S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

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

He said he used default sliders. But these should work with our current sliders. If not, even better.

I did update the OP for both setups. Thank you so much for testing this out for us.

Got it, thanks!

Yea I really like the STA sliders you have in the OP, think that's what I'm gonna run with.

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

So we need to edit every RP to max 29 stamina right? Simple enough. And no actual long relief guy in the bullpen either? That will make setting this up way faster compared to what I was doing.

Thanks, bigdawg! Now just trying to get this equipment edit roster done to restart a franchise.

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

Is anyone else having issues with their outfielders getting terrible reads on every fly ball/line drive? Always taking a step the wrong direction and the ball ends up over their head. I don’t understand how this happens so much…

I think they said that they will do that if they are bad fielders. But I haven’t seen it a lot like that.

My outfield with Benintendi, Robert Jr, and Colas has this happen on nearly every ball hit to them. As I’m writing this, I just gave up two runs to a ball hit barely over the LF’s head that he hesitated on, then slowly jogged back, reached up and completely missed by about 10 feet. This is my second game in a row now with this issue :/

I use the fidelity to reality roster, if that makes any difference in terms of player ratings. But do I need to change the fielder reaction slider to compensate at this point? It never happens to the CPU so I feel like increasing that would only make it harder for me on offense.

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

My outfielders sometimes take a long time to get reads on balls but they are just mostly average fielders.

That is the main weakness of the Mets.

It happens to my backup SS too.

It is tough to say. I would maybe try an exhibition game with the live rosters to see if you still see that as much. Or another team. What are their reaction ratings? You could raise reaction and see if it will help. It would make the CPU fielders better too though.

You can always just raise their reaction ratings and see if that would help.

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

I am still a little confused on bullpen setup. I have setup the CPU's bullpen according to examples on page 1. All the bullpen pitchers have stamina in the 20s but no more than 29. The closing pitchers have stamina at least 29 or a little above.
Should all the bullpen pitchers all have stamina of 29 or can some have less stamina?
Thanks

They don’t have to have all stamina at 29. Bigdawg said it shouldn’t be any higher than 29.

Ok thanks. I am having a great time with these sliders.

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

Ok thanks. I am having a great time with these sliders.

The issues arise when there is a RP with a far greater stamina than the others. So if one RP is 32 and all the others are 20 then the guy with 32 will be used more, simply because his stamina recovers faster. 3-4 stamina rating points don't make that big of a difference. I say under 30 because most rosters have relievers around 25-27. I'm making a 90s franchise stars roster and I am setting all relievers to 30, because in the 90s u were more likely to get 2-3 innings from your reliever. But because they all have the same stamina, it won't affect their usage. If that makes sense.

Max Fried is the best pitcher I have seen so far this year. I only got some hits off him when he finally tired out. He pitched into the 9th with like 120 pitches.

Impossible to hit. He has a 73 mph curve ball that looks just like a fastball when it leaves his hand. I wind up swinging right over the top of it every single time. He has a compact direct motion where the ball is coming directly out at you. You can guess breaking ball and still swing right over it.

He is a left hander and my LH lineup is weaker than my RH lineup.

He was hitting corners with precision and the ump was giving him the calls so it was rough going for me during this game.

Scherzer started but was ineffective giving up 5 runs over 6 innings.

This is one of those games where you remember you have 162 to play so don't get caught up on one game.

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

Anything that can be done to make baserunners more aggressive? I get plays like this pretty frequently where the runner takes too long to start advancing to the next base. The play below is with Trae Turner, 99 overall baserunning aggressiveness. The only sliders I see relate to spead and stealing ability

I do not think any sliders would work on that. I think he was waiting to see if the ball went through. Speed or stealing ability wouldn’t make Turner go any earlier.

If you feel the runners should be faster you could raise speed up but raise IF Arm by one as well. IF Arm should be one below baserunner speed.
