    hot and cold teams/dynamic difcitulty(about sliders too)

    well has anyone tryed playing a season/franchise with it on??
    i think i might try, casue i started to notice some strange things in my franchise with it OFF, seemed to me it was happening the same thing that those options ON were suppose to do...
    the test i made was a game against the white sox with the A's...the sox were coming in a hot streak,so the game starts and in the frist inning they got 2 hrs from harden from perfect spitters low and way almost out of the zone..ok, so now the test starts, i quit the game, load the franchise again, start the same game, and BOOOMMM...4 runs and 1 hr in the first inning for the sox again...so i think , ok i must just be playing bad, lets try and see what happens again...so i go and do the same thing, quit, load...and BOOOOMMM sinlge to posednick, single to iguchi, walk thome(i tried to pitch around him) and than comes konerko and belts a eye level fast ball i throw him just as a ball as i was pithcing around him....ok so now i think, man harden must be on a slump...back to quit, load...this time i choose haren to start, he had a 7 inn shoutout in his first game...so he is quite hot atm... 1st inning BOOOOMMM again! 5 runs scored with on hr by konerko in a changeup low outside the box.. now man this is really weird....i did this test, cause chavez has already 6 HR in 7 games in my franchise, everything that i make contact up in the zone with him seems to be an automatic HR evan with power at 0 or 5... my team has 19 hr leading the mlb...and thats using sliders that i test over and over again in exibiton games, problaby more than 50 games i suppose, with those sliders in exibition gamesi would have an average of 1 hr a game overall...sometimes i had 3 hrs in a game than i could go 4 games without any...so i think evan with the dynamic and hot/cold teams opitons off, the AI is working in my sliders...with sux...and pretty much explains why i can easily find many set of sliders working great in exibiiton and none working in franchise mode for an solid period...
    any thoughts?

    I know exactly what you're talking about man. I had a slider set that had been working pretty well in exhibition mode. Then I decided to start my franchise with the same sliders. I'm playing as the white sox and the first 3 game go by with out a hitch. In fact, I end up sweeping my first series against the Indians. The first game goes into extra innings, the second game I managed to steal from 'em in the bottom of the 9th, and the 3rd game I won only by a couple of runs. So for the most part these were all great games.

    Now I start off my second 3 game series against the twins. The first game is great, I ended up giving up my lead and losing, but overall a really solid game from both teams. The second game isn't as close, but it's not a blow out by any means. The twins take the 2nd game 6 - 3. Time for the 3rd game... and this is where things go wrong. 3 homers in and 5 runs in the first inning! I couldn't believe it! I didn't pitch a single home run worthy pitch. So then I think to myself that maybe it was just a fluke. Second inning comes around with two more hr's for the god damned twins. I'm pissed... so I turn of my xbox. I think I've played this same game 3 more times, quitting each time out of frustration. I was pitching great, there was just simply no way to curb their offense.

    I'm glad you made this thread tho, because I didn't know what to think of this. But now that you bring it up, it would make sense that the dynamic setting is whats causing this. I'm going to start up a new franchise tomorrow and I'll get back to ya. Let me know if you get some better results with this option turned off. Thanks.
    Now, more than ever

      Do you have both "hot and cold teams" and "dynamic difficulty" off?

        I have them both off.

        I tried to have Hot/Cold teams on, but it was absurd what the CPU teams would do. With hot teams, pitches that were in the dirt were being hit for HR's. I played 2 games against a hot team and gave up way too many HR's on good pitches. I never tried playing a cold team, but I heard it's too easy to dominate them.

          With both those options off, are you experiencing any problems?

              Nope. I haven't seen anything really odd.

              It still seems like players get hot/cold with both options off. I just faced the Dodgers yesterday and Jeff Kent tore me apart. I threw everything at him and couldn't get him out.

                  thats what i am talking about..players are getting extrem rating boost when they get hot.. i dont really care if the AI player is getting this..but its very annoying when my players get this boost, as now evan bobby crosby seems to hit HR like pujlos. not to mention shannon stwart belted 2 in the same game..

                    That's odd. I'm not sure what's happening. The minute I turned hot/cold teams off, everything worked fine and the CPU wasn't hitting ridiculous pitches for HR's. I never turned Dynamic Difficulty on. That's always been off and is what should affect the human player.

                      this must explain why I am 12 - 0 with the D-rays!!!
                      I have not played the game since I beat the Rangers 22-0 with 16 total homers in the game and Carl Crawford and Young both smacking 4 of them!!!!

                          Maybe it's in the slider settings or maybe you need to edit that player? I have power set to 5, contact at 30 and pitcher difficulty at 85 using the push button hitting method.

                          Jason Bay hit a few too many HR's right out of the gate, but has cooled off recently. I also dropped his power and HR ratings a little so I'm not sure if the ratings adjustment was the fix or he just cooled off. Probably the ratings adjustment. I think I dropped him 5 clicks on overall power and 5 on HR.

                              uhm from what u guys say..it seems like the hot and cold thing is affecting our polayers... ronny maybe is in a cold streak with his hitter, so that maybe why he cant get any HR..while me and Ironic are in the oposite situaton..where our hitter are so hot that any thing they make contact up in the zone is a automatic HR...
