Re: Pared's MVP 2005 Gameplay Sliders

Any one notice that the infielders get to everything? Middle infielders running halfway out to the outfield to make catches? I really like your Sliders, but I might have to try to slow down the infielders even more to see if this helps. No "seeing" eye singles, they get to everything. I am 2-5 with the mets so far, (I can't hit) I am working on it though, gotta be more selective at the plate I guess. Nice work on the Sliders!

I really stuggle to hit hr's. Lots of warning track power, but few homers. Some gappers. I love Pared's settings except for the power shortage i'm experiencing.

I was expeirencing this at first too, but then after a while, I started getting usually a homerun a game, sometimes 2-3. Just depends. Waiting for the right pitch is the key.

Re: Pared's MVP 2005 Gameplay Sliders

I'm giving up at least 2 homers per game, EVERY game. The computer is scoring 70% of their runs this way and it's rather annoying. Plus, I never strike out more than 6 or 7 per game, and sometimes only K two guys in a game. My pitching stats are brutel and I am getting shelled. Hitting is not a problem, but I'm tired of losing games 8-5 most of the time. I'm 0-7 thus far and have blown two saves with the Twins.

Any suggestions on how to strike more guys out, and cut down on the homers?

One thing that's made a considerable difference for me, which is uite possibly painfully obvious to everyone else, is to make sure and feature, predominantly, your pitchers best pitch. Some starters only have a plus fastball and a couple other only average pitches. When you have one of those guys on the hill, your best bet is to throw tons and tons of fastballs, changing the location and even the amount of the meter you fill to try and keep them from timing the pitch. As for HR's, the lions share that I give up come from missing the pitch meter, but when I can manage to stay consistent and hit the meter, the HR's are vastly less frequent. For strikeout pitches, the 2 best I've found so far (provided your pitcher can actually throw a decent one) are a 2-seamer that rides hard inside (either on the black or inside out of the strike zone) and a changeup to either the top or bottom outside edge of the strike zone. If your pitcher has a poorly rated changeup, they tend to rock that one, however, so be aware of that. I'd say, overall, I'm probably at about a K per inning. I'll rack up 8-10 w/ Pedro one start, then only 2-3 another start, it varies considerably depending on "stuff" I imagine.

Re: Pared's MVP 2005 Gameplay Sliders

I'm so happy with the 1.0 sliders that I don't even care about an update. I'll obviously check it out when Pared releases it, but man, he did an awesome job on these.

Then you're not effectively managing your BP if you're seeing a trend where you lose it in the later innings.

Also, the power increase helps emulate the fact that a hitter can go deep on a pitcher when you least expect it. You can be having a really good game 3 innings in, sitting 7 straight batters, then BOOM! Just like that, you give up a HR to a team's role player. Gotta love it, in a sick sort of way.

Honestly, you guys are hitting HRs with power at 7? With guys like Brandon Inge, Utely, Hinske, etc? guys that in real life can hit one.
