You are right, it is much more stimulating than listening to the catcher 95% of the time!!

Thanks

I listen to the catcher probably 10% of the time. And it's usually late in the count after the batter fouls off a few pitches. Its like I go "okay, well what do you think I should go with?"

And if I agree I'll go with it. If I dont I'll say yeah I'm not throwing that ......

Do you keep track of the stats after each game?

I track the team stats on a spreadsheet and the pitchers. I used to do the hitters but that took too much time. And my Google Sheets became slow from all the formulas I was using. What do you use?

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

Armor, when you do Sounds of the Show, do you set the walk up songs and pitcher entrance songs?

I do but I was thinking with your year 4 Yankees you have your own universe so it would be hard to track down all your players on different teams.
