    Re: Manage only Mode Thread

    I thought you might have done some player speed tweaking to get those singles off the wall to turn into doubles.

    Knight, that sounds good about the roster, and I agree, have ESPN, plesantly surprised about it, but will continue on with ASB.

    I feel the same way with the swing. I probably get it about 4 or 5 times a game, and I just chalk it up as a strike out.

      Re: Manage only Mode Thread

      I see your point and am starting to get used to that eyesore swing I guess. I'm taking more pitches and seeing it a little less.

      They definitely fixed the no offense on MOM. The last few games I've been putting up the runs.

      I'm still having problems with the baserunning AI and getting a single to be a single and a double a double..When I followed your adjustment suggestions I guess I went too far and I was getting too many extra base hits...so after each spring training game I continue to adjust to try and find a realistic medium.

      So...I guess I'm coming around on it somewhat.

            Ragnar;
            I'm wondering if you are doing BOTH my outfield Range and Arm edits AND Jims speed edits. I have only increased the speeds on the really slow runners...the D-,D and D+ guys...I have even scaled back my range edits a little. I did see maybe a few too many doubles. It was not enough to worry me, but I'm still tweaking just a little. Trust me...the edits will make a big difference...especially in manage only mode. Also...if you plan to use generated counts...pump up the pitcher stamina...even starting pitchers that are A+ will get tired and yanked if they are getting knocked around. I know it sounds like alot of work, but if you do your team first and then as each series comes up against an opponent...do that team and a corresponding team from the other league. It will go much easier. Stick with this game.....especially if you like manage only, you will LOVE it.

                  Re: Manage only Mode Thread

                  Thanks Knight..I did do all three arm, range, and speed and have been tweaking back and forth before each game for my team and also comparatively with the other team. So you are probably right I did go too far in the other direction.

                  I play manage only on offense and then I like to pitch with all aids off and on auto field; so I can have input on pitch location. I've been going between all-star and hall of fame level when I pitch.

                  I saw someone mention elsewhere that they thoughtthat having pitches on sim speed (the fastest) also causes the ball to get to the OF too quick and then the singles off the wall. I think that's probably true. What pitch speed do you use?

                        Actually, I never thought of that! I use fastest also...maybe using a slower speed would make some difference. Excellent thought. Thank you.

                              While the flailing swing is maddening when it happens , the stats still come out fairly well. The person who listed the comparison to a text version and not seeing it is a good way to look at it.

                              But I don't see what the big issue is with the wall hit singles... I mean, sure it's a bit frustrating, but I'm almost done with June and my Twins are leading the league in doubles, so, on the whole, it's still not far off from what I'm seeing, stat-wise.
