S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

That is true. I like being ahead of the real life schedule. I used to like watching Mike Lowe's streams. He used to follow along the real life schedule. If I did that, I would have to have a 2nd franchise so I can play more lol

I usually do a Phillies follow the real schedule franchise (Simulating games if I fall behind) and then I also usually have either a 2nd Franchise going where i focus on transactions rather than gameplay with a different team.

That is not a bad idea. At least that way you get through seasons faster on the 2nd franchise without losing any game play experience.

Another thing about 25 that is a bonus is the stadium atmosphere. The Mets home stadium has a TOTALLY different vibe than the road. It is kind of startling to see the difference in the environments.

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

It is so nice that they have fixed the groundball single to RF and the crowd chanting all the time. Now I can enjoy the game. Just waiting for them to fix the mountains in Dodgers Stadium. They look horrible. Also heard that Truist Park is bad too.

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

What is the reasoning behind baserunner speed and infielder arm strength only at 3 for each? only asking because im using the Reds in my franchise and have Elly who is rated 99 in both and I dont want that nerfed at all LOL

Sliders playing great so far though thanks for all you do!

We put that there to limit the infield singles. And lowered infield throwing strength was to match that. And you can still beat out double plays.

In other years, if we had baserunning speed higher, we would see the runners make crazy decisions on trying for a double when it is a easy single and be thrown out by a mile. So with the lower baserunning speed, they don't do that. But they are still aggressive.

If you are seeing things you do not like with that, you can always just bump both of them up 1 or 2.

Speed will still be a huge factor. Plenty of doubles and triples still. Now on the game will Elly tag from 2nd and make it home like he's capable of irl? Probably not lol

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

4 game win streak and a early season 2 game lead.

The CPU is out hitting me but I am winning because the Mets have power and I get out to early leads and I survive when the CPU starts getting back in the game.

So far everything is working right for me. But there is a long way to go in the season.

I think they maybe to many fly balls solid hits may have to go to 5 I’m just seeing so many compared to line drives

That is something we can look into. We lowered it to 3 because we were seeing too many homeruns.

Red Sox just had 12 hits and four of them were doubles. Three of those four were liners on the gap.

Re: S & B's MLB 2025 Simulation Sliders

All is playing well on my end. Excellent job as always.

The White Sox franchise is going as expected. We absolutely suck and only have 3-4 bright spots and Louis Robert’s is not one of them. Really enjoying it though. When you have a game where you actually stay in the game even it is a loss it is rewarding.
