Amazin86er's All Star Custom Settings and Sliders

Re: Amazin86er's All Star Custom Settings and Sliders

Well I played 5 games yesterday with the 2.0 set and they played a good game of baseball and today it is almost impossible to get through an inning without giving up a run. Finding the right settings for AI Skill, Contact, and Power seems impossible. They either don't score at all or score too much so I give up. If someone finds a good balance for AI Hitters please let me know. At this point I have a better experience playing RBI Baseball or Baseball Stars. I really just want a game that is fun and is not a homerun derby. By the way I deleted the 2.0 version of the sliders so no one goes to the trouble of configuring the sliders only to find MLB SLUGFEST.

I'm using very similar hitting sliders and they work pretty well for me too. Mine are (in the top to bottom order of yours) 50/30/50/25 for human and 50/35/25 for CPU. This seems like a happy medium where the CPU makes you pay for mistakes to a realistic degree. Pitch speed and total control pitching has an effect too. If pitch speed is too high, it seems like you fall into the trap where the CPU either goes deep or hits a soft single. If it's too low, hitting is too easy. Total control pitching should be based on your skillset. If too low, you'll make a perfect pitch everytime, which is not realistic. Too hard and you'll be serving up meatballs consistently.

I implemented the 2.0 sliders into my Cubs franchise and I am loving them. I have won 2 games already without having to hit a homerun. The games went into extra innings too. Most of the hits were singles up the middle with a few gap doubles. I really think you are onto something with the 2.0 sliders and maybe a few tweaking is needed if even. Keep up the good work!

These settings and sliders should make for a fairly realistic game of baseball. What I have tried to accomplish is reduce the amount of homeruns hit, get a more variety of hits which allows for other ways to score, deep pitch counts, and fielders that react properly and take the correct routes on balls put in play. There is only so much you can do with this game engine before making sacrifices in other areas.

Re: Amazin86er's All Star Custom Settings and Sliders

Ok i may be onto something for cpu hitting. I played a few games with these sliders and they seem pretty good so far.

CPU Skill 65
CPU Contact 35
CPU Power 40

Give those a shot and let me know what you think.
