Just to give all an update...I just played another game with the Phillies and Marlins. I'm the Phillies.

WIth the above slider settings here are the results

Phi 3 12 0
Mar 0 7 0

Phillies
Millwood 8 innings, 5 hits, 10 Ks
Pitches-Strikes: Millwood 81-66

Marlins
Burnett 5 innings, 5 hits, 2 runs, 1 BB, 5 Ks
Pitches-Strikes: Burnett 70-40

Basically to sum up, I got less K's with my top pitcher than with previous settings although I might try to raise the CPU Batting Eye (Strikes) to 70. However, I was pleased with the ratio of strikes and balls I was getting here.

I still kinda feel I got too many hits, but maybey it's because it's the Marlins.

Goodnite all

Pleased with the strikes to balls?? You had less than 20 balls. This is starting to really get annoying.

Yea...that's why I'm thinking of increasing the CPU batting eye(strikes) slider so that they'll swing more at strikes which will hopefully make me avoid the strike zone causing more balls...get it?

Re: I think I got it. New and improved sliders!!!

maybe this is just me, but if i have cpu eye (balls) at like 90 or whatever and they never swign at balls, i dont know why you would throw outside of the zone. you know they wont swing unless its inside the zone. if this doesnt maske sense tell me.

Hey Jordanfan23, you said you were going to play 2 more games with each set of sliders and see what you thought. Have you done so, and what did you find out? I haven't had a chance to try any of the updated sliders yet, so I'm curious what others are experiencing.

Even at 80 (where I have it now), they will swing outside the zone if you set it up correctly. I have my Batting Eye (strikes) slider at 60, and it works out nicely for me. They swing at most of the stuff near the middle of the strike zone, swing on the edge of the zone when they are down in the count, but leave the outer edges alone (better hitters only) when they can.

But if I work the inside of the plate on a batter (say a 2-2 count, all 4 pitches inside and hard), then throw a change-up outside or a curve low and away, I can get a realistic amount of swings.

One thing everyone seems to be missing here. YOU MUST PITCH LIKE A BIG LEAGUE PITCHER. If you are down in the count 3-1 on an average hitter, what do you do? If you throw a fastball down the pipe, you are (excuse my rudeness) an idiot. You should still be trying to hit the edges of the strike zone, and not give up an easy pitch for them to belt.

If you continuously pitch around the zone, you will get balls/walks issued to the CPU.

was wondering if any of you have put the VAR pitch for CPU on MED..and VAR pitch for HUMAN on HIGH??

I don't know if I will be able to play 3 more tonite b/c it is my Wedding Anniversary and the wife will have my arse if I power up the Xbox
I will definitely play them tomorrow morning and post a little deeper details when I finish! Once we find the sliders all we need is someome to update the rosters for the Action Replay and life will be real good

Re: I think I got it. New and improved sliders!!!

does it make a difference if you give the cpu team a large cursor rather than small or if you give them high var pitching rather than med? im talkign about starting a game and then switvhing sides to set the cpu options, then changing back. does anyone know?

Apparently it makes a world of difference. I had a game on very small - didn't get too many hits. I then changed it to small and I was getting more.

However, the key to hitting is in the variablility of the CPU pitcher. I was informed that MVP is more realistic then HVP. Although I wasn't able to try it out yet, I think they're right.

My slider settings are changing everyday, but since I'll be away for the next two days I won't be able to test the new slider settings till then, but I have a hypothesis for what should be better.

CPU Pitching combined with MVP - 100 (This is the KEY to realistic hitting and not getting struck out too much!)
But remember that having this on HVP may make it too easy for some while MVP may make it more difficult. If it's too difficult at MVP then I'm thinking about changing it back to 60 or as high as 80; depending on the number of hits and strikeouts that I get in the game.

CPU Batting Average - 20
So far this has been good to me, so no need to change it.

CPU Batting Eye (Balls) - 90
Same explaination as above

CPU Batting Eye (strikes) - 70
At 60 I had 10Ks with Milwood in 8 Innings against the Marlins. I'm aiming for less then 10, but more importantly, not to get so ahead of the count every single time I face a batter. Not getting ahead against the batter is more important to me than K's

CPU Throw Strikes - 10
Some people had this setting at 1. WOw, I mean I'm willing to do that if the CPU Pitch Ability at 100 with MVP is taking away my balls to strikes ratio. (It was good at 100 and HVP because the CPU threw 25-30 balls a game, but I was getting around 10-12 hits per game.)

I hope some can play with these All-Star settings at MVP, No K zone, no Pitch cursor, no Vibration, and small batting cursor.

Thanks
