What are you guys using for cameras and pitch speed with these?

I was hitting with Retro but switched to Wide. Pitching on broadcast.

My pitch speeds are 5/5 right now. But that is her preference.

Are we sure that CPU contact at 7 isn't creating too much offense?

Strike Zone 3, 5/5.

They are hitting about .260 against me in all my testing. You can lower it to 6 it it’s too much.

Yep we're sure, in all the games I've played so far the hitting has been just fine, definitely not overpowered.

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

We are back again for 2024......

These look like some great sliders! Thank you for your contribution!

Has anyone tried these sliders on "manage game"? Thank you.

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

I played a couple of games with these sliders and they are awesome. Great job!
Going to start my Phillies franchise tonight with them.

Thank you. Let us know how they play out and how your franchise goes. We like hearing the feedback and updates.

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 Simulation Sliders

Any good rosters you could recommend? I am not so interessted in Minors/Prospects, as I only play one full season. But maybe some more realistic ratings?
Or do you all start your Franchise with the Live Rosters?

I think I am using a roster called MLB Franchise. Another one that looks good is one from XSporty. You just want to find one that is missing the international players.

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 Simulation Sliders

First two test games played in The Show 24. My first new The Show game since 19.

Not a big sample size but here are some stats from these two games using these sliders, me playing as the Red Sox for both of these games.

Game 1 Blue Jays @ Red Sox. Game result: 0-2

Red Sox pitchers first pitch strike: 74%, 35 pitches
Blue Jays pitchers first pitch strike: 67%, 30 pitches

Both teams swung and missed only two of these first pitches and Toronto got one first pitch hit.

Red Sox got 6 hits of which 3 were doubles and the rest were singles.
7 strikeouts for Red Sox batters.
No walks.
No errors.
Two injuries, one sliding to second base and other on defense for 2B player after diving to get the ball.

Starter: Bello 7.0 IP, 6 H, 7 SO

Blue Jays got 9 hits of which 3 were doubles and the rest were singles.
8 strikeouts for Blue Jays batters.
No walks.
No errors.
No injuries.

Starter: Gausman 6.0 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 SO


Game 2 Red Sox @ Mariners. Game result: 2-7

Red Sox pitchers first pitch strike: 58%, 38 pitches

Mariners pitchers first pitch strike: 71%, 34 pitches

Red Sox swung and missed 5 of these.
Mariners swung and missed missed 3 of these.

Red Sox got 4 hits of which 1 was HR, 1 double, and the rest were singles.
13 strikeouts for Red Sox batters.
3 walks.
2 errors.
No injuries.

Starter: Bello 4.2 IP, 4 R, 2 ER, 6 H, 4 SO

Mariners got 10 hits of which 3 were HR, 2 doubles and the rest were singles.
7 strikeouts for Blue Jays batters.
3 walks.
No errors.
One injury, runner hustling to first base.

Starter: Castillo 6.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 9 SO

Are others getting similar results? Do you see something thats completely wrong? Like I said, only 2 game sample size so can't say much but it felt like 1st pitch strikes were quite high but I was playing with aces. Also against Blue Jays through 7 innings the "Google cloud stat" thing said Blue Jays had made contact over 90% of the time with my pitches when swung, this sounds quite high?

Nothing felt cheesy playing against the CPU and the gameplay had variety for example, in fielding decisions/animations and ball flights. Some pros and cons but this is already too long post to talk about those, maybe later with bigger sample size. Eagerly waiting for proper rosters to start my franchise with.

I don't think those numbers are too bad. And it is only 2 games so numbers haven't averaged out yet. Let's first look at the first pitch strikes. The MLB average is about 60-70% give or take a couple. First game, Red Sox had 74% and 58% for an average of 66%. The CPU had 67% and 71% for an average of 69%. And the CPU first pitch strikes could be influenced by the user on how often you swing at the first pitch.

So after two games, those numbers don't look too far off. I don't really know if I trust the Google cloud stats. Because I know the hard-hit rate isn't accurate cause they count foul balls. In real life, it is only balls in play. If you go to pitch analyst you should be able to see the contact rate.

That is pretty decent hit variety. The user hitting is hard to test because it depends on how well you do reading pitches and everything. I look forward to hearing how these play out after more games.

Re: S & B’s MLB 2024 Simulation Sliders

Has anyone noticed that hitting seems to be a little more difficult this year. Or maybe I just haven't gotten used to the game yet.
