DanSF49's Bad Back Opening Day Sliders

[DanSF49]

Alright guys these sliders come from 3 full days of testing since I pulled my back out doing some yard work on saturday and haven't done a thing besides play this game. LOL So here is what I did. I set every single slider to 50 and then starting playing games and testing from there. I found a few amazing things during this testing that you will also see when you play with these sliders, such as. New animations, huge variety of hits, great pitcher/hitter battles, low HR totals and the CPU stealing on me with Nick Swisher!!! These are for Swing Stick 2.0 and Total Control Pitching. Give them a try, some sliders may look a little off but try them as is and you might be suprised just like I was. Let me know how it goes.

Great! I have been waiting to see what you would come up with Dan.
A couple of questions, 1. did you adjust from a certain level (all-star, legend)?
2. What batter camera and zoom to you use?
So how many games have you played the past few days??? lol

Jake,

I think I started from Pro since most of the sliders were already at 50 but when you are all done it will be custom-A anyway. As for Cameras I use the Dynamic for the field and Wide with Zoom at 25 for batting. That batting camera is great, because you can tell balls from strikes much better. As for how many games, I couldn't even tell you LOL!! Let me know how you like them.

What does "Batting Influence" affect again?

Re: DanSF49's Bad Back Opening Day Sliders

Batting Influence has to do with how much "Inside Edge" factors into each players batting skill.

Re: DanSF49's Bad Back Opening Day Sliders

So the impact of moving it and up and down would change the gameplay exactly how? Would having it up all the way mean they hit as close to their ratings as possible and make it more realistic?

Thats what is hard to figure with this inside edge thing. We dont really know how accurate it is to real life tendecies when it comes to gameplay with the User controlling. So I like the idea but I also dont want it to take over and all I'm doing is pushing a stick and it just takes over whatever happens. So now its at 25.

Re: DanSF49's Bad Back Opening Day Sliders

I gave these a shot last night Dan and here where my results.
I have tested about 5 different set of sliders on this site and I am getting the same results with every set, low, low, low, scoring games. I am the Reds, I should score about 5-6 runs and hit about 2 hrs in my cracker jack ballpark and I am scoring 2 maybe 3 runs on a good night.
Again I think most of the slider makers on this site (except bigJoe) are setting the human and cpu offensive sliders way too low. Out of the 5 sets I have tried only Joes give me a chanllenge when I pitch, maybe even too much of a challenge. I am not putting down the rest of the slider makers, I appreciate the work you guys do. And I know what your thinking just shut up and use Joes sliders if you like them so much. Well I truly do like trying new sets, I want to use the best set possible and there are things besides offense I dont really like about Joes set.
With all this being said Dan I played 3 games with your set last night, all 3 where games inside my Reds season. I lost to the Cubs 3-1 the first game and then beat them 3-2 and 2-1. Again the Reds and Cubs should score more then 2 or 3 runs per game at Wrigley. I had a total of 17 hits in the 3 games and 1 HR. The Cubs had 18 hits (including only 2 in the second game) and 2 hrs. I can say I did have fun playing the games with this set, its just that I really would like to see alot more offense. I want to feel I have to pitch good to win, I want a challenge. Thanks for this you work Dan.

Re: DanSF49's Bad Back Opening Day Sliders

I gave these a try, and I really liked what I saw. A few suggestions would be:

- With the contact so high there are not a lot of swing and misses, this effects the pitch counts. I would up the AI take strikes sliders about 10 each so that the pitch counts can still get to a decent number

- I also have upped the baserunning speed to 65, i might even go to 70. I think this will open up the game a little more and allow runners to advance more then one base on a base hit. It will also make double plays more difficult.

Overall they play a good game. Lots of variety of hits, not too many HRs. My only real concern is the lack of K's due to the high contact #'s. The CPU doesn't get a lot of hits, but they do make a lot of contact.

I'll continue to work with these.

I was actually thinking of upping the baserunning speed to 70 also. Let me know what else you see that might need tweaking.
