Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

Re: Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

Jistic,
I started a dynasty with the Twins where I play every game and use your V.2.1 sliders. I loved the sliders at first, and still do when it comes to batting. However, pitching has become too easy in my opinion.

Here are my stats after 27 games....19 W, 8 L, 120 RS, 80 RA, .292 BA, 18 HR, 23 SB, 2.83 ERA. I have a 4.5 game lead over Detroit at this point.

It seems like my batting stats are pretty good, though HR's are a bit low. The problem is my ERA. It's way too low.

I'm also starting to get really low pitch counts, especially with my better pitchers. Radke just threw a 81 pitch complete game and Santana just threw 76 pitches in 8.1 innings. I do have vibration turned on though, maybe I should turn it off?

I'm not expecting you to cater to my needs. I just thought you'd like some feedback from someone who's played MVP for the last couple years.

I appreciate your work on this stuff.

I was basically were you were on pitching. I did the following.

Pitch speed = -10 (you need to increase power)
Pitch Meter -30
CPU Contact 10
CPU Power 0-5 (5 seems too high and 0 seems too low) in both cases a mistake will probably result in a HR. I now have it set on 2.

user contact = 40
user power = 30

I still can't hit too many home runs. I don't get how this guys hit HRs. Are these just holding up the whole time waiting in a zone? for me this is unrealistic. I want to hit a HR without holding up. The only way I can hit i homer is 1) lefty - much easier =hold up and in 2) right = go opposite field hold up and out. If i try and pull a right i get a line drive out to the 3b or left fielder.

Re: Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

Ok here's a very small revision. I did some more drastic tweaking, but always found myself going back to the last version. There were some slight CPU hitting and overall fielding I thought needed tweaking. You won't notice a dramatic difference in these, as it's not needed IMO. If you've made your own tweaks and are happy with them, no need to change.

Re: Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

Jistic - You aren't having any problems with the CPU scoring runs with their contact/power down? I've been using your last version of sliders, but bumped the CPU contact to 15 and CPU power to 10 to get more offense.

Other than that, the only difference is that I have vibration off as well. I prefer all pitching aids turned off.

Anyhow, just curious about the CPU offense. When I faced guys like Pujols or Bonds with the contact/power in the negative, they usually went down too easily.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Re: Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

I dont actually know what the bullpen grace does but I was wondering if Jistic could look into it and see what the effect might be. You still have it at 0. My bullpen does not tire after game and I think this might be the reason. Others have spoken on it, but nothing definitive has come from it. I assume this could be done by you Jistic since this is what you do. THanks for all your hard work.

I agree but 15/10 seems to high unless you are my perfect in the green zone.

Joeboo. No the CPU is hitting me fine. Just finished a series against the Yankees and A-Rod and Posada were sending them out of the yard wayyyy too much.

I have tested these over many games and they work for me. However if you're having issues, then by all means raise the CPU hitting and let me know how it goes. Everyone's different ya know.

Re: Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

Jistic, You dont thikn you Human contact/power are REALLY high? I was using Pareds at one point with 7/7 and was jacking them out of the park.

Re: Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

Not for me. Don't get hung up so much on the slider numbers. Results speak for themselves. If you are a great hitter and hitting too many, then yes turn it down. For me, I don't have that problem.
