Two slider settings I hope SDS tweaks

[ctguy2021]

No matter what slider setting I use for both of the following, I can't seem to get them to a place that feels realistic.

Foul balls - seems like way too many...even if set to 0. I know 0 helps keeps balls down the line fair, but overall there are still too many fouls in the game.

CPU Pitch control - even set at 5, I am seeing sometimes 2 -3 guys plunked during a game. This happens not only with backend pitchers, but also with top guys. It should be a slight tweak so default gives you a hbp now and then, not every game.

I play on Allstar for both pitching and hitting. Directional hitting but usually don't move the stick. Classic pitching.

If you put cpu consistency to 6 you won’t see the constant HBP’s anymore

Spot on, control won’t help with the HBP. That’s all consistency slider.

So that's the one that needs a bit of tweaking then. Thanks...

Re: Two slider settings I hope SDS tweaks

I think there's probably more foul balls in baseball than you think. In my sliders I have gone with CPU Foul Frequency at 2 or 3 and HUM at 4. And my Foul Balls account for the most part have fallen between 22 and 33 percent of all strikes. In MLB, 28% of strikes are foul balls. There are about 50% more foul balls than there are swings and misses.

And as others have said, consistency needs to come up. I have CPU control and consistency both at 7 (with strike frequency between 2 or 3, still trying to settle on one), and I don't have too much issue with HBP for the most part. I had one game where the CPU got wild and hit 3 batters, but mostly it's been fine.

The above are all correct.

To put it simply, Consistancy is the rate at which pitches are thrown on target while Control is how on target they are.

10 control with 10 consistency allows you to throw dots and basically never throw a wild pitch.

10 control with 0 consistency has you throwing dots or losing grip on the ball and throwing it at the backstop often.

0 control and 10 consistency has you never hitting your target perfectly, but you at least find the catcher's mitt constantly.

0 control with 0 consistency is.... good luck.

Realistically, there aren't enough foul balls.

Realistically, there aren't enough foul balls.

The last 5 games I played the foul percentages were 34, 29, 38, 31, 35.

This is for total foul balls in the game.

I might be remembering wrong, but the average MLB game sees 50 foul balls in a 9-inning games.

Percentages for my last five games when I'm at bat (total foul balls/strikes): 20.8, 17.7, 23.8, 35.6, 16.7

When the CPU is at bat: 27.8, 29.9, 30.2, 31.5, 29.4.

Major League average in 2021 was 28.1, and teams ranged from 26.9-30. So far in 2022, is 27.3 league wide with a range from 24.1-30.2. So I'm actually a little low on the user side. Right now I have Human Contact at 6, timing at 5, foul at 5. CPU Contact at 5, Timing at 0, Fouls at 2.

You're dead on. So far this year the league average is 25 foul balls per team, per game. So 50 overall. Last year was 52 total.

Re: Two slider settings I hope SDS tweaks

I'm usually getting around 15-25 game per team (total, not %).
Even when I try to foul balls off I put them in play or pop them up or something.

Maybe I'm not as far off as I thought, but still would like more rather than less, I can probably slider tweak that in.

My comment was for the percentage I was seeing, not total foul balls.

Timing/contact will have more impact on fouls than foul frequency does.

As already said, consistency will have more impact on HBP.

Exactly. Foul Frequency is more of like a modifier on those sliders than it is something that works absolutely.
