Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Sorry blazzen but I am looking at your stats and some of them are not very realistic. It looks like you are winning way too easy and it's way too easy for you too hot.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Trying out some completely different sliders, 50/50 user batting, 60/60 cpu batting along with some other stuff.

Anyways:

Rockies 2
Braves 1

Went 10 innings. Rockies won it on a ball that went over Prado's head that he didn't catch but should've on a routine fly ball. Fowler went to third with no outs and was eventually singled home.

Rockies - 7 singles, 1 triple (fowler), 1 homerun, 0 walks, 3 K's
Braves - 7 singles 1 double 2 walks, 3 k's

Not enough strikeouts, not enough pop in the bats. Lots of lazy fly balls. Going to try 40/60 for user and 50/70 for cpu.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

i dont know how you do it lol..

with the pitch sucess slider at 80, i stink lol.. dont get wood on the ball etc. even when facing say 4th and 5th starters. i bump it down to 75 and i get good games.

i still dont see enough long balls for myself and cpu. i may bump the power to 85 for both (since i stink lol)..

you gotta remember everyone, sliders are just a base for you to start at. got to adjust to how the game plays for you. between blazzen, joe, and mkharsh, i have found a happy medium set of sliders that play solid for me. thanks guys!!

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

I don't think CPU pitch success has THAT much to do with user offense. I averaged 2 HR's a game and had 14 extra base hits in 3 games with 95 cpu pitch success and 40/70 user batting.

I played half of a game last night with 40/60 user batting, 50/70 cpu batting and 60 cpu pitch success.

It seems like the CONTACT slider only effects actually making contact - solely whether or not you hit the ball or not. The power slider seems to effect how good the contact is, hit totals, etc.

At 40/70 user offense was too high, but K's were about right (last average I took was about 6.5 K's per game for the user). I tried 50/50 last game and only K'd 3 times and had little offense, 40/60 I'm hoping is a good balance.

CPU offense at 40/80 K'd too much but also had too many hits. Raising contact to 50 and power down to 70 should hopefully help with this. Previously I had cpu batting at 40/70 the hit totals were about right but there was no offense. I attribute a lot of that to averaging 10 K's per game as striking out really kills a rally, doesn't move runners, no sac flys, etc. Hoping that 50/70 is the best setting for the cpu.

User pitching I'm using what is basically all star settings. 65 meter speed, I like 75 pitch speed, 40 control, going to keep the composure slider at 0 but I may move this up later on if user pitching becomes too strong.

CPU pitching also all star settings - 60 pitch success, 75 pitch speed, 50 strike zone tendency, 0 composure.

I think I saved it last night at the end of the fourth inning, Braves vs. Rockies. Braves had 3 runs on 5 hits, Rockies 0 runs on 3 hits. I hit a 2 run shot with Uggla. Also had a McCann double which Heyward singled him in. CPU had two doubles, I know one was Carlos Gonzalez but I was able to pitch out of trouble with Jurrjens. Several balls I squared up with a power swing that ended up in fly outs that would've been homers or doubles with 70 power. 40/60 feels good so far.

I'll update the first post the best I can from memory, I'm at work now. Will double check at home tonight.

I WILL HAVE REALISTIC SLIDERS FOR THIS F'N GAME!

YES, THIS EXACTLY!

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Blazzen, there could be something to pitcher composer that allows for home runs. I play with 40/40 for human, which is the all-star level, against the all-star level cpu pitching, and I seem to get my share of home runs. I seem to get more of the contact swing home runs too from my non power hitters. My hitting has been in check too. I am below the 8.75 hit per game average and my runs per game is a little under 5.

Yeah, I guess I could see that, but at the same time pitchers give up home runs all the time when they aren't rattled in real life. I think solo HR's are the most common, usually no reason to be "rattled" with nobody on base. I'm going to try 40/60 for the user and see how it goes. If offense is too high I will lower power or raise cpu pitch success or a combo of both. Need time to get some more games in, changed my sliders so much recently not enough time to test everything without pissing off my wife.

Wow I never thought of this or saw this so this could change everything because my strikeouts are too high, so i think i might go 40 contact and 50 power for both and see how that works

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Just want to say thanks to all who works on sliders. I've been trying to get my happy medium as well and I think I might be getting close.

I'm coming from The Show, back to 2k after a few years so things have changed some on the slider front from what I remember.

One the peaks my interest is the pitcher composure. At least for me it seemed like pitcher composure at 0 or very low numbers made things kind worse for me. What I mean is that since the pitcher doesn't get rattled, I end up with box scores of say 2-3 run and 9-12 hits on both sides. I know, I know I should play at least 20-30 games, but based on the box scores I have seen it just seemed to make sense it was because of the composure.

So getting rattled obviously helps in the end to end up with a better hits/run ratio, but you guys already know that.

My point I'm trying to make is what about pitcher composure at 100? I re-read what it's describing and would it also work the other way around? Meaning, if you or the CPU is just pitching a gem and building a lot of confidence will he maybe have extra confidence or a little extra boost? But if you get to him early and maybe if he's a low end starter, you can rack up some hits and runs.

I've tried only two games with it at 100 and the games have been great, but of course 2 games doesn't mean anything yet. One game, I had 7 runs on 11 hits and the CPU had 3-6 hits including a homer.

Unfortunately I think I have the advantage in my sliders, so they are still a work in progress. I was just happy to have a couple of games where I gave up 8 and 6 hits respectively for once. I was getting pretty frustrated with the high #'s of just singles.

The reason for the composure influence slider being lowered is because the CPU seemed to only score in big innings. There were several games in a row where I had a solid pitching performance through 7 only to give up 6 runs in the 8th off of something ridiculous like 7 consecutive base hits. This sort of thing does happen in real life occasionally, but was happening far too often. The cpu gets rattled way too easy it seems too, much more so than the user at the same setting. If user or cpu pitching becomes too potent this is one of the things I may raise.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

i was thinking my issue may just be with the composure sliders.. past few nights i have been pitching awesome. maybe ill just raise that a bit and the games will even out for me and the cpu a bit more..

[kubankaos]

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

I see. So they were only scoring in those types of innings? Yes I agree, and now that I think about, the three runs they scored were in one inning if I remember. Hmm. Well that throws in a wrench in what I was thinking.

I see what you're saying. I didn't mean I only got home runs when the cpu pitcher was rattled but, it does add to my totals.

I think though, we're going to try to have to understand more about how this game operates to get good sliders. I mean, based on all the bugs in the game, the gameplay engine could have bugs they didn't work out properly, and we just don't realize because we think the sliders can fix the problems. IMO, the game seems like a very lazy effort, so I can't get it out of my head that there could be problems with the engines we can't really figure out, only 2k would really know.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Was just eliminated in the NLCS by the Rockies 4-1 (I lost two games, sim went 1-1)

Rockies 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 - 7 11 0
Braves 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 1 0 - 5 11 0

Rockies 8 singles 2 doubles 1 homerun 2 walks 10 k's
Braves 8 singles 1 double 2 homeruns 1 walk 6 k's

Jurrjens pitched 7.1 innings of scorless ball. Went 5-0 into the 9th, brought in Kimbrel just incase. Gave up several hits, was a 5-4 game with two outs, runners first and second, Carlos Gonzalez came up so I pulled Kimbrel for a lefty Sherrill. He gives up a 3 run blast and there goes the season.

Sliders played decently. This is EXACTLY why I keep composure slider at 0. CPU doesn't need help getting big innings. Going to play some more games with these, see how it goes.

[Blazzen]

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Halladay almost threw a perfect game against me last night. 1 out in the 9th got a bloop single.

Line was

Philly 5 10 0
Braves 0 1 1

All 5 philly runs came off of 2 Ryan Howard homeruns, 2 run and 3 run shot.

Nice to see some variety. Last gave I scored 5 on 11 hits, next game I get shut out. Means the sliders are getting closer.
