- I recall reading on a number of forums when this game was released that HR power was more difficult for the cpu than in prior 2K releases. So don't fear that 95 number - it's a necessity to get the cpu to launch balls harder and farther. I haven't given up many, and those I have were meatballs that deserved crushed.
- I was hitting too many HR's with user power too high, so I lowered that for my preference (and I'll need to see if I need to go lower once I dig into this game more). I'm still doing NBA 2K11 roster files for the guys there and I promised them I'd finish out the season, so I'm still keeping a close eye on NBA stuff.
- with run speed at 20 (which I believe is perfect) you need to adjust the catcher throwing power to accomodate. with it set at 50 (with shogun's base set) I was throwing out base-stealers by a good 5-8 feet (not even close). So this was a necessary adjustment, and it also gives the "challenge" to it. I want good base-stealers to get their bases against me in a fair way, but when I'm throwing out Billy Hamilton by a mile, I know something is wrong. 25 seems to be a delicate balance.
- I'm a VERY patient hitter. 98% of time I always take first strikes. I've noticed that this game has a good variety. I've been down 0-2 in some at-bats. I've had great plate battles (had an 11-pitch at-bat the other day). I've drawn a good number of walks. I want the pitchers to throw a LOT of pitches to me, and the %'s vary against me, but they seem fine. Again, I don't want to play a REAL baseball game where there's 160 pitches thrown. But in my last game I counted and the cpu threw 138 pitches altogether - I can't recall the strike % but I drew 5 walks.
These are still possibly a work-in-progress, but I took shogun's base set, and then I looked at all the other 2K13 slider sets here as well and jotted down some things I was seeing. But guys are all over the map, and the biggest thing that sets all the slider sets apart is BASE RUNNING SPEED. I like it lower - but a number of guys here have it jacked up, and I think that makes the game too "arcadish" for my tastes. Hope this makes sense....
