Joe, your sliders are the best and they give me a realistic game of baseball. After playing about 10 or 15 games on these sliders, I am convinced that errors rarely happen due to the difficulty level of Legend. I have cranked up the error sliders for both human and cpu to 100.

Otherwise, I love the pitch speed at 100. At 75, I have too much time to decide on whether to swing or not. As a former baseball player myself, you really shouldn't have that much time to decipher pitch location. Especially at the majors level, I can imagine it's a split second reaction. Pitch speed at 100 replicates this action.

Love the sliders and I should mention I did not change the recent hitting tweaks as I thought it was fine to begin with, depending on your skill level.

tmac, you will see errors on the User end if you pre-load all your throws. I noticed any errors I get are done when I try to pre-load my throws

Played one game with your sliders, and got smoked 10-0, Rockies vs White Sox I was Colo.
Burhle vs Jimenez. Only got 3 hits vs him and Jimenez got rocked for 2 inside the park homers by Rios. Those balls hit in the gaps are unplayable, and sure triple or inside the park homer. I'll reserve judgement for now. Hitting or lack there of is ridiculous in this game.

BL, thanks for giving these a try. Play a couple of more games before you begin to tweak anything. If your still not seeing the results you like post back & I'll give you some suggestions on what sliders to move so you can start enjoying the game

And Posey was on FIRE before he went down. lol

*Joe, don't mean to clutter you slider's thread with these pics, but I'm using your sliders and I saw your post about INJ Freq @ 0.

Looks like @ 25 it's fairly realistic. 15-20 might be slightly more forgiving, but somewhere around there looks pretty good.

Gotta be careful with players while playing real games too. I injured chipper jones' wrist going for a foul ball by running him into the dugout rail. I also remember getting Alex Gonzalez hurt by diving for a ball. Brian McCann went out for 3 days with a sore back opening day when Strausburg hit him with a 100 MPH fastball.

I wonder what the injury would be if a player goes through the wall for one of those home run + out catches....

20-25 might be the happy medium. Agree with being careful with your players in-game. I've dove with a player and he had to leave the game too. Kinda like this aspect though.

Agree Blazzen. I just saw Joe's post about injuries still happening @ 0... wanted to see some things myself at the opposite end of the spectrum. lol Will try @ 25 and post back later.

To clarify the injury issue:

It is not a "simming" issue. It seems to only happen when you play the games.

It is specific to starting pitchers, or maybe all pitchers.

At 25 I still lost 3 out of 5 guys in my rotation by the end of April. Enough to get me frustrated enough that I won't play franchise mode until it is patched.

there are two issues that sliders are seemingly unable to correct, imo.

One, the gap hits are triples if the runner wants them to be. The OFers in this game, Human or CPU, really struggle with gathering the ball once it hits the wall, giving the runner ample time to advance at his leisure.

The hit distribution (meaning number of singles, doubles, and homers).... in order to get the realistic number of hits per game (average of almost 9), you have to set the hitting sliders to a certain level. However, you won't get the power hits. In reality, your games should average out to 9 hits, 2 of them doubles, and 1 of them a home run (give or take a little given team that is used).... It's just not easy to get that.

Yeah, I'm with ya man. I see many are seeing this issue, and hopefully 2K is taking a look at it. Running a test Franchise with the Pirates and playing all games w/INJ FREQ @ 25. I'm the 3rd week of March ST games and I've had 2 injuries so far. SP R. Ohlendorf (Strained ACL) and SS R. Cedeno (Torn Shoulder Ligament). Ohlendorf got hurt after I pushed him deep into his PC and he was down to like 10 ENG. Cedeno was injured diving for a ball back up the middle.

Re: BIGFNJOE96 mlb 2k11 Custom Legend Sliders

I've had 8 errors in 3 games with these current sliders and only one was throwing. I'm going to scale them back a bit.

Re: BIGFNJOE96 mlb 2k11 Custom Legend Sliders

Reference the injury slider, had mine at 25 to start my franchise and the second game my setup man tore a ligament in his finger and had to go on the 60 day DL. Set the slider to 10 after that and all seems good.

About 10 games in Mike Aviles got hit in the side with a pitch. He went down on one knee in the batter's box after being hit, was pretty cool to see, and had to leave the game. He's out for 3-4 days. I can live with that and will leave the slider at 10.

Re: BIGFNJOE96 mlb 2k11 Custom Legend Sliders
