The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

Re: The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

What's up everyone... Listen I was thinking about making some minor tweaks. Mainly from some stuff I've seen posted, but als0 from stuff I've seen myself...

Thinking about:

Human Reaction Speed Sliders: UP 5 clicks
AI Strikes Sliders: Down 5 clicks
AI Skill Slider: UP 15 clicks

IMO everything else seems perfectly fine...

What ya think?

Is there a cheap shot slider for the Yankees?

No changes yet jrod. Just looking to see how people feel about these. These changes would come from the sliders posted om pg1, not from the default setting

Thanks, btw I definitely like the change in reaction times (mine were like this anyway because it just felt better in general), I have to try out the AI skill change and I think the AI strikes at 0 is best for now because I personally have had good experience with it. I will let you know how I feel about skill change, but I think the other 2 changes should be made permanent.

Can you get achievements with these? I got a walk and didnt get an achievement. Is custom a the only thing besides rookie that you cant get achievements with?

These tweaks make sense, but what about the total control pitching slider? I've been following this topic for days and I've seen this slider as low as 20 and now it's up to around 80. Makes a huge difference. Just curious why you raised it so much? I find I'm throwing meatballs like crazy now. Maybe it's just me?

BTW, thank you for your contribution. This is a great thread!

i just finished a game with these sliders (with a little bit of tweaking) and got the bunt for a hit achievement. i still had custom-a difficulty.

I just had a great game with these sliders. 10 innings.

Cardinals 4 9 2
Royals (me) 5 10 1

Each team had two home runs and Ryan pinch hit for the Cardinal pitcher late in the game and attempted a steal! Threw him out even though I was caught off guard.

I have had to make some slider changes though. For several games there was just no offense on either side. I upped the CPU power about 5 clicks, Cpu contact about 8 clicks and the CPU skill 2 clicks.

For human I lowered the pitch speed to about 40 (not 40 clicks). Lowered the step influence about 10 clicks and increased my power a couple of clicks. Could not raise the my contact as it would have put me in the Pro level. Everything seems to be set for me now with the exception of the CPU contact slider. I may need to raise it a bit more because in the above game Del a Rosa struck out 10 batters in 8 innings. Oh yeah, I have lowered my pitch control to about 40. Still walk a couple of batters a game, mostly because I am being careful, not wild. Still had one meatball pitch in the above game and Pujols made me pay by going deep.

I just had the CPU attempt a steal on me also. The count was 0 - 1 with 0 outs. However, it caught me COMPLETELY off guard and I wasn't even close to throwing the runner out.

It was nice to see a steal attempt, though. :-)

I was playing the Rays(me) vs. Twins. 1st batter singles, second batter sac bunts and he moves to second. First pitch to the 3rd batter and the runner takes off and steals 3rd. It caught me off guard but was so nice to see the AI steal.

Sounds like you're in about the same boat as me. I'm going to lower the computer's take sliders a bit and raise their skill to 25, as is posted on the 1st page. If the strikeouts continue, I'll raise contact to 55 or 60. Seems like there's going to be a fine line between the right amount of offense and too much offense. I don't think I'll raise the skill above 25 at any point, because it seems like it's just too hard to consistently get outs unless you really lower the contact/power.
