Creating **The 'PERFECT' Slider Set**

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

With batter contact so low are you guys seeing any foul balls? I've had it at 90 for a while with another slider set and I love it.

You must never strike out swinging, though...

I see a decent amount of fouls with contact set to 35-40.

I definitely do, I'm terrible at timing off-speed pitches.

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

Anyone notice all the games playing out the same. Regardless of the team It is always low scoring through about 3-4 innings then I score. Around the 5th inning my starters gets rocked and I take him out. Around then its a tie game and then my bullpen gives up a couple runs and so does the opponenets bullpen. Anyone have any suggestions to add some variety to the games?

Not at all.

See my "crazy game" thread for massive variation!

This is not the case for my games! I just got A. P. Back off the DL and he gave up 12 runs in the first 2 innings to the crosstown Mets! Andy seemed to be hitting spots good and everything but the mets hit all. After 5 innings I took him out and the totals were 12r 15h 1k 2bb 1hbp...Final score was 16-5 I was No Hit thru 6 1/3 innings until the rain delay and Arod belted a hr right on the first pitch after the delay ended! I do rarely see the 1-0 game anymore though? I give up tons of hits lately too, driving me crazy!

I haven't really gotten that. Actually, usually my starter is either ON or OFF. Most of the time I either struggle to get through 3 innings with my scrubby starters or get Chris Carpenter to go 7-8 quality innings. Anthony Reyes has been all over the place. 4 starts in which he has not completed 3 innings, and 2 complete-game shutouts, one a 4-hitter & the other a 6-hitter. I usually have no idea what my starter is going to bring to the table, unless it's Carpenter in which case I know that I won't have to use any of the scrubby middle relievers on my team.

Are you guys striking out the AI looking a lot? I strike them out looking once in a blue, i get all my strike outs on swings. I have the take strike overrall slider at 80 and I just bumped up teh take strike behind slider to 50. Ill see if that helps.

With the sliders I'm using now, I've gotten 3 in a game once. It's more about changing eye level and working the zone. I have my take strike overall slider at 80.

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

am I doing something wrong with the sliders? I've been scoring double digits in the last 3 games, and two of them I had 20 runs. I play as the Mets on 360 with these perfect sliders.

thanks.

X*Cell, i'm getting too many doubles and HR, so which slider do i need to change without screwing up the other sliders?

I'm trying to find a nice balance there as well. My Homerun numbers are looking significantly more realistic, but yes, my doubles have gone up drastically as well.

The game i'm playing now, i dropped human power to 0 and human/cpu pitcher fatique to 20. Pitchers have been coming out too early for me. Just dropped cpu Effectiveness mod to 95 and human batter influence to 95.

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

I don't know if you guys are using the power swing to hit with, but if you are, you will continuously hit doubles. The only time the power swing should be used is on meat pitches. If not, you will not get a realistic singles total. I use 25/15/35/15 for contact, power, influence, power swing respectfully and my singles outnumber my doubles well over a 2-1 margin. Just use the release method other than meat pitches and you will see a different result.
