How do you get so many? I can't get any at all. I take pitches, but it seems like they are always strikes. It is really annoying.

Re: Pared's MVP 2005 Gameplay Sliders

Nice work with the sliders Pared!! I played about 5 games with them and here are the latest results with Boston!

Here is what happened:

Score: NY4 - Boston1

Mussina - 6 IP, 8 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 SO Left the game with 36% stamina and 72 pitches thrown!!
Quantrill- 2IP, 4H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO
Rivera- 1 IP, 0H, 0 ER, 0BB, 1SO

Schilling -7 IP, 11H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 5 SO Left the game with 31% stamina and 98 pitches thrown!
Timlin - 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO

Still trying to get the pitch counts up for the user controlled pitcher. He seems to run out of stamina before achieving optimum pitch counts.

I played with these sliders and had Tony Armas Jr. throw 107 pitches to me, and threw like 87 with Thomas Glavine through 6 2/3. I won 4-3, and walked one. I walked like 7 times.

Here's the initial release!

Remember, this is still a work in progress, so enjoy, and don't forget that feedback is always key!

Pared's MVP 2005 Gameplay Sliders v. 0.5

Difficulty: All-Star
Strike Zone: Off
Hot/Cold Zones: Fade
Pitch Cursor: Fade or Off
Variable "Stuff": On

User Pitch Meter Difficulty: -23
Pitch Speed: -5 (or default, no big difference, except off speed pitches are harder to hit on -5)
CPU Pitcher Ball Rate: 8

Pitcher Injury Frequency: 0
Batter Injury Frequency: 0
Fielder Injury Frequency: 7
Pitching MG Difference: 0

PHEW! As you can see the list is long, but I have to give lots of credit to the MVP development team, as this game was REALLY great out of the box. Even though it is great out of the box, here is a list of improvements this version addresses:

-Pitch counts; Increased for both User and CPU
-The slow baserunners can no longer be thrown out on plays where the fielder dives, spins, adjusts his crotch, checks out the hot girl in the third row, and then throws to first. Ichiro/Pierre still blaze down the line, but not inbelievably so.
-CPU Batters will now take a first pitch strike here and there, plus can get caught looking with proper pitching strategies. Their contact was raised to allow more solid contact and to also offset the increased number of fouls.
-Increased number of foul balls hit.
-User has a LOT less control when pitching. Missing the perfect zone allows for pitches to miss their spots immensely, directly correlated to the meter. In other words, the further you are from the Perfect zone, the more you will see how off the pitch is from the initial spot.
-Meter is a bit tougher to hit the Perfect spot all the time. You really must work for it.
-Baserunners are more aggressive. I'm not done with steal delay and steal speed. The steal delay has to be a lot less, so you can get the impression that a runner "takes off" as soon as they think the pitcher commits to home. Must be offset by Steal speed, however.

Some notes:

-The sliders with (MVP) next to them are the speeds of the players when the CPU is controlling them, before the user takes control.
-Some few have said they've been able to throw players out at first from line drives to RF... while I have not seen it, keep in mind the stadium you're playing in. The baserunning speed increase should help this as well.
-I have not done any testing on any other levels, as I still have much more to look at on the All-Star level.

There you have it, a very early set so you can get an idea of what's being tweaked. Constructive comments/feedback always welcome!

Enjoy!

Thanks Pared in advance, I will check it out.

Hey Pared, Awesome sliders as usual. Any idea what the pitcher MG slider is?

Re: Pared's MVP 2005 Gameplay Sliders

Pretty nice sliders Pared, although the 2 games I've played have both been very low scoring, 1-0 and 2-0 with me winning both. I can't really hit any homers, but I guess that will come with time. Everything else is great man keep it up!

Pared great work man!

Going to give the sliders a try tonight.

Hey Peter,
A little off topic, but I love that (stratusfacton slide). LOL!
