Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K11 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

Currently I am playing every other game,because im enjoying so much, sure I will start simming more later on. Next up Phillies at home, I am 2-5, and phillies are 2-6, not good starts by either of us, important early series.

If you guys dislike classic hitting so much, then why are you guys posting here? No offense, so please don't take it that way. But you know what this thread is about, right?

Sorry. I like your sliders and I like the slider discussion that takes place here.

I never viewed this, or the others, as a thread where any setting was gospel. I use bits and pieces from everyone's threads, as well as ideas from people that post in each of them.

I think a suggestion to use classic hitting in a thread for sliders based on total control is just as good as a suggestion of the opposite here. We are all just trying to find a way to enjoy the game. I think discussions in which we clarify why we like different options help readers come up with possible alternatives to try if they are not getting the results they want.

I didn't realize this was a thread to hide form the total control heathens. My bad.

Easy man...no need for this. All I'm saying is that I don't like guys who play total control to come here bashing one-button classic hitting. I'd never go to those threads and do that, so we don't want that here. But lighten up a bit as nobody is upset. Re-read my post - nothing criminal there.

You're right...we all want solid sliders. What we don't need is for one type to put down the other, and that was indeed happening which is why I spoke up. End of story...now back to slider talk!

I also think that user control should be 25-30. I can't hit the broad side of a barn with 15.

Okay... I'm having no problem and this feels perfect for me. But I'll update it later tonight and put it back at 25 (while leaving mine personally at 15).

I dropped the cpu AI Pitch Break Influence, because though it makes it harder to hit your spots, I was also seeing the CPU strikeout a LOT. I had a 5th starter strike out 11 guys, and he's not that good. So I went back to default on that more for the cpu batter's sake. To compensate, I've lowered my user control to 15. Make sense?

Lighten up, Francis. There's freedom of choice to use whatever hitting mechanism you want to. No need to get all huffy.

Nice job with the sliders.. just had a great game (Nats -me vs Braves)..

Braves.. 4 runs 8 hits 1 error
Nats.. 2 runs 7 hits. 1 error

Hanson struck out 12.. Strasburg had a rough first inning (3 runs) but managed to go 7 innings.

The only thing I may need to adjust is either OF speed, my baserunning speed, or OF throw speed because Rick Ankiel was thrown out at 2b on a ball in the gap that went to the track..

Very good set!

I just played a few with control at 25 and I now strike guys out too much, so it would appear my earlier judgment was incorrect. I'm going to try 15 again.

I'm thinking of playing with classic pitching. Would there be anything I need to change on your sliders?

I'm with you... I still think (post-patch) that guys are striking out way too much. 15 plays PERFECT for me.

I've never ever used classic pitching so I'm not much help there. I don't really know of any sliders here that offer that.

I'd suggest bumping up your user baserunning speed up 5. I wouldn't touch outfielder speed because you'll see too many base hits.

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K11 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

Question: do you guys think that 75 for CPU AI Baserunning Aggression is good?

It's now really the final question remaining before officially calling these a "final" set... I don't know if setting this at 80 for the cpu jacks them up too much.

Could some of you guys test this...

AND here's the KEY: guys should NOT be tagging up from 1B on a fly ball to right field or even right center to go to 2B.

I think 75 is good, but want to be sure. thanks!

Page 1 - Post 1 has latest update. Only ONE change: offered the option for user pitch control as either 25 (for those who find 15 too hard) or 15 (for those who find 25 to be too easy).

I've been tempted to do this too.. I don't want to mess up any of the balance though. It just seems for me that grounders deep in the SS hole that should be close plays or infield singles aren't close at all and it's damn near impossible for me to steal a base with guys in the high 80s/low 90s. Whereas the CPU can steal second no problem with guys in the high 70s and User catcher accuracy/arm strength at 100.

My thoughts on any adjustments are as follows:
user pitch-20-25
cpu agression-70-75
User run speed - 40

Everything else close to realistic for me after playing several games.
