Trinity's FINAL Slider set

[DarthRambo]

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 for everyone's support and working with me to get a pretty good set of sliders...

Suggestions:

Not enough offense= tweak on Human contact, and MAYBE, but not highly reccomended, human Power. If stilll not good enough, as least resort, lower AI Fielding speed and reaction speeds.

Too much offense= Tweak the same sliders, with a tweaking of pitch speed, and MAYBE AI change pitch speed! Human Contact first I would suggest!

Not enough AI offense= Tweak on AI contact, power, and human INF/OF speed, and reaction speeds(lower them)

Too much AI offense= Tweak on the same sliders

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

Man..these sliders work great. i had the first version, played a few games on them. i liked what production I got out of them. These new updated set gave me the best baseball I have ever played in console history. i decided to play as the NATS to build a team. So I said what the heck lets do this.

Loaded up the new sliders made the new franchise, and off to the field I went. Off to Phillie we went. Long story short pitched 6 strong innings with Patterson 7 k's with a 2-0 lead in the 6th. MR came in gave a up a two run HR. So now it is 2-2 btm 6th, going into the 7th. still tied 2-2. Ryan Zimmerman having an insane game doubles in the gap. Kearns comes to the plate. RBI, 2 bagger. Now i lead a team with really no offense at all to a 3-2 lead in the ^ 8th. MR still has trouble getting batter retired, 2 outs, so i thought I would bring in Jon Rauch, runner in the corners. He stands on the mount. For some weird reason i have never seen this before this year playing 2k8. My controller was wigging out. So i looked up at the top screen menu said TENSE. I was like this is CRAZY. Trying to get a fantastic win in the my first game I made the pitch. First off I had planned where I was going to throw and then all of a sudden the ball just came out of the pichers hand a FB low and away......swing and I miss. strike 1...next pitch even more tense FB inside almost hitting my batter, swing and a miss 0-2....so i said lets do this 1 more time FB payoff. Up and tight...strike 3. I was so excited, I had felt like I had really faced that batter my self.

Ended up getting his CARD for a HOLD. and some other cards. With these do you get WILD CARDS.

Sorry for the Thread but I was excited....funny things next came got lit up for an 11-2.loss....

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

From which difficulty did you set these sliders? all-star, legend?

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

And just to make sure, you aim at the pitchers glove and throw every pitch he calls for, right?

[DarthRambo]

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

Yes, I do it for every pitch. Its not exactly there, but around his mit, yes. I am with the Nats as well, and I'm 11-9 so far lol 4.5 games back from the braves. I've simmed about 4 or 5 games, and the cpu won all but 1 game i simmed!

Just to let you alll know, like I said, you're going to have to tweak these to your liking, and well.. I have myself. I was getting way too many doubles, and triples for some reason in certain balparks, so I upped OF speed to 35, may go up to 40. AND, its just me, but I can't hit a HR to save my life! I'm 11-9, and I've played a total of 13 of those. Felipe Lopez leads my team with 3 HR's, and 15 RBI's (at leadoff hitter too!) and I've hit 2 of those myself. Mo Pena, and D. Young only have 2!! total of 15 for the team so far this month. I guess its not too bad, but I figure 3-5 per month for pena and young at least, right?? Anyway, I suck, so I have it at 65 power!! I know its bad, but thats just me, I tend to seing at balls that are low and away too much, and until I hit a ton that are unrealistic, i'll keep it there.

Good luck with the Nats!, their bullpen sucks (other than the closer Cordero).. btw.. Patterson pitches for the rangers now, Odalis Perez pitches for the Nats as #1 pitcher I believe... have to look at their site.

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

Thanks for the roster update. I was'nt to sure how current the 2-08 set was but I do know. Something I can build from. I was looking at signing Freddy to my NATS but let him go one more day on the free agent market and then played my 6th game of the season. The bottom score ticker said Freddy signed with the rangers for 5 years 11.5 million. So I guess I'll look for someone else. Maybe Perez., liked him alot when he played for the dodgers in the early 90's.

I had always wanted to try to play as NATS and make them contenders but always got stuck playing my CA Angels or should I say LAA.

I live in washington state now, so i have a mariners Chise going as well. knowing i'll probably have to beat the Halo's out for the top spot in the AL WEST. If not beat them.

I like to play a NL and AL when i get a ball game so i can play in all the staduims since I'm a baseball nut.

I hate to loose...but i'm going to play all 162 games on both Leagues.

Thank you for at least helping save the game. Pokerlife thanks for oyu work as well.

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

I just played one game with these sliders and I really liked what I saw. I had my best, most enjoyable game to date. The AI finally was competitive on offense, they were getting a variety of hits and were not scoring their runs only on homers.

Looks like you did an great job with your sliders.

Thanks man

I've played over 30 games now, and I've found a set that I'm going to roll with for my franchise! I'm gonna roll with the Nats for a challenge and try to build the team up to a contender. Right now I'm 6-3, with 2 simmed games, that I won both, so that helped!

Suggestions:

Not enough offense= tweak on Human contact, and MAYBE, but not highly reccomended, human Power. If stilll not good enough, as least resort, lower AI Fielding speed and reaction speeds.

How many k's are you getting with these sliders? Im having a hard time k'ing people with these sliders... Im using the Brewers and I have total control pitching... Trin what should I do?

I personally use classic pitching. But from what your saying, I'd try lowering the TCP slider difficulty a little bit first. Maybe your having trouble locating your pitches. I have no trouble striking guys out myself though. I average at least 5k's per game, and usually at least 7 though or more. If that doesn't do it, then lower AI contact, get them to swing and miss more often maybe. But I wouldn't go messin with the AI take strikes and balls sliders though.

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

the AI has thrown about 5 pitches past the catcher in one game. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I like your sliders other than that though. Great job!

Ya.. thats one thing I've noticed about the game. I think its just a little quirk that they went too far with. I have INF erros set at 0, thought that might help, but doesn't seem to. Really don't think there is anything we can do about it though. I've had games where they have done so 3 or 4 times in a game, and others where it doesnt happen. Sorry bro

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

I have actually seen less passed balls with trinity's sliders.

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

Trinity how do you feel about moving the Human and AI foul ball slider to 100?

[DarthRambo]

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

Trinity how do you feel about moving the Human and AI foul ball slider to 100?

I had it at 100 for a long time, and saw that someone was suggesting it to be lower cuz it reduces the amount of pop-ups in the game, as we see a ton in this game for some reason. I think it definately has helped, so I've left it at 65, try it at 100 though, and see what happens. See if the pop-ups are increased or not for you.

Re: Trinity's FINAL Slider set

Trinity,


I have been using Poker's sliders for a few games and I am going to try yours as well. Im trying all the sliders and then trying to mess with them to my liking. I am giving up way to many HR's against the CPU. Most have been outside Fastballs. I have noticed the CPU also rallying alot. Does this happend in alot of games? Then again, I am using Houston who has absolutely no pitching.
