Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

What I do is I never uppercut swing , I either do a normal contact swing by just hitting the A button or I push directly to the left or right when pushing the A button, this brings more variety of hits, but I dont uppercut swing. I also never use the hitters eye, but u dont have to do that. I just like making things difficult for myself. I always place the hitters eye all the way down , way out of the stirke zone and when the pitcher begins his whind up I let the stick go and then hit as normal.

But honestly your still going to get good games. The methods above are just for calming HR's down. Im also getting great games, and now i never really know if im going to win, even when I play with the Yankees.

Yeah I dont like using the uppercut swing either. I'm thinking about starting a GM career with Tampa Bay.

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

Wow im noticing alot of brothers are using Tampa, are u from there, or is there another reason?

I lost a great game today agains the Mets, im using the Yankees. 4-3 in the 9th, but the great thing is how I lost.

Jose got a basehit stole 2nd. The next batter Bunted him to 3rd. Now 1 out and a runner on 3rd. I intentionly walked the next batter to setup hopefully for a double play. Now pitching to the 8th hitter Easely I decided to pitch to him and I got him to strike out. Now 2 outs with Reyes still on the 3rd I brought in Vizcaino Especially since the pitcher was coming to bat. Well I brough in Vizcaino since his splitter can produce a ground ball. Well the Mets countered that Move by bringing in Shawn Green, Well with the Count 3-2 I set him up for a pitch on the inside and he was fooled but made enough contact to bloop it into right field, as I was coming in with Abreu I did a sliding catch to get the ball befor it hits the ground and it hit Abreu gloves and the ball fell to the ground and I lost. It was a great game. cant wait to play some more.

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

I'm not from there. I was just gonna try them out. I dont really like making alot of trades cuz it makes it unrealistic. I just noticed also that there's alot of people using the D'rays. I usually do a dynasty manager page so I wanted a team that there arewnt so many people using. Decided to go with Texas. I'm gonna start the dynasty tonight. Been getting thunderstorms here today so I havent been playing my Xbox 360 today.

ever thought about Cleveland? That seems like a fun team to play with.

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

Actually I had used them when I first got the game. They are a fun team to use. Hafner and Sizemore are beasts. I really liked there middle infeild. Sabathia is a good under rated pitcher too.

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

For those using the slider set i created how is it going after all?

Im still satisfied, I just want to know how the rest is doing.

Please respond.

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

OK I have tried a lot of sliders and some where incredible, but yours my friend are FREAKING AMAZING! I don't know if it is just me, but these sliders are like playing a real game of baseball. Also the Animation run smoother too. WOW! I love how you have to take pitches to get good pitches to hit. Also, I through 70 pitches in 4 innings and the CPU had thrown 70 pitches too the ump was not giving us the calls, it was great. It just felt so right, it was hard to hit my spots and the HR problems was gone. I set the contact to 10 and that way it made it harder to get good wood on the ball. It was so freaking fun to play, I did do one thing I changed the batter influence to 100 and the batter contact to 10. Any ways thank bro you made this game come alive. Everything you promise you deliver for me.

Wow Man thxs alot. I really do feel good knowing I brought joy to u playing this game. I also have some slight new adjustments, im about to add. Just on the throwing speeds. I feel everything else is fine. Yea me personally i really feel I nailed the AI side of things. It is so unpredicatable. I love it. Now u placed batter Influence to 100, what has it done for u in the game? I would really appreciate your feedback on it.

[Tyrant8RDFL]

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

3 small adjustments that I made with the sliders. I changed the throw speeds for the Catcher , Infield, and Outfield. Please make the changes for both the Player and AI.

Player Options
Batter Contact:5 to 30 for Legend 35 to 50 For allstar 55 to 70 For Pro 75 to 90 For Rookie This slider has nothing at all to do with hit variance Just timing. The higher it is the more forgiving it is with your timing and allowing u more contact. The lower it is the better your timing has to be to make contact
Batter Power: 30 for classic 50 if your using the hitstick but only if your using the contact method.
Batter Influence:30
Power Swing:0 Game is so Hr friendly, and this helps some not alot.
Step Influence: 60 This works good for both Classic and Hit stick interface.
Pitcher Difficulty: 95
Batter Bunt Assistance: 30
Batter Bunt for Hit: 0 This slider make no sense at all. If u place the ball right u will get a hit., especially if the player that places the bunt is fast.
Runner Baserunning Spd: 100
Runner Stealing Success: 55
Infielder Errors: 50 this will not only allow a realsitic amount of erros but they wont catch every diving attempt also.
Outfielder Errors: 50 Same as above
Infielder Speed: 25
Outfielder Speed: 40
Catcher Throw Speed: 60
Infielder Throw Speed: 20
Outfielder Throw Speed: 20
Infielder Reaction Speed: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Outfielder Reaction Speed: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Fielder Spd Burst Length: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Fielder Spd Burst Power: 0 Dont need this at all trust me
Fielding Aggression:50 The higher this is the more important it is for u to call for the ball or your teammate will crash into u. Raise it if u want this to be more involved in your game.
Pitcher Fatigue: 40
Pitcher Interface Speed:50 becuase starting it to high will not give u the feel of having to adjust to new speeds when your pitcher tires so 50 is really good. Its slow then it will speed up to as high as a 100. Which gives u something to adjust to. Also it being slow sometimes messes u up also, so focus is needed. Works great with the Zone interfaces.
Injuries: 50 This is fine.
Pitch Speed: 85 OMG please trust me when I tell u this. 85 is the perfect and the most realistic pitch speed in the game. Tim wakefields knucklers reaches the plate the way it is suppose to. With this pitch speed u must guess pitch and be ready for the right pitch. You will truly feel like a MLB player at the plate with this speed. Now if it is tuff for you. then lower it , but everything else will be coming into the plate at a slow motion feel or higher and there isnt much of a speed variance from different pitch types. Please trust me on this. Just give yourself time to adjust or move hitting contact up.

It could just be me, but it feels like it sprays the hits around the field. It had another great game. I was the Dodgers and Jason S. just didn't have it tonight, but he made it to the 5th inning before everything came apart. It was great. Carlos Z. didn't have it either he was shaky in the first 3 inning walking 4 and then after that he got in a rhythm, and was damn near unhittable. I lost 6 to 2. Jason gave up a 3 run HR to A. Ramirez and that was all she wrote. Carlos had 77 pitches in 4inning and ended the 8th with 120. After that shaky 4 inning it he dealing throwing strikes and I could be patient like I was earlier. It was great.

Hm I will have to try this. I have pitcher fatigue for me at 25 and CPU at 35. I throw and take a lot of pitches. And the contact at 10. Any ways great job. I will try these changes, but I like the throw speed it feels right, but I will still try it. Also I put the batter step at 100.

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

Are u using classic or Swing Stick?

I also had a heartbraker last night. I was beating the Redsoxs and in the Bottom of the 8th I gave up a 3 run hr and the Soxs took a 5-4 lead. Now in the 9th I get 2 runners on with 2 outs , but I lowered my controller while my guys was on 2nd and I hit the Ltrigger by mistake with my thigh and the runner kept running and got tagged out at 3rd. lol I wasnt looking when i put the controller on my lap, I was taking a peek at the yankees game on the other TV, and I had Jeter Coming to Bat. Man that hurt.

But when u get a chance let me know what hitting format your using. On the new throwing speeds sliders that I have they work very nicely. I really looked at how long the play was developing and the speed of the runner to make sure the results were right, and it was working out nice, so yea give them a try and let me know what u think.

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

Tyrant,

Great sliders! I had been using Heels sliders and then I tried yours and I like yours even better. I just noticed you made three minor adjustment which I will try later. I use Classic hitting and these work great for me!

Thanks for all the hard work!

[Tyrant8RDFL]

Re: Sliders For all Skill Levels. Tyrant 8 RDFL

Classic I just like it better.

Oh ok thats cool. I like Classic also and that is what I use. When u use classic, do u just hit the A button or do u use the left stick also, and if u do use the left stick do u use it freely or in a certain manner?

Also did u try the 3 minor adjustments yet with the throwing speeds and if so did u like the results?
