Hey xcell, what happened to your site?

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

DirtyD,

that's exactly what i've been experiencing. HVP made me throw too many pitches down the middle. Of course, if you're an expert WSB player then you might want to use HVP, but I'm not there yet.

Cell's site is down, but I got to the sliders page right before it went down. So here are his sliders:

XCELL's LEGENDARY Slider Settings
Makes for a tough, challenging, but fun experience!!!

CPU Pitch Ability: ... 62 ... This has the pitcher pitch on all parts of the strike zone occasionally giving you a throw down the middle to get a taste of timed hitting.

CPU Batting Average: ... 23 ... The CPU would get way too many hits before, but with this setting, when they face my 90 pitchers they get about 4 hits a game, and when they face my 60 pitchers they get about 12.

CPU Batting Eye (Balls): ... 90 ... You will have to make a good pitch to get the Majors out on a Ball, so this will increase walk totals (good!!!)

CPU Batting Eye (Strikes): ... 55 ... On this setting they swing at most strikes which results in less strikeout's and more outs in the field, which is my favorite way to get guys out in this game!

CPU Throws Strikes: ... 13 ... This will increase walk totals to about 2-3 pitched against you, as long as you are patient!

CPU Stealing %: ... 45 ... Simply the most realistic setting in how many times the CPU chooses to steal.


Difficulty: Legend
Sliders: Custom
Pitch Speed: Fast (I feel that this is fast enough to make it a tough count to go out and hit, but not as easy as Very Fast because on Fast you may move the batting cursor too far and miss, rather than move the cursor and get right on it on Very Fast.)
Cursor: Very Small
Pitch Cursor: Off (Creates more walks)
Strike Zone: Off (Creates more walks)
Active Bullpen: On
Variable Pitching: High
Pitch Preview: Off
Vibration: Off

If Doing a Franchise: Make YOUR pitches SPENT TIME ON Control at a 0 (Zero). This will increase your walk totals... so on average they will pitch you 2-3 BB, and you will pitch 2-3 BB. You and your opponent will also pitch over 30 balls a game.

TIP: It may seem wise to pitch the ball down the middle to avoid Ball 4 in a 3 ball count... but It isn't!!! (You will end up pitching right down the middle and they will smack one off of you... better to be safe then Really Sorry!)

. I'm gonna go try them out and edit my rosters again...I was re-naming all the players, when I accidentally edited a player who caused the game to lock up, so I lost all of it .

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

This just in--I solved the problem with the CPU striking out to damn much.

I raised the Batting eye(strikes) slider to 85--and I had on average 7 Ks in 3 games. It was really tough to get one and I felt ultra satisfied when I did get one. One game I could only manage to get 2 Ks total in the game. And the CPU only 10 hits and scored 5 runs on me. Next game my starter struck 7 out in 6 and a half innings and the bullpen only struck out 2 the rest of the game.

I feel on the higher setting for batting eye, you're almost forced to throw balls against good hitters b/c they might hit succesfully on your first pitch. It also made me use more stratergy w/ my pitches. At first I could pick and throw anything but now I really have to make smart choices with the kind of pitch I throw and where I throw it. On 0-2 counts I intentionally threw balls to get them to chase it and it only worked 2 times. BTW, I increased the Balls slider to 80. It seems really strategic now and the CPU will swing at alot of pitches in the zone.

I know you're thinkin, will that make the CPU swing to early in the count eliminating the deep counts? Well sort of, only if youtry to throw strikes 100% of the time. Now you have to intentionally throw outside to set the CPU up for a quality pitch. Resulting in more walks and less Ks. Try it and see how you do.

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

wouldn't it make sense if the CPU hitting was raised instead of the batting eye (strikes)?
