    ***The 'Perfect' Slider Set*** MLB 09 - The Show

    Some of you (hopefully more than some) will remember the "Perfect" set from 08, and i hope they gave many people much enjoyment. This is to announce that the Perfect 09 set are under development, i have had numerous PM's asking about them so this is just to make it public.

    As i said last year, please dont open this thinking im so conceited i think i have found perfection or even close to it, i havent, however what i have done is create a set of sliders for All-Star (you can use them on other levels if you want but they have been made with All-Star in mind) that i believe gives me, and hopefully you, the greatest balance of gameplay we can currently find.

    I have created a spreadsheet and included what i consider to be the premier slider sets in here, namely Blzers, rudyjulys, Skyboxers and DallasRocks. Ive put them against each other, averaged figures to a certain degree, tested each set seperately and now i have basically merged what i believe to be the "strongest" part of each set to create this "perfect" set. I also tried default for a while so i could measure the changes against the box, so to speak.

    Im currently putting the finishing touches to them and testing so i should be able to get the sliders themselves out later work permitting.

    Sit tight :wink:

      Thanks for the comments brunnoce.

      ON, after reading just about that whole thread i truly believe it isnt reversed...but worded badly, and having it on means its off, anyway, thats for another thread.

      Sliders to come tomorrow/Wednesday most likely now i imagine folks.

          Great to hear PsychoBulk

          I loved your sliders on '08 and I can't wait to use your sliders with '09

          What I love the most is knowing your a proud (SWING ONLY) player like myself so I can rest assured that your sliders will be built for that style of play

          All I need is your "Perfect" slider set and Knights Full Minors Roster and I'm ready to PLAY BALL :wink:

            I think I used yours last year but I think I'm going to stick with ToObrien's this year. I'm playing on veteran and they seem to be really working for me in the early going. Unless it becomes to easy I doubt I'll change them. I'm getting a good variety of games from them.

            I'm interested in seeing the combinations you have come up with though, might save your sliders for future reference.

              No worries Braves Fan appreciate your input.

              Others, Dodger, Tribe etc, after spending most of today number crunching and testing extensively ive got the set together. A little more testing tomorrow to see if any tweaks needed and i should have version 1.1 up sometime tomorrow or early Wednesday, bit more patience guys nearly there, im surprised its only taken 2 weeks of having the game to get to this stage this year, took longer last year, thats probably because it does play better out of the box and not as much tweaking is needed.

                    Hey Physco, you including my set? I believe it plays well on All-Star as well as HOF. Averages look good to me

                      Here we go then fellas

                      Some of you may remember i did this for The Show 08 last year and without blowing my own trumpet, i like to think it was one of the busiest and most appreciated sets around, i certainly received PM's saying so (much appreciated guys), so i do know a thing or two about sliders, but certainly dont pretend to be any sort of genius. Im not going to list any settings such as API on/off, guess pitch, PCI etc, as they are all your individual choice, suffice to say i have any user help feature off.

                      For reference these are with CPU Comeback OFF.

                      Please dont play 3/4 games with these, see some results and stats you think odd and come on here bleating, they need time to show the variation they give and to even out. Feedback with boxscores over time and stats as they settle down are however appreciated and will help me with any tweaks i make in future.

                      Please, show patience and these sliders shall reward you!

                      Ive been slowly putting these together since i got the game and am getting every sort of game imaginable, blowouts, pitchers duels, comeback wins, wide wins, 2/3 run games, all sorts, these sliders really have opened up this already amazing game to me even more.

                      Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, i can certainly take any constructive criticism on the chin, after all we all only want the same thing, to make the game play as realistically as it possibly can.

                      I think the key thing for me with this set i have found can be summed up in this statement:

                      "Play well, hit your spots, time your swings and you can win, but not all the time, play badly, miss your spots and mistime your swings, you will lose, but not all the time"

                      Just like real Baseball folks, hopefully!

                      Remember, 0 is all the way to the left, 5 is default (i.e. leave it alone) and 10 is all the way to the right.

                      So, without further ado, here is the opening effort on this years game...
