Official Slider Discussion

Re: Official Slider Discussion

Ok, here's my latest. I made some changes and have been able to K the CPU at a fairly realistic rate while also getting hit around. I'm using Boston and had a 5 game lead in my division before these sliders. I'm 3-7 my last 10 with these sliders and am now only .5 up on NYY. Definately makes it more challenging for me at least....

** Vibration is off under Presentation

SETUP SCREEN:
Legend
Speed Boosts Off - CPU gets more doubles and triples with this off.
Everything else on that screen is on

GAMEPLAY SCREEN
Real Pitch Speed
Everything else is off

CONTROLS SCREEN
True Aim
Classic 1 button swing
Power Pitching On
Auto Round Bases on
Everything else Off

HUMAN OFFENSE
Power 45
Baserunning Speed 48
Steal Success 50

HUMAN DEFENSE
Catcher Errors 51 - You'll see your catcher have a few pass balls now.
Infield Errors 49 - Lessens the frequency of the 1B being pulled off the bag.
Outfield Errors 50

HUMAN PITCHING
Variability 65
Fatigue 40 - Allows me to throw more "waste" pitches. Frontline starters can throw 100+ pitches where 4th and 5th guys get tired around 80 or so pitches. Individual stamina plays a part in this though.

AI BATTING
Contact 50
Skill 57
Take Strike Overall 60
Take Strike Ahead 57
Take Strike Behind 52
Take Ball Overall 48
Take Ball Ahead 55
Take Ball Behind 47
Hitting Power 51

AI RUNNING
Aggressive 85 - Doesn't seem to matter where this is at. CPU seems to always go for the extra base when it knows it'll be safe and hold when it knows it'll be out.
Steal 2nd 55
Steal 3rd 55

AI PITCHING
Corner 75
Change Speed 70
Change Location 75
Throw Strike Overall 38 - Must be patient. Frontline starters won't walk you much, but 4th and 5th guys will. Seems to suit my abilities well.
Throw Strike Ahead 43
Throw Strike Behind 53
Pickoff 50
Pitchout 50

MISC
Injuries 50
Catching Aggression 50
Throwing Aggression 48
Hit in Run 51
Sacrifice Bunt 51
Squeeze 51

Anyhow these are playing well for me right now. I'm striking out the CPU more by working the count (confidence plays a big part in this as well). This is also why Human Fatigue is lower. I throw a lot more pitches.

Well, I'm out for the rest of the day so if anyone has any questions I'll try to answer them late tonight (midnight or later EST).

Re: Official Slider Discussion

Yeah I used your base and the base for which I first posted my sliders and tweaked a few things as I played.

Re: Official Slider Discussion

Dork - The only thing I really don't like about that set is CPU Throw Strike Overall. I think it's way too high. It allows the user to sit back and just mash at the swing button because the CPU will throw a ton of strikes.

I lowered it a ton and find hitting and pitch counts to be more realistic. You really need to be patient when hitting (although that isn't what everyone wants). I think I K looking at a realistic rate also which is something I haven't done in the past as much...
