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

Hey Stilts....

Any more updates with the current settings you're using? If I remember correctly these should be your settings.

CPU PA 95, MVP
CPU BA 37
BE(B) 85 * not too sure on this one
BE(S) 55 * not sure on this one either
CPU TS 1
CPU SF 45

With CPU PA at 95 do you
1. Get too many Ks against you
2. CPU get realistic pitch counts(over 100 pitches per game?)
3. Get a good amt of Walks

With CPU BA and BE sliders at where it is does the CPU swing at everything still? And do they get unrealistic amt of hits per game?

thanks

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

My settings are CPU PA 95, HVP, CPU BA 40 CPU BE (S) 55 CPU BE (B) 75, CPU TS 3, CPU st 45. With these settings ive gotten the two most intense games ive had so far, and the most realistic. i believe i posted my results against radke and the twins, and i just played another game, which was a hit fest. however, it was a hit fest on both ends, which ended in the game being 10-8 me... my bullpen just wasnt doing the job. With these settings im striking about about 4-8 times a game, getting plenty of walks... the pitch counts were really high for last game, because there were so many hits and runs scored, but realistically high, what i've been looking for. And the best part, the computer will take strikes when i hit the corners, and every once in a while wont swing at not so perfect strikes either. in the last game, i only had 5 K's total, so that ended up very well.

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

just an update, had a 1-0 pitchers duel going into the bottom of the 8th against the angels, clemens vs lackey, when clemens got tired and gave up a grand slam. box score:
NYY 0 3 0 ANA 6 14 0 (deceptively high score and hits, most came in 8th) Clemens 7 IP, 11H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 5 K's, 108 pitches-72 strikes. Karsay 10-6, weaver 3-2. 121 pitches for the game. Lackey 9 IP, 3H 2BB, 6 K's, 102pitches-70 for strikes. sliders are looking great.

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

OK. I know that I can't say for sure, but I feel these sliders are set right now where it's at. In other words, I'm happy about these settings:
1. CPU PA 95, MVP
2. CPU BE(B) 85 (maybe 90 if they swing at a lot of balls)
3. CPU TS 1
4. CPU SF 45 (some had this higher, but as I said in a previous post, this is little concern to me right now)

As you can see, the two sliders I'm working on is the CPU BA and the CPU BE(S). I have two options. Make the CPU BA higher and the CPU BE(S) lower. This would teach and almost force me to be more strategic (thus increasing the amt of Walkes) with my pitches or the CPU will punish me for throwing it down the middle all the time and hopefully they won't swing at too many first strike pitches (thus increasing my pitch count per game). The only thing I fear is that if I lower the CPU BE(S) too much then I'll strike out CPU too many times as I was doing before. But I think increasing the CPU BA up will counter that so that I won't throw too many down the middle.

THe problem I have now is how high is too high for CPU BA? At 40 I was getting hit left and right. I feel at 37 it shold be good. But what about the CPU BE(S) I know many people have been working on that and I'll try their suggestions out, but please keep us updated about the results in terms on Ks, BBs, and pitch count after the games.

Thanks

Try both of those at 60. With BA at 60, you fear the better hitters, and the poorer hitters usually make hits that are easy to field when they make contact. With BE(S) at 60, most hitters will take several pitches if you paint the corners, and the strikeout and walk numbers are realistic for me when I pitch since I respect every batter.

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

One quick addition to my post above, most sure you have the BE(B) set at 60 just like the BA and BE(S). If you have the BE(B) set higher than 60, the CPU will be able to better recognize that a pitch inside the zone at the corner is not a ball and will swing at it, but with the BE(B) and BE(S) both set a 60, there is a fine balance where the CPU will not know whether you are pitching a ball or strike near the corners, so they will often take the pitch, or swing and miss, or make poor contact even with the BA set at 60. In other words, these three sliders have an effect on each other, and I think that default All-Star for hitting gives the perfect balance for pitching to the CPU.

Hey WSB, try my sliders for a game or two, I have been getting excellent results, tell me what you think

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

I went from WSBfanatic's slider settings to stilts1844's slider settings (based off of Fanatic's) and I must say, I enjoy stilts much better. Of course, the way I play my game may differ from Fanatics or stilts (or even both).

What consoles are you guys using? Maybe a difference in console version will slightly alter everything. I'm thoroughly enjoying stilts sliders on the XBox.
