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

You’re playing these games in Franchise right?

Im asking because myself like the other guy is having getting Ks… Wonder if its because Im playing exhibition games?

Dont think that should matter but I definitely am not getting double digit Ks like you are.

I may have to try the CPU Contact 7/Timing 5 like Bryan mentioned.

I'll just say this....this is NOT Madden to where the gameplay is different from Play now to Franchise mode, at least imo.....lol

I have been doing all my testing outside of franchise mode and I'm also not able to generate the strikeout numbers as some of the other folks, I was however able to get 9 strikeouts with Kershaw last game (my highest total so far)

I also don't use QC and prefer to pitch every pitch, so maybe theres a difference there? hell who knows....lol All I know is the game is playing awesome for me , so no complaints from this side....

Yes. This is a test franchise save I have that's end of May currently. All testing is done within a franchise from all different points in a season. Definitely lower their contact if you need to. Plenty of room to go down lol

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

Thanks for the input fellas!

Gonna roll with what you have on the OP... I definitely trust you guys, I know you both know what you're doing... Just very frustrating for myself not being able to K hitters, I like to think I'm a pretty good classic pitcher.... But maybe I'm not! Lol

Down the road if I want to get more Ks from the CPU, just lower contact and timing?

I actually want to have trouble striking out hitters. Lol

We have done so much testing so we are familiar what happens with what slider levels do.

I guess I don’t know if it would be different on play now vs franchise. In play now, everybody is 100% energy and wouldn’t be in any “slumps” or “hit streaks”.

Just do contact only to start. Their timing is really bad to begin with. I wish I had your problem though lol. I just lost to Red Sox 10-5. They had 14 hits but also had 14Ks. It makes box scores look really unrealistic, but honestly nothing we can do about it. We get them no matter what we have tried.

Trust me, I totally get the frustration BUT what makes it more satisfying is when you DO get that all important strikeout to kill a possible big inning or keep their slugger off base.

Just another quick note....you will still get strikeouts but it's (imo) a tad bit harder...at least for me anyway

Does the sliders affect sim stats? I'm using fidelity to reality and not seeing enough walks, runs and doubles.

The sliders do not matter with simulated games or games that aren’t played. Only the cpu stamina, hook, and injury sliders matter for simulating.

So it's purely roster based

Looking at full minors 2.0 stats look good apart from too few strikeouts after simming to today's date

Yeah, it should be just ratings based.

Some people think that raising SP stamina for simulating increases strikeouts. But I don’t know if that is true or not. I tried the Fidelity rosters using CPU Stamina at 5 and hook at 10 and simulated a season. The starter innings were low and some RP had 100 appearances. Normally the good RP go about 60-70 games.

It's annoying as last year the edits they did kinda messed things up and looking at this year runs are neutered. Overall default looks to me anyway decent apart from strikeouts at a quick glance

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

Ok so the pitch speed gonna have to go up for me the guys who throw low like Woodford ect I can’t hit. Yet guys who throw hard I can.. it should be the other way around I might try it at 8 for both
