S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

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

I just played my first full game with the newest set of sliders.

Gameplay was fine.

I hardly noticed the IF changes with the speed and arm strength. Which is good.

This game has definitely changed since the 1st week it came out.

IF arm strength at zero used to produce loopy throws. Now it doesn't do that. That could be due to the IF reactions being faster which I think was the issue with the infielder stuff being a little off.

The infielders are better at getting after pop ups and soft liners now.

Changes on OP still work for those of us at AS+ hitting and HOF pitching?

Yes, they do. That is where I am right now. Steve is on HOF pitching but he is on veteran+ in hitting.

We are thinking we have to lower Human Consistency. The cpu is getting hits but now they are not getting home runs. Trying to find a middle ground. I’ll play more tonight and see what I can come up with. But you can roll with the OP settings.

Yes for sure. I am locking myself in on HOF pitching with the foreseeable future. The homerun problem of not able to get them to be a realistic amount is frustrating. With power at 3 I see 3-4 warning track fly outs a game for the cpu. I just know if power was at 4 those would be homeruns more than not. I'm really unsure how to solve it.

Solid hits at 6 with power at 3 I felt was pretty good for homeruns but holy cow did the cpu feel near unstoppable a lot of times. And that was straight AS pitching.

The only thing I can think of to try is lowering consistency in order to give the cpu more pitches to possibly hit out of the ballpark. If you guys are seeing the cpu hit homeruns with the 5/3/5 setup let us know. It could just be Bryan and I. It's strange that I can hit homeruns at the most realistic clip I've ever had with human at 5/3/5. But the cpu just doesn't seem to hit enough. That is the part that is most confusing.

I use 1 consistency (meter pitching) and I would say you are correct with your suspicions, homerun rate has gone down but the CPU is still getting them off me when I hang a pitch, which happens a decent amount as I'm not perfect with the meter. I'm loving the hit variety now with the updated sliders.

Awesome to hear! Yeah I wouldn't go that low using classic pitching. I think 3 would be good to start. I just know at 5 I literally never hang a pitch, and at 4 it's extremely rare to hang one up. When I get to play again I'll try out consistency at 3 with control at 5. Thanks for the reply on this.

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

First Interleague game. This is one game I should have lost.

Mariners 1 5 1
Mets 2 5 0

Very good tough game. Mariners have a nice squad.
Marco Gonzalez has good stuff. He pitched 6 good innings. One of my runs came on a throwing error by the SS Moore in the 3rd. Mariners had bases loaded and 1 out in the 5th and I got 2 pop ups to end it.

Walker my starter lasted 8 innings due to luck and I got a LOT of early in the count outs. He had 2 BB and hit 1 batter to go with 5 K's

Mariners have a interesting team. I see why people use them. I got lucky in this one. Moore gave me a gift run.

Should be a good series.

Ive always been using 4/4 for my HOF pitching... Ive been rocked plenty of times by CPU... May have to try 3/4 now.

Yeah I mean I got beat 8-3 giving up 13 hits yesterday on HOF using control at 4 and consistency at 5. The issue is cpu not hitting any homeruns now lol. It's very sensitive slider setup cause power at 4 and it's far too many homeruns. Solid hits at 6 and power at 3 is okay but they were getting 10+ hits every game and felt unstoppable sometimes to the point I was becoming very frustrated. 3/5 is a great balance of hits just lacking homeruns.

As bigdawg was saying and my thinking is lowering consistency will help with the lack of homeruns while not interfering with the hit variety and hit distribution I see now. I'll try to get through my next series vs Houston tonight and see how it goes. They usually kick my *** so I'm not too excited to try the experiment against them first lol

Are you using classic pitching or meter?

I am back to using meter again. I am bouncing between the two.

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

So the control 5 and consistency at 3 on HOF pitching seemed to help cure the no homeruns by the cpu problem. Maybe not a fix all but Astros hit two in game one and one in game two.

Right now the game is playing out perfectly for me and I am locked in to the sliders we have now.

Game two: Mariners (6 13 0) @ Astros (4 7 0)

We are trying control at 5 and consistency at 3. Seems to work good so far. We’ll update the OP.

Well are just testing out 5/3. We won't update OP until after both of us test something for a while. More than welcome to use 5/3 yourself. If using meter I would sat to go with what bigdawg is saying with consistency at 1. Idk what he has control but start with 5 and see how it goes.
