When we say “realistic” we are talking pure baseball fans that want their videogame to play as close as possible to MLB.
In these sliders for CLASSIC SWING we are trying for simulation, pure and simple.
Like the old adage “there’s no crying in baseball” we believe there are “no turbo boost- button- mashing in baseball.” Your players and the computer will run as fast as they can without blistering up your finger.
The average major league at bat is about 6 to 7 pitches. We try to capture that in our sliders. The average videogame player is 35 years old and Paul and I are right there.
We began playing baseball games with the old board game Strat-O-matic. We have researched from the day it came out and tweaked this game from the early morning until late into the night.
Although there is some tweaking still to do, we are VERY CLOSE and wanted to share these NOW with our fellow baseball maniacs. Any updates will be done on this FIRST page of the thread.
We would like to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone on this board who contributed their versions of sliders. When we first picked up the game we were lost. BIG TIME. Thank you JT and everyone!!!
We loved MLB right out of the box but knew the sliders had to be fixed to play a true game of baseball. Please let us know how they are working for you. Any suggestions you have will be checked and tested every day until we achieve PERFECTION!
REMEMBER….these are for TRUE SIM only. It’s not for you arcade fans who are disappointed because it took you a whole 2 weeks to throw a no hitter with Oliver Perez. Or that you have the KC Royals and wonder why you can’t hit.
This is the best baseball game we have EVER played (and we have played all of them) and REALISM is what we are striving for.
