Re: HH's tweaked sliders.

HH,
Thanks man these sliders are great, these are the ones i'll be using for my
franchise, the only thing I changed was the pitch speed, changed it to 85
this has helped me to cut down on my stike outs and make more contact with
the ball.

Thanks man, glad you enjoy them. Be careful with the 85 pitch speed though. You might start the games you play well, but when you get to later innings, the meters on the zone pitching interface become almost impossible to control. That's why I lowered it. If you are able to control it in the later innings, hats off to you. Keep me updated on your stats and season progression. I just started my season and had a really great game against the Twins until the 8th inning when they pulled away from me and beat me 7-2. It was 2-1 me going into the 6th when Mauer jacked a two run shot off of Bedard, I threw a bad meat pitch. I had a chance to tie it up or take the lead in the top of the 8th with bases loaded and one out, Tejada was up and Rincon threw a low and away slider which I grounded right to short for a double play. They then blew me up in the bottom of the 8th and it was lights out on opening day for my O's.

I just play regular season mode. I haven't even adventured into the franchise or career mode yet.

Yes, it's a really cool feature in this game. I just blew a 4-3 lead in the 9th to go 0-2. The best game to date with these sliders.

Re: HH's tweaked sliders.

HH: Great work on the updates. Had a great game b/w the Yanks and the White Sox in round one of the playoffs. I won the game 8-6. Not exactly a pitching duel but it was a fun one. It really turned into a softball game from an offensive standpoint.

A few questions with regard to your changes to the house rules. Using the power swing when you correctly guess the batter's eye, are you finding too many HR opportunities? I was correctly guessing pitches left and right and it turned into a power fest. Also, according to the house rules, you must wait for a strike before swinging. Thus, did you ever use the batter's eye and swing on 3-0 counts?

In your previous slider settings, you had hitting contact at 25. Why did you raise them to 30? I realize I only played one game with the new setting at 30. However, between using the hitter's eye and contact setting at 30, I was able to produce 16 hits and hit 4HRs. I am not saying this is not realistic; there are games like this, especially with a potent lineup like the Yankees; Only more testing will give me a better guage whether this should be lowered.

What has been your experience with regards to the number of hits?

Yeah, I guess I need to change that. If I guess the batter's eye at anytime, even a 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 count, I swing. If I don't guess it correctly, I let the ball go by until I get a strike. If the counts are 1-1, 2-1, 1-2, ect... and I don't guess the pitch, it's only a pull and release swing.

As far as the contact settings, see I use the Orioles. And you may need to lower it with a potent team like that. I use to have it teams rated 1-10 overall use 10 contact, teams 11-20 overall use 20, and teams 21-30 use 30 for contact. Maybe thats the way it needs to be then. I just got swept by the Twins in my opening series and only had 2 homeruns on maybe 18-20 correct guesses. Also, don't preload your swing. I always wait until the pitcher's leg is moving forward until I start my swing. This allows for a wider margin of missing pitches and fouling them off.

Re: HH's tweaked sliders.

Jeez-o-pete... there are so many house rules involved with these sliders, they're verging on parody.

[highheatkingsb]

Re: HH's tweaked sliders.

This game is so awesome. I got swept by the Twins 7-2, 5-4, 8-3 and turned right around and beat the Yanks in my first game at the Bronx 5-2.

Re: HH's tweaked sliders.

HH: What are you seeing with regard to the number of hits you are getting with contact at 30? Also, how about HR opportunities with the hitter's eye house rule? How many hits are you averaging a game?

I'm getting around 10-11 hits a game. I'm 1-5 right now with the O's. I can get a lead and hold it till the 7th, 8th, or 9th, then my team sucks for some reason.

As for homeruns, in those 6 games, I have a total of 5. Like I said before, I don't begin my swing until the AI pitcher's leg is coming forward. It makes it more difficult. I'm thinking down the road of maybe dropping my contact to the 10-20 range and moving AI contact down to 45/50. They seem to get 10-15 hits every game themselves, even though I average 4 strikeouts a game. I'm 8th in the league in batting average, 17th in rbis, 27th in homeruns, but I'm 6th in hits.

I really don't want to restart as I feel like I could've won almost every game if it wasn't for my bullpen, but I also don't want to only win 30 or so games because of this. It gets repetitive and it sucks just knowing I am going to give up that BS inning. I've had two straight games against the Yankees that I would've won, but Cory Patterson drops a fly ball in both of them that leads to a blowup inning for my staff. It's almost like it's supposed to happen, and I don't want to believe that about this game.

If I move the contact down on both sides, I'll most likely move the pitch speed back up to give the computer more opportunities to score though.

Any suggestions for better tweaking of AI hitting and human hitting is more than welcomed.

[chuckd23]

Re: HH's tweaked sliders.

Overall, I like the flow of the game. I do think at 30 for contact, I am getting too many hits. I tried going back down to 10, but then I struck out 12 times a game. I think there is a good middle ground around 20-25. As for the AI hitting, I know what you mean about the BS inning. My bullpen will have one inning where everything falls apart. I am going to try to lower the pitching interface speed to 95 leave everything else the same. Otherwise, I may keep pitching interface at 100 and lower the pitching module to 95. Everything else seems perfect from a realism standpoint. I am getting good starting pitching; it is just that my bullpen, regardless of who I threw in there, gets hit around in one inning or so. More to come . . .

I don't know, I've tried a couple combos tonight. I think this is about as good as it's going to get without hurting the AI offense. I just need to make my pitches in the later innings I guess.
