SFGiantsPBA's Sliders

Re: SFGiantsPBA's Sliders

I have tested the V.5 sliders in 3 exhibition games so far... 1st game was Ollie Perez VS the phillies, at Citizens Bank Park, I gave up 4 runs with ollie in one inning with a 2 run homer by Ibanez.. Ollie settled down the rest of the game I went about 6 innings with him. Cole Hamels pitched for the phillies, gave up 2 runs then he was pulled out of the game for no reason !? I dont know why, but Chan Ho Park relieved him and the game was 4-2 up until i tied it the 8th with a 2 run bomb by David Wright, but then in the bottom of the 8th with Putz I gave up a 2 run homer to Ibanez again to opposite field and lost 6-4. It was a great game though!

2nd Game Ollie Perez VS Dodgers @ Citi Field

I dominated this game, hit homers with David Wright and Carlos Delgado while only giving up 1 run through 7 Innings while striking out 6 with Ollie.
Once again Chad Billinglsey for the Dodgers was pulled in like the 2nd or 3rd inning after only giving up 3 runs! Why did this happen again? Can anyone explain?

I went on to win this game 8-1 with the strength of 19 hits !

3rd Game Mike Pelfrey VS Rangers (@ Rangers)

Milwood went for the rangers, i hit a solo homer against him with Delgado, it was a 1-0 game until i gave up a 2 run blast on a 3-0 count to Josh Hamilton late in the game still with Pelfrey (7th inning i think)
I wound up taking a 4-2 lead and closing it with K-Rod.

well I'm guessing you won't homer with anyone but Wright and Delgado.

Bull**** your just negative!

I have homered with Renteria, Molina and with v5 Brain Roberts.

Re: SFGiantsPBA's Sliders

Just wanted to give some statistics, I lowered the power to 90 myself, 95 for the AI. It seemed when I would be up, even by 1 run the other team would have a rally. But, the same thing my way. Except instead of rallying, one of my players would hit a homer. There were 5 in this game, all from my team.

Braves @ Phillies

ATL 8 16 2
PHIL 9 17 2


Home Runs
ATL - Johnson (2), Jones, McCann, Diaz
PHIL - None

I think the power should be lowered even more, even though the other team had no homers there were many close calls. Most of their close calls would hit off the wall. Also, any high and inside pitch, %70 of the time I jacked it over the wall.

But going to play a second game, between these 2 teams so see another game perspective with these sliders. I gave up the last run on the pitch-hit single in the bottom of the 9th. The game was exciting, but I would prefer not as many homers.

I did enjoy the game though, just the power was the negative. I might lower it more if I see it in the second game.

Good job, SF.


PS: In the other simulated games, Mets scored 26 runs on the Reds? How is that possible. Bah!

Re: SFGiantsPBA's Sliders

so if I use the left directional hitting stick will these sliders still work?

hmmmm, looks a little hit happy. i'm hoping we can eventually just to find a set of sliders where you have this once every 10 games maybe and then the other games you get lower scores just some realistic variability. Going on almost 2 years now that I have been unable to find a realistic set of sliders for this game.

They aren't bad. It is a reasonable hit/run ratio. 5 of my runs were solo shots, there were not many sacrifices. Going to play a second game and post them very soon.

Good thing with these sliders is, there is alot of room to just bump the AI pitch sucess up, which would lower your hits. Then you could lower the CPU batting sucess down to lower the AI's.

so the sliders, they need to keep being tinkered..... we're what 18 pages into this and we're still tinkering...... you know what that means? The game is broken. It doesn't matter which sliders you guys implement (and some might provide you good gameplay that you enjoy) but you're a better man than me.

None of this feels real, there is something wrong with every set and I've pointed it out along the way. I'm an avid baseball fan and sim gamer and none of this feels right.

You know, what, we get it. You don't like the game. Go play something else. I'm sure I'm not the only one that is tired of seeing every other post in this thread be by JayBruce talking about how bad these sliders are or how bad the game is. At some point, criticism stops being constructive and you passed that point a long time ago. You've said it, we get it. You don't like the game. Cool. I don't need to read it anymore. Some people like the game. LEt them enjoy instead of trying to convince them the game is bad. If everyone shares in you misery, does that make you feel better or something?

To the sliders. I'm seeing a few too many errors with this set. I've had 10 cpu errors in my last 3 games here. I know you need a bigger sample size to make definitive statements, but I'm just commenting on the trend I'm seeing. I've seen plenty of called strikes though, had two for K's in my last game.

Re: SFGiantsPBA's Sliders

Posting my results from my second game, but want to reply to JayBruce's comments. I agree that the sliders aren't the greatest, but you see any other baseball game THIS YEAR for the 360? Nope, so you have to live with what you got and make the best of it.

I appreciate the time these guys (bigfnjoe, guru, SFgiants), put into making the game better for everyone.

I'm not blaming the sliders, I know the game is broken in aspects.

Now onto the stats, for my second contest. Same teams as the first round.

Braves @ Phillies

ATL 11 15 0
PHIL 3 15 1

Home Runs
ATL - Jones
PHIL - Rollins

Now the good thing was, not so many power shots. Having trouble getting some K's, AI usually hits on the first pitch. But I understand, IT IS THE GAME. Ha! But the hit/run ratio for the Phillies wasn't too great. But did manage to get out of some BIG spots in the game.

Overall decent game in my mind.

There is never going to be a perfect universal slider set because everybody's skill level is different therefore everybody's results are going to be different. Why not try to find a slider set for yourself that works for YOU? Because it's easier to piss and moan and be a whiny little female dog, that's why.

Re: SFGiantsPBA's Sliders

Since I have a PS3 and enjoying both games, but I am waiting for the patch to come out to start playing MLB 2k9 again. SF has the best and most realistic sliders but something isn't right, so I am going to wait for the patch and play The Show for now, which is a great game but I wanted to play something different this year and I like 2k9 outting but needs to be patched big time.

I absolutely agree 100%. I'm sick of seeing his posts and how negative they are. Posts like that can completely ruin the game for people which is an A-hole move because they spent 60$ on the game just like everyone else. It isn't fair to try and ruin the experience for everyone else.

As for SFGiants sliders he works his butt off on them along with everyone else in this thread who gives him feedback. So guys like Jay Bruce shouldn't be complaining in this thread about how the game is crap and its broken because people keep changing sliders around. There is an impressions thread for all of that crap. There is no need to bring it into this slider thread because it has nothing to do with helping out with the sliders or providing feedback on the sliders.

Just a suggestion for you Jay Bruce and others who type negative crap go buy a PS3 and The Show and get the hell off the MLB2k9 forum. There are already enough negative threads on here.

BTW good job guys on the sliders I have been kind of jumping around with SFGiants and BFGJoes. Both sets are great.

This guy may be negative, but has a good point. Why do BFJ and SFG's slider sets have so many versions? If they are so good, then why are they being tinkered with so much? I will say that I like SFG's version 3 but I am tired of tinkering with sliders and want to play the game.

They are tinkering it because they are trying to find a way to make this game the most sim and enjoyable to play. Also since 2k didn't release a instruction manual on what each slider does it forces a slider maker to figure out what each slider does. It is a continuous process. Eventually there will be one set in stone slider combination. SFG had one last year that made 2k8 awesome. Trust me once all of the necessary changes are made it is well worth it.

Re: SFGiantsPBA's Sliders

Ok just wandering ...it has been asked alot and not answered that I saw, I may have missed it. But with the power at 100 are you not using the left stick at all? I would assume that is the case, but wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance.
