Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 Simulation Sliders

I would say it would still work the same. Do you check if you have injuries set to on and not manual or off? Just checking. I think injuries are more of a hit or miss. You'll go without some and then all of a sudden you get a lot at one time.

After I posted this I literally got my first one on April 1st lol. Starter had a bruised hand and is out a couple days. So I've confirmed it at least works, might raise the slider a bit if I still don't see any for a while.

That is up to you. If you are on April 1st, I guess that is only 3-4 games. So that is up to you if you would like to see more or less.

Is it still recommended to raise SP stamina up by ten in each series?

I do not do that, but I've heard it works pretty well if using QC. Personally I now play with cpu SP stamina slider at 9 and user at 7. Still rare to see anyone go past 5ip. Went 7ip with Hunter Greene and he was about done on stamina. 113 pitches or so but you really just have to ignore that if you're using quick counts.

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 HOF Simulation Sliders

HOF version 3 is set for me. I've been getting some tremendous games, lots of variety. Honestly probably most fun playing I've had in the series, and I'm flying through season one of Reds franchise. Currently 29-25 record, and I believe 2.5gb of 1st place Pirates. Cardinals in 2nd a couple games ahead of me, and we are set to play a 3 game series next.

Here is a photo of what my numbers look like after 37 games played (I only play first and last game of series). Now, not all 37 games were using version 3, 25-30 of them definitely were. Can kinda ignore user stats as I've adjusted more than cpu side, but I think I found my spot. Hitting is so personalized so hard to say what will work for someone. My BABIP is high cause I personally strike out too much lol.

Thanks for the info. I dont do QC and am usually patient at bat so the CPU SP is sometimes up to 50 pitches by the 3rd.

Yeah, with QC, they and myself as well are nearly always 50+ by 3ip. Just one of those changes they made starting last year that was very unnecessary and caused pitch counts to inflate super high.

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 Simulation Sliders

Still following this thread, and finally got around to going ahead and "biting the bullet" and input the V3 set, I also downloaded Cycloniac's rosters and was able to get a few games in here and there, and all I gotta say is DAMN!! the game plays amazingly well.

I STILL haven't started my Dodger franchise yet though, as that damn DD has a serious hold on me...lol I never got into playing conquest but find myself playing that almost nonstop and grinding for cards...I finally finished up grinding for Bellinger...gotta break away from DD and get my franchise started though...lol

Just wanted to pop in and say great job on V3, and hopefully you are done "tinkering"...lmao

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 Simulation Sliders

This is the least amount of "slider-itis" I've ever had with an MLB The Show game. The game, and this set are playing really well. I'm seeing more variety in games than I've ever seen before. Yesterday I got shutout 3-0 with only 2 hits and today I blow out the CPU 10-2.

I feel like pitcher confidence and hot and cold streaks really affect how a player preforms this year. More so than in past years.

I agree the variety has been off the charts good honestly. Final scores of my last 10 games: 7-3, 6-3, 2-1, 7-4, 6-4, 5-4, 7-3, 1-0, 1-0, and 9-5. Love I had two back to back 1-0 games to know it is possible to have those games.

I think pitcher confidence changed this year with how less effected it is by a base hit, homerun, or strikeouts. Years past, at least to me it seemed like the confidence meter would rise full way too fast. This year it looks like it is slower to rise. Could just be me. Could just be the balance of the game is that good where it does always feel realistic when confidence is full.

Your assessment of the pitcher confidence feels right. I feel like in past years the first 2 innings determined how the game was going to go. If a starter pitched well their confidence would be almost full and they would dominate the rest of the game. This years feels like you can still get to them even if they are cruising a long.

I also feel like in years past I would get so many games where there was scoring in the first couple innings and then a pitcher would settle in and it would be difficult to score runs in the middle innings until you got to the bullpen. I haven't seen many games like that this year. My line scores seem a lot more varied.

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 Simulation Sliders

Just wanted to give an update. I have been using the HOF V3.0 set and they are playing very well. I am kind of running different franchises before I settle on one. Been doing a Braves franchise and just started a Dodgers franchise this weekend. But I really want to do an Orioles franchise as my official one tht I keep stats with.

I hope everybody is having fun with the game. Let us know if you have any questions.

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 HOF Simulation Sliders

is anyone getting injuries in their franchise? I just hit the end of April (smallish sample size, I know) but I have not had a single injury happen in a simmed game. in played games I've had maybe 3 where someone got hurt, had to be removed from the game, but was fine the next day.

I have upped the injury slider for simmed games to 9 and that does not appear to had any impact. Just curious if anyone has is having better luck. I'm starting to wonder if it's because I had injuries set to manual for Spring Training so that I could manually set guys to the IL to match opening day? but I've checked and the injury option is back to on

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 HOF Simulation Sliders

one addition I wanted to make, these sliders are playing fantastic for me so far. I'm getting a variety of games from high scoring slugfests, to 2-1 pitchers duels. so hats off to the team for what has been a super enjoyable experience to this point. I just need to figure out how to get some injuries to shake the league up a little
