DrUrsus All-Star Sliders to draw walks, be selective & CPU plays "fairer" game

[gminnick9]

Through five games with the Reds I am hitting .276 with 9 homeruns and only 3 doubles. Is anyone else having this issue? I am not using the power swing button.

You gotta go more then just a couple games before deciding on changing power. Ive played numerous games with power for the CPU at 6 and have gone through stretches where they arent able to get the ball out of the park and then other times where they are just killing the ball. In my last game I lost 8-7 thanks to a walkoff homerun from Soriano and earlier that same game Soto blasted a mistake slider for another homerun. In the game before that it was a low scoring game where everything hit in the air died, so give it time before formulating an opinion on anything power related.

Nah. I've had a healthy 2:1 ratio. Granted, it's only been like 6 games so far. But I've had similar results with similar sliders for over 20 games.

Check the wind every game, it seems to really matter. Also, if you are in the Nati, that is a band box (I have been to a ton of games there). Give it about 20 games before deciding on user power. If it is still too high, I would drop it 1 or 2 depending on your skill. I am pretty happy with it so far in all of my franchises, even the Red Sox one.

Take timing down. I am contact 1, timing 3, and hit way more triples and doubles than home runs.

I'm approaching 20 games into my new season with Toronto. I'll post up stats when the time comes

Although, I ended up turning down my User Control to 5 because my pitching has become too good. I also turned down User Consistency too.
