None about gathering (6 games).

Only throwing errors

Here's another one. Mets (me) vs Braves (CPU). Not sure what the deal is with these past two games but I just cannot hit or score much. The tiger game above I actually only had 4 hits going into the 9th inning. The mets game, well, you can see I couldn't get anything together. Both games I was hitting against lesser (70 overall) pitchers, while I was pitching with Verlander and Santana.

It's weird, since I haven't even touched power or contact. It just seems so many balls in play are just weak dribblers. It's almost like I'm batting with a wet noodle lol. Let me know if you're seeing the same.

The Braves don't have a starter rated less than 80. Hudson is 89, Hanson is 88, Beachy is 86, Jurrjens is 82 and Minor is 80.

Judging by the stats in that game with 9 K's I'd say Hanson was pitching.

@Blazzen, it was Delgado (http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/3...andall-delgado) starting and he's about a 72 overall I think...

@Vince, I'm seeing plenty of errors. In my Tigs game I saw Cabrera boot a hard ground ball, but he was able to make an out on it so it didn't count as an error...but would have. Also, in my mets game there was an error on both sides. One was a throwing error (cpu) and one was a booted ball (me).

@Vermont, good to hear, it might have just been a few "off" games for me. So I'll play some more and we'll see!

That's right - Huddy is recovering from back surgery. I didn't play with existing injuries in my franchise. I think Delgado is a 75.

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

do you guys see a lazy approach to the ball with both in fielders and outfielders. Default legend is like this and I see in these sliders that infield and outfield speed is even lower. Most have to do with starting the slider set on all star??

None of this can really be "proved" - but last year a number of us noted (whether it was real or imagined, I don't know) that starting the sliders from All-Star lowered the amount of line drive outs to the infielders, in essence, softening up the ground ball outs.

If you don't like the fielder speed, then raise it... but I'd suggest not doing that. I don't see anything lazy about the fielders...to me, these new speeds are perfect, which is why they are slider set that's on page 1. But again, tweak to fit your needs... But I'm not raising them.

Only in the outfield. It seems when a ball is hit into an outfield gap, which can be playable by two fielders, only one will hustle while the other slowly jogs. For example, a ball hit to the left-center gap. You take control of the left fielder who is slowly jogging and you can't shake him out of the animation while the center fielder is actually sprinting to the ball.

It sucks because sometimes the fielder that's jogging is actually closer to the ball or can make a better play on it than the guy programmed to sprint to it.

Edit: MK, it's not really a slider issue at all. It's a bad bug in the game. It happens with speed at 0 or 100. It's just poor programming.

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

Played two more games with the sliders, 1st one I lost 8-2 against the red sox. Starter Kyle Drabek went 5 innings with 9 hits and 5 ER. I just couldn't hit.

2nd game I won 9-3 against the red sox. This time starter Dustin McGowan went 8.2 innings with 7 hits and 3 ER.

In the two games:
HR: A. Lind (two, 88 power) Bautista (97 power)
2B: Johnson, Lawrie, Lind, Arencibia
3B: Escobar, Vizquel

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

I wish there was a way to turn off auto-fielding.. Like I understand there is an option to turn it off. But that is just partially off.
I always find the CPU forcing me into a fielder when I am trying to make a play on the ball.
Ie: A grounder hit up the middle and I know I could dive and catch it with the SS. The CPU switches me to the Pitcher first for a split second. Then the SS. And as soon as I hit the dive button, switches to the CF and the CF dives. Or if I am holding the right stick to the right, it switches to the CF and he does that stupid cut thing and the ball rolls past him.
I gave up a triple to Ryan Howard once....
And I always see that the outfielders sometimes jog to the ball if it is hit over them. A ball was hit to RF and was closer to the RF than the CF. The CPU insisted I make the play with the CF and not the RF. I could have made a play with the RF..

I think if 2K actually fixed this or removed this, I think sliders would be taken to a new level.

Again, if a ball is hit towards right-center field, the CPU will dive for it no matter what you do. It is like you aren't even making the nice plays sometimes.

Sliders could have deeper game play. Balls would be hit over fielders heads(I actually had one drop of the LF's head once.) and those plays where you think, "Man, if I dove for that ball I would have gotten that last out to win the game. But instead I thought I wouldn't have caught it.".

[bigfnjoe96]

There is setting that will stop the CPU from forcing fielder movement.
It's in the Presentation Settings I believe. Not home so i'm not sure which it is

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

Played another game with the recent changes (75 pitch break).

Lost 5-4 to the Pirates. It was a good game. I was a little frustrated because I just can't seem to close out games with Craig Kimbrel of all people. In 9 innings I've now given up 8 runs with Kimbrel. I was up 4-3 in the 9th and gave up two with Kimbrel and went on to lose 5-4. I think I'm 5/9 in save chances with him. Comeback logic? Who knows.

After three games, averages are:
USER: 6 runs, 10.7 hits, 2 doubles, 0 triples, .7 HR, 7 SO, 1 BB, .7 E
CPU: 3.3 Runs, 9.7 hits, 1.7 doubles, .7 triples, .7 HR, 6.3 SO, 1 BB, 1.7 E

Not bad for a small sample size.

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

mkharsh, Blazzen, Bigfnjoe, anybody else that is getting good amount of extra base hits, and Home runs. Do you use the left stick at all, to influence hit direction while batting? Or are you just using good timing and pressing A. I can't seem to get any offense going. I am the Royals, but still they are a good hitting team. especially extra base hits. Doubles etc...... Any help here? What are you all doing?

I either get a strike out, a lazy ground out to any infielder, a pop out, or a single.

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

I am pretty sure almost everyone you listed doesn't use the left stick. They use good timing with the A button. But if you can't get offense going, tune up either your contact or power(or both) slider for a few games and see how you do. If that doesn't work, tune down the CPU pitch speed and maybe the CPU pitch success and see how that goes for a few games.

Re: mkharsh33 MLB 2K12 Sliders: Classic Hitting / Total Control Pitching

I don't use classic batting, I use swing stick. I don't use left stick influence.
