    Just to let you know: by raising Contact 10 points, you'll see both less K's and more HR's. So it's not necessarily a matter of raising HR's if you want more HR's, etc. I've also seen that higher Contact equates to harder hit balls, so if that's still a problem as well maybe just try raising the AI Contact slider and see what happens.

      Re: Slider tweaks for improved batting results

      i think i am very close to having my sliders for one button hitting finalized. i am tweaking right now with power for the cpu. i have been getting HRs and need to see over several more games if they can get several HR's in one game. lately the most i had were 2.

      the cpu is scoring most runs without HR's right now. the offense for the cpu is a little lower than i like but the teams i have been playing havent been that good.

      i am also tweaking the throwing aggression slider to see if they will throw out players trying to steal. i throw out some with miguel olivo, so it should be possible for the cpu to do so too. i have it at 50 right now and the plays seem to be closer. i am looking at moving it up to 55 or 60 for a few games.

          I look forward to seeing the 1 button hitting tweaks when they're ready.

              moving ai throwing aggression up to 65 has the catcher making far better throws. usually on a a one extra step lead off, my guys never would get thrown out or even have a close play.

              last night for the first time, a catcher, piazza of all people, threw out one of my fast guys. i moved fielding aggresion up to 40 because too many times i would get singles while the guy was standing right next to the ball as it rolled past him.

                  Re: Slider tweaks for improved batting results

                  I'll try that out. What do you have hitting set to and are you using 1 button hitting yet ?

                      Re: Slider tweaks for improved batting results

                      Here is version 1. i am having trouble because what is bothering me most is pitch count. the cpu pitch count would be correct if i would not swing at everything. i tend to hit the button too hard even pitches i KNOW are balls. i hate that about me.

                      i need help figuring out what pitching style and sliders will make it so i cant always get a strike. the problem i am running into with k-zone, my personal favorite, is that when you make a mistake it is almost always over the plate. i could increase contact but then you run into lots of HR's.

                      most of the other sliders i am happy with. basestealing is no longer automatic. you need a 3 click lead off to steal with many guys now. i could always steal with anybody with a one click lead.

                      give these sliders two or three games. my last two games were an 8-7 slugfest with over 5 HR's and the very next game only 7 total hits (both teams) and i lost on 3 hits, one walk and an over throw error after a catch in the outfield. the cpu only faced 28 batters.

                      if i could get some help on the human pitching side, that would be appreciated. i hope these sliders work for you.

                          Re: Slider tweaks for improved batting results

                          after much experimenting today, i discovered a pitching model i like. bigjoes 100 variability with effort pitching with out cursor or vibration. when your pitcher gets tired it is easy to miss your spots and/or get crushed.

                          plus you need to move human pitcher fatigue up to 65. the sliders for human and cpu fatigue work opposite it seems.
