Re: Shogun Slider option for 25 Anticipation

what do you have you pitcher success slider at?

I have it at 70 but I had it at 80 before I saw your video.

Weird. As with any slider set they are a base and each should adjust to their skill level and whatnot.

I can't score but I can keep the AI off the board so these are working well for me and low in the score columns. If anything I am going to bump up the user and AI offense at some point.

But if you are putting up a dozen runs, consistently, then it is time to tweak from the base to make your hitting more difficult and if they are mashing you to a dozen make their hitting less effective.

Sliders are subjective because of each person's play style. Play a series of games, 3,4,5,6 etc, and see what the average hits per game, runs per game, hr per game are. Then adjust from there.

This is a great game. Really like it.

Ok sounds like a plan. I think what my problem is, is that I swing at most pitches I think are strikes making alot of balls go in play. And I also think that I have gotten quite good at timing pitches.

So one solution could be rising AI pitch speed.

About the opponent mashing me, have any suggestions so it doesn't happen

Nibble nibble nibble. work counts. don't be afraid to miss and maybe end up walking a guy here and there.

You think these are tough to keep the ai off the board. you should try MKharsh's 2k12 sliders, those will teach (FORCE) you to learn how to pitch. Great set. Was really tough.

I remember my first time with his set I gave up like 18 runs. Then I started pitching. Change speeds, work the zone, stay out of the middle. I usually walk about 3 guys a game give or take (not counting intentional). Just nibble nibble.

As my old college coach said and still says, "It's hard to hit a bad ball good". So true.

Use that when facing these AI cats. If you throw low power in the middle, GONE! Gotta try to get that perfect, although I get like 10 perfects a game, but if you don't make sure you're powered up and hit that corner. Take a trip if rattled.

Use your bullpen! Check out my video from the JMC roster thread, game 1 (Still with baserunning speed at 0 or 5 in this video), this is how I pitch.

Re: Shogun Slider option for 25 Anticipation

So these are the scores of my last five games. I think most are using your sliders shogun.

Game 1. Hou @ Sea
12-11 Hou in 10 innings. With 9 HR given up by me.

Game 2. Oak @ LAA
4-2 Oak

Game 3. Pit @ Ari
1-0 Ari in 10 innings. Walkoff in 10th

Game 4. Cin @ St. Louis
4-3 STL. Walkoff in 9th

Game 5. Min @ KC
3-2 KC. Walkoff in the 9th

Ok thanks for the advice. When I'm pitching I usually use the suggested pitch unless it shows yellow or red then I use a different one and then I throw it close to or in the yellow box put up by the catcher(Regardless if it's down the middle or 1 foot outside the box)

Oh, thats a great range of scores in my opinion. The way you posted earlier you were having 12-11 games all the time. Those are great baseball scores with the occasional big bat game.

I'd leave them be if those are your results. That's baseball!

Just looking up numbers, 8.33 runs per game was the average in 2013, 8.13 in 2014. You are averaging 8.4 runs per game.


PERFECT!

Didn't mean to mislead you but yea I do have the odd game where the pitcher's fastball is very flat and I get crushed.

I remember about a week ago before I used your sliders(I think). I had a game(Oak @ Hou) where there was duel perfect games into the 7th where Fowler dropped down a bunt for a hit.
The pitchers were Brett Oberholtzer(7.2) and Scott Kazmir(8.1).
The game finally ended in the 9th with one out on a solo shot from Matt Dominguez.
So what I'm trying to say is that I might have already had some good sliders, but I think yours might be far more realistic.

I wonder is there a stat that the game tracks for your VIP profile for runs per game.

It would be skewed unless you could reset it while using a new slider set. It would include online games, game pre anticipation edit, games with other slider sets.

Great thought though.

Just so you can see how we got here. Check out my Anticipation 25 thread. Good stuff in there breaking the game down to play the way it was meant to be.

Re: Shogun Slider option for 25 Anticipation

Had a little glance through and noticed that you said you used REDitor.

Where did you find one that works?
Wanted to try my hand at editing some rosters and players

[jacobcalvert3]

Re: Shogun Slider option for 25 Anticipation

Shogun. Do you have any experience in updating players' attributes based on real life stats. Been trying to perfect a good system to update each player but it's a little inaccurate and only for hitting(haven't figured out how to do pitching or defense yet.)

Gotta buy it. Here is a link to the NBA version but I beleive its the same version but the purchase will give you the tables you need to view it. I bought my copy 2 years ago.

I don't you'd have to talk to MK or JMC and see what their systems are. I merely try to mod attributes to create animations and smoother gameplay, better gameplay, better all around games. Did global edits for NHL 2k10, MLB 2k12/2k13 and NHL 14.

But as far as real life attributes go, not my cup of tea.

Pretty happy with the gameplay thus far. Next step is working on a legit pitcher fatigue rating which can be extremely subjective so I am going to work on a range. In the videos I posted I swung alot, just like real life and my transition from a shortstop to a.....ugh, pitcher..I couldn't hit.

But when I play in franchise, season, postseason I try to work each AI pitcher to 12+ pitchers per inning, preferably more. But looking at pitch counts from last year (HERE) looking to get a true sim number around 100 and pitchers should be close to the end of the line.

BUT, if you are a guy like me that sometimes doesn't have time to take pitches since trying to squeeze one in before work or something, that is when the alternate "quick fatigue" slider would come into play.

BUt next priority is getting the top leaders, Price, Scherzer, to make it to 100 and get tired. THIS IS my game for 2015. Going to make it great. Good work by all involved!

Re: Shogun Slider option for 25 Anticipation

Shogun. How's the fatigue rating work coming?

[shogunofharlem3]

Re: Shogun Slider option for 25 Anticipation

Haven't had chance to work on it. Been busy. Hopefully today I'll get a game or two in and will post a video and hopefully some info on fatigue.
