    Never have played My Player... Only exhibition games and won't start a franchise until the patch arrives.

      I have 3 homers through 5 games. This makes it more realistic!

        Re: mkharsh33's Sliders...Classic Hitting

        I started a Twins franchise today and am 2-0. I beat the Angles 5-2 and the last game 14-6 which was fun to play! In the 2nd inning after giving up 4 runs I put up a 8 spot! I loaded up the bases and they walked 2 runners in and I eventually hit a 1 out grand slam! I think I had 4 homers in that game. In each of the games I have played, I have been really patient at the plate and getting the timing down and waiting for my pitch. The CPU starting pitcher was up over 100 pitches before 7 innings. In the first game where I won 5-2, their opening day starter was up over 120 before they yanked him in the 2nd!

        That Twins lineup is deadly. Especially against lefties because you add Thome in there who is like 95 power vs lefties!! I'm loving these sliders. I have been playing NBA 2K10 like crazy the last week or so and that was the only game I played. I haven't played this game in about a week or so but found the team that I like to use. I would use my Indians but they suck in the game and in real life! Great sliders and rosters bro!

          Thanks for the work on these and the rosters.
          And, I'm making the change to Classic hitting

          I tried the Swing Stick and had good results at first but my hitting got worse the more I played. I'd be right on a pitch and use the power swing and I'd either foul it straight back or ground out. Not saying that that can't happen but after 10-plus times of that, it got annoying, especially when the CPU is jacking opposite-field HR's on sinkers down and away.

          Tried Classic out and really enjoyed it. Better hit variety for me.

          One thing, I seem to be early on a lot of my swings. Should I increase the pitch speed? I have it at 60 right now.

          Oh, and I was curious, if you just used "contact" swing on the swing stick, do you think it would play out the same if you use classic hitting, since they should, in theory, be the same swing.

            Totally off topic, but how is that even possible? Thome, especially at this point in his career, is by all accounts horrible against lefties...not that he's been a whole lot better throughout his career lol.

              Appreciate the heads-up on Thome...yikes - those numbers were ugly. I looked up his splits and yeah, 2K really screwed that up (I hadn't touched him in any of my updates - he was how 2K had created him, but in my next file he'll be fixed).

                Right on! Certainly didn't expect you to change it, but I'm not gonna complain

                  Re: mkharsh33's Sliders...Classic Hitting

                  One update to first post (which has current sliders)...

                  Raised CPU Batting Contact from 60 to 65. The more I play this game the better I get...I might even have to raise this to 70, but I'll stick with 65 for awhile. Also, by the sound of the patch notes, pitching should get a "bit" harder, but we'll see (I read something about it being more difficult to paint the corners).

                  Using this update I played an exhibition game (Reds - ME vs. Indians - CPU). Saturday's pitching matchup of Cueto vs. Carmona. I won 9-1. Scored all 9 runs from the 6th inning on and I only gave up a sac-fly in the bottom of the 9th. Cueto goes the distance (9 IP, 5 Hits, 5 K's and 0 BB). Carmona goes 6 2/3 giving up 6 runs on 8 hits...

                  So I'm still not sure about these... The only problem is that pitching cannot be made any harder as those sliders are completely maxed out. CPU batting power is also maxed out, so all that's left is the CPU contact slider...

                  I'm disappointed in this game...simply put, it's broken and flawed. I try to tell myself just to enjoy it for what it is, but sadly, it might be returned in a few weeks, especially seeing that the franchise freezes were NOT fixed along with no errors or injuries during gameplay. I really don't get 2k...

                    when using classic hitting, do you aim with the Left stick too?

                      I don't... that would be up to you, but I just don't like it.

                      Also, I'm sticking with the sliders on page 1...following the patch, they play great! I actually walked FOUR guys in ONE inning (two intentional). It scared me because I gave up 4 runs...but I then settled down and didn't give up another run the entire game.

                          Ive been using your sliders for a while and they are great!

                          But, after patch, you MAY want to try both HUM/CPU fielders speed at 20 and throw meter influence at least at 50... it helps a lot with animations giving A LITTLE bit more sense or reallity (i know its hard without errors and injuries, lol) anyway throw meter has no sense now and seems animations is the only thing it has efect on

                          And base running speed at 50 because set at 55 is way too easy to steal bases (even at 50 is kind of easy after patch..) I think it was ok before "hard but possible" and now everyone is Carl Crawford to me while stealing

                            After considering your suggestions I'm just going to leave things alone. Appreciate the suggestions, but just didn't like the way it played.

                            I did one thing: I upped CPU batting contact to 70. I now feel this provides the separation needed from good pitchers and bad ones. First post is updated.

                              Something needs to be done with human hitting.
                              Since the patch it is way too easy to hit.
                              I played 3 games last night and scored 7,8, and 7 runs.
                              I am now hitting for way too high of an average.
                              I do love now that I can not throw every pitch exactly where I want to.
                              Also I have now won 11 games in a row since the patch was released using these sliders.
                              Again it is way too easy to hit.

                                Easy fix: lower the USER Batting Contact by 5 and see how that works (25)... If that's too easy then just keep taking it to a level that works for you.
