Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Think i'm going to have to bump up the batting. I'm striking out to many cpu batters, and neither me or the cpu are hitting enough homeruns. User 35/75 Cpu 40/75. Everything else is perfect.

Edit: Maybe upping the fielding will balance things out. All I want are less cpu strikeouts and more homeruns.

Outfielder Throw Speed 65
Infield Throw Speed 65
Outfield Run Speed 30
Infield Run Speed 30

I'm at work and all I can think about is this game. I'll try these out when I get home.

I think I'm going to try 40/70 for user and cpu. Hoping it will not result in the need for changing anything else, but if it does, I agree, raising the fielders run speed should help. I think infielder throw speed is fine at 60, any higher and double plays become too easy and no more infield hits. Outfield throw speed could get a bump, but I think the run speed is whats going to limit the amount of hits more.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

I am now at 40/90 for both human and CPU. I'm still not seeing much in the way of HR's. My last game today, I faced the Mets knuckleball guy, who drove me nuts.

I did finally hit a home run when he tried to throw a 2-0 fastball to Pujols, who was primed for a power swing. After all of those dancing knuckleballs, I got that beautiful full square box, and the hint that a fastball was coming. Pujols hit that DEEP over the center field wall.

But otherwise, I'm just hitting them yet. I think my timing is off, as even with contact at 40, I still consistently get fewer than 10 hits a game. But my strikeouts are down.

Maybe I should drop AI pitch success?

Up to you, but I think it's a timing issue more than anything. I'm hitting homeruns with 70-80 power guys on the Braves. I just want to cut down on the K's and I'm hoping by going to 40 contact it will accomplish that without generating more than 7-9 hits on average.

I hit a HR off Dickey with Brian McCann in a game not too long ago. Gotta just sit on the knuckleball against him because he throws it 90% of the time. Wait on it, get one up in the zone and crank it. Dickey will walk a decent amount of hitters too, gotta be REAL patient with him. I know it's easy to start hacking once you get frustrated, I do it too, just gotta stay patient.

I'm pretty sure it's timing. I'm drawing a good amount of walks. Sometimes as many as six in a game. I lay off breaking pitches and wait for fastballs. But I still have enough swung early and swung lates that I know my timing is just poor.

I think your sliders are great. It's just that time to tweak them to my own preferences, and then let others know. It helps everyone get an idea on what they can do to improve the game for themselves.

But I do wonder if the AI pitch success being dropped will have a positive impact.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Frustration has set in, not with gameplay we got going, but freezes and crashes, and serious injuries even at injury at 10. Anyone else seeing this?

40/70 is where I have settled also. Faced Dickey in last game, boy that knuckleball was driving me crazy; but had a pitching duel going into 7th, only 3 hits for each team, 0-0 score. Than ofcourse 120 day injury to my pitcher, again.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

I was giving up tons of hits with cpu contact @ 40. I think what I'm going to do to counteract this is raise user pitch control to 50 so I can keep the ball on the corners more often. I think I was leaving too many fat pitches over the plate leading to hits. High contact setting means they miss them less. I don't think raising fielder speed is necessary as the hits I was seeing were not borderline.

Going to play 3-5 games with cpu contact at 40 and user pitch control at 50 and see how it goes.

Stop throwing so many pitches over the plate. The AI is adapting to your pitching tendencies.

Make the AI work for their hits. It's ok to waste pitches, to set up the AI..

Were having this same discussion over in my slider thread

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

These sliders are pretty good. Made some slight changes though. Have human contact and power at 35/75 with cpu at 40/70. Use classic batting and pitching with breakpoint aim, Been having some great games. Nice job on the sliders dude

I completely agree with you.

Problem is, when I'm aiming off the corners but miss the gesture, pitches end up over the middle of the plate. I'm hoping that by raising pitch control I can make sure I don't leave fat pitches over the plate as often.

I walk my fair share of batters and I pitch to the catcher suggestions. I'm just not the greatest at gesturing I suppose and I miss over the heart of the plate and give up hits. With contact at 35 they missed enough of these pitches for me to not give up too many hits. Now with contact at 40 the cpu isnt missing as many and hit totals (mostly singles) are just too high. Getting dinked and dunked to death. To be honest I haven't noticed much of a difference with pitch control at 50 vs. 40, though I only had time for a few innings last night.

Is there a better way to counteract this than raising pitch control?

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

So over the last 4 games I've averaged 10 user K's per game and 13 cpu K's per game.

I'm going to bump up user and cpu contact to 40 and see how that works. To compensate for the abundance of cpu singles, I'm going to lower pitch meter speed by 10 so I can get gestures better and keep to the corners more often.

These changes are reflected in the first post.

I can almost guarantee that your hitting sliders will end up like this.

HUM/CPU

Contact : 35/ 40-45
Power : 70-75 / 70

If you take CPU power up to 75 then raise HUM outfield speed 1 notch. Will make you fear the power hitters a little more.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Well I'm using 35/70 for Hum and 45/70 for the CPU, with Pitch Speed at 80. However I'm using Meter Speed at 65 with 45 control.

So you have a great balance between hits, SO, Foul Balls and Walks. You have to take on count that maybe a high number of hits, it's because some people don't like to walk.

Another great thing thing that makes batter SO less, i up the batter eye Frequency to 65, so you know better the balls that are coming. I think people should use this more.. No cameras gives us a realistic view, as if we were at the home plate wainting for the ball, so this helps a lot.

And finally I use for the CPU 80 Pitch success and 45 SZ tendency... The Stats and gameplay looks pretty solid.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

seems like with most of my games I play the cpu tight until the 5th innning or so then they go on a run of 4 or 5 runs and most games I lost 7 or 8 to 2 or 3...this happens consistently, with both of us getting around 13 or 14 hits.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

I've been busy, haven't had a chance to test the new sliders yet. Will hopefully get some games in this weekend.

Re: Blazzen's MLB 2K11 Slider's

Frustrating franchise bull**** has lead me back to some play now games. I made some slider adjustments in the first post including 40/65 cpu batting, 60 user pitch meter speed, and bumped batters eye up to 50 to help cut down on user batting K's.

Had a GREAT game vs. the Brew Crew.

Brewers- 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 - 3 7 0
Braves - 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 x - 4 8 0

S. Marcum vs. J. Jurrjens

Offense
Brewers: 5 singles, 2 doubles, 1 walk
Braves: 5 singles, 3 doubles, 1 walk

Pitching:
Brewers: 94 pitches, 29 balls, 65 strikes, 1 walk, 7 ko
Braves: 119 pitches, 49 balls, 70 strikes, 1 walk, 8 ko

Had a big inning in the 4th, cpu pulled the starter Marcum at the beginning of the next inning. Thier bullpen pitched well and shut me down the rest of the game. In the 8th inning I brought in Moylan and he gave up 3 hits and a run and barely escaped the inning. Go to the 9th I bring Venters in to face the leadoff hitter Fielder and strike him out. Then I bring Kimbrel in to close it out. McGee gets a double right off the bat. Runner at second, 1 out, 1 run game. Kimbrel gets pinch hitter Jeremy Reed to ground out and then stikes out Carlos Gomez on a nasty slider to end the game.

Think I'll roll with these settings for a while. I've been able to cut down on k's without increasing offense too much. What's really helped me not give up too many hits is keeping the pitch analyzer on each pitch. I realized I'm overthrowing way too often and that cuts power to 75%. It's better to underthrow a bit because it usually still ends up above 75%. It's also improved my gestures as I'm watching what I'm doing right/wrong and correcting as needed.
