S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

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

I will jump in with both feet on this. I haven’t really had a problem with where they are at. I also haven’t paid to close attention to it either.

I can say I have had a couple of starting pitchers against me get into the 8th before getting pulled. Adam Wainwright is one. Lol he owns me!!! He didn’t get sloppy before getting yanked. They were actually pretty quick at pulling him.

Yeah no doubt the stamina is really solid at 5 for SP. I think what I'm seeing is the cpu trying to get a quality start out of him so they're trying to force him through 6 innings. It's not really a manager hook problem imo, just need a little bit more stamina instead so they're not low yellow or red bar so often before the end of the 6th.

Bryan and I also do use quick counts so the pitch counts could be higher by the 6th than it is for you normally if not using quick counts.

I do not use the quick count feature, so I can see what the 1 click up on that side does for every pitch mode. I will bump up after I finish the game I’m in, and give several games to see what goes on and let y’all know.

6/6 has been a great setting for me on Stamina for all pitchers. I don't use quick counts

With the fielder speed up 1 click I swear I’m able to see the difference between a quick OF and a slower OF getting to balls. A nice touch!!!

Definitely! I actually feel I have to put in Billy Hamilton end of games for Winker now for his speed in the OF. I put him in CF and Lewis in LF end of games. Winker isn't terrible fielding but he's slow as hell lol. Buxton has ran down a couple hits to catch that I know my CF Lewis would not have got to as well. It's definitely a perfect setting imo.

I agree with you 1000% man!! I
Just noticed it a bit ago with Lorenzo Cain. He’s not the fastest in the league, but man he covers ground. I was almost sure I had extras…..NOPE he walked it down.

OP had it at 0. Is this a possible change? If so is the OP updated other than that?

I also play clean screen HOF.....does the CPU still pose a threat with power at 4 and timing so low? Some slider sets are at 5 or even 6....I'm torn on which set to use as a base....they all look good. I just like what y'all have done with fielding sliders so much

Brother you sound like I did last year right before I got addicted to this setup. Fielder speed is up to 1, and yes the AI will make you pay for mistakes on this set.

This set may not be for you, but give them a try, and I think you will be blown away at how well they play.

I’m a Armor & Sword follower, and always love his sets for any game he makes them on, but Bryan and Salsa has changed the whole game for me for the better and it was already great. It’s just one of those things…….these are my cup of tea!!

Only 10 games but the numbers are looking good with these. Cpu hitting a tad more homeruns for now but I think long term the hitting sliders are spot on.

So, shuckers to answer your question. Yes the cpu has plenty of offense. They are hitting .257 in these 10 games which is really good.

Timing is at 0 so we get a realistic amount of strikeouts vs the cpu. It has worked wonders for that. I average 8k per game vs them which is about what MLB average is on a per game basis. I have a couple SP like Flexen and Gonzales who aren't strikeout pitchers really at all.

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

speaking of outfielders.

Reds beat the Cubs 6-4 in game 2... Tommy Pham saves a 2 run homer with a leaping catch in the 9th robbing a 2 run homer which would have tied the game up. first time I have seen a home run robbing.

Fielding speed being at 0 and reaction at 1 is working I played it on default early on and it is BORING. no variety in hits every player plays the same way and the Gaps are not there. it's perfect the way it is.

the only issue I have is sometimes with the reaction being so low at 1 the auto fielders do do some dumb things and take forever to react and throw the ball or some don't even bother trying to throw a guy out at home when there would be a chance to try it because their reaction is to the point of being so low they say 'why bother' I bet that depends on the player attributes in the end though as to this.

I think most others worry about our human pitching control and consistency at 2/2. It may not be the perfect setting but it is 100x better than default imo. I average about 2 walks issued and 8k per game which are great numbers to see. The control and consistency lower is a must if you're going to use these IMO. I do use classic fade ball marker however. But even without a ball marker the 2/2 setup will be fine so long as you know how the pitch breaks naturally etc.

I have seen what you're talking about too. Not sure if it's reaction time or more of just the terrible animation the game has them in. Sometimes the OF appear to be so lazy when grabbing the ball that's right in front of them. To me it's not reaction. Reaction is their movement time from ball off the bat. It's mostly the animation, possibly ratings. Just my opinion though. I'd honestly have to play on default more to see the difference if there is any.
