S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

I'm sure most here have tested the current set far more than I have. I'm curious, would it be detrimental to set fielder speed to three like BR speed is? I ask because, it seems that both being three would bring some balance? But like I said, I'm not in a position to comment as I've only played about six games so far. I'm guessing some of you would have a quick response to this question.

Also, I'm really enjoying the slider set. Thank you.

The fielder speed mostly affects the extra base hits and how fast the fielders get to the ball. We have the infield throwing power at 3 to balance the baserunning speed.

I have updated the OP with our card system modifier. Coach Mod used to do these and in MLB 22 I started using them and we got Armor to use them as well. We are both using them now. It is another layer of excitement. You have your work cut out for yourself if you are facing a ace on the mound and you pull a card with contact -1 or CPU Control +1.

Here it is. Let me know if you have any questions.

If you use 30 team control and would like to implement bullpen games, you can. Before the game, I think you cans switch the controller to the CPU team, select a bullpen pitcher you want to use...then go back and switch the controller back to your team and that should stick. I'll have to check when I get home. If not, just go to their pitching rotation screen and switch them out. But you'll have to switch it back after the game.

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

Wanted to share my hitting sliders I've been using that are working for me. HOF difficulty. Just in case anyone is looking for something different to try for their hitting.

Contact 6
Power 4
Timing 5
Foul frequency 5
Solid hits 4

Fastball speed 4
Off speed speed 5

If you have a PlayStation portal I have found to hit on there just lower pitch speeds one to adjust for that very minute lag you'll have on the portal. So for me fastball is 3, off speed is at 4. That allowed me to hit similar to the console on my TV.

I spun a wheel and the Blue Jays were the choice for a franchise. This year without QC I will be playing every game using the custom game settings. I have it on low so I play quite a bit unless it's a major blowout. Really loving that so far with already 14 games in the season.

Wow, glad I stumbled upon this card modifier system what a game changer. Quick question about the chart is speed, baserunner speed or pitch speed?

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

Game 1 victory!!

Senga tosses a 89 pitch complete game.
Lindor and Soto both hit home runs.

Season off to a good start.

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

An area I’m struggling stats wise is errors. I tried multiple games with cranking up errors to 10 and honestly not seeing more errors than default 5.

A bit the same with in game injuries….previous years at 8 was the sweet spot but this year even at 10 it seems toned down.

Would like to hear what you experimented on errors and injuries.

Sorry. It is baserunner speed. Glad you enjoy them.

Sadly, errors has always been tough. It seems to not matter what slider setting it is. We see a bit of fielding errors with it on 7 so we kept it on there. If you put IF throwing errors at 10 you will get the errant throws more often.

Interesting pre patch the offence was crazy I was having 5-0 comebacks and 9-5 games since post patch using the exact same sliders I’ve had about 6 games that have gone 1-0 2.0 1-0 1/0 6-0 I’ve been on the winning and losing end of all

I’m thinking a lot of this is to do with better bp logic , I don’t know I can’t pin point it, but the bp being fixed is huge it’s stopping ridiculous comebacks by me. But ok seeing both sides offence dry up. Since the patch

I haven’t seen anything drastic yet. I think hitting might be a tad bit harder but it could just be my timing. It could be the BP logic with them not bringing the same RP in all the time and coming in tired. I just had a 8-7 game with the Nationals/Blue Jays game.

Brother enjoy the Jays!!! My Chi Sox franchise year 1 is going to be rough!!! I will stick it out no problem. I’m 46 almost 47 and can remember the days it didn’t matter really who you were eventually you were going to kill the cpu. Do not mind losing at all. The fun will be the building.

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

The CPU hit better than me in this game. The Mets are the number one power team in the game and I hit multiple homers.

My pitchers struggled during this game. The CPU kept hitting. The Astros have a good lineup. Sliders definitely are good.

Off to a good start this season. This team could go far.
