Beta Version 0.9 May 13th, 2024
I have settled on these sliders after almost 200 hours of just testing so far this cycle. Shoutout to bryanm1982, we have bounced alot of ideas off of each other since day 1 of release. This game has a lot of potential and I really want to make sure I have my sliders locked in before starting my every pitch, of every game franchise. The CPU offense has been weak against me most of the year, until now. Which is why I'm finally ready to post these sliders. I'm still testing, mainly USER pitching sliders, just to make sure things are exactly where I want them. I will update this post when I feel things are completely locked in once I do a little more testing.
