    Re: Official Slider Discussion

    good to hear it joeboo,

    i went into total tweaking mode today with the cpu batting sliders because i have some issues

    it definitely is too hard to strike out the CPU batters with my sliders and i also gave them too much power

    also, the CPU does not hit enough foul balls and i don't know what sliders affect this, they put everything in play unless it's a changeup which they occasionally foul off

    anyway, i hope to have a new set soon because right now it just doesn't feel dead on, but it's close

    also, i should have asked you what your game settings are, for example:

    do you use the one-button swing or the one with the "power" swing? i use one-button, and do you use true-aim? cause these are specifically for true-aim batting

    i also have the strike zone off but i have the pitch cursor on, and i absolutely NEVER look at the batter's hot and cold zones, it's cheesy in my opinion, it's easy to ignore cause it's off to the side anyways

    also make sure BOTH teams are set to Legend difficulty by hitting X in the team options menu

    anyway, i can't do any more testing today, i had the day off and i wasted it playing ESPN baseball, now i have to watch the yankees beat the stuffing out of the mariners, although so far it's not going good, then i'm off to play Rainbow Six until the sun comes up

    another thing about David Ortiz, you're better off walking him if he's having a good game

    some people may not like the confidence meter but i love it, it really is like real baseball sometimes, there's usually one guy that has a really good game at the plate most of the time and that's the difference in the game, the exception to this is when there's like a 15-2 score, which means everybody had a good game, but then there's always that guy in the lineup who didn't get a single hit the whole night, his confidence was down

      Re: Official Slider Discussion

      Dork - Yes my settings are close to yours. I use classic 1 button hitting with the true aim system. My pitching is a little different though. I've turned all the aids off including vibration. So no strike zone, no ball cursor and no vibration. It makes me a little more wild, but since I've used my staff for a number of games, I pretty much know how far I can push the stick to hit corners. Of course once my pitcher tires, that all changes and I have to adjust mid-game. I like that though because I think it adds a little something to the game...

            Re: Official Slider Discussion

            yeah, i have vibration off too and i forgot to mention that, as for the cursor, i've tried having it off but i generally know where it is anyway because i'm used to how much i have to move the stick anyway

            i have found it more challenging with the cursor on because i have the variablility pretty high so the pitch isn't going to go exaclty where i put it anyway

            the best thing they can do next year is to move to some sort of "zone" pitching and rip off high heat, where you just point to a part of the strike zone with no cursor and then say if you're going for a ball or a strike and let it all happen from there

            joeboo, please let me know if you have found a good setting on any part of the ai batting, this is my biggest concern and i'm still working on it

                        Yeah I moved variability up to 68 and my pitchers have been a bit more wild. I'm afraid to move it to high because I don't want my pitchers to wild in the strike zone. It wouldn't bother me if a few pitches were wild in the zone, but I'm worried the higher I move it, the more wild they'll be in the zone.

                        I'm also trying to find a good setting for AI Hitting. I need a setting where I can K them at a realistic amount, but the CPU can put together 5-6 hits in a row on me.

                              yeah, having variability too high can actually decrease your walk total cause it tends to make pitches drift over the plate even when you're trying to throw a ball

                              i'm still working on a new set of sliders that will give more K's but not make the game too easy

                              i'm making some drastic changes, for instance I have CPU Contact at 35 right now and i am testing by switching teams every inning and doing all the pitching

                              anyway, i don't when i'll be done and now i have to go do MOM stuff so i won't get to play any more today
