    Anyone tired of messing with sliders ?

    I am. I have started my franchise 4 times now and still cant find a good game of baseball. Why cant they make a damn game play good out of the box on at least one level? Like pro or something.

    What's you biggest issue? Let's start from there...

    A secret I found out about 2K baseball back in 2005 is that the AI Skill slider has to be lowered close to 0. It's a CPU cheat slider that creates seeing-eye hits for the CPU, regardless of where you shift your IF/OF. Best to raise CPU Contact way up if need be.

        I don't mind at all. I remember the days when games didn't have sliders at all. They where either too easy or way to hard for most people.
        Thats one thing that I have always loved about 2k games is the amount of sliders. EA is the worst with sliders, strangely except for MVP which had a ton.
        Everyone plays at a different level and whats realistic to me might not seem so to you.

          The game hasn't even been out a week yet. Did you expect some kind of "slider magic" within that time?
          Afaik....in the modern era of sports games (with sliders) there hasn't been 1 game released that hasn't needed some adjustment.

          Baa is right though...you have to decrease ai skill down to 0,then start tweaking the contact slider.
          People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.

              Exactly

              I used to do sliders a few years ago for 2k and madden but it just seams i am allways stopping to do a slider and the part that bugs me most is you cant make a slider set and carry them over into your franchise so you end up tweaking sliders in your fresh franchise and before you know it your 0-3 thats what i am tired of.

                Umm why? What's the difference in increasing skill or increasing contact? They only difference is that if you increase contact, your chances of striking someone out dramatically decrease. Either one you raise you get the same effect. I'm having great results with AI skill at 100. I don't see what your problem is with it.

                  I am having great results with default pro, and i am shocked. Im seeing all these varieties in hitting. Better pitchers having better results getting. Players playing like there players, im not sure but i really am having a blast on default pro right now.

                    I think the game plays pretty well out of the box if you have the right approach, i.e., if you take each at-bat seriously. I'm not seeing enough walks from either side, but other than that I don't have any slider concerns. You might be overthinking things.

                    For instance, I played two games last night. In the first game, I was shut out and had only three hits, and the CPU had 1 run and 4 hits. The old me would have said, my god I need to tweak the sliders. But I just trusted the game and, sure enough, my next game was me winning 10-6, the teams combined for over 20 hits.

                        Have you read any of the slider threads? I ask,because there is some observations concerning this particular slider. In that it adds extra power to the cpu hitting.
                        I never said I had a problem with it....what I'm saying is,IF it turns out to be the case (adding extra power) wouldn't it be wise to adjust that down,and compensate with the hitting sliders?

                          just on regular pro, im having a lot of fun playing games with no adjustments. Sure theres some things like the cpu throws (almost)all strikes, but Im still having a good time playing. I'm new to the franchise though, so maybe its just because im not good yet.

                          I will say that i think the actual act of playing a game is way more fun than mvp 05 (which i always thought was a little overrated), Especially the pitching.

                          I just wish that i didnt have a game freeze in the 8th of a tight game, and that I couldnt figure out how to play the 2nd game of a double header. besides that kind of stuff I actually think the onfield game is pretty fun.

                            Well i restarted my chise and used pro level sliders. I only tweaked cpu strike, pickoff and upped the pitch speed some. Now i am liking the game as i won my firs one of the year in my opener vs LA 4-1 behind Cain. I had 6 hits they had 7. Big hit was Molina deep to left with 2 outs 2 on

                            Thanks for the suggestions!!!
