No don’t use qc but just had a 2-1 game first low scoring game. Nola v de grom felt so much smoother with the changes to sliders contact much improved

Which changes? CPU hitting with 6/5/5/5? Or are you using the 7/5/7/7 setup and had the 2-1 ball game?

What I’ve also found the cpu hasn’t tried to steal a base yet seems they are not as agressive this year

Have any of you guys tried legend default pinpoint pitching ? Is the CPU a threat?

That's odd. I thought they were too aggressive on frequency at 5. Had them try for 3rd twice and thrown out easily.

I had KC try to steal 2nd and for thrown out both times in one inning. But KC does steal a lot.

In my games so far, I have had the CPU attempt a least 1 steal per game, a couplef had multiple. Seemed OK so far, but maybe depends on what teams I have been playing.

Do you use QC?

I have been using QC as the only way I can play and saw the CPU getting reasonable hits with these sliders. Lost my last game to the CPU on a walkoff double. Really like these so far.

Idk if it’s just me. Hopefully not. But line drives seem very common. Should solid hits be down. Like to maybe 3 or 4? Trying to base sliders off real life stats. Last years line drive percentage was around 20 and ground ball was nearly 40. I see more fly outs and liners.

Been using your sliders since the 21 campaign. You guy's have done an excellent job !! Was playing on HOF using Armors sliders for yrs.up through 20. However, the game that seemed built for HOF changed and I had to swallow my pride and drop down to Allstar. Your sliders have been on point and I'm having more fun than ever playing the game. I do not use QC , so I've made a couple of tweeks to fit my game. Just saying thanks !!

One more week.



I won't be able to play on Game pass until the 28th but at least I can watch the YouTube stuff and find out about the game here on the forum.



I am considering using the Braves instead of the Mets. Might be time for a change.



Can't wait to get the first slider set from here.

Do you guys use the API? Just wondering. I tend to use it always so it feels like the catcher is calling the game?

Thanks bro. The OP is for no quick counts, actually. We are going to attempt to have cpu hitting sliders with/without the use of quick counts with QC being so different this year. Should be another great year of baseball for us!

I use it like 95-99% of the time. I'm not gonna throw a called backdoor slider when I know I can't locate it and surely I'd hit the batter if I did for example. And there are rare times catcher will call for a 3-1 breaking ball. I'm probably gonna shake that off and throw a fastball instead. I love API though and would feel lost without it.

Thanks for the feedback. I think there are too many line drives. I will have to start tracking those. We have been trying to line up the hit distribution and trying to get the CPU batting average good. I know solid hits affects pop ups vs line drives. I am not sure if we can control fly out vs groundball since we use timing/directional. Last year in my Guardians franchise the stats were below for the year.

Fly ball (MLB average 34%): 41%/37%
Line drive (MLB average 22%): 19%/23%
Ground ball (MLB average 44%): 41%/40%

We will look to see what solid hits at 4 does. It might be a good thing.

Thanks for the compliment. We appreciate it and glad that you enjoy them. We are still testing these but I think we are close.

Yeah, I would be lost without it. I probably use it 95% of the time. They did make the glove (target) so hard to see this year. And the setting is in the fielding tab under fielding aids. And you have to turn on fielding aids to use it.

I’m trying to get a set for quick counts cause I like playing with them so I can get as much games in as possible cause I have a 3 year old. So my time is limited. But playing a couple of games without it and you do appreciate the game more. It is more awarding when you come back from an 0-2 count and make it a full count and end up getting a hit. And having to get used to taking 4 pitches to get walks instead of maybe only taking 1-3 pitches.
