S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

Re: S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

Are you using dynamic difficulty for hitting? I'd try that first. If you jump up to legend and still are killing it then I'd raise or lower pitch speed. Raising consistency would only get them to throw more strikes consistently. You will lose some of your walks you get.

My guess is that you have a good eye hitting. What camera angle do you use? I'd suggest Fish Eye or Fish Eye 2. If you are using something zoomed in like I see online players use then that's gonna make a huge difference with reading pitches.

I mean I also lead the league in strikeouts. Lead the league in strikeouts and walks lol. Crazy stuff. The slugging%, runs scored, XBHs, and batting average are all very good though!

I'm not on dynamic, I'm on HOF.

Is this Joey Gallo? Lol interesting how you lead in walks and strikeouts and at the same time have a .253 team average. That probably will even out over time though.

I'd try dynamic difficulty and see where that takes you. Also one last thing. You are hitting only so that allows your mind to focus only on hitting every game. I bet anything if you pitched too your hitting would level out cause you wouldn't be solely focused on hitting. I can tell you that after pitching only for all these test games recently I am going to be absolutely terrible hitting when I go back to that lol.

Haha true. It's funny, I get like 2 BBs, followed by Ks so my runs scored arent crazy high. I will try dynamic diff, play 15-20 games and report back.

The wins, difficulty of winning, runs, and all that are very natural though which is what I want more than anything.

How do these play regarding simulating a franchise mode season?

Re: S & B's Directional/Classic/Quick Counts MLB 22 Sliders

Here is the data from 10 games played using OP settings. Pitching only so this is me facing 702AB. Basically like 20 full games vs cpu hitting doing it this way.

Overall stats, thanks to Bryan doing the math and this spreadsheet btw.

.276 avg .318 BABIP. 1B- 67% 2B- 19% 3B- 1% HR- 13%

The hit distribution percentages are spot on almost perfect of what we want. Batting average is a bit high which is why the percentage for singles is a tad high as well. Working hard to try and get less singles. Lowering IF fielding errors has already made a difference in the few games played. Last year with errors at 10 it created bobbles by the IF but not scored as errors.

We didn't see bobbles and things this year with it at 10 so I was thinking we're good at 10 this year. Well instead of creating bobbles it creates other things like more knock downs from dives instead of clean picks. Shallow pops that were tough catches to be fair would bounce off gloves. The same bouncing off gloves happen in the OF too on tough awkward like catch attempts. Those created the extra singles we want to get rid of. Never going to be perfect but we want to try our best.

The strikeouts and walks are there. Cpu offense is very good and if you're not careful can really put up some hits and runs. One game for example the Phillies had 21 hits vs me. Many times I've given up 12+ hits in a game.

Just wanted to share this data so everyone can see what we're looking at. I love testing and figuring out how to get the data we want so doing all this is fun for me. I get to play the game afterall. And I know when we are locked on a set that I can play my franchise and never worry about settings.

They should do pretty well. We don’t have different sliders for sim games except for manager hook and stamina to try to make the pitching and bullpen usage better. We just did a test sim using these sliders. The Dodgers had a batting average of .263. 60% singles.

We have to work on stolen bases. We seen too many during the sim. Too many complete games as well but that might be impossible. We simmed with manager hook at 10 and stamina at 5.

Lmao!!! Guys it’s going to be a very very long season with the Pirates. It’s going to be fun, but the pitching staff is in real need, and we need someone to provide some pop.

I wouldn’t mind trying the Pirates out. But do they really have any exciting prospects coming up? You can trade Brian Anderson for a pretty good haul of prospects to your liking.

At least with the Mariners they are going to be a fun young team.

That is in the plans as the season goes towards trade deadline. O’Neal Cruz is really the only thing we have to build with at the moment.

Re: S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

We are lowering SP Stamina to 0 and raising manager hook to 10 for sim games.

We just simmed a season and we had 40 complete games. In real life in 2021, there were 29 complete games. So this is as close as we are going to get. Which is still good.

Yeah SP stamina at 0 with hook at 10 is what we'll have. It surprisingly lowered the CG total by a lot! As for the stolen bases in sims I don't think there is a fix for that. Royals are just going to finish with close to 170 and it is what it is lol

I figure if I can make a few right moves roster wise during this terrible season I may be able to at least see the light at the end of the tunnel shining through.
