Sliders For Game Speed?

[econoodle]

are these sliders to slow down the overall speed of the gameplay?
seems quite a bit fast for my tastes.
thanks guys.

Re: Sliders For Game Speed?

good observation....I agree with you. The speed of this game is what is making it feel somewhat more unpolished than it is........Player movements, hitting, ball physics might appear more natural if there was a slider that globally could be adjusted to slow down the gameplay...just a bit.


Altho, now that I think of it...some animations seem natural while others seem a bit sped up.

Personally, I think the batter's entire swing motion is a bit too fast...its like they have 2x the bat speed ....almost feels like they are swinging a wiffle ball bat

Arm Velocities are far too fast and powerful

Some pickoff moves look rediculously sped up

Some of the line drives and shots to the outfield seem to travel too fast with trajectories that seem a bit to unnatural as well


However, grounders seem ok, and some of the fielding animations seem the right speed while some just look unnatural regardless of speed (for example, that silly looking 2 step bunny/crow hop outfielders do before they gun it to a base)

Perhaps some of these areas of the game would look and feel better if there was a game speed slider.....or just a tweak to these areas in a patch

You can't slow the game speed down, but something that helps with this is lowering the fielders speed for both the human and AI(mine is at 20 each). Lowering the arm strength of every mlb position player also helps, but it takes a couple hours of editing to do so which a lot of people probably don't want to do. I took 8 points off of everyone's arm strength and it seems to have done a whole lot of good.

They really need to add a global editor.

I posted this in the 2k patches/issues thread. The game plays too fast. the natural pacing of baseball is off because of this.

i have noticed ALL of what u mentioned Lisa_Bonami, the bolded parts even moreso.

I never thought bout if they needed one before, but after ur post, i think they do.
I dont have the patience.
I will try the fielders speed drop.
thank you Duke.

Re: Sliders For Game Speed?

All games should come default with a global editor IMO...

However, for this situation it would be just a band aid fix for one season only......all new players entering the league would require tweaking every season

I think they simply need a patch that either:


a. tweaks the game speed and addresses the issues I mentioned above .... or (at least)

b. add more SLIDERS that allows us to adjust ARM SPEEDS, FIELDER CATCH RADIUS, ERROR FREQUENCIES on THROWS and FIELDING (altho this still wouldnt smooth some of the unnaturally fielding animations and the wiffle ball bat swing speeds)

more good ideas Bonami.
Hopefully 2k devs are checking this out, pad and pencil nearby.

Re: Sliders For Game Speed?

Yes...thanks.


The more I play this game, the more I feel the gameplay is just awkward and is missing the mark.

I love the atmosphere, the franchise mode, accurate unis, all the stats...everything except, ...well, actually the onfield gameplay! I think it bests The Show in many areas but when it comes to gameplay...its off
