Really interested in your Baserunning and fielding Cpu sliders...
I don’t see enough Cpu aggressive baserunning, stretching singles to doubles or taking extra base at third...never see Cpu baserunners and plays at the plate just nonexistent....

How do these sliders work for Cpu baserunning?

I'd suggest playing about 10 games with them (at minimum) and see what your conclusions find. For me - this element is outstanding. I hate when fielders (infield and outfield) move to the ball at an unrealistic warp speed. The fielding is amazing, IMO. Yesterday I committed 3 errors in one game. It happens in real life. I see guys stretch hits. The reason, I think: because the speed of the runners in the field are toned down, the baserunner will be a little more aggressive. And yesterday I played a game with my 1999 file, and Kenny Lofton had 3 stolen bases (all CPU - not user) for me.

I only shared this set because it's different, and I'm having a blast with these. Not for everyone, and the beauty here is OS provides all kinds of great options. With pitching at the highest level, the All-Star level hitting does provide some advantages. BUT, with user contact at 0 - it totally changes the complexity of at-bats. A few games ago I drew a 12-pitch walk in a key at-bat. Patience was the key. I would suggest if it's too easy, then just up the cpu pitch speed coming at you.

But as far as the fielding, baserunning, steals - etc. - to me it's near perfect, and a tremendous variety.

Only thing I wish I could change is the pitch speed to match HOF. I okay with pitch speeds at 10 and All Star is just a touch too slow when you have the low 90s pitchers against you. Plus once you move to HOF difficulty the "organic" nature of AS goes out the window. Frustrating lol.

I have tried all levels. All Star hitting feels the most organic to me. I put the solid hits at 8 because of the variety, and also because of the allowance you have to get with user contact at 0. Power at 4 is perfect with this set.

Is pitching/defense harder with the latest changes you made?

I played with your sliders on MLB 19 and they were great.

I played all Spring Training and 15 games in regular season with MLB 20 and pitching seems a bit easy. My team ERA is under 3.00 and getting outs is not challenging.

Thank you for all your good work!

Been using these for several weeks - I LOVE the variety I'm getting.

If you're using these, I hope you enjoy them. There are also a number of other great slider sets here that you can choose from as well.

Just bought the game but have a problem when I'm going to the vault to find your roster and slider sets.

For the sliders, I filled in it manually but for the roster, when I put in search function by name or ID Mkharsh33, I have 0 result ???

I have to find maybe the page where they are written (also did it for the slider in date of 26th october but there was nothing). Any idea of a date for the release of your roster?

Many thanks in advance

update: I found 4 historic rosters from you but nothing more. Did you have a roster for the current season please? (if you can give me a date, so I can find the page, I don't know if it's a vault's issue)...
Or What roster do you suggest I can use with your sliders ?

Many thanks

Sliders are not in the vault - so just use the information on page 1 / post 1.

And I have those 4 roster sets in the vault: 95, 97, 98 and 99

I'm working on 1996 but really needed a break. However, I'm taking vacation from 12/7-12/14 - so I'm thinking about getting after it again and finishing that set. No promises, but I'm getting mentally prepared (LOL). Thanks for the kind words. This is a GREAT game and so much fun!

Updated page 1 / post 1 - Version 9.0 - December 17, 2020

I know I said above the previous was "final" - but when playing more games some things became obvious that took the fun away. The balance of "challenge" and "fun" can sometimes get lost in this battle of sliders. So I made some changes that still make the game challenging, but brought the "fun factor" back into things. Patience at the plate. Move your pitches around and change speeds.

Hope you enjoy them!

Re: mkharsh33 MLB The Show 20 - Directional All-Star Hitting / Meter Legend Pitching

Another update - as I've played more games I still tinker with things. page 1 / post 1 has the updated sliders and previous changes are clearly noted. If you like what you have then keep doing what you're doing. January 24, 2021. Version 10.0.

Re: mkharsh33 MLB The Show 20 - Directional All-Star Hitting / Meter Legend Pitching

Do you see enough homeruns with power at 4? I played all Spring Training with the 1993 rosters and I don't see a lot.

[mkharsh33]

Re: mkharsh33 MLB The Show 20 - Directional All-Star Hitting / Meter Legend Pitching

I would like to believe this is it - latest update is VERSION 10.5 - FEBRUARY 6, 2021

You can see the edits made to the sliders on PAGE 1 / POST 1

I am seeing some beautiful mixture with these like I've never seen before. Many of the games I was playing the CPU felt impotent at times. The player ratings really come to life with these updates. Tremendous variety.

I am seeing plenty of power on both sides. Enjoy them for what they are, and if not your flavor then there are many great sets here to choose from as well!

Re: mkharsh33 MLB The Show 20 - Directional All-Star Hitting / Meter Legend Pitching

My last 3 games with this set:

a 10-1 loss (4 hits, and the run was a solo HR)

a 5-0 win (pitcher had a complete game shutout, giving up 5 hits)

a 9-8 bases loaded walkoff base hit win - I was up 4-0 then saw it tied at 4. Hit a grandslam to to up 8-4, then saw it tied up again. At Fenway, I hit a bomb to CF over the head of the defender to the deepest part of the ballpark. There were 2 outs, and it was a 3-2 count.

I LOVE this game!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I cannot locate a PS5. So I'm kinda in a wait-and-see mode on what's going to happen in the next month on getting the next gen console. I guess we'll all see how this unfolds.
