Re: S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

Aw hell, there's been some changes? lol... tbh I probably won't make any changes as what I seen last night was awesome....I mean shot's over the LF head, bloops and the all important HR's.

I feel you guys have something really great here in the V-1 set, btw that's what I downloaded from the vault.

Yep. Don’t feel like you have to change cause we changed. If it’s working great for you, then stay with it. The reason for the change was we were seeing too many extra base hits on user hitting. So we lowered power to 4 but raised contact to get more variety. Consistency raised to lower meatballs thrown to us and hopefully to help tone down the HBP.

User hitting is very subjective and mostly going to vary depending on skill level etc. Everyone will probably have different hitting sliders for the user. User timing at 0 like we use may not be good for you if you're swing and missing enough already for example.

Re: S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

Thanks for trying the sliders. We hope you enjoy them. I have just updated the OP to what we have been recently testing and feel good about.

Notable changes are:
User Contact: 6
User Power: 4
CPU Consistency: 7

Pitch speeds we normally do default but we are trying 6/6 as it seems slower this year.

Let us know if you have any questions. Enjoy.

I thought they felt slower this year. Faced Jordan Montgomery and he threw of ton of 12-6 curves. I could not hit them and was waaaaaaayyy out in front on most of them. Got me for 8 punch outs in 7IP
Most of them were that dang curveball
They register as 78MPH coming in but visually it felt like an eephus pitch the way I was swinging at it

Do you think raising pitch speed could help with my timing?

Yeah it should help. Most of my strike outs are from that pitch too. Just have to be able to keep up with fastballs. I would raise it to 6 and see if that helps. If you are still early you could go to 7.

Re: S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

I still have to apply the changes, but I think they can be useful. I hit too many HR and doubles, in general good games, but I prefer more singles.
Also CPU consistency raise might be better. Even the best pitchers sometimes pitched badly, like up in the count 0-2 and then threw 4 very bad balls, so there was no pressure for me to swing at all. Also got several HBP.

I use both pitch speeds at 10. I’m still out in front of breaking balls if I am not expecting one. But definitely helped me cut down on whiffs hahaha.

The changer make a huge difference 7 for pitching the hbp are not there !

Re: S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

I might have to go back to 5 contact 5 power, played quite a few games and every hit seems way to weak. Even Jose can barely reach the fence

Yeah we are wondering if power needs to go back to 5. With consistency at 7 that is limiting the meatballs so that might be enough.

Re: S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

Playing with 6 contact and 5 power. Playing good, no weak hits and still got the variety with 6 contact. With the cpu 7 consistency their not throwing high school pitches In the middle really helps the hbp and slows down the hr rate

Good to hear.

Are you seeing the CPU offense still dangerous?
