S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

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

Does hum pitch stamina really play a part on cpu hitting ?

There is a theory that cpu plate approach changes if you change user stamina. Not exactly sure how their approach is believed to change though. No real way to know that IMO, and I have never seen any evidence of it personally. As far as I can tell the cpu swings or takes pitches the same exact way regardless of sliders or difficulty level.

Well I take that back. For some reason this year I noticed when cpu contact was at 5 they took a very noticeable high amount of backward Ks. In 5 innings I had 9ks, with 7 of those caught looking. Restarted same game with raised contact to 6 and it was better. At 7 it's even better, and so on. This is the first year I ever noticed anything like that. Very very odd.

You been running with the 7/6/7/0/4 right ?

Yes. Just have to ignore all the strikeouts. Cpu offense is very balanced on this setup in regards to amount of hits, power, and hit distribution.

With the sim sliders do you keep everything default and just change pitching or you keep everything how it is ?

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

Will OP be updated to reflect the change to 7/6/7/0/4?

Also, I’ve noticed (unsure if it’s Fidelity rosters), but my Strikeout No’s (which were already on the high side, probably due to bad judgement and me chasing too many pitches) have inflated seriously. My AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS numbers are all looking good, I’m just sticking out way too much. What adjustments could you recommend?

Cheers!

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

I'm starting to believe something has changed with the hitting. The amount of hits I'm now getting has increased and the CPU hitting has also increased.

My hitting sliders:

USER
6 contact
6 power
0 timing
5 foul freq.
4 solid hits

CPU
8 contact
6 power
7 timing
5 foul freq.
4 solid hits


edit: I'm through 5 innings (Brewers) playing the Astros and I have 11 runs and 16 hits lol

You can keep the simulated sliders at default except for the CPU SP and RP Stamina, hook, injuries, and trade slider. But the game play sliders do not matter.

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

I know the lack of walks have been a problem for this game for quite awhile. I have problems drawing walks and giving up walks. I try to pitch outside the strike zone but the CPU seems to swing at bad pitches.
What sliders could I change to give up and draw walks without messing up other portions of the game. Thanks

You could raise timing to 1 or 2 and see how that goes. It will make you have contact when you are early on those breaking balls. Or what you could do is raise offspeed pitch by 1. That will help with your timing a little. A little unconventional but it will help and some people on here use that.

Or lower the pitch speed so you can read the pitches better.

I’ll update the OP with the new settings.

We are going down to user contact at 5 cause we get too many hits as well. CPU contact going down to 7. CPU contact at 6 probably would work as well but we felt it to be a little too easy at times.

The 7/6/7/0/4 set up is for the CPU.

User set up is 5/6/0/5/4

OP will be updated.

Are you using classic with user control and consistency at 3/2?

You could go down to 2/2 and see how that works.

For hitting, I would probably start with cpu control and consistency at 5/5. That will get you more walks.

I was using sliders on first page before update. I will try 2/2 for user and 5/5 for CPU. I will also make other changes recommended earlier to increase my batting average. Other than walks and my low batting average great sliders.

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

The OP is updated. Some changes to note.

User contact lowered to get less hits on user hitting. We were seeing too high batting averages.

CPU contact lowered to 7. We were seeing the CPU go crazy on hitting with it at 9. You’ll probably see a few more strikeouts but the hits feel more realistic.

CPU foul frequency to 0. This doesn’t give them more foul balls but it will make the line drives down the line to be fair instead of foul. This is something you can leave at 5 if you want. At 0, it probably give the CPU 1 or 2 more hits.

CPU control and consistency at 5/7. You will get more walks. The HBP isn’t bad but you’ll see them. But it will even out at the end. I feel like they come in bunches and then you won’t see them for a few games.
