Rmiok222 MLB 24 Directional/Classic HOF Sliders

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

I'm also feeling something has changed, mostly with the contact on my side. I've been mostly using the original set but for same games I have gone with the CPU contact at 5 and power at 6. HOF hitting and Legend pitching. Man, those misses are killing me that I mentioned before. I think I have played around 10 games after the patch and I think I have hit only one home run in these and no games above 8 hits for me, mostly 5 or under.


I think everything else plays very well but the misses with good swings for me... D Of course, I should miss some of them but I've got 10 or even 15 good swings & misses in one game. CPU has had 2-4 of those per game. I tried two games with one higher contact and timing for me but didn't see any difference at least in those two games. 10 games is still small sample size but you can start to see tendencies. Before the patch I had much bigger variety in my offense with good, average and bad offense, pitching has stayed pretty much the same for me at least and there is still variety. I held Braves to just 2 runs but Nationals hit 15 times against me with 4 or 5 home runs.


Maybe 50 games in with my test franchise the Red Sox are 0.300 team. I have played maybe 15-20 of those games and simulated the rest. Worst team in batting average, strikeouts, runs, you name it. I don't want to make anything easier for me as the gamplay feels good but to at least earn balls in play with the good swings I get.


Any ideas what to do? Maybe Legend hitting for some reason? I'm using classic hitting with timing. Something in the sliders to change without affecting the gamplay in other areas as for example, foul balls have been quite balanced for me and the CPU.

I am feeling what all is saying. CPU hangs a pitch and I miss it. What I did was turn the strip frequency of the CPU to 3. ( dont worry he still hits the zone). But then I work the count. The CPU is much more inclined to throw a meatball at 3-1. and pounce on it. I am not hitting a boatload amount of home runs but I am hitting 1 more than the real reds are on this date. Also getting 8-10 hits a game is pretty normal for an MLB team. just my 2 cents

For anybody that wants to try and limit perfect or good timed user swings that result in misses.. my first thing I would change is user contact at 6. That’s the only slider that even could help that because it’s the only slider that is tied to the batters vision attribute.

The thing is, I'm working the pitchers and getting into good hitter's counts as well as bad counts. I'm definitely making them work on the mound with the counts and usually by the end of the game I have thrown less pitches. CPU almost always pulls the starting pitcher out before I do. Just yesterday I pitched 111 pitches and the CPU pitched me 132 times. I very much appreciate your tip but this isn't the case or problem for me.

I'm early it's fouled or missed, I'm late it's popped up or fouled. Then when I see the pitch well, getting that good timing on a good spot I miss it no matter what at the moment. If I get for example, 10 of those good swings and I can't get none of them in play, it feels quite odd. Like I said in one of my previous posts, at the moment I don't know what to do or when to swing. Before it felt like I was punished for bad reads & swings and rewarded for the good swings, but not every swing was a hit either. Now it's more of a gamble and you get the occasional hit here and there.

I was thinking, I will today try higher pitch speed just to see what happens. Otherwise the game really feels quite nice. For example, different kind of errors, some in tight situations which are frustrating but feel realistic as maybe the fielder had "shaky hands" in that situation. Animations are mostly really good as I'm using auto fielding and throwing.

You said you play Diamond Dynasty? I believe DD has a different set of gameplay tuning that was released in the last patch. Don't quote me. I believe it's different from playing games in franchise mode or "offline". I'm not 100% on anything since I don't play Diamond Dynasty and can't compare. Anyone know?

I only play Franchise. Not trying to complain, just sharing my experiences.

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

Maybe try legend dude. 6 contact and 6 solid hits.

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

Can someone at least really try Hum Contact 6 and Hum Solid Hits 6 on legendary. Like really try. Change the speed to your preference.bi feel like the results are extremely fair. Idk. Sorry Rmiok. This is your thread. I'll stay quiet after this if nothing changes. Thanks.

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

Maybe some of you guys just got a lemon. Is that possible lol. I've always had stretches with this game, every year, where I struggle hitting but I always know it's a me thing because I'm just not being patient enough at the plate or even when I am, I may find myself chasing too often with 2 strikes, etc. I've had those same types of stretches this year as well but anytime I'm being patient, I'm not seeing anything crazy out of the ordinary.

I just hit 4 home runs (9 total hits) in my last game, a 7-5 win by the Pirates over the Red Sox. Sure, I'll miss a great pitch to hit that I timed well here and there (no swing feedback but like others, you know when you timed it after years of playing this game), but I feel it's been a realistic amount for me. I'm hitting far more home runs this year than in past years as well (tied for 3rd in the league currently) which I typically never do. All of this using identical sliders to the OP and 21 games into my season so definitely a solid sample size.

I'm finding it far more difficult to pitch than hit personally. I've blown a bunch of games in the middle/late innings but that's been really fun and makes me look forward to the draft and building my pitching staff more than in past years where I felt untouchable on the mound too often with mid *** pitchers.

It's so interesting and odd when multiple groups of people have totally opposite experiences. Assuming everyone's being honest in their assessment of themselves that it's not them and it's the game that's different, there's gotta be some differences in settings people are using, maybe a particular hitting camera is playing differently this year, something like that right?

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

I put pitch speed 8 and 8 otherwise original set. Propably the most satisfying game I’ve had with this game. There still were misses but now I was able to put the ball more in play more with good swings. Some were outs some were hits. All other stats were quite similar which was also nice. Just one game but it felt good and balanced. 👍🏼

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

I put fastballs at 8. Off speed at 6. I want the off speed stuff to feel offspeed. Good stuff

This was something I thought during the game but wasn’t sure how low to go with the off speed slider. I might give this a go.

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

I have been using Rmiok sliders since last year and really enjoy them. I use HOF hitting with zone hitting and legend and meter pitching. Everything seems to be going well. Again I haven’t play a ton with these but it has been working so far. So if anyone who is struggling with hitting might give zone a try and see if that helps you.
What I like most is nothing is ever the same, kustvkike in really life. Some days I am on fire and then other days I seem to be way off. But vision for players does seem to matter how well a player is able to hit a pitch. Just thought I would share. Thanks again for great set.

Re: Rmiok222 MLB 24 Classic/Directional HOF/Legend Split Difficulty Sliders

This game is completely cooked for me at the moment. Whatever the hell the developers did I really hope they undo it because this game is just not fun at all for me anymore.

Yet another 10+ hit game for the computer, yet they only scored 3 runs, and I am completely incapable of getting more than 5 hits a game.

I was having such a great variety of games before they ****ed everything up.

I agree. The hitting is horrid. I'm using the Yankees and EVERYTHING is weak contact, there is NO power for either team and the timing window seems completely messed up. Worst gameplay in my opinion. I use timing on all star hitting and legend pitching and it just plays awful. The amount of times i get weak or okay contact is about 85% of the time whether its soto hitting a ball with good timing down the middle or austin wells doing the same thing.
