Trinity,

What are you doing when the catcher calls for a ball but he sets up in the zone. Do you reposition him?

[DarthRambo]

Re: Trinity's CLASSIC pitching/throwing AND batting Custom-A sliders

Trinity,

What are you doing when the catcher calls for a ball but he sets up in the zone. Do you reposition him?

Well... it seems like the catcher is always calling for a ball for some reason (pitch is flashing blue around icon), so if he's on the edge of a corner, i'll throw it slightly off the plate in that direction. I really wish I could get IE for all these batters right away.. why it only allows to to buy for the star batters ONLY I don't know. Cuz when you have it, it really shows up.. the icon with flash red on the outside of the pitch type selection if he wants you to throw a strike, and blue if he wants you to throw a ball... then you just throw right in the center of his mit!

w/o IE.. its difficult to do.. just kinda make ur best judgement.. most of the time though I throw outside the plate (70-80%)...

I'm playing a game versus the Angels right now, and I just got into the 4th inning... CLE- 6 9 1
LAA-0 0 1

Fluke that i'm hitting this well?? I only had 1 solo HR with Dellucci most came from doubles in the gaps... Weaver is gettin tore up... 58 pitches thrown already! I already upped the Pitching Difficulty to 65 from 60 during this game.. see what happens from here.. i'll kee you updated. BTW.. do you know how or when you're able to purchase the IE on all batters for a team?? I don't buy pitchers, think that would make it too easy.. and only want it for batters to use catchers suggestions more properly, and easier... should make it tougher and more realistic!

Next Game

NYY-9-12-1
BOS-0-4-1

HR's-Cano, Abreu
2Bs-Youkilis(2) Matsui, Cano, ARod

WP-Chamberlain (CG) LP-Bucholz


The Yankees got 8 of the 9 runs in the first 4 innings. I notices that my Take Ball sliders were significantly higher than yours. I changed them to what you have (they may need to be higher) for the top of the 5th and gave up 1 run the rest of the game. I threw 137 pitches in the game and walked 5 batters. I also used Precision pitching with Pinpoint control.

Joba had the Sox off balance all day. Couldn't get a read on his pitches. I need to improve my offense.

That's pretty realistic though with most runs coming within a few innings, then its 0's for a while.. game I'm playing now I got 7 my 7 runs within the first 4 innings, had nothing since and I'm in the 7th. LAA came back thanks to Vlad's 3 run HR with 2 outs in the 5th, so its 7-5 now.. great game so far.

BTW.. I turned down human power to 15 now... will make changes on first pager in a bit

Re: Trinity's CLASSIC pitching/throwing AND batting Custom-A sliders

Finished game..

CLE- 7 10 2
LAA- 6 6 1

WP- Carmona with CG! 86 pitches thrown 26 balls, 60 strikes (they swung at alot of my first pitches.

Going to update my sliders again.. found INF and OF reaction needs to be lowered...

[DarthRambo]

Re: Trinity's CLASSIC pitching/throwing AND batting Custom-A sliders

Update sliders again.. NEW changes are in Bold BLACK with first and 2nd changes in regular font.. and the 3rd changes are still left on there in Bold BLUE... you all will get the gang of it.. going to only make last 2 updates of where and why seen.

Thanks for the updates but, you have to play a few games with 1 set. If you continue to change them game after game, you'll be chasing the right combo until 2K9 comes out

Re: Trinity's CLASSIC pitching/throwing AND batting Custom-A sliders

Next Game...

CLE- 4 9 1
LAA- 3 6 1

Great and exciting game!! I really think I got the sliders down pact now! Westbrook went out early with "back spasms" so that sucks... must put injuries back down to 55 i guess, cuz it happened the first game i had them at 60 so go figure...

3 HR's total, 1 each by Hafner and Sizemore, and 1 from Vlad.

Really didn't notice anything to change at all this game as far as sliders go.. I think I've finally found the "perfect" set for me.. Wil play 3-4 more games with these and see if I can get some variety of different types of games. I should seeing that my last 2 games were 4-3, and 7-5 scores.

Re: Trinity's CLASSIC pitching/throwing AND batting Custom-A sliders

Last game of the night

NYY 4-5-0
BOS 5-11-1

HRs-Manny, ARod
2Bs-Youkilis, Lowell, Varitek, Giambi, Cano, ARod

WP-Papelbon (Blown Save) LP-Henn

I walked 7 batters and had 3K's. NY pitchers walked 2 batters and had 3K's. I threw 126 (55% Strikes) pitches and the Yankees threw 109 (67% strikes).

The sliders are playing very well for my style of play. BTW, I've had the injury slider at 30 or 35 for for awhile now. I get a realistic amount of injuries.

Does that 30-35 injury rating count and go for simulated game injuries too, or just the ones that are played??

I haven't simulated any games yet. Sorry.

Re: Trinity's CLASSIC pitching/throwing AND batting Custom-A sliders

Almost played through a whole game (system froze on me). First impressions are really good. It was the bottom of the 8th with CLE beating me (CHW) 1-0. Sabathia and Buehrle were both dominant for the most part, except not enough K's for Sabathia. It felt very realistic and would have been the most enjoyable games I've played if I could have finished it.

I can attest to a lower setting for injuries as well. Having it set around 50 has given me "spurts" of injuries that seem unrealistic. I lost 3 outfielders due to wrist injuries in 2 games, along with a pitcher and my SS.

Re: Trinity's CLASSIC pitching/throwing AND batting Custom-A sliders

First off.. I use classic throwing and batting interfaces, with pinpoint pitch aim, and precision pitching interface.

All #'s are the # of "clicks" from left to right on slider, starting from ZERO!!! Thanks to community for base sliders to work off of, as I am still tweaking these a bit myself.

Thanks to "GoBucks" sliders. I got some good ideas to help my sliders out! See new changes in Bold BLACK

Human

Skill-100
Contact-85
Power-15 (Have 3 HR's with Hafner already in 4 games played... Just too many for my liking.. had 2 HR's in the last game alone in Oakland! which I don't think is a hitters park at all... see what happens!)
Foul Frequency-100
Influence-30
Step-50
Pitcher Difficulty-60
Bunt Assistance-50
Bunt for hit-50
Baserunning SPD-90
Steal Sucess-40
INF Errors-8
OF Errors-5
Throw Meter Difficulty-0
INF Speed-25
OF Speed-35
INF Reaction-25 (was catching hard liners that I don't think should be caught every single time like they have been)
OF Reaction-25
Fielding Aggression-8(Tired of seeing cpu jumping up grabbing balls at the wall with not so good fielders... this should tone this down alot! I remember 2k7 I had to do this ino rder to stop the robbing of HR's!!!)
Pitcher Fatigue-72
TCP-0
Injuries-55
Pitch Speed-50

AI

INF Errors-8
OF Errors-5
INF Speed-25
OF Speed-35
Fielding Aggression-8(Sames reason as change with Human.. also, it should help my batting averages.. been under .200 as a team in every game I played.. as has the cpu been under .200 as well.. this.. I'm thinking will help!)
Hit 'N Run-80 (Still have yet to see any attempted in many games played, so I'm raising it up 5)
Sac Bunt-50
Squeeze-50
Run Aggression-50
Steal Sucess-65
2nd-100
3rd-75
Diveback-35
INF Reaction Speed-15
OF Reaction Speed-25

AI Batting

Inside Edge-ON
Take strike Overall-60
Take strike Ahead-55
Take Strike Behind-65 (Strike-zone is ridicously big on this game, so I had to bring it down.. was getting strikeouts on no-swings at balls which were called strikes!!!)
Take Ball Overall-65
Take Ball ahead-70
Take Ball Behind-65
Skill-100
Contact-45
Power-12 (With it being so low, and with combination of Skill being very high, # of HR's are more realistic)
Foul Frequency-100
Bunt for hit-50

AI Pitching

Inside Edge-ON
Corner-35
Change Speed-55
Throw Strike Overall-10 (Strike % was only 55% last game... I either have a good eye.. or this stat needed to come up.. I chose this! This should also help with my batting average as well.. will give me more "hittable" balls to put in play...)
Throw Strike Ahead-5
Throw Strike Behind-10 (May raise these 2 settings up to 15 after next game.. if strike % is at least 60% I will! UPDATE: strike % went wayyy up.. brought back down, as I tihnk my hitting was too easy cuz the amount of balls thrown in strikezone)
Fatigue-72
Pickoff-50
Pitchout-50
Meat Pitch-10

Let me know how these do for you all, i'll try my best to keep you updated, any tips or helpful ideas for be appreciated!

PLZ tests these you all! I'm counting on the feedback to better the sliders.. lemme know what may need changed.. what you have done as well to help your game out to make it as realistic as possible!!

what difficulty setting are you starting from
