Amazin86er's Final All Star Sim(but yet still fun)Custom Settings and Sliders 3.0----------

My question to you fellow 2K8er's is do you want a game that has the following:
**deep pitch counts
**walks
**stolen bases!!!
**singles, doubles, triples
**hits sprayed all over the field
**no homerun slugfest!!!
**intense batter pitcher duels
**diving catches and intense competition from the AI(squeeze plays, hit and runs, and more!)
If this is what you want in a baseball game then set the game up as follows!!!!!

Presentation----------
!!!!!Turn strikezone on for Human Hitters!!!!!
Everything else is user preference.


VIP General----------
Vibration: Off*****
Fielding Camera: Aerial*****
Hitting Camera: Wide*****
Zoom: 100*****
Pitching Camera: Pitcher
In-Game Tips: Off
Inside Edge Reminder: Off

*****Vibration is off because it only makes pitching harder than it needs to be and serves no other purpose.

*****Using the Aerial Fielding Camera changes the game in ways you might not think of such as diving for a line drive and saving the game or going for the extra base on a ball hit in the gap, down the line, or a bloop hit. The broader view of the field allows you to see more from a strategy standpoint. It really opens the game up.

*****Using the regular Wide Hitting Camera and 100 Zoom allow you to really adjust to different pitch types and velocity. This also adds to the realism and immersion factor of actually having an atbat. Be sure to turn strikezone on for Human Hitters.


VIP Controls----------
Controls: Custom
Pitching Interface: Total Control
Pitch Aim: Breakpoint
Pitcher Composure: On
Batting Interface: Swing Stick 2.0
Throwing Interface: Total Control
Batter's Eye: Off
Batter's Eye Feedback: Off

Catcher Suggestions: On*****
Auto-round Bases: On

*****Catcher suggestions is on for a realism effect but sometimes you may actually want to use the suggestion.

Re: Amazin86er's Final All Star Sim(but yet still fun)Custom Settings and Sliders 3.0

yo i wanna know what are ur stats for u games?? just to see if they are worth tryin and using

[Amazin]

Re: Amazin86er's Final All Star Sim(but yet still fun)Custom Settings and Sliders 3.0

Well I have been playing all night with these and my last 5 games go like this:

1-0 W Rays vs Twins, Kazmir vs Liriano, I had 4 hits Twins had 7, no
hr's were hit, I had 5 walks

9-4 W Mets vs White Sox, Martinez vs Vasquez, I had 12 hits, 2hr's by both teams, I had 2 walks, White Sox had a stolen base

4-3 L Mets vs Indians, Perez vs Byrd, I had 8 hits, Indians hit 1 hr and had 9 hits and a stolen base, I had 3 walks, lost game in bottom of ninth

6-4 L Mets vs Angels, Maine vs Garland, I had 9 hits Angels had 11 hits and 2 stolen bases, I had 3 walks, no hr's were hit

6-3 W Mets vs Yankees, Santana vs Wang, I had 10 hits Yankees had 7, I had 2 walks, each team hit a hr

Game now plays a good game of baseball but you have to pitch wisely by keeping hitters off balance and using the right match ups in the late innings just like you would in real life. Don't judge these sliders on one game, I would say 5-10 games would give you a pretty good idea and use different types of pitchers not just #1's and #2's.

there are outstanding

Re: Amazin86er's Final All Star Sim(but yet still fun)Custom Settings and Sliders 3.0

Can someone explain to me how the Orioles can be ranked 30th overall and be so tough. I mean I just beat them 5-2 but I could only manage 6 hits plus 4 walks. Thank god for Moises Alou who hit a solo homer early and a 3 run shot late.

So in two games against the Orioles pitching I managed 10 hits overall and their lineup is no day at the park, unbelievable. So after about 100 games played I can easily say the Orioles have been one of the tougher teams.

Anyways I think I am going to make some adjustments:

AI Take Strike Overall 65
AI Take Ball Overall 65
Human Infielder and Outfielder Errors 30
AI Infielder and Outfielder Errors 30

I gave these a try last night and they are pretty good, there maybe a little too much offense.
The first game I was Cincy at LAD, I lost the game 8-4. I took me about 7 innings to start hitting because of the zoom camera that you use. Again I lost 8-4, I had 10 hits and they cpu had 14.
The second game I was the CHI WS and I beat the Orioles 9-2, I had 10 hits and 3 HRS while the cpu had 10 hits and no HRS. I pitched a complete game with Beurle, I was hitting my spots betting good with him.
A couple of things I wanted to say is the zoom 100 batting angle is great once you get use to it and I love the arial fielding camera! I struggled with fly balls at first with the arial camera but once you get use to it, it is great.
I will have to play a couple more games tonight and get back with you.

1st game with me. Yanks(me) 14 vs. Angels 8

Yanks- 9 doubles, 1 Triple, 6 HR's
Angels- 4 Doubles, 1 Triple, 5 HR's

Using the Yankees you will hit more hrs but you should not be giving up that many especially to the Angels. Need to hit your spots better.

Are you using the exact slider settings because I have yet to have any game play out like that with this slider set?

[rmcguire]

Re: Amazin86er's Final All Star Sim(but yet still fun)Custom Settings and Sliders 3.0

this is by far the best slider set Ive used...played a great game last night Phillies/Rockies, I lost 6-4, no HR's which I like..there were some close ones, Holliday robbed Utley of a homer, but yes it seems as though Im getting a lot of doubles and in the gap hits.

Im by no means complaining as this is the best set I've used so far in dealing with the hr issue...good work

[Amazin]

Re: Amazin86er's Final All Star Sim(but yet still fun)Custom Settings and Sliders 3.0

Happy to hear some really like this set and are getting good results as I am. One thing though I seem to have a power outage outside of Moises Alou and an occasional homerun by Carlos Delgado. I mean David Wright hits line drives and Carlos Beltran hits warning track fly balls. No one else even comes close. I am not complaining because less homeruns is more realistic but an adjustment somewhere might need to be made. Someone using the Yankees, Red Sox, or Tigers may want to lower Human Power, but first I would try raising pitch speed or pitcher difficulty before messing with Human Hitter Sliders.

Yea bud exact. Not to toot my own horn but I tend to score a ton of runs with most slider sets. The part I'm not used to is getting ripped like that hehe, cuz I do hit my spots! All told its just one game, I will play a few more and check back in later. Thanks for all the work! Grab

Wasn't really ripping you but I guess I should have worded it differently. My question is because the Angels arn't really a power hitting club did you throw meatballs when they hit hrs and who was pitching? Like I have said before give it a good 5-10 games to evaluate and after that if you still are seeing to many hrs you may want to lower Human Power, but first I would try raising pitch speed or pitcher difficulty before messing with Human Hitter Sliders. For the AI maybe drop power to 10-12.

Yanks- 9 doubles, 1 Triple, 6 HR's
Angels- 4 Doubles, 1 Triple, 5 HR's

Game 2 same teams
Yanks 4 Angels 3 (Walk off HR by Cano)
Yanks 2 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR's
Angels 3 Doubles.
Tough game had a blast! Lackey was tough, I think I hit bad pitching very well as good pitchers seem to nibble more and leave less up in the zone(go figure). Will continue to post results.

Re: Amazin86er's Final All Star Sim(but yet still fun)Custom Settings and Sliders 3.0

Feeling a bit guilty after what I just did to the Rangers.

NYY 20 Tx. 0
Pettitte threw a 2 hitter
27 hits total for the Empire, 10 doubles, 4 triples, 4 HR's(GS by Jeter) Giambi hit for the cycle.
Gonna up the pitcher difficulty me thinks, will report back.
