The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

Re: The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

When you say Base Running do you mean both Human & AI or only 1 of them?

If for some reason you feel the AI isn't doing anything on offense, I would suggest moving the AI Skill Slider up until you see a difference. The other 2 sliders seem just right

I meant Human Baserunning speed...is there an AI base running speed slider?

VERY IMPORTANT: Before you begin, you should RESET the Sliders(RB Button) GO TO LEGEND & set the sliders using + (move slider to the RIGHT) or - (move slider to the left) from exactly where the sliders is. DO NOT MOVE ANY SLIDERS TO 0

Does anyone have the slider #s for the default Legend setting. It's tough to determine what sliders have changed based on the new approach. I think it's easier the way you have it displayed now, but it would also be nice to see slider # setting besides it's location from "Legend Default"

One more question...is everyone seeing a good amount of foul balls? I've turned up the Human and CPU foul ball setting to 75 and I'm seeing some foul balls but I feel like there should be a greater amount.

Has anyone earned wild cards while using these sliders for completing the various "difficult" tasks?

If I get time tonight I'll do it.

I did it for all-star a few posts back, not sure why I didn't do it for Legend.

I know I did it for all-star because I was playing default all-star and I wanted to compare them

That would be great. Maybe we can incorporate those #s into the first post with the slider set as well.

Re: The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

just finished a game with the newest batch of sliders plus a few tweaks to cut down on what seemed like too many strikeouts for my pitchers. (cpu contact +5, cpu take [all 3] -5)


CLE(ME)/CHW(CPU)
R 2 4
Errors 1 1
Avg. .206 .250
Hits 7 9
1B 5 3
2B 1 3
3B 0 1
HR 1 2
BB 0 0
K 8 9
Pitches 106 97
Balls 27 14
Strikes 79 78
% 84 74

Really fun game overall. Thome crushed a lame fastball that I put about 25% effectiveness on in the 8th. Then Dye hit a complete meatball out in the 9th, so both of these were pretty legit. Carmona and Contreras both had 8K's a piece. I still think that its just a tad to easy to locate the pitches right on the edge.

Re: The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

OK - I have made some changes to these sliders that I'm very happy with

Infielder Reaction speed from -42 to -37 (makes the IF not stand like statues while the ball is in play)

Total Control Pitching from DEFAULT to -20 (too hard to actually throw with control, i was getting crushed by the CPU batters, now I can atleast pitch with some control)

Pitch Speed from DEFAULT to -5 (needed it to be a little slower so I could have a prayer of knowing if the ball would be out of the strike zone)


I am completely fed up with the CPU big hitters all crushing the ball no matter where or what I throw them.....I am gonna start to tinker with the CPU hitting now

Re: The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

Hey you guys getting robbed with all these wild pitches and passed balls. especially when you try to throw any pitch in the lower half of the strikezone. Im not saying these sliders in particular but in general is there a slider to make the catchers not let pitches pass them by.

For me the key is to make sure I am throwing to the catchers glove. If he asks for it low and inside and I want to go outside I reposition the catcher there. I was getting a lot more wild pitches when I threw it where i wanted without moving the catcher. It was almost like I crossed him up by throwing away from where he was set up. YMMV.

I pitch from behind the batter

anybody else pitching from the view?

what are you an idiot just kidding.


The result of these change you should see Custom-A not custom-L. If you see custom-P you changed something too far.

Welcome messy. If @ the end of setting the sliders @ the top it say CUSTOM-A, then everything is fine.

Re: The OS Breakdown of the 2K Slider Theory

Ok i have tried these sliders and like what i am seeing. I have made a few changes to the slider set in regards to cpu and human hitting contact and i am seeing some really good results.

AI Batting contact +12

AI Batting contact -1

Pitcher Difficulty set to default on the legend slider

Try that out folks i have played many games and i am seing lots of variety of hits. I am getting around 8-10 hits a game with around a homer a game.

Keep the good work up joe.
