S & B’s Directional/Classic MLB 23 Sliders

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

From my Braves franchise.

Wright went 9 full innings on 94 pitches with only THREE STRIKEOUTS...his slurve and sinker were working like magic.

My two runs were 2 solo HR by Acuna. THATS IT for the game.

I have contact at 7 and my timing at 3 and still can't hit very well after the last update.

We are trying lower at 5. Try that.

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

So I should lower user contact to 5 instead of using 7?

As for the CPU are you guys still using 10 for CPU contact and timing?

Sorry If I am little late to the conversation on this stuff. I have 4 days off from work so I am going to play a ton of games.

No you should raise user power to 5. So 7/5/0/5/5 is what we are using for user hitting.

For the pitching, that will work but you just give up so many hits. I am testing legend pitching right now with the below settings.

User Control: 2
Consistency: 5
CPU Contact: 8
CPU Power: 4
CPU Timing: 10
CPU solid hits: 5

Once we finally get everything calibrated correctly SDS changes things and you have to figure out how to to make everything work all over again.

1st place Angels took 2/3, we turn the page to Seattle. A 3 game set getting underway from Safeco. Got a camera too boys. Lots of stones in the fire on my YT page, podcast, all sorts of sports entrepreneurial endeavors cooking rn. Would mean the world for y’all baseball junkies to give me a follow and come chat in the stream whenever

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

Here is some feedback:

I am having some good tough games against the CPU. Very even gameplay where the games could have gone either way. Is it just me or has it gotten a LOT harder to get hits with runners on base now? After the update my hitting is finally coming along but with runners on base it has become almost impossible to get a big hit.

In my last game I lost 3-2 and left THIRTEEN runners on base. Maybe that was just one of hell of a game because baseball can be like that. Plus the CPU left did leave 8 runners on themselves.

The CPU pitching is also now a LOT better. They hit the corners with a lot of accuracy. It is a real test of your batting eye. I think the CPU pitchers are just a little too good now. They do not seem to have much margin of error any more. You do not seem to get a lot good pitches to look at.

In fact there is not much margin for error for the ENTIRE game anymore. you have to be precise with your batting pitching and fielding. The pressure is on you to make the right plays.

You can try to lower cpu consistency to 5. We are trying that as well.

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

Another excellent game. The sliders are pretty much dialed in. I may have some minor adjustments to make but the gameplay is for the most part balanced.

I won this game because of good managing. When Strider started losing it I hurry up and got him out of there. I also turned 4 double plays.

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

Still working on a few things with the sliders. So far hitting, we are really liking the set up below on Allstar. For pitching, it is really hard to control the CPU with contact at 10. They just keep finding holes and getting hits. If you put power at 3, it helps but everything is weak. Testing some more tonight.

User Hitting
Contact: 7
Power: 4
Timing: 0
Foul: 5
Solid Hits: 5

I played a couple games with these hitting sliders (I admit, I did lower CPU Pitcher Consistency to 6 too) and am having great results. I'm seeing the most variety in runs I've seen since I started playing this year. I've had games where I got shut out and games where I've scored 12 runs. I'm also finally seeing HRs from guys that aren't my big power guys which was a struggle for me before. I think you're onto something here.

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

I still CANNOT hit. I just tried to play a game couldn't not do ANYTHING offensively.

I don't know if it is because of SDS or if my copy of the game is somehow messed up.

I increased the the user timing to 5 as a test. THAT ALONE SHOULD HAVE ME CRUSHING PITCHES. I still cannot get any offense. When I crush one it dies at the warning track so I can't even hit balls out.

I don't know if something is wrong with the engine or what. I can tell after a few innings that I am going to lose. The CPU will score a couple early runs and I won't be a able to generate anything from the start.

If my timing is at 5 I should be hitting if NOTHING else. That is WAY above the threshold required for good contact anyone on this thread can tell you that.

It might just be a slump. Are you using user contact 7, power 5, solid hits 5?

Glad you are enjoying them. I think contact at 7 opens up the offense and variety of hits.

I had this going on a couple of weeks ago. I just ended up bumping up the timing to 6 or 7 until I came out of it. The downside of increased timing is that it seems to result in more weaker contact. But when you make good contact you really rip them.

Yes I have been using that for days.
