S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

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

Hey guy's ! Great job on the sliders... Been playing a test franchise using the Live roster that came out with Tatis Jr. I'm playing every pitch and everything is playing very well. The only change I've made was to put Fld. speed @ 3 with Reaction still @ 5. Defense playing silky smooth...

The hit distribution for your offense looks good. Just need to lower the batting average. What team are you using and what level of difficulty are you at? With those numbers you should be pretty high.

Yankees. I turned on dynamic so hitting I am veteran plus and pitching rookie plus.

I would raise the dynamic slider all the way to 10 if you haven’t already. That way it will bump up faster and your numbers should balance out when you get closer to Allstar.

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

Ok thanks. I will give it a go. And check back after another 20 games.

Still haven't been able to play as many games as I would like. Once I finally get rolling the games are going to start going by fast.

Do you guys know if the “plus” ranges in dynamic difficulty actually make a difference? I tried pitching on legend vs legend plus and I don’t feel much difference. I wonder if it’s does anything?

Steve tested out the PCI size of each difficulty and the changes between plus and the "base" is very minimal. So you probably wouldn't see much of a difference between them.

SDS really needs to adjust its difficulty settings. I know we are still on Allstar with bumped up sliders but there are many using Legend the past couple of years. 3-4 years ago pitching with classic with Legend Difficulty was unheard of. Or they need to separate them more. I think they added two easier difficulties last year...can't remember what they are called.

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

Yeah the only thing changing difficulty does is change the PCI size. If you drop to Veteran or lower hitting the pitch speed will be super slow. But other than that, PCI size is literally the only thing that changes. Nothing else under the hood or whatever. However between regular difficulty and the + of same difficulty the size difference is so minimal you can barely even see it.

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

I've been following this thread (lurking?) for a while now. Completely contrary to what I've been saying for a month, now I'm having issues with this game that I wasn't having before.

Using classic pitching, the CPU has been acting strangely and I can't put my finger on why. I have NEVER been a slider guy. For 21 and 22 I was on AS+ for hitting and pitching (default sliders, classic, directional) and never had to mess with any sliders.

So for the past month playing the CPU, my pitching staff is WAY overpowering the CPU, and my staff for the most part sucks and should be terrible. I just played a game against SD and literally shut them down by just throwing fastballs down the middle over and over and not even aiming.

I want pitching to be stressful. I have pitchers that are literally painting corners at will. CPU hitters that don't swing at strike 1 down the middle, don't swing at strike 2 down the middle, and then swing and miss at a slider out of the zone strike 3.

I have no problem with how my hitting has been going, its the pitching that concerns me. And I am trying not to jump to conclusions too quickly, but my SF rebuild franchise hasn't been as fun as it should be because the team's pitching has been WAY too dominant.

So I'm considering my options that's why I'm lurking on your thread. LOL.

I feel you. That is what we experience when we go on default. You probably either have to bump up sliders or go to Legend. I don't even think HOF would even make a big difference.

I know these are way out of the box for you especially since you are used to default. But plug these in and try them. You might be surprised.

I have been playing a Dodger franchise and have played 12 games so far. I have actually tried our sliders and have played 3 games using our sliders and using RMIOK's pitching sliders on Legend. Which are closer to default. And honestly, the games feel the same to me. So what we have is similar to default Legend.

When we did our latest testing...we tested CPU contact at 6 and the CPU hitters would not swing at strikes and would have so many called strike 3 calls.

I will give these a try later tonight and see what happens. I know I need to test them over a period of time and not just one game. But I'll keep following what you guys are doing. I really have never had this issue before and I see that some guys on OS are saying they aren't having any issues, and I was even saying that a few weeks ago.

Last night I tried default sliders on legend using meter pitching, and the result was MUCH better. Mistakes were getting punished and pitcher control was not nearly as predictable..... So that made me wonder if the issue is with classic pitching?????

I really dont want to stick with meter pitching I don't really like using the meter.

I know Rmiok uses classic pitching on Legend so maybe try Classic on Legend. I think you saw the difference because you were on Legend and not just because it was meter. You'll probably see the same thing if you used meter on Allstar. Probably even worse cause the meter would be slower on Allstar, correct?

I’ve tried some extreme adjustments on legend pitching. I zeroed out my control and consistency using pinpoint, and pushed cpu timing to 10 and they still struggle. I’ve even tried contact and power at 6 with timing at 10.. yes pinpoint might be more effective than classic, but I miss my spots consistently and they go unpunished they just don’t feel threatening
