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

    Where are we on HVP vs. MVP?

    I have mainly used MVP. I am happy with my pitching results. As long as CPU BA is high enough, I have to throw alot of balls to be effective.

    I still can't get good hitting results though. I am not getting enough walks no matter what I do. I have TS at 1 and I am very patient at the plate. In fact I have so many deep counts that my K totals are too high as well. My hits and runs are ok.

    Moving pitch speed from fast to medium makes hitting too easy. I am thinking of trying HVP. Does the CPU walk you alot more on this setting? Or do they fall behind in the count and then throw meatballs?

            You know, I've never gone as far as to post my sliders, but I've been using these since Day two of having the game... If I would have known this was such a big issue for some of you all, I would have helped you all out!

            CPU PA 100, MVP for the CPU, HVP for the player.
            CPU BA 30
            BE(B) 85
            BE(S) 58
            CPU TS 8
            CPU SF 48

            Now.... I didn't want to post these earlier, but damn.... c'mon guys, this is as pretty damn close as you're going to get!

            I'm using the following modified version of Pared's sliders and I'm getting realistic results:

            CPU PA 100
            CPU BA 30
            BE(B) 100
            BE(S) 100
            CPU TS 1
            CPU SF 50

            Pared, thanks for posting your sliders. I spent over a month tinkering with the BA around 40, but I never would have realized that I can get excellent results with the BA at 30. By the way, having the BA (S) and (B) set at 100 allows the CPU to get a realistic amount of walks and strikeouts. When I throw really nasty pitches with good pitchers, I can still get a called third strike or get the batter to chase a ball out of the strike zone. If you want the CPU to take strikes at this setting, you have to paint the border of the strikezone, and this results in more walks too, since I attempt to pitch around the border of the strikezone everytime.

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

                    A couple of changes:

                    CPU PA 100
                    CPU BA 30
                    BE(B) 100
                    BE(S) 100
                    CPU TS 10
                    CPU SF 60

                    I was averaging 4-5 walks a game instead of a realistic 3-4 walks a game with TS at 1, so I raised it to 10. If you're not patient at the plate, leave TS at 1.

                    The CPU doesn't run the bases aggressively enough with SF at 50. I noticed that I was giving up the least number of doubles and steals, so I raised the SF to 60. This is working better, and the CPU tries to Hit and Run more often too. SF is the last slider I'm tinkering with right now.

                            I;ve tried lowering the BE (s) to 20 and the CPU takes more strikes.....I wouldn't put this above 40...and tweak the CPU batting higher

                                if you find a good setting on the BE(S), please post it....thats the only problem i really run into...the cpu swinging at way too many first pitch strikes, and strikes period for that matter....ive been playing with it at 65, but my plan is to lower it to 58 and play it that way over the weekend, see how it goes

                                I have been happy with BE(S) at 40. I used to have it way up in the 80-90 range. As long as you have CPU BA and BE(b) high enough(40/70), you won't get excess K's. CPU BA is the most important variable in determing how many K's you get.

                                im testing out this theory, as it sounded logical......ive only put in 1 game, so too early to make big judgements, however.....

                                i was pitching with David Cone, who in the past would rack up the k's, no matter what i did.....but with the CPU BA moved up to 40, and the BE (S) dropped to 30, i was able to pitch him 6 2/3 and got only 4 k's, pitch count in the 70s/80s, and the took quite a number of called strikes as opposed to hacking at everything.....so for a first try, very good results indeed.....good call, Snate
