Fatpitcher...

If I could offer some advice. Most games that have sliders make the mistake in having sliders that affect the game but not in the right way.

Let me give you an example, if the CPU is batting for high averages that aren't realistic then we go into the game and mess around with the slider. Usually it's a slider from 1-10 or 1-100 or whatnot. But why isn't the slider numbers tangible to baseball numbers. So if the BA is too high, instead of dropping it to 40, we drop the average number of hits a game. Or even a value of say BA.

What I'm saying is if I want to have CPU not hit so well, I want a slider that easy to understand. No something where I have a hard time figuring out that difference between 50 and 60.

In WSB I think it could be more beneficial to try and make them as close to baseball stats as can be.

If the CPU is hitting too many homeruns, instead of doing it like HH where I move it a little to left but not really knowing what one click does. I could say move it to an average of 1.3 homers per game. If I wanted to see more CPU strikeouts I could up an average that I know would serve as a guide but not make the adhere rigidly to these numbers.

I don't think every value could be applies this way, but it the least its a way for gamers to tune their game without all the guessing.

I just get a little tired of sliders that I move up 5, then play a few then up 7 then play a few and it's really not tuning the game it's just a lot of guess work.

Re: Sliders - what should be added?

one thing that cannot be missed next year is: A OPTION FOR THE SIZE OF THE STRIKE ZONE! please please add this. This could get a little tricky, but with the other sliders you should be able to get the CPU to throw strikes into what ever size the zone is.

All the same sliders for the User

All ratings get slider tendencies. (If you put homerun rating from 50 to 100... If you were a 100 at Homeruns already... you are never going to not get homeruns, but if you slip it down to say 10, it will be really hard to even get a homer with a guy like Bonds!)

Fatpitcher,

Great job on the game. To take the leap to the next step:

1. Ability to play any game at any time. Why if I pick the Yankees in Franchise can't I play a big matchup between the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks? Why have no games other than HH permitted this? After all, its my league.

2. Show the pitching matchups on the schedule, eg Mussina 10-5 v. Pedro 12-2.

3. Manager tendencies - The player should be able to set manager tendencies for every team. If I want to create the '85 Cardinals with all their steals, so be it. The tendencies should be for stealing, hit and run, bunting, bullpen usage, frequency of pinch hitting, bunting, frequency of pinch running.

4. Game play sliders - the more the better. I agree with the sliders mentioned above and I would add one for baserunning aggressiveness. I would love to see more aggressive AI. I would also love to see an adjustment for ground balls v. flys.

5. Does anyone else notice that 3rd baseman rarely get balls hit to them?

6. Multiple lineups - why have just four? why not have eight or ten and you can set a percentage as to which one to play?

7. Ability to edit AI lineups. You should be able to change any lineup at any time if the AI is doing a bad job.
