S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

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

Based on feedback and looking at the percentages I am going to ride it out longer on the sliders as is and see. I am at about 49% of their runs coming via home run through 6 games with a 3-3 record

That isn’t a bad number. 40-50% is the range. What team are you using?

Using the Mariners

How are you all doing on RP stamina? I play with quick counts on and to me it seems every time I use a RP he has to sit for 2 days to be rested. If I am playing 7 games in a row without a day off almost impossible to get a RP in the game who is not already tired

I noticed that as well. That probably needs to go up to 7. User starter stamina is going back down to 5. Not getting tired fast enough.

Isn't that normal though? Real life Guardians started 7 games straight and they were talking about stretching the bullpen thin with the few extra inning games. And how they need the SP to go at least 6 innings last night, which he did. Francona himself saying this stuff.

I am liking it at 5/5 myself. You can bring in a RP without having full stamina. He just may have yellow bar after 1 or 2 outs. Probably not going to be able to pitch a RP 3 straight games though, which is realistic. Real life teams will call up fresh arms during stretches of the season when needed so it feels normal to me anyway.

Turang just absolutely mashed a grand slam for his first career HR just a few innings ago.

You’re are right about all 3 of those kids!!

Very true its an ever growing battle for me, with quick counts my starters are always tired by 7th inning so I need pen every game

Nowadays if a SP gets through 6ip that is really good. 5ip is good sadly. If they get through 7 or 8 it's pretty amazing and rare these days.

I've been testing some things for cpu offense again. They have become fairly easy to tame for me and need them to be better.

I said this to Bryan, but it's a combination of SDS never changing the cpu offensively since I started playing MLB 10. And we have learned how to pitch to that same AI over the 12 years now.

I really do not want to jump to HOF or Legend because it creates entirely different problems that, IMO, are more difficult to fix. Just in case anyone needs more cpu offense, here's what I am going with myself now. So far it's been good. Four games they have hits of 12, 12, 11, and 4. Homeruns are very low for now which is odd, but we'll see how it goes after more games.

Cpu hitting:

Contact- 9
Power- 5
Timing- 4
Foul frequency - 0
Solid hits - 5

User pitching:

Control- 0
Consistency- 2

SP/RP stamina 5/5. Cpu stamina - 6/6

Timing at 5 may work, but at 4, it is fair for hits allowed and getting Ks. Higher contact helps them not swing and miss AS MUCH, and their ability to check swing a tad better now. Cutting down the Ks for me is what I need most. The really high amount of backward Ks we can't fix, unfortunately, but we can at least tone down the swing and misses a little.

I'll keep testing this and see how it looks by end of the night. I should have a good 20 games in with those settings by then. Pitching only for one team using fast play gets me through a game in 20-25 minutes usually.

Yep. We are still testing user contact at 6 and power at 5. I’ll update the OP after playing a few more games tonight.

HOF doesn’t have the same problems as years prior. It’s basically all star this year. All star is way too easy. Pitching to the cpu feels like ok pitching in veteran. I’ve been working on a HOF set. The game plays good at default. Just a few tweaks needed, especially to beef up the cpu offense. It’s still a little too easy to pitch to them on that level too.
