Re: BIGFNJOE96 mlb 2k11 Custom Legend Sliders

Ok, was playing with contact at 45 and struggling to score and hit. Then I backed off the power swing, worked the count and used the contact swing more freely. Scored 10 and 13 runs in back to back games. Lowered the contact back to 35 and I continue to hit, just not score double digits. So, approach to hitting is really a key in this game, IMO. I'm just not the most patient at the plate on certain nights, or everything looks good until I swing.

Using the updated sliders.

Having a lot more fun now, and it is more realistic. I really have to get better at the pitch meter, they can really make you pay.

Something that frustrates me, the computer seems to always lay off balls, even if they are just outside the black. However, on two strikes, I usually pitch just outside the zone and they are getting hits off me. Frustrating. Could be that I'm struggling to hit my pitch meter and getting 100%?

In my games now, I usually do well pitching until I get to the 7th inning, and my SP starts fatiguing, or I bring in a reliever and am not used to their motions. I think this is realistic though and a good thing.

The gameplay seems crisper and more realistic with these sliders. I feel accomplished when I do something right (inducing a double play with bases loaded, getting out of jams, situational hitting, drawing walks), and it feels like my fault when I do something wrong (chasing pitches on 2 strikes, mistake pitches, diving to catch a deep shot to center and missing - allowing an in-the-park homer...oops)

Thanks Joe

Remember everyone these sliders are more of a base set. Please tweak to your hearts content. Everyone has different play styles. What works for 1 user may not work for another.

That is what I was saying in my post on the previous page. I think that people are using power swing way too much. If you have a guy with 70 contact and 37 power, you probably should not be swinging for the fences all too often. The only time I use a majority of power swings is when I have Cabrera (90's contact - 90's power), or other players in the middle of my line up.

Played my first game with these, I had been using pro default so I figured there would be an adjustment peroid. First of all I loved your camera adjustments espically the fielding one. I played an exhbition game with me as Boston vs the Pirates( Im a Mets fan though, just picked a better teaam for my first game with these)

pirates: 9 runs 17 hits(They had 4 doubles 1 triple and the rest singles) 1 Error

Redsox 10 runs 20 hits(5 doubles 3 homers)

I won in 11 innings on a walkoff hit by Youk. I was down 4-0 and 5-1 in the 3rd, before I came back to tie keyed on Papi and Adrain homers. I took the lead in the middle innings after I settled down with lester. I allowed a run in the 7th and that made it 7-6 me, then I tacked on a run in both the 7th and the 8th to make it 9-6 me. I stroke out the first 2 guys with Papelbon then he allowed 5 hits in a row for 3 runs. I won in the bottom of the 11th on a Youk single.

Few Thoughts;
Note I had user contact on 40 and cpu on 35(the lower of the 2 numbers in the first posst due to it being my first game)
I stroke out a ton, seemed like I either got a hit or ked
Most of my hits and all 3 of my homers were oppistie field-this is a timing thing I guess
Good set of sliders

This a true statement. Skill level plays a role also.

I just got ripped apart by the Dodgers 17-5. Having patience pitching is something I never thought about before. I myself am very very happy with the results of the first set with 2 tweaks.

Thanks man

Agree man. I'm finding myself really having to think about every at-bat.

Also, really have to concentrate when I'm pitching this year. I flat-out love it. Also, is it me... or do games take a little longer to play this year? Not complaining, but I actually love it.

Hats-off to BigJoe for a great set of sliders.

Re: BIGFNJOE96 mlb 2k11 Custom Legend Sliders

The only struggle with this set of sliders (or the video game itself) is that grounders go through the infield unless its right at a fielder. Not sure if this is able to be adjusted through sliders, unfortunately.

Seems like others have said the games are alittle longer. Its about 90mins per gm for me, which is fine.

I am not seeing that at all. My infielders have made some great plays in the hole....

Make sure you are properly shifting your infielders in obvious situations, also to where you are pitching a batter.

Really my games only take about 40-50 minutes.

Oh it can be played in 40-50 mins if you skip all the walk-ups and mash the advance button after every pitch. To each is own on this right?

Re: BIGFNJOE96 mlb 2k11 Custom Legend Sliders

After 10 games in my franchise and only losing two and feeling like I'm dominating too easily, I decided to give these sliders a try. After 2 games so far. I am really liking them. Thanks for the time and effort Joe and everyone who's helped tweak them.
