Instead of clogging up the 2017 roster thread, I thought I would start up a new thread for any discussions pertaining to other aspects of the mlb2k13 game or others in the series.
Any thoughts, reactions, boxscores, game recaps, ideas or any discussion at all is encouraged here. I want a place to discuss sliders and post reactions to games anyone has played.
EDIT - ADDING MY SLIDERS TO THE FRONT PAGE
Here are my sim-style sliders. My attempt is to get a slowed down version that looks and feels like the real thing. Base runner speed and Throwing Speeds are what drive these sliders. I had moved slightly too low on throw speeds and wasn't getting the proper trajectory so I had to come back to just below default throw speeds in the OF and bumped up INF throw speed as well. I still see a few too many double play in my opinion. But, I have seen that throughout this game on every slider variation I have played.
Classic swing is fun to use. 80 pitch speed keeps the balls coming off the bat realistically and coupled with 80 contact 100 power for CPU Batting, 10 pitcher control for user, the challenge is still there to shut down opposing hitters. I just played a game using Paxton versus the A's and Paxton was getting a lot of swings and misses, but gave up quite a few hits and one big rally sent him to the showers after 5 innings against a team that he should dominate most of the time. 25 CPU strike zone tendency allows me to be more selective at the plate and work the count more to get the pitch counts higher for the CPU.
These sliders are used in conjunction with the Range attribute edited roster I made. All players have their Range attribute lowered by 25 points. This has stopped the crazy snags of line drives by sprinting out of control infielders. What I read about the Range attribute basically said that the number is correlated to the size of radius the player "thinks" he can get to. Reduced down by 25, but not too much has allowed the fielders to react appropriately. Those with poor range now are severely hampered in their ability to field their position! I am loving this find!
The original roster is from JMC/MkHarsh33/justblazedown3/shogunofharlem. These guys did an amazing job putting this together and keeping it going. I am hoping we continue this into 2018. I hope to get my key for the reditorII from Vlad soon and I can be of more help!
I have updated the roster to put free agents into the pool and rosters reflect very close to who is on the team rosters as of 11/28/17. As I play a game versus each team I try to adjust their MLB 25 man roster to current and add 1 STAR free agents to their minors where needed. Takes a few minutes sometimes to adjust, but is worth it to get the players somewhat correct.
I will attach my Updated Roster
