    I lowered all the hitting numbers down to 33: Human Power, AI Power, AI Contact, and AI Skill. The result? An 18-inning marathon with my Cubs beating the Braves 3-2. I think I struck out 14 batters while striking out 12 times myself. I basically used JB's sliders and tweaked the above numbers. There was two homeruns hit in the game: One by Alex Gonzalez and one by Chipper Jones. Derrick Lee and Ramon Martinez hit shots off the wall, as did J.D. Drew. So, as you can see, it was pretty random, though I did feel like I could strike the computer out easily sometimes. Will be tweaking some more to get more realism.

    i wouldnt lower the AI contact and skill TOO much. i have AI contact at 47. AI skill at 43. AI power at 37 or 38. I actually raised human Power a couple notches from where i had it. i think 37. i did that cuz i was only hittin singles and weak hits. so i comprised with raising human power up with raising the AI pitching. check my previous post to get those slider numbers. I get really really great results. I will post my exact sliders when i get the chance. just to give you some of my recent games, they go as follows:

    my team - Yankees

    previous games:

    mariners 4 8 1
    yankees 9 7 0

    yankees 5 8 1
    angels 3 9 0

    yankees 2 6 2
    angels 7 11 1

    what i love about my games is that i dont get ALOT of basehits. i have to work to get guys on base with walks, and put guys in position to score by stealing or bunting guys over. however, there have been games where i rock opposing teams 4th or 5th starters. but when im facing pitchers like zito or schilling, i have to bare down to play.

      Re: Official Slider Discussion

      I have human and CPU power at 30 now. i was still gettin alot of homers with Ordonez at 37 and 35, and the comp would rock me for a mistake, whicg is actually kinda cool.

      At 30, it seems like their is just about a homer and a half a game between the two teams. Ill have to play more.

      through about 26 games or so, Mags is hitting like .340 or so with 16 homers, which leads the league by 1 or so.

      Big frank Thomas is a hitting machine! AT the 3 spot, hes hitting .430 with 9 homers!

      Great game

            Maybe I am crazy (or just not that good at this game) but I have been getting close, realistic games playing on default PRO level with REAL pitch speeds and two-button swings. It blows my mind that I have not once thought about touching the gameplay sliders...
            Thanks for the advice.

                  Than I must really really suck. I have not adjusted a slider and I am playing on the 2nd easiest setting (can't remember what it is) and I am getting good close games.

                        Just thought I'd share some sliders also. I'm getting great variety and realism in my games.

                        Legend level with Custom Sliders.
                        I play wth pitch speed at Medium because I'm slow.
                        Confidence and Power Pitching are on. Speed boosts are off.

                        Human Offense:

                        Power: 45
                        Speed: 49
                        Stealing: 50

                        Human Defense:

                        51 for everything.

                        Human Pitching:

                        Variability: 64
                        Fatigue: 47

                        AI Batting:

                        Contact: 51
                        Skill: 52
                        Take Strike Overall: 57
                        Ahead: 55
                        Behind: 51
                        Take Ball Overall: 54
                        Ahead: 55
                        Behind: 53
                        Power: 51

                        AI Running:

                        Aggressiveness: 55
                        50 for the other two

                        AI Pitching:

                        Corner: 75
                        Change Speed: 75
                        Change Location: 75
                        Throw Strike Overall: 50
                        Throw Strike Ahead: 42
                        Throw Strike Behind: 50
                        Everything else 50.

                        Miscellaneous:

                        Everything at 51 except for Catching Aggression at 50.

                        The game is practically perfect for me now, although it was good already. I feel like I really earn any homeruns I hit. Playing as the Yankees, even the Devil Rays can give me a good game, I just barely beat them 3 to 2 after I scored two in the first inning and then slacked off the rest of the way.

                        I wanted a 2 to 1 strike/ball ratio, which I got. And deadly hitters are real dangerous still. I'm sure these sliders will work great with any Pitch Speed setting, but like I said, Medium is what I prefer, and there seems to be more effectiveness to offspeed pitches on this speed.

                        Let me know what you think if you try them.

                            50 for the other two

                            AI Pitching:

                            Corner: 75
                            Change Speed: 75
                            Change Location: 75
                            Throw Strike Overall: 50
                            Throw Strike Ahead: 42
                            Throw Strike Behind: 50
                            Everything else 50.

                            Miscellaneous:

                            Everything at 51 except for Catching Aggression at 50.

                            The game is practically perfect for me now, although it was good already. I feel like I really earn any homeruns I hit. Playing as the Yankees, even the Devil Rays can give me a good game, I just barely beat them 3 to 2 after I scored two in the first inning and then slacked off the rest of the way.

                            I wanted a 2 to 1 strike/ball ratio, which I got. And deadly hitters are real dangerous still. I'm sure these sliders will work great with any Pitch Speed setting, but like I said, Medium is what I prefer, and there seems to be more effectiveness to offspeed pitches on this speed.

                            Let me know what you think if you try them.

                              Hey Thanks Progamer,

                              I haven't been on here for awhile and didn't think anyone was really bothering with my sliders. I'm getting tremendously good games lately, and I got shut out for the first time by Toronto yesterday. My girlfriend is making breakfast right now and I can't put on X-Box or she'll get mad. But yes I've made changes and will post them later.

                              Mostly I've raised CPU hitting and altered their take balls/strikes sliders to make them more selective. I've been giving up a lot of hits but before this I was cruising through other teams lineups too easily. It's all about how you like to pitch.

                              I'm very careful and try and paint the corners, which is what most pitchers do. But when I hang one up in the zone, just about any batter I face will get a hit. So, I'm gonna test some more. Anyway I have my CPU batting at:

                              Skill: 57
                              Power: 51

                              Anyone who lowers CPU hitting is just cheating themselves, it really needs to be raised. I might lower skill to 56, however.

                              One thing this game has done to me is to make me watch real baseball games more closely. I watch just about every single Yankee game all season long. Just last night I noticed how any pitch that was hung over the plate was smashed, no matter who the hitter was. ESPN works this way for me too, it's all about changing speeds and location, it's not about getting the computer to easily swing at obvious balls, which is what I think a lot of people want.

                              Anyway, blah, blah, blah, I'll post my new sliders later today. I'm getting absolutely perfect games with them.
