Ballin095's All-Star Sliders... Probably The Most Sim-Like Slider Set Available

Yeah. i was just about to mention that. You really have to think about what you're doing or you WILL get burned.

Last question, how else is everything playing out for you?

All else seems to be good. Of course I will have to play multiple games to give you an accurate read. I may just start a fake franchise with your sliders to play a few games with them.

Cool let me know what you come up with.

Just wanted to post stats from my first game. I started a dummy franchise with the Dodgers and played the Padres:


Dodgers 4 8 1
Padres 2 6 1

I hit 3 HRs (Loney for one and Kemp had 2). The cpu offense was held in check most of the game as I was lighting them with up Kuroda striking out 5 of the firist 6 batters faced. Then they got to within one run in the 6th but I got my homer in the 7th and closed the door on them. Had a lot of multi pitch at bats both ways with a lot of pitches fouled off. Peavy went about 6 1/3 and threw between 80-87 pitches (didn't remember to keep track...sorry).

Overall they work great so far. I just need to work on my patience at the plate as I am a hacker by nature.
I struke out 12 times....lol.

How are the walk totals with these sliders? I really hate averaging 1BB per game, and it's not because I'm swinging at ball four or not taking counts deep enough. With every other slider set I've used, the four-pitch walk is non-existant.

The cpu goes 3-0, then instantly paints the black three or four times in a row, requiring 7-8 pitches of fouling off before they throw a blatant ball...

I'll give these a shot and see what it's like.

Trust me, as long as you're patient, you willget walks. You just have to earn them.

Well, so far so good. In three games with another slider set I drew three walks, and in two games with this set, I've drawn 10!

I've been hitting HRs and doubles, so everything on the human hitting side and cpu pitching side looks pretty realistic.

I think human pitching or cpu hitting is a bit off -- I shutout the Mets with Andrew Miller... he K'ed 10 and only walked three while holding them to TWO hits.

How are these without the left stick hitting? I only use the button...rely on timing/contact.
