The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

I always make changes from main page. I have noticed that the ai take strikes and balls sliders have also changed in how far you can take them on the all star difficulty before reverting back to pro. BFJ if you could play a few games and then check and see if you can lower the ai power setting? I have the ai power on 40 and saved under custom-A. Like I said I can now adjust the slider from 0-100 on the all star difficulty.

Has anyone else had the problem where your sliders from your VIP do not carry over into franchise mode? They are on the main screen, but when I start a franchise, I have to re-do them.

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

Zalf, I re-did the slider's on the 1st post with some specific instructions which help keep all the sliders in Custom-A without them ever going to Custom-P. If you follow those instructions you should be good

Yeah I can get it to stay A with those settings there are just too many homeruns. The one slider that can affect that the most; AI Power; can't be dropped and stay in A. That's the problem.

That's a 2K thing. They like to keep the slider sets separate. It's supposed to be a "feature", but everyone just finds it annoying, especially since they don't have the decency to copy their brethren and put numbers on the sliders.

I know of no way to just copy them across...........

There is either a total "point" count that applies to all of the sliders are some on one page are tied to another. After reading your post I went and checked my sliders. One move to the left on AI Power dropped me to P. I went and lowered Human power to 25 and then I could move AI Power all of the way to 0 without dropping to P.

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

I was thinking that might be the case Zalf. I have my Human Power at 45. There has to be some relation to all of the slider settings that is very confusing. It would be nice if someone from 2K could shed some light on this.

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

Jistic, are you getting a sense that the Pitcher Difficulty Slider might also play a part in why AI Pitcher's are not throwing many balls?

Yes, although I can't find a setting I'm happy with. Once in awhile I'll face a #1 and it's crazy, it's like 10 balls and 80 strikes. The minute he gets pulled the bullpen guys are going 3-0. Usually a meat pitch, followed by ball 4.

I'm guessing these throw strike sliders need to be somewhere around 15 for best results.

Now the pitcher difficulty slider? I had that at 75 and no good at all. However I also saw Beckett when I had it that high and he threw 2 wild pitches in the first inning alone!

I think there's enough dynamic AI in this that we'll eventually find "good enough", then play about 10-15 games of a dynasty to compile some stats, THEN tweak sliders.

That's what I'm gonna do next.

Bigfanjoe, if you set ai outffielder speed at 40 it reverts the difficulty to custom-p, must be at least 42

same goes for reaction speed (above 50 to stay at custom-a)

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

I can confirm that with custom-a sliders, you still get achievements that require at least pro difficulty. These custom-a sliders gave me the double triple achievement.

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

Not in this year's game.

Actually yes it is, just like last years game.

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

i'm definitely getting some weird results when trying to apply your sliders from all star difficulty. right now i'm stuck at trying to make the ai reaction speeds lower.

i'm at the point where i've applied every other one of your settings, but i can only lower 1 of the 2 reaction speeds, otherwise it goes to custom-p. so right now i'm at 30 for infielder reaction speed and 50 for outfielder reaction speed.

edit: i take it back, after continuing all the way through the sliders, it let me edit the outfielder reaction speed to 40, but i had to do all the other ones down the list first.

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

Tweak your sliders starting from the Legend setting.

The first things I did when I got the game today, were:

Put it on Legend(from the main menu)

Lowered the A.I throw strike overall slider to 0(I didn't mess with any other A.I pitching sliders)

Maxed out foul ball slider for both human & A.I

Played a game, Angels vs Mariners...Jarrod Washburn walked me about 3 times(even threw a few balls in the dirt).He sometimes threw me 3 balls in a row, but he would also pound the strike zone at times too.

I think I'll start tweaking some more sliders right now.Infielder speed and reaction need to be reduced in my opinion.

Power needs to be toned down as well.

Re: BFJ All-Star " Custom Total Control" Sliders

Just finished my first franchise game with these sliders here is what I got: Indians vs White Sox

I hit two solo shots with Hafner and Sizemore... Sizemore's broke a 1-1 tie in the 6th...

In the 9th, with me leading 3-1, I bring in Borowski who gives up a hit, then gets an out... on the next batter he pulls his hamstring is out 2-3 weeks. I bring in Perez who hits a batter to load the bases, probably because he was cold.

So I was warming up Jensen Lewis, bring him in, first batter, they try to squeeze home a run with one out and it fails... next batter with two outs, I throw a pitch in the dirt, they try to steal third and i throw the guy out at third to end the game.

Final line was:

Indians 3 7 0
WS 1 10 1

Only problem I had was CC being tired after about 40 pitches.. not sure why.
