Re: Project to decrease OF rocket arms.......

My adjustments were as follows (it makes it quick and easy):
Change ALL Outfielders:
1. Arm strength : change to 0 if original attribut is less than 90
change to 8/10 if original attribute is greater than 90
2. Arm control : change all OF to 0.

I've made these changes (it takes about 2 minutes per team) and the game plays much better. I'm using sliders that were adjusted from the PRO difficulty (which also makes a difference).

Thats great and all but the bad thing is for us guys that like to play a franchise you have to adjust every year

Re: Project to decrease OF rocket arms.......

If you guys come up with a final consensus I'm working on all attributes with a roster and will include them.

Re: Project to decrease OF rocket arms.......

The way I throw walks is to aim everything on the corners of the strike zone. Even with pitches that break, I make sure to aim it where I think the edge is. I get maybe a few walks a game but its not nearly enough. I will try the control attributes and see what I find.

read somewhere that the control attribs. didn't make any difference with control if using the payoff pitching method, i tried editing a pitcher and sure enough, no difference, supposedly it only makes control worse if you use zone pitching which i've never used before so i have no way of telling as i was all over the place anyways when trying it.

I almost did it this way as well , but I wanted to have more individuality bewtween the OF's. So I give guys a 0 that have an attribute less than 80 instead of your 90. I did the same for accy.

But anyway you want to do it similar to these will get you good results and a MUCH better game.

unlike the cpu i do use the cutoff man as i'm sure most others here do as well, what i'm wondering then is are you guys reducing your players as well or just the cpu's.

That would great if we could get a roster set with updated attributes to distribute.
I like the rating changes as follows:
All OF Arms:
Strength and Control:
If original is below 80 - change to 0
If original is between 80-90 change to 5
If original is above 90 change to 10

I think these would drastically improve gameplay. Anyone disagree with these numbers? If not, Jim416, will you be putting a roster together that can be available for download through XBox 360 Transfer Kit?

Re: Project to decrease OF rocket arms.......

Is there a fast way of changing these? Looks like they are done by clicks, not numbers. This will take a long time.

On the roster screen before you edit a player, you can press one of the bottons to look at the Attribute Number so you'll have a easier way of doing the edits.

Graphik, a few people posted there own ideas. Does anyone stand out to work the best that you know of?

I haven't tried anyone elses but DanSF49's looks real promising. I may give his a try. His arm strenght edits are the same as mine but I will also try his accuracy formula.

I'll tell you one thing thouhg, after doing some edits for OFers, it turns it into a completely new game. Much more realsitic in how you score runs for you as well as the cpu. It actually makes you start adjusting your OF positions in clutch situations.

They are listed as letters such as A-,B-,etc.., not numbers. Has anyone converted letters to numbers so we know how much to change them by?

Re: Project to decrease OF rocket arms.......

I found the right section for numbers. Disregard my last post.

I've seen that, but when you select the player and say edit, doesn't it show the slider bar without any numbers?

Or is there another way that I'm missing?

I guess I'd have to start my franchise over if I wanted to do this though. I don't think I can edit CPU players in a franchise.

Yea, on the player edit screen, its converted to a slider bar. If you check out the numbered rating beforehand, it'll make the slider bar easier to count out. I dont even like that fact that they used a slider bar.

Yea, you would have to start your franchise over. You cant edit the cpu player ratings and I dont think you're able to make a franchise or GM using all teams. It sucks but I was only 15 games into mine so its no big deal for me.
