how do you guys hit your homeruns? Do you use the left stick at all to influence the hitting?

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

i think the Ai power needs to be boosted...I am too not giving up enough runs to the Ai..nor am i giving up enough HRs..maybe like 10 or 15 clicks..other then that these sliders are perfect...I thinkin hitting is dead on ...If you feel like your gettin too many hits raise the Pitcher Difficulty ...other then raising the Ai power i dont kno what else u can do to improve the Ai batting since the skill is 100...try it trinity see what you think...because at 2.45 era is not realistic .. 4 era is where that number should be at...Raising the Ai power should make the Ai more competitive...And bro you have Human power at 50!.. i think that is wayyy too much..i have mine at 20-25...and i am still gettin decent amount of hrs with everyone in my lineup ..the trick is you have to work the count and look for that pitch up in the zone...My only problem like i said is Ai Avg/Power...other then that these sliders are perfect for how i play

Ya.. I have AI power up to 25 right now, I'd hate to raise it much more, but I'll try it at 30 and play a couple games to see what happens. I know my era is low, and that's of the lack of AI HR's I think. To e though, they get plenty of hits, just not the runs for some reason. Cuz if you take the total of 200 hits against, divide that by the 27 games played, you get 7.4 hits/game... that's pretty good I think. So, ya the power will go up to 30 and see what happens.

As for my power... I don't know man, guess its just me, but I can't seem to hit them out of the ballpark for nothing. At 50, so far it's been decent I guess. One thing to remember though is that I am using classic hitting, so that makes a difference I think at the difficulty of hitting them. With swingstick, I think hitting HR's becomes easier... what do you use to hit?? And it seems too that if its too low, I'll never be able to hit a HR with guys that aren't your "normal" everyday HR hitters. Only can hit them with guys like Hafner, Martinez, Ryan Howard, Pujols etc... and really no one else I am able to hit one with. Although in one game I played I hit one with Fokudome from the Cubs, and another game I hit one with Peralta(although he's prolly the best power hitting SS in the league anyway).

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

I use classic hitting too ..i duno im at 25 ..and thru 12 games i have .......

5 hrs with arod
3 abreu ..2 came on opening day ..has hit only one since which was last game
2 jeter
1 damon
1 posada
3 giambi
3 matsui...hit two last game
2 cano
1 betimit
0 duncan
0 melky

..I had one monster game where i had 7hrs while testing the power out at 40..i lead the league in hrs with 18 ..mets are 2nd with 16..but that is realistic ..bc umm..its the yankees

..I work the counts ....i look for pitches up in the zone that i can pull ...Arod seems to hit everything hard ..two of my hrs with him have been low inside pitches..maybe its just my timing ..im not sure..put power at 20-25 around there works fine for me...try to stay away from those low pitches with ur non-power hitters

ok, thanks bro! I'll go to 25 again, and just try to be more patient and look for balls up high in the strikezone... ur stats sound pretty realistic though being that your playing with the yankees... and let's not forget too though that the right field wall is barely over 300 ft as well ther in NY.

Speaking of NY.. anyone almost feel like they sohlud jsut wait till 2k9 to buy the game cuz of the fact that Yankee stadium is gone after this year, and 2k9 will have their new stadium??? I just realized this, and it kinda sucks in a way...

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

Its not letting me edit my first post so..



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.

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

does anyone think the ai skill should be turned down? Cuz some games I'm getting punished... like the other night I gave up 4 bombs to the Phillies... and only one of those homers was a meatball pitch

Skill doesn't have much to do with HRs I dont think by the AI. I would leave skill at 100, cuz that allows for the different hit varities, if it was only 1 game where u gave up 4 HR's, then keep playing a fewe more, and see if it happens again. If it keeps occuring, then I'd just lower AI power, I play it set at 25. But some guys have success at it set between 12-20.

Ok thanks for the help trinity... I love your sliders

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

trin... what do you think of putting ai corner at 75?... and throw strike overall and throw strike behind at 5? I was reading this on DanSF's sliders and he said he was getting good results... like in the 3rd inning 25 balls and 27 strikes with Bronson Arroyo

try it out and see what you think. Personally I think my AI pitching sliders are good the way they are. But try it if you think you can get some good results with them. The only thing about this game is that the strikezone is really big on this game. The umps call strikes that are clearly out of the strikezone all the time, so its really hard to draw a walk, and really really hard to walk a batter. Although, I have had games where those normally called strikes were called balls in the game, and I would draw 3-5 walks that game, and walk 2-3 batters myself. So its really weird the way it does it.

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

Trin..yah i had to turn the take strike up....i played the twins and i know teams are free swingers, but they swung at every first pitch for about 3 or 4 innings to where they were making throw balls on purpose so they wont swing, but every strike no matter corner or what they swung and hit...i caught morneau looking once the whole game...but the umps dont help with their wide *** strike zone for the pc and small one for us users lol

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

Hey, Trinity, enjoy the sliders a lot, I have tweaked them here and there, I have the AI contact up a bit highers than yours, and the power a bit lower, and I am seeing games were I get rocked for 10 runs, and then i won my last one 1-0. But the basis of your sliders are amazing, good work bro!

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

Very minor changes to the sliders!! check them out, see what you think.. and post suggestions! thanks for all the support!
