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

    opps...i take that back...you're the reds franchise. Hmm...then it makes me wonder because's LA threw less than 20 balls. I mean LA's pitching is good, but less then 20 balls per game is too litle I think. Was it a problem for you or did you think you swung too many balls?

    Also you're right saying that the Reds pitching staff isn't great. But if you wish I suggest that instead of raising the CPU BAtting average to 25. PLay on HVP while leaving the CPU to play on MVP as you had it all along. It might make the CPU hit a little more on you and get you to give up more walks.

    Just an idea.

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

            The two things that I noticed right away, looking at those stats (my thanks for the fellow who took the time to test those sliders), are:

            (a) way too few balls being thrown by either team's pitchers. He may want to turn variable pitching up a notch, as he indicated that he only throws balls (or was that walks?) when he wants to. This isn't Greg Maddux in.... cough....Atlanta Fulton County Stadium ; and

            (b) it looks like he is stealing bases whenever he wants to.....I'm not sure what he can turn up (shouldn't have to go adjusting player ratings) to make it more difficult to steal.

            I hope more people test out the slider settings, admittedly I don't have the patience to do so. I'm really looking forward to next year's WSB2K4, as I think they'll address these issues. WSB2K3 is already a beautiful "looking" product. Wait, where are my peanut vendors?!?

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

                    I think I have come up with some good ones:
                    CPU Pitching 60
                    CPU Batting Avg 20
                    Batting eye balls 70
                    Batting eye strikes 45
                    CPU throw strikes 10
                    Stealing 55

                    Settings, ALL STAR, pitch speed medium, Pitch cursor on, Strike zone off, Variable Pitching medium

                    You see some walks with these sliders. I played a 4-3 game won in 10 innings with White Sox over Indians last night. Lots of fun. I have both ASB and WSB and like the different styles of play. I have a Cardinals franch in ASB with cursor hitting, and timed hitting for WSB with white sox.

                        i tried something earlier today in an attempt to get the CPU to throw more balls. (i have to mention that i am not very good at hitting, so some of you may score too easily)

                        i put the CPU pitch ability on 15 and the throw strikes on 15 and CPU var pitch on high. i was detroit facing CC Sabathia of cleveland. after 5 innings CC had thrown 45 strikes and 35 balls for a total of 80 pitches. i only scored 1 run and had 2 hits.
                        try this out and tell everyone what you think

                            so you guys are saying it DOES matter what the cpu's settings are on in regards to cursor size, and var pitching and the other stuff?

                                Guys, the bottom line is, no matter what you do you still have to deal with an overweight strikezone and a bad ball to strike ratio.

                                After testing every possible combo, it's impossible for the user controlled pitcher to get realistic numbers. Thank God the game is amazing, because this is so butchered it's scary.

                                I have CPU pitching ability at 60 and throw strikes at 13 and the CPU pithers pitch extremely realistic. It's my pitchers that cannot walk anyone, it's annoying but I can overlook it for now.
                                be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those that mind, don't matter.
