BIGFNJOE'S MLB 2K6 360 Sliders

Re: BIGFNJOE'S MLB 2K6 360 Sliders

If I use custom sliders and turn dynamic difficulty on during franchise mode will this affect the sliders?

Nope. That feature influences basically the comeback AI. If you are up by 5 in the 8th, the CPU will become stronger as they attempt to come back. If you are down by 5. Your players receive a boost in an effort to come back. I like turning it OFF for added realism.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S MLB 2K6 360 Sliders

I need a little help from the slider experts.....I usually leave everything at default, but felt this game needed some adjustments.

I used BIGFNJOE's sliders as my baseline and adjusted to my game play style. However, the CPU is hitting me like crazy. Please understand this is my first time playing MLB 2k. So I decided to increase the CPUs Takey Strike to 100 and Take Ball to 0. The CPU still swings at a lot of strikes. Maybe I should up the Take Ball to 100 as well.

Just asking, because my goal is to get around 6 to 10 strike outs. I have a created pitcher that has everything maxed out and he still only gets 1 or 2 strikeouts.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

A few questions....
! Are you a baseball fan? I ask because when pitching...every pitch shouldnt be a strike. If you are ahead 0-2 throw something out of the zone to get him to chase usually a breaking pitch of some sort. 1-2 a change-up, breaking ball, fastball out of the zone. Again trying to get him to chase. 2-2...you might want a fastball on the corners or something that moves in the zone. 3-2 unless its a feared hitter usually a changeup/fastball in the zone to put the ball in play.
I think changing the sliders drastically like you did is a bad idea. I recommend using myself or Joes sliders than play an exhibition game strictly focusing on your pitching approach taking into consideration what I said above. Change location/speed often and generally try to keep the CPU guessing

Thanks Brandnew....Honestly, I am not the biggest fan, but do love to play the game. I will try keeping your sliders and working on my pitching. I was just getting ripped for over 20 hits a game and 0 strike outs. The CPU was even hitting everything stikes or balls, didn't matter.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S MLB 2K6 360 Sliders

Good Morning Everyone:

Just a quick heads up to a fellow slider maker...no matter what level you start you sliders on they become custom after the first movement of a slider. The fact that you see a difference starting from pro as opposed to legend is all in your head. Rookie sliders are boosted to favor the player more and legend is obviously the opposite...lowered to favor the CPU. So if it ends up at 35 no matter what it is 35... rookie, legend whatever it makes no difference. To give a quick example of what im saying...say I start at Pro and move power up to 60 from say 50 or whatever the default is. Its then 60.. Then say I move power up to 60 from 35 where it is preset on All Star. Its then 60. SO no matter what level you started from its still 60. See what im saying. SO making a Pro slider set and Legend slider set with the same numbers is just a waste of time because 60 is 60 no matter where you start.

brandnew66, you are correct that no matter what level you begin to adjust Sliders the setting changes to Custom, but if you look @ less say CPU & HITTING Sliders. If you change let's say Fielder Agression on HUMAN, but don't change the Human Hitting Slider. The setting will become CUSTOM, but the only Slider being affected is the-1 you changed, the others stay the same because they haven't been touched.

On Pro or "DEFAULT" all the sliders are set @ 50, which last year was the default setting, this included the Throwing Sliders which were Grayed-Out@ 50 also. As Chicago Party stated in his post. Each Difficulty has a different slider set, which probably means each hidden Throwing Slider is different also.

The Lower the setting the less affective the CPU Arm Strength becomes, but then the Human Player Arm Strength gets a boost. The higher you go the opposite happens.

Let's not get confused guys. The Player Ratings never change. So if the ratings never change & you want to play the game with no extra boost, then using the DEFAULT SLIDERS is what you want because 50 is the common denominator. I know it's confusing & would of been soooooo much easier if they just would of left the SETTINGS Option the way it was last year. Unfortunately they didn't so I'm going on instinct here from experience with last year's title.

concealed, the sliders you want to adjust is the AI SKILL & HITTING SLIDER not the Pitching Sliders. AI Hitting deals more with the AI SKILL & HITTING Sliders. Lower those sliders until you get the results your looking for...

On a side note, for those using these sliders, lower your Human Fielder Speed to 30. I mistakenly left this slider high, because I had Human Fielder Agression low. I then changed Human Fielder Agression higher, but left Human Fielder Speed high also. This change will help the CPU get more hit's in the gap. If you feel Human Fielder Speed is still high, adjust as you see fit..

Also if your using my Legend Sliders I strongly suggest you TURN-ON Baserunning SPEED BOOST & leave the baserunning slider @ 100. I found that this helps you get that extra base on gappers, even with the SUPER OUTFIELD ARMS.

bigjoe, let me know.

my first couple of games wound up with the Giants hitting about 4-5 HRs a game (Alou, Bonds, Durham, Mark Sweeney, Vizquel). i was thinking about lowering AI's power down 5-10.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S MLB 2K6 360 Sliders

mman19, are those stats from the Pro Realism Sliders? The other thing I noticed is Pedro had 0 k's. Was the CPU hitting everything?

If this is so try these settings for the CPU & let me know:

AI Skill -65
AI Contact -47
AI Power -43

Are your Human Hitting Sliders set as:

Contact:50
Power:57

My human sliders were the same, i changed the AI sliders you listed and just started the game. I'll report back.

What is the difference from the pro set and the realism set? Also are the ones in the first post the updated ones? Thanks!

Cool, let us know what results you get after you changed AI Skill, Contact and Power. The stats you listed before were a little on the HR heavy side

Thanks

Pro Realism Set...

TEX - 1 run, 7 hits, 0 errors (1 HR, 1 2B, 0 3B)
K. Brown - 5 IP, 5 K, 6 BB

BOS(me) - 7 runs, 11 hits, 0 errors (3 HR, 2 2B, 0 3B)
J. Beckett - 7 IP, 6 K, 1 BB

it was a fun game, sweet sliders, just hoping the 6 BB was just because it was Kevin Brown, he was throwing everywhere but the strike zone
