Yeah man I can’t see myself doing that either. But I have such a stacked team and want to make sure I can keep fried sorkia and Anderson for my future when it is time to resign those guys. It just has me thinking about life without Freddie.

If you play it smart on the way you structure your contracts you can keep them all. Freddie has earned it, he deserves to retire as a Brave. Plus Travis is getting up in age as well, and you don't really want to put your faith in Camargo for full time duties do you? lol

He is right. You know my Yankees chise. We have Arenado, Judge, Harper, Bird and Trea Turner all under contract.

Now we are going to lose some pitching after year 5 (Corbin, Chapman). But we have young guys waiting in the wings from the drafts over the last 4 seasons.

Really analyze your future budget, your system, the effects of front loading and back loading. You can figure out some ways to keep your core.

This is the beauty of going deep into your franchise.

Not a slider question. I was just wondering if you had a certain audio settings setup armor.

Do you plan on making 2021 sliders?

He isn't getting 21...at least not anytime soon..

Not at all.

I am hard passing MLB 21.

Hopefully they blow me away to bring me back on 22.....but I am actually seriously doubting that as well.

I love MLB 20.

Gotta love the extra inning rule. Just got back from a week+ trip so finally got the new game and fired up my first game, a NYM @ NYY exhibition. Put these sliders on to see how they played. Not bad at all. Not sure if there's anything that would make them play differently this year, but one thing I noticed was that I would have good timing on a good pitch and hit a soft lineout that the 2B or SS would catch almost at the ground.

Definitely notice the different bat sounds this year that I have read about so maybe that made it feel like I was making weaker contact too.

Pretty good, low scoring game until extras came. Stanton solo HR in 2nd, Mets got to Taillon for 1 run on 3 straight singles in the 6th before Wilson finished the inning without more damage. Stanton another go ahead solo HR in bottom 8th to make it 2-1. Chapman got killed by an Odor throwing error on the first batter or otherwise wouldve closed it out. Sac bunt, groundout for 2nd out, then bloop single allowed Mets to tie it before Chapman got the 3rd out on a CF fly.

A lot of back and forth and coming from behind once extras started. Was down 4-3 after 10 and tied it, then Loaisiga walked home 2 bases loaded runs in the 11th to put us in a 5-3 hole. Bottom 11th, Torres led off with a double but Stanton at 2nd couldn't score since LF almost caught it so had to hold up. Urshela followed with a RBI groundout to make it 5-4. Sanchez doubles off the wall to tie it and advances to 3rd on Odor groundout to first. With 2 outs, Frazier beats out a ground ball in the SS/3B hole to bring Sanchez home and win it.

5/11/0 for the Mets, who struck out 9 times and walked 6
6/9/1 for the Yanks, struck out 12 times and walked 4

Pretty average game stat wise and feel good about using these sliders for this year's game. I'll make any minor adjustments after a larger sample size. Always like to start with an exhibition, but time to get into Franchise.

Here's Fraziers walk-off IF single

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

Big issue so far has been foul balls and/or weak contact (foul or IF popups, slow rollers, and more whiffs too this year it seems) on good timing swings on good pitches to hit.

Armor not sure if you're aware, but on 21 in Practice Mode you can customize what pitches and where in the zone the pitcher will throw. I have Aaron Judge up against Mets RP Jacob Barnes throwing only fastballs down the middle. Well over 50% of swings result in fouling the ball back.

Was wondering if you (or anyone else in here) thinks it would be as simple as lowering foul frequency to 4, or maybe upping solid hits and/or power up to 5?

Foul frequency is unlikely the culprit. Even if it were (due to the invisible PCI placement in directional) turning it down would just turn those foul offs into whiffs.

Power is definitely not it. It only effects bat exit velocities ceilings, which does have a knock on effect of impacting the bell curve, but has very little impact on launch angles.

So you're looking at one of five possibilities.

1. You might just be unlucky in the small sample size you have.

2. Solid hits needs to be raised. Take a look at the general launch angles.

3. Timing needs to be raised. Take a look at success rates between vision and k/9.

4. CPU pitcher consistency needs to be lowered. Take a look at bat exit velocity averages and general quality of pitch movement out of opposing pitchers, particularly on pitches past their top three.

5. Contact needs to be raised. I listed this last because this slider controls too many things at once and is something you really don't want to mess with unless you have to. Take a look at bat exit velocity floors, ease of check swing, and H/9 vs contact success rates.

Going to try solid hits on 5 for a little while and see. What makes me not think it's a sample size issue and more fundamental is that on practice mode with only fastballs down the middle I was fouling back at least 6 out of 10. I turned on swing feedback too and had good timing on most of them so that's why I don't think it's timing either.

Timing can impact even ideally timed swings. It's more of a vision vs k/9 thing. It actually only has minimal impact on your ideal timing window (that's rolled into the contact slider), though it does have a much larger impact on slightly mistimed pitches (just early, late, etc).

I would agree though based on your symptoms it's not the first thing I would change.

What's your control situation? Who is pitching to who in practice mode, and what are their attributes. Don't need them all, but knowing the contact vs h/9 and vision vs k/9 of your control situation could help me focus in on what the problem might be.

Is there ant feedback about these working on 2021? For some reason I can't search the forums. I am sure its been asked many times but there is so many pages to go through.

I couldn't agree more. Quick question, I just noticed Mikeyo918’s 30 Team Control Sponsership Method and Approach, what should I do if I don't have all the sponsorships listed, for example I don't have Diamond $25k Win, and its expensive to buy, I don't really have any stubs, can I substitute a Gold $20K
Win that I do have ?

They worked well when I was using them. Recently I’ve been using Rmiok’s because he’s on 21 as well, but I choose his sliders because they were closest to Armor’s.
