BIGFNJOE'S 2K7 Pure Realism Zone Pitching/Swing Stick Sliders

Re: BIGFNJOE'S 2K7 Pure Realism Zone Pitching/Swing Stick Sliders

Not sure if I like this zone pitching. I cannot strike any batters out with these settings. I am also getting a lot of bloop hits while batting.

My timing is really bad when doing zone pitching, even worse than with payoff. I'm sticking with payoff pitching for now since I haven't perfected it yet and i'm still getting a good amount of walks/ks with it. And don't even get me started on how horrible i am with the swing stick.

OK, Guys, I changed the AI Batting Sliders. This is what they are now:

AI Skill: 85
AI Contact: 55
AI Power 40

Hey Joe, I have AI contact/power at 45/50 and skill at 100. It seems to give a good variety. I've played 6 games like this and the CPU has 4 homers. I wasn't giving up the long ball even with meat pitches under 50 power for the AI.

Hey highheat,

How do these sliders compare to the sliders you posted by njpapi? I am using those sliders atm and have been having good games with them but I loved bigfnjoes sliders last year and am having an impossible time figuring which ones to use. What are the key differences between the sliders? I am hoping to maybe use a combination of the 2 or wait till some kinks get worked out. When I got the sliders last year I started with and used the final set all season. Any help would be greatly appreciated bud.

I'm really liking the feel of these, however I'm striking out the CPU way to much. 18 and 15 in the last two games. Any suggestions as to how to tune that down a bit?

I am the exact opposite, with the Red Sox, I have been averaging about 1K per game against AI batters with these settings . . .

I haven't tried the last small update. But in 5 games or so with the last version, I was lucky if I struck out one batter a game

Teach me, with Zone or Payoff I cannot strike anyone out....I get batters to 0-2 counts, throw a down and outside slider with Smoltzy and they still reach and at least dribble it into the infield...Cannot for the life of me get any K's with these sliders.

The offensive portion seems dead on, but I am gonna edit the pitching a bit to see if I can get more K's...0-4 so far on these, sad to say its good to lose, but it really is.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S 2K7 Pure Realism Zone Pitching/Swing Stick Sliders

Hmmm... odd. I'll go back and check my settings and make sure they're right.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S 2K7 Pure Realism Zone Pitching/Swing Stick Sliders

I've dropped the AI Batting Skill to 65 and AI Contact to 40. It does increase the chance of a strike out slightly, but it may degrade the AI's total offense unacceptably. We shall have to see. The main problem are that the AI (1) is not swinging at much outside the zone and (2) is pretty much hitting everything it swings at on the Joe's sliders.

But the onfield portion does feel about right.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S 2K7 Pure Realism Zone Pitching/Swing Stick Sliders

Good Morning guys... If your having trouble getting K's, don't lower the AI Batting Sliders, Lower the AI Take Balls Sliders. As someone pointed out lower the AI Batting Sliders will cripple the AI Offense, for sake of K's. I edited the AI Take Strikes/Balls Sliders, here are the new Slider Setting:

AI Take Strike Overall: 65
AI Take Strike Ahead: 60
AI Take Strike Behind: 80
AI Take Ball Overall: 40
AI Take Ball Ahead: 35
AI Take Ball Behind: 30

I also moved the AI Throwing Aggression to 50. AI wasn't going for lead runners in obvious situations.

Try these & see what happens.

just loaded these up and had a blast... mets vs yanks.. i was the mets Andy dominated me only giving up 2 hits through 7 innings.. they took him out for a pinch hitter in the 8th thank god.. i was down 3-0 btm of 8th.. they brought in Farnsworth.. first pitch he threw Wright he hit deep into the night.. i then put a few base hits together and another bomb.. before ya knew it i was up 8-3 .. that was the final score..

funny how a pitcher like Andy can dominate and then the bullpen is actually a relief for me lol.. good stuff..

I'm getting great stats with the CPU pitchers (walks, pitch counts, etc.) but the hitters still make contact on EVERYTHING. I'll intentionally throw it way off the plate sometimes and they still manage to get a piece of it. So it's keeping my pitch counts low and not allowing me to get K's or walks because they make contact on bad pitches and swing at everything.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S 2K7 Pure Realism Zone Pitching/Swing Stick Sliders

Yeah, I've found that with AI contact above 30-35, they can pretty much make contact with anything. It is extremely hard to get them miss on a pitch outside the zone or blow a fastball by them, even with fastball and strike specialists.

Re: BIGFNJOE'S 2K7 Pure Realism Zone Pitching/Swing Stick Sliders

Just tried with the latest updates. I still cannot strike any batters out. I change pitches, change speed but get zero k's. With 2 strikes, it seems no matter where I throw the pitch, the hit it.

I also saw a lot more homeruns with this set. If I missed a pitch, it was gone. Also, I had went 3-0 to three batters and they never took a strike. Each time, they swung.
