Armor & Sword's/Marino's MLB 14 The Show Timed/Classic Sim Sliders

[Team Woopie]

Sliders look good man, but I need a little advice.


What's the feeling re normal, contact and power swings?


I'm using analog plus zone.


Last year's game didn't require you to change between the three in order to get the range of results (singles, doubles, HRs etc).


But this year's game seems to be very hard to get homers if you only use the normal swing (playing all star sliders).


Should i be using power swing when ahead in the count this year?

I would only advise you to use power swings with your best power hitters on 3-0 green light and 3-1 counts if at all. I rarely if ever use power swing. I always have used normal.

Contact I use when behind in he count 0-2, 1-2 or when I really want to make sure I make contact for a sac, sac fly type situation. With my best contact hitters who also have great plate discipline I will stick with normal when behind in the count as I can check swing with them far better then others and not get caught nearly as often chasing a slider or a low change or splitter when behind in the count.

I would say keep playing…..if after say 20-25 games your power outage continues….bump up human power a click and see how it goes.

You may want to also try dynamic difficulty with hitting and see where it levels you off and settles your skill level if your getting slideritis.

Armor just wanting to say thanks for taking the time to make a set for QC also. As an OP stated above I have kids and not to mention a wife that at times can get frustrated at me taking so much time to finish a game of baseball. The QC option makes my life easier and your sets have always worked well for me. By the way your set on madden 25 was great also! I don't post to much, but wanted to take the time to say thanks for the time and effort you put in!

My pleasure man. Glad they are working well for you!

I only have a small sample size in 14 but I had about 60 games last season and I still have the same issue. Too many HRs for me and too few for the CPU. Might try power adjustments but otherwise digging these so far. Tried hitting on HOF and couldn't do it.

Exactly......tweak up CPU power and tweak down yours.

Are you playing with classic pitching?

Just wanted to say I've been trying these out and have been having real good results so far......

also on a side note I literally just had a pitcher throw the ball in the dirt and then bounce and hit my batter and have it called a HBP

It is an HBP.
