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

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

As has been suggested with some of the 'pre-determination' that goes on in the game - I just think that a lot of hitting is based on a wide variety of variables, including runners on base, the count, etc. rather than simply pitcher ability vs batter ability.

I just played a series of games again Angels as Orioles and one game Jerome williams went through 8 innings allowing 1 run, and another I got Dan Haren out in the 1st inning (scoring 4 runs)...

But these sliders are awesome, thanks a lot mkharsh!

That's not pre determination, that's just baseball. See Josh Beckett or Felix Hernandez at the start of the season (2012).

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

just wondering if ppl are using these sliders specifically for base runner speed in my player mode. I have been playing as a second baseman and I have noticed that on balls hit 1 or 2 steps either way of me that I cannot turn a double play against the cpu. I'm thinking it is because of how long it takes the players to get rid of the ball.

Not sure how far along your 2B is in MyPlayer, but his ratings could be a factor. I use MKs sliders for my pitcher MP and with defensive rating in the 30s and 40s every fielding opportunity is an adventure.

I play MP with these and it feels fine. Get your fielding anticipation and throwing pow/acc up and the animations change or new ones are added as far as speed of animation.

I mean yeah some stuff makes sense like pitchers pitching out of the stretch may screw up their mechanics etc, but I was unaware of 2k actually taking any of those factors into account.

Player dynamic ratings. Chances are, if a pitcher gets rocked early, he's going to get rocked hard, since his pitches will start losing control.

For me, personally, 85 pitch speed is way too high. I can actually time it up pretty well, but as the game progresses, it gives me a headache and I start swinging at everything. It's going back to 75 for me.

Good idea. Anyone do exact as 1st page but power at 70 and contact at 20 or 15? Jw...thanka

yeah, it's a fine line... I'm LOVING this new setup...I think we've finally found it.

Two tweaks, the first I've made for my personal use and the 2nd I'm considering:

1) raised cpu batting power to 90. at 85, I played 4 games in which the cpu hit NO homeruns. 90 puts the fear factor in the game, and makes you think when you pitch. LOVE IT!!!

2) possibly lower pitch speed to 80 or 75. I'm finding I now strike out a LOT, especially on breaking balls. I think 80 might work as I just need that split second longer to recognize the pitch.

but other than these two changes, I think we're good...

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

AI Pitch Speed at 75 is just right for me too. I'm able to be patient, but when a guy is dealing on me, has good stuff, and gets ahead in the count early and consistently, my inability to lay off pitches off the plate is realistic and believable.

Another random thing with the sliders: for some reason having outfield speed at 5-10 is too low for me. Seems like it's too easy for me and the CPU to get triples on balls in the gaps. Most runners are usually on 2nd when the outfielder finally reaches the ball. I raised it to 30, but that might be too high. We'll see.

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

I had a really good game with these. The only changes from default I'm using are pitch speed at 75, and user control at 20. For my next game, I'm also going to drop user errors. At 55, I just see too many errors. Any hard hit liner at my middle infielders is bobbled, and too many throws in the yellow go for errors, imo. Had 3 errors alone in my last game, and it should have been 4, but no one advanced on the last one. That's another slider that could probably benefit from being an inbetween number. I think I'm also going to drop pitcher fatigue back to 50. I don't like having to pull a guy after 6 innings and 87 pitches. I couldn't really even try and send him back out.

I actually dropped CPU and User errors down to 35, and I still see quite a few of them. Although it did cut down on the lame one where the CF dives for the ball and it rolls all the way to the wall. I was seeing that like once every game when it was at 50-55.

I actually haven't seen that one yet. But through the first 7 games of my franchise, Uggla has 5 errors and Pastornicky has 4. Even at 50, I saw three dropped line drives in one game (two from me, in the same inning, with 2 outs, that led to 6 unearned runs), and one by the Brewers.

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

I actually haven't seen that one yet.

I think what dubcity was describing has nothing to do with erros. It depends more on the outfielder speed as far as i can tell.
