S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

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

I actually get strikeouts vs the cpu on legend, the issue I find is they just don’t consistently punish mistake pitches.

Yeah, we had that problem too. Have you tried Raider Ren’s settings that he is trying? Maybe that’ll work for you.

I’ll give them a try next lol, starting to think it’s just simply the engine..

Maybe you are just this good lol

It is hard trying to find tune this game. Trying to get the cpu to score runs without it all being from home runs is difficult.

Lol I’m decent but nothing special.The cpu used to be harder a while back IMO, I make tons of mistakes and miss my spots enough that they should punish. I actually might start recording a few games and stream. Could just be my playing style

Raise cpu timing a significant amount and they will hit you a bunch. Problem is they will not strikeout much. But raising their timing imo increases their offense moreso than raising power so long contact is at least 7 or 8.

I’ll try that thanks, would you also raise solid hits to 8 along with timing and contact?

The RP stamina only affects how much of the green energy bar drains, and subsequently how many days off that RP will need. The SP stamina has an effect on that as well, but it also serves as the catalyst to how effective all of your pitchers are - starter and pen.

If you're already on 6 SP stamina and you still need more, you may need to look into increasing the CPU POW or timing. I am using clean screen, so I don't need a whole lot more from the CPU... but we'll see.

Again, you guys nailed it with this setup. Nice job fellas!

Another thing you can do is reduce SP stamina to 5, instead of increasing power. SP stamina @ 5 will get you knocked around pretty good.

Contact 8
Power 5
Timing 5
Solid hits 8.

I've been using this for cpu hitting for a long while with good success. So if you have solid hits lower than 8 you could just try what I have here first.

If 8/5/5/8 isn't enough I'd then raise cpu timing to 7 or 8 and see how it is. Again, with timing increased you're going to strike them out less. But I can promise you their offense will be much more difficult to pitch against.

You guys did a very nice job with the pitcher to batter settings. I brought in my own variation of the global sliders, which do have an effect on hit variety - they work well.

What hitting view are you using with 10/9 pitch speeds?

I use a slightly customized version of the retro cam. I zoom in so that the bottom of the screen hits the starting part of the white of the batter's box.

I was using 7/7 for pitch speeds on HOF; the 10/9 gives AS just a bit more "challenge", so-to-speak.

I'm trying pulse pitching. What number should I set my consistency on?

You can try 3 like we have to go with control at 0. But that's probably too high for anything other than classic pitching. Try it at 1 and see how it feels.

Have you guys tried control at 0 and consistency at 0 using pinpoint on legend? What are your thoughts ?

I’m not sure. I haven’t tried pinpoint at all. You probably would have to do 0 if you are good at pinpoint.
