Re: hetfield's MLB 2K13 Sliders

These sliders are great! I've had great games with these after a few tweaks to my abilities

Thank you so much for the feedback, Ben! I'm glad you're feeling free to tweak some of them, especially if they are the ones I've labeled with "user preference." Still, if you find even the slightest gameplay issue, let me know!

The only changes I made were hitting power down to 70 and pitch speed at 90 Only because I seemed to be getting a few too many home runs and was having trouble taking pitches with pitch speed on 100. But that is more of a user preference. I had maybe 1 or 2 other changes but you actually changed those in your updated versions. Seems that we were seeing some of the same things. Really a great set though it makes the game much more enjoyable.

I'm actually really glad you brought up the home run thing, because one of my discoveries of this game is actually that the Power slider dictates how HARD you hit the ball and not how FAR. I recently tried lowering the contact to 35 and have found less homers but was able to maintain the realistic-looking velocity of the ball off the bat, so try that out. I still may end up lowering the power a bit, but lowering contact I feel has helped give the batter less of an advantage, which is more accurate to how the game is today. Thanks again for the message!!

That is actually very interesting. And it makes sense because with 45 contact 70 power I was getting about 15 hits per game which is too many. I tried 40 contact 70 power and no body seemed to make solid contact. So your idea should fix that
Thanks!

I'm glad you noticed this too! I just updated again and one of the changes was lowering power to 75, which I'm pretty sure captures the most realistic hit strength (not distance.)

Re: hetfield's MLB 2K13 Sliders

V12 is up and with a few VERY important updates!

[Ben003]

Everything is great. Just a few more things to consider
I am five for five on throwing runners out when they steal second (including 2 on Michael Bourne)
I am 12 for 12 in the first 14 games stealing second with Ben Revere (although I don't know if this can really be fixed because its more that the computer lets you get huge leads)

The stealing thing is definitely a problem, you're right, and I am very torn about changing this. I know as a ground rule that I won't have User and CPU values different for any slider that exists for both, as I have mentioned before, as I don't believe having different settings for the Catcher ones (between User and CPU) will fix the problem. But believe me, I am working hard on this, and it is one of the only major problems I'm currently having.

[Ben003]

Well actually I just tried moving the pitch speed up to 100 (I had it at 90 before) and I actually really like it. It is more challenging but realistic as well and it makes it much harder to steal second base.

Yes I actually hadn't thought of that as a factor for base-stealing! I feel like an idiot for having ignored that now. But of course that doesn't really solve the problem for the CPU base stealing...

Could you be more specific? Like 4 homers per game? Or as a player?

Re: hetfield's MLB 2K13 Sliders

About 4-5 homers for my team and i keep winning in blowouts.

If you already have my setting of 35/75, I'd suggest lowering either one of those at a time until you feel like you stop winning. Maybe you're just better than the rest of us :P

Re: hetfield's MLB 2K13 Sliders

thats not good because it so boring blowing out teams i went down to 25 contact and 65 power and still blowing out teams and i average 10 Ks a game.
