Does anyone have GREAT IF/OF Speed/Reaction Time?

[Pmogs10]

Anyone out there have some great sliders for these HORRIBLE SETTINGS (why in the world wouldnt this all be based on speed of the player ratings, I hate these sliders and I think it ruins alot peoples games).........But anyway, Last year we had these down pat, there would be many hits in the holes, many gappers that were doubles when they were suppose to be and triples with faster players, does anyone have theres where there getting the right results..... these are mine right now but im not sure if there great, if anyone has suggestions or wants to post theres, please reply

Human

IF Speed - 25
OF Speed - 40
IF Reaction - 35
OF Reaction - 45

AI

IF Speed - 30
OF Speed - 45
IF Reaction - 35
OF Reaction - 40

(any chance im way off on these, any help would be amazing)

My speeds are the exact same as last years game, Human reactions are a bit lower as last year I had 45/45 and there was so AI reaction speed in last years version

Re: Does anyone have GREAT IF/OF Speed/Reaction Time?

I've been working on tweaking these as well. Seems to me there are WAY too many spectacular catches by the AI. I don't have my game up right now, but what has really worked well for me has been setting the AI reaction to 0 for both IF and OF. This has allowed hard hit balls to get thru the holes in the infield and somewhat improved hitting into the gaps in the outfield. I'm thinking the OF speed might need to be turned down a bit as they are still getting to a lot of hard hit balls in the gaps.

Re: Does anyone have GREAT IF/OF Speed/Reaction Time?

I only lowered the infield speed and reaction speed for both human and A.I...I freakin' forgot what I set them to though.But I know each was no lower than 30 and no higher than 45.

I only played 2 games with these changes, but I didn't notice any fast paced/jerky movements from any of the infielders.More balls got passed infielders too.In my last game against the O's, most of my hits were from ground balls hit up the middle or through the third baseman & shortstop.

I think these changes are working, because in my first few games I played on the default Legend setting, the A.I got to every groundball.

Re: Does anyone have GREAT IF/OF Speed/Reaction Time?

I'm using:

HUMAN/CPU

IF Speed-40/40
OF Speed-40/40

IF Reaction-10/10
OF Reaction-10/10

Hitting Sliders

HUMAN/CPU

Contact-60/55
Power-85/40
Skill-100/10
Foul balls-Maxed for both

I know the hitting numbers look a little off but I'm getting realistic results and seeing many different hit types.

Skill-100/10

With the CPU at skill 10 are you seeing more misses from the CPU? This is one thing I just can't seem to get yet....CPU misses. They don't seem to strike out much, and it seems when they swing, they always hit the ball unless they are totally crossed up due to a fastball/changeup.

Edit: I'll give those IF/OF a try. Setting AI to 0 for reaction might be too much, but upping that and lowering speed might be a better choice.

Not seeing more misses at all. A realistic amount? Definitely. I will say this, my pitching style is probably different from anyone that plays the game in that I use IE and throw it wherever the catcher wants me too 98% of the time. I've never done this in a baseball game until this year and the results are surprisingly good. My pitch counts are good and walk/strikeout numbers are good as well. Find a setting for the TCP that's comfortable, but not too hard and you'll get great results, but you have to throw where the catcher says to. 3-2 count, the catcher calls for a low and away pitch? Throw it. 2-0 against Manny and he call for heat down the middle? Throw it. Give it a shot. I am getting a good variety of hits from the CPU with the Skill slider at 10. I've been playing games against Detroit, Boston, and New York to see what kinds of results I'd get.

The most homers (from the CPU)I've seen in a game is 4, but I'm averaging around 2. Keep in mind though that those numbers are coming from NYY, BOS, and DET.

The reason I have my batting numbers so high are because of the need to reduce the inordinate amount of slow ground balls and hits with no power at all like lazy fly balls. Even the line drives are slow. I think my ideal power rating is going to be between 75 and 85. Anything higher than 85 and I'll be hitting bombs all over the place.

I'm going to try your AI/Human sliders for hitting and the fielders today or tomorrow.

BTW when you say 40,80 and all that jazz do you mean you have the sliders set to zero and work from there? Just asking for my benefit.

I use pretty much the same, I almost always pitch where the catcher places and use IE as well. But I still don't see many strikeouts....2-3 a game even with a #1. I'm thinking about turning the total control slider down...I've noticed it's extremely hard to get a 90's gesture score with a breaking ball.

I tried your fielding settings and they seem pretty good. I still might lower the anticipation for the AI to 5....seems they still get to hard hit balls too easily.

That is correct from ZERO.

What do you have TCP set at right now? I think I'm at something like 50. I would find a setting where it's just a bit of a challenge but, you can work most of the time.

Honestly though, I don't pay much attention to the gesture score because when I look at what's supposed to be the representation of what I did with the RS, it's pretty much always wrong. It doesn't even recognize certain movements even though I did complete them.

I try to concentrate on releasing in the green. With these settings the CPU doesn't mash every meatball either. Even the big hitters miss at times.

I almost forgot. Another to check are your AI take pitch settings.

Here's what I have:

Take Strike Overall-50
Take Strike Ahead-65
Take Strike Behind-50
Take Ball Overall-65
Take Ball Ahead-55
Take Ball Behind-50

I'm still working on these though. I average about 5K's per game and I get more with better pitchers like Zambrano. I usually walk 2-3 batters per game too even though the Catcher requests about 90% of the pitches to be out of the zone.

I've got it higher than 50, more like 65. I found with it at 50 I was getting too many perfect releases and whatnot. And I made a mistake, it wasn't gesture but effort. I've noticed that when I goto the pitching tutorial with the TCP slider set higher, it's near impossible to get 90+ effort with a pitch which I'm thinking is affecting my strikeouts.

I'll take a look at your AI Batting settings and compare them with mine in a bit (watching NASCAR). These are exactly what I was looking into messing with next to attempt to get a few more strikeouts. I think those might be the key I'm looking for.

Also, did they take out the blue/red, balls and strikes from the catchers calls this year? I can't seem to find where this is displayed on the screen.

If you use Classic Pitching, it's there. I haven't figured out how to tell if the catcher is calling for a ball or strike with the new pitching mechanic. Sometimes it's obvious because of his setup but, at times, even in Classic pitching, he'll request a ball but set up in the strike zone. I throw a ball anyway.

I just finished a game:

Dodgers 7 Padres (me) 0

Dodgers got solo shots from Kemp and Loney. It was 3-0 until the 8th when I hit a batter
with the bases loaded and Ethier hit a 3 run double. The Dodgers had 6 singles, 3 doubles, 1 triple, and 2 bombs.

I had 5 hits. Had my power setting at 85 and saw nothing but weak hits even when I know I made good contact. All ground balls until the 8th when Giles hit a double to left and Edmonds doubled to the LC gap in the 9th.


Total pitches: LA-122 (walked 3) SD-127 (walked 2)

Do you think pitch speed has anything to do with how hard balls are hit?

Re: Does anyone have GREAT IF/OF Speed/Reaction Time?

Okay, I wanted to adjust the settings for this because the computer definitely makes too many spectacular plays. So I go into the difficulty settings, go to AI, and...there's no AI infielder/outfielder reaction. There's infielder/outfielder speed but not reaction. The reaction is also there for the Human settings, but not for AI.

Am I looking in the wrong place? Or is this yet another feature that was left out of the Wii version.

Well you ARE the Padres. They're not exactly a power hitting team. Try another team and if you get the same results then maybe jack up the power to 90?

I was thinking the same thing throughout the game
