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

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.

I just don't understand how some of you are getting these results. Maybe my worst fear has come true and my Mets are going to be offensively challenged in 2008 as they were most of 2007.

Amazin, have you ever walked a batter with this settings? Total control pitching at 55 seems a little bit easy......

Yes I have, be very careful raising Total Pitch Control because with these AI Hitter settings meatballs will probably turn into homeruns. My biggest gripe with this game is the AI Hitters will not swing at pitches out of the strikezone. I have seen some swings and misses at pitches up but that is it so it is almost pointless to throw balls other than to keep hitters off balance and for realism.

Just had a great game vs. the Rangers.
me- 10 hits(4 2B, 1 HR), them- 8 hits(3 2B)
Added 15 to Pitcher Difficulty and 5 to Pitch Speed.
Still felt I had power, just tough to hit, lovin' it.

Glad you found a combination you could enjoy, maybe I'll do the same if I ever begin to actually hit again.

Gonna have to try these out tommorrow

i think these sliders are great for AI Hitting...i could never find a good balance between a variety of hits without giving up an avg of 3 HRs per game....I do however think my offense is a bit high...i might just increase the pitch speed...but i really like these sliders...Thanks for your hardwork man

ohhh and BTW...i drew 5 walks in one game, could have had more if I was a little more patient but that was fantastic.

Has anybody found out if it matters if you use the Swing Stick 2.0 or Classic hitting? I am just not a big fan of the swing stick, it is really awkward to me.

I have not used classic hitting with these so I don't know what kind of results you would get, but it can't hurt to try. Also Trinity120 has a slider set for classic pitching, fielding, and hitting you might want to try.

If some of you are finding these too easy try raising Total Pitch Control to get more offense from the AI and also make pitching more difficult, and raise Pitcher Difficulty and Pitch Speed to make Human hitting tougher.

I like theese sliders Jose Reyes got 2 bunt hits in one game on me and for the first time ever I seen the CPU attempt a suicide squeeze and succeed against me. First game I lost the mets 5-3 second game I beat the mets 4-3 and last game I played I beat the Rockies 4-1 very good hit variety from the cpu and myself very few home runs only 2 so far for me a leadoff shot by Soriano in game 2 and a 2 run shot by D Lee last game and the cpu has hit 2 as well one by Beltran in Game 1 and 1 by Tulowitzki last game

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

I have changed AI Take Overall Strike to 70 to hopefully get the AI Hitters to stop swinging at so many first pitches of an atbat. I have also changed AI Take Ball Overall to 50 to hopefully get the AI Hitters to swing at more balls off the plate(still looking for that magic number).

I have played about 8 games with these sliders the last few days and they are a pretty good set. With that being said it is a little too easy to hit with this set. The thing that needs to be toned down if the base hits not the hrs. I am ave. about 15 hits a game with these sliders. I am only hitting about 2 hrs a game, so again I thinks it is too easy to get base hits.
As for as the cpu hitting goes they may need a slight boost but not much of one. The cpu is not having a hard time hitting hrs off me, but they do have a trouble scoring runs. Again I am in no way bashing this set, I think they are really good. I just dont like getting 15 hits a game.

I would suggest raising Pitcher Difficulty and Pitch Speed to tone down Human Hitters. Also you could slightly raise AI Skill and Total Control Pitching(if you throw meatballs they will probably end up in the stands)to get more offense from the AI.

Another option to tone down Human hitters would be to raise Step Influence to 25(have not tested).

My team-NY Yankees, I have not tested these little tweaks to Amazin's great sliders with any other team.
I was rockin' the ball with these at default and have tweaked them for a nice balance. One thing, you will crush bad pitching(Orioles staff) and will be hard pressed to get a ball out of the infield against a great staff(Red Sox) just as I think it should be. Its nice to get shut down every once in a while(sometimes for a 3 game set). I have also noticed rivalry games can get pretty intense.
My small edits;
Batting skill- was 80, mine 77
Batting Contact- was 50, mine 45
Batting Power- was 30, mine 28
Step Influence- was 0, mine 25
Pitcher Difficulty- was 75, mine 90
Pitch Speed- was 50, mine 60 (try hitting off Nolan Ryan)
Thats it, small tweaks for the most part, thanks to Amazin for making this game a true sim. Grab
