This all came after the realization that Hot and Cold teams had to be off. These numbers keep the K's high enough, but the hits will be good enough to make you fear hitters.

Re: Creating **The 'PERFECT' Slider Set**

For those using my set of sliders or a close variation thereof, I've found two minor changes that need to be made, one for fielding and one for pitching.

First one: Turn AI Fielding Aggression to 65. Yes I know this sounds weird to just move it up 5, but I've had a couple of instance of CPU SS fiedling the ball with less than 2 outs and a runner on first, and without hesitating throwing directly to first when, in the replay, it was clear they could have turned the double play. Since I've moved it to 65, this has been taken care of. So for those looking to further perfect the fielding in these sliders, move this one up to 65.

Second: Turn the AI Throw Strike Behind down from 50 to 45. This is needed to make walking a tad easier. If this takes care of it I will leave it at 45, if not I will keep experimenting.

Good luck guys!

Are these changes for the original sliders or the difficult ones? Also, do you have dynamic turned on or off?

Fella you sure you dont mean throwing aggression there and not fielding aggression because we had fielding agg on 0 before then to suddenly up it to 65 seems drastic?

Re: Creating **The 'PERFECT' Slider Set**

Small question, if you set the take strike number to say 100 what does it do?

Will he swing for more strikes or just watch them go by?

I believe they will just watch more strikes go right by.

Oh god I hope I havent messed everyone up lol.

AI THROWING AGGRESSION to 65, not fielding aggression. Oops.

And for whoever asked, these changes should be made to both sets.

I will come up with a final perfected copy of my slider set, not with regular or maximum difficulty, but rather with a description of which sliders need to be FIXED to be perfect, and which ones have a spectrum that each of us can move along depending on skill. Then there will be an indication of where each of the 'changeable' ones need to be to achieve the max difficulty, along with of course the settings for the fixed ones. I hope I can get this out within a day or so, and it will replace all the other sets I've posted on here including the front page one and the max difficulty one (or rather it will include all the sets).

Yep your right I tested it at 0 and they swung at every strike.

Now Im just trying to figure out if i set the balls to 0 will the also swing....

[phatjoe]

Re: Creating **The 'PERFECT' Slider Set**

so......I should use the sliders on the front page or not for "regular difficulty"?

[nnng07]

Re: Creating **The 'PERFECT' Slider Set**

Go with the front page sliders for now, or wait until I put the universal set out tomorrow that will instruct where regular/advanced players should play at. Tomorrow's set will include the last minor changes I think need to be made to perfect the gameplay, and will replace all the other sets I've posted on here.

Re: Creating **The 'PERFECT' Slider Set**

I played one game (so far) with nnng07's max difficult sliders on page 10. I was the twins (Johan) facing Baltimore (Bedard). I lost 3-2, but I had chances to win. I gave up two HR to Tejada, he actually had all 3 RBI I had no HR, but I did have 6 K with Johan with is a first for me. I thought the sliders played really well, every game that I played prior to this, I had a max of 3K and I gave up 10 runs or more. I am going to play some more and report back.
