BIGFNJOE & GALLANDRO'S MLB 2K5 Pure Realism Sliders

Re: BIGFNJOE & GALLANDRO'S MLB 2K5 Pure Realism Sliders

What changes were made from Joes sliders to this updated version?

Used all of Joe's pitching settings

Lowered AI Contact & Power a hair... not much, I just felt the AI was a little too powerful.

AI & Human Baserunner speeds set to 50
AI & Human Fielding speeds set to 50

Set AI & Human Fatigue to 50

Upped AI Fielding Agression to address some really questionable infield plays... (pitcher unable to pick up rollers which have stopped)

Adjusted the AI Take Strike settings a little (per Joe's suggestion... much more realistic)

Fielder Speed Burst Length & Fielder Speed Burst Power were upped a little (actually used the default Legend setting... I think it better simulates fielders "getting on their horse" to make a play without being arcadish)

Lowered Human Errors per some requests... but I'm still testing this setting out.

Otherwise these sliders use all the same pitching & batting logic that Joe completely nailed... the feeling is that by adjusting certain sliders to 50 (which appears to be the default setting) players will play more like their real life counterparts.

Oh, okay... just make sure your AI Throwing Aggression is at 10, if you go any higher the CPU right fielder will often try to throw out the guy 1st. But again it depends on the situation. I remember a few years ago at BOB Tony Gwynn got thrown out at 1st by the right fielder when Gwynn knocked a wicked line drive to right field... right fielder grabbed it and proceeded to throw out Gwynn...

Now I have noticed the CPU is a little more anxious to try this when you have two outs and guys in scoring position. Late in the game (bottom of the 7th) I had Chris Snyder (sloooowww guy) up to bat, men on 2nd and 3rd, two outs. Snyder hit a one hop fly to the right fielder, guy on third came home and the runner was advancing from second. The right fielder grabbed the hop and threw it to first almost getting Snyder. In retrospect this was a really smart play by the outfielder since he had a chance to save the run and get out of the inning.



On the other hand I've had the same situation, but under different circumstances... Snyder up, no outs, nobody on.... Snyder smacked a line drive to right which one hopped and the CPU took the safe route and threw it to second... Some it could be situation dependant.

But please keep me up to date on any observations you might have.

ok, just finished a game and was in the same situation where i think the rf had a chance to maybe throw out my guy running to 1st but instead threw to 2nd, thats good, with throw agg. at 10, the one guy i did see almost thrown out at 1st in an earlier game (forget what i had throw agg. set at) was yadier molina of the cards, his speed is only 18, god thats slow, even matheny of the giants is a 32, i'm going to keep an eye on this and if it happens might raise their speed if its to slow, seems like when you tap A button with these settings its not really that noticable, just a slight increase in speed i guess, in the outfield it seems to be more of a burst, that could just be the angle one sees the outfielder running at.

Re: BIGFNJOE & GALLANDRO'S MLB 2K5 Pure Realism Sliders

Just finished my first game with these sliders, and I am impressed. Man am I glad a solution was found for the past balls....not one single passed ball the entire game. I saw a little of everything in the one game I played, including 4 walks. I walked twice, and I even walked the CPU twice. My first impression are that these are great sliders.

I would suggest:

1st: Turning Slamzone-ON in the options menu
2nd: Set the Slamzone sliders @ default 50 & work from there.

As for the sliders themselves. You don't have to change anything.
