I need to look into the fatigue and ball/strike sliders.

I can se that the biggest problem with pitch counts is that there are virtually no foul balls in this game. It makes quite a difference.

Bellz666, your sliders have rejuvinated this game for me..I never used classic swing before and im loving your sliders so far.. There were 2 changes I have made:

1) Moved my fatigue slider to the right to 35 (Pitched 2 complete games in a row)
2) Increased AI Skill by 10 (Pitched 2 straight complete game shutouts against Cleveland

All in all i feel that your sliders have tremendous potential and look forward to seeing your adjustments.

Thanks

PS--Are you a Ravens fan..Im a Jets fan so good luck this weekend!!!

Thanks dude. These are two issues I've been tweaking also. For some reason I cannot edit my initial thread with the updated sliders, so I'll have to post a new one here.

Yes, Im a huge Ravens fan. It sucks that Pennington isn't playing this weekend. Tons of week 1 injuries this year, huh?

Re: Bellz666 - 2k7 Post-Patch Sliders (X360)

Ok, these sliders have given the CPU a bit more offense, the initial sliders had them barely able to get any hits. I also lowered the user offense a little as I was having 9 run, 17 hit games waaaay too often. No more of that. I had to increase the CPU infielder speed and agression a smidge as well, and it's hellped. Remember, I suck at offense so you may need to tweak them to your own liking.

I increased the CPU taking pitches outside of the zone overall and in counts where they are ahead, since I was having starting pitchers throw about 50 pitches through 6 innings quite a bit. I still cannot get realistic pitch counts, but like I've posted previously, there are just not any foul balls in this game, and that makes a difference.

Again, I'll need to play about 8 - 10 games with these to see where they stack, let me know your impressions, and we can work towards a perfect set.

Alright Bellzy lad!

Just some observations on the CPU offense sliders i quoted above.

I cant believe you have them all set so low! I have:

Skill: 100
Contact: 45
Power: 60
Pitcher Diff: 0
Effectiveness Mod: 100

Anything less than that and i totally shut the CPU down. On 45 contact i always nigh on lead the league in strikeouts averaging 6/7 a game, man if i put that down to 35 i would strikeout 20 a game no exaggeration. I used to have power at 50 then 55 and even then my ERA was never above 3 over a sustained period....now at 60 its perfect, my ERA is usually between 4 and 5...get a pitch wrong with my settings and its outta there.

Anyway, this is not a dig at you in anyway shape or form, im glad others like you are still playing and loving this game, it was merely a comment to say how incredulous i found those CPU offense sliders, please dont take these comments the wrong way :wink:

Happy balling.

Re: Bellz666 - 2k7 Post-Patch Sliders (X360)

are you guys using the same pitching interface, that can make a huge difference, i mean payoff is a lot more exacting than k zone therefore you need to have the cpu batters options set a lot higher, like having skill at 100 etc.

Hey, no offense taken. I know that my AI sliders are a bit low. I use the Pirates as my team and their pitching gives up a good amount of runs. I get myself a very even game, and although the Pirates have pretty good starters, their bullpen is easily hittable, so I do get roughed up from time to time.

I am using the zone 2 pitching interface.

well there you go, i don't think you'd want skill at 100 using zone pitching interface as its a lot harder to hit your spots, more mistake pitches as well.

Re: Bellz666 - 2k7 Post-Patch Sliders (X360)

I am using the zone 2 pitching interface.

Which explains a lot, and i can now see why you have toned your sliders down.

Im a payoff man

I had been using payoff when the game first came out. I never threw a ball and my pitchers would complete games with 60 piches. With the Pitcher Interface Speed at 95, I throw alot more pitches.

For example. with Zack Duke pitching against Cincinnati he went 7.0 innings, threw 82 pitches for 50 strikes. It's still a low number, but again, the lack of foul balls throws off pitch counts.

I dont have that issue as i make myself throw a realistic amount of balls, and believe me with the power on 60 you dont to be throwing too many strikes against big batters!
