This is in-correct. Pitchers Fatigue faster the higher you set the slider

I was wondering because Smoltz with Stamina Rating of 92 seem to get tired way to quick. Thanks Joe I have now be able to adjust fatigue to my liking. Also these sliders have been working very well for me of course I have made a few minor adjustments. However you provided a great starting point. I am drawing walks and getting good pitch counts. Also I turned the strike zone off so when I am pitching and hitting it makes it a little tougher. With it off I actually walked a couple of guys myself.

i do 3 step pitching to and i learned that if u lower release step timing down some it works better, if u have it on 100 they seem to crush the ball everytime u miss

that is good to know, it seems like using three step pitching the cpu actually made contact with my curves instead of swinging and missing.

In a nice game right now top 6 2-2 Yanks VS. Pale Holes. A-ROD hit a 2-run BOMB in the 1st of Burhle. Sox chip away with 1 in the 4th & 1 in the 5th of CC. Both teams have 6 hits..

I was wondering if anyone was going to play out a few weeks of a franchise to see if the stats were still realistic?

Re: "OS & BFJ" Present MLB 2K9 Spring Training Sliders

Gotta love the in-game saves.. Took a break. Fired the game back-up. Sox take the lead by scoring 3 in the 6th. Take a 5-2 lead. Yanks answer with 2 of their own on a Cano 2 run shot. 5-4 bottom 7. Both starters are out

We'll after tying the game on a Nady Solo Shot in the 8th, my manging the bullpen has blown-up in my face & the sox have now blown the game open 9-5 & still batting in the 8th..

EDIT: Lose the game as I go down without a fight in the 9th...

SOX: 9/17/0 (13 singles & 4 doubles) SO-5 Pitch Count: 92
YANKS: 5/11/1 (7 singles, 1 double & 3 hr) SO-3 Pitch Count: 82

bfj,

Apologize about that mistake, regarding the pitcher fatigue.

Impressive game, you mentioned.

Been using your sliders recently and had an outrageous game. Washington Nationals (myself) against the Florida Marlins. It was 8-1 Marlins, until the 9th. My team had 2 hits, 1 HR, then we rallied a 6 run 9th inning. Right when my hopes were down, it as amazing.

Ha!

But lost 8-7. Marlins had 14 hits, I had 9 myself. Their starting pitching was fantastic until they went to the pen. I was held to 2 hits until, they went to the pen and then it broke lose.

Enjoying your sliders, I drew 1 BB. Looking forward to the second game of that series.

Edited: Does anyone realize this when the dynamic locator is on the 'locked' option. TWICE! My outfielders got in position for a fly ball and it flew over their heads. One of them cost me in giving up a inside-the-parker. Just curious if anyone has experienced this?

Bfj,

First full game with your updated sliders along with a few tweaks to the HUM & CPU batting by me. Here are my stats

Score: Phi (Me) 2 - Atl (Cpu) 4

Singles:7,7
Doubles:4,1
Triples:0,0
HR's:1,1
Strikeouts:3,3
Pitch Count:77,104
Balls Pitched:10,30
Strikes Pitched:67,74
Errors:0,1

The game was crazy fun. Had the 2-0 lead going into the top of the 9th pitching an absolute gem with Hamels. Got to the top of the order and thats where I lost it. They had 1 on base with Chipper up to bat and thats when I brought in my closer. Needless to say thats when it all went wrong. I was making bad pitches for some reason (Probably due to the fact that it was gonna be my first win and got nervous). All in all it was a fantastic experience with the CPU not going nuts on the bat and by earning the runs fairly. Can't wait to get game 2 going. Thanks again for the sliders man!

Changes I made were as follows to your sliders:

Human Batting:
BS 50
BC 50
BP 60

CPU Batting:
BS 40
BC 35
BP 50

Re: "OS & BFJ" Present MLB 2K9 Spring Training Sliders

These are some great sliders. Im having some really close competitive games with em. The only issue im seeing is that the AI is way too swing happy. Im only throwing about 10 pitches per inning because the AI doesn't take anything.

I am seeing the same thing, too much AI swinging. But I do like the fielding speed and hit variety. Pitch speed too slow, and not enough pitch variety though. I have now combined my sliders with these and will be testing some more. Has anyone seen any errors with the slider at 0?

I haven't seen any errors by the CPU yet but my team has committed their fair share.
