S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

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

I think Steve and I can read the pitches better this year than last. So they might be slower? I kept it at 5. But we haven’t hit a lot. Trying to figure this pitching out. Trying default contact, power, timing and solid hits on legend. Gave up 8 runs the first game but they scored them all in 2 innings. It feels like they scored 3-4 in an inning or two and that is all. 2nd game was Mets vs Braves (Scherzer vs Strider). Strider gave up 5 runs in the 1st inning. About 3 singles in a row and a 3 run HR it seems like. Then he settled in and didn’t give up anymore and pretty much cruised the next 4 innings.

Played the Reds vs dodgers in the next one. Ended the game after 5 innings with a 1-1 score. Dodgers had 8 hits all singles.

Steve played a game Blue Jays vs Angels pitching only For both teams and blue jays won 12-0. 21 total hits and 20 singles.

We are working very hard to figure this out.

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

People talk about a “comeback code” but I’ve never seen it.

But there does seem to be “first inning code” I’ll say. Seen that a lot. Both by user and cpu. Several runs scored in the first inning then little to nothing the rest of the way.

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

Is it me or does the game feel more random than other years? I’m on default legend pitching and I’m having a wide range of outcomes. Played 4 games today. Game 1: Cole got lit up for 5 runs through 5 in 5ks . Final score 10-6 . Game 2: Rondon gave up 4 thru 6 in 4ks . Lost 11-8 Game 3: Sevy was nasty O runs 6 in. 8ks Won 5-1 Game 4 : Cortez 1 run 5 in won 4-2. 6ks.

I find it hard to dial in sliders this year bc of the randomness. Maybe its just me. I’m on Legend/Legend , the only thing I’ve changed is pitch speeds to 4.

Never thought I'd ask for this in the game. But I need more homeruns by the cpu lol. They will single you to death with occasional double. Homeruns are so rare this year right now.

For me consistency HAS to be 3 or less or I paint corners with ease. Even using classic pitching and on any difficulty. Right now we are going with control 0 and consistency at 2 on HOF pitching. Cpu hitting 7/5/10/7. Contact 8 if u need more cpu base hits.

Personally I prefer Allstar pitching and hitting as I feel that creates a PCI size relevant to actual player attributes. But the PCI size on HOF is barely noticeably larger from Allstar so I think either one would work okay.

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

I only played 2 games with sliders but yes I had most the CPU runs scored in the 4th inning both games

How exciting. It has to be hard watching people play. That is why I cave and get it early. It is the only game I buy so my wife doesn’t care if I splurge on it. She knows I play it all the time.

We have hit a bit of a wall on Allstar. What we have been seeing at the beginning with the 6/5/5/5 or 5/6/5/4 set up now it just seems off. We are able to locate our pitches too easily and it seems the cpu scores their runs all in one inning. So we are back testing the 7/5/5/7 set up on Allstar.

Have any of you seeing what we are seeing?

You will love the game. I played a game between the Braves and Mets and the announcers had so many conversations and storylines.

I got the sliders dialed and I am playing.

I can tell already they have tinkered with some stuff.

I am liking it so far.

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

Just when I was worried about blow ours I get that 1-0 loss and a 2-1 frustrating loss to dodgers leaving runners on base

I have now complete all 15 opening day games managed to do that all in early access so happy about that.. after those 2 low scoring games I’m
Happy now as o know variety is gonna happen!

Now to March 31st lol but need a break!! I’ve played every single pitch so far not simmed one moment I love knowing all the stats were created by me .

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

I am in the 4th inning of a 0-0 spring training game against the Phillies and Verlander has already thrown 58 pitches.

Yeah the sliders are 100 percent dialed in correct.
I made a couple personal adjustments but that's it.
A 100 percent competitive baseball simulation.
You have to work to get outs.

Verlander already has a walk and a hit batter.

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

More feedback.

I just lost a 6 inning spring training game 2-1 to the Phillies. The CPU doesn't make a distinction and plays every game like it is Game 7 of the WS so it was a tough game.

The last out was a screaming line drive right at the RF with 2 men on. Smh.

Verlander threw 107 pitches through 5 innings. That is high but I would expect that since the Phillies are the NL Champs. A good lineup should be a challenge. He did have 10 K's though but I earned every one. It was not easy and I did lose the game.

What settings did you adjust for yourself? We are struggling to find a settting. When they hit the ball hard it is a hard single or line drive out. When we throw a hanger they are early on it and miss it.

I changed the User Pitcher Stamina to 8 because with CPU contact at 7 you will throw a lot more pitches. Just to make it fair I increased the CPU stamina to 8 also so I wouldn't have an unfair advantage.

I put User Control at 4 also.

Then for batting User Timing is also at 4.

That is pretty much it. The rest of the sliders are the same as what you have.

The only other difference is that I use meter pitching which may be why the results for me are different. With meter you have games where you dominate and have games where you have to throw a ton of pitches just to keep your neck above water.

The more pitches you actually have to throw the more likely you will mess up and that the CPU will jump on it.

I would recommend trying meter.

Testing some stuff pitching only if anyone wants to check it out.

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

I think we finally found a breakthrough. After several hours of testing last night we tried something this morning and it is working. Now we have to fine tune it. We should be able to lock the pitching sliders in by today and will work on hitting. Hitting SHOULD be easier than getting the pitching lined up. We have hit some and what we been using worked good. Just want to fine tune it some.

We should version 1 up by opening day!
