I have API set to default, so the catcher calls the pitches for me. I really enjoy that set up. It is a game within a game.

In regards to the sliders, I lost 2-0 during a fictional spring training game. I drew about five walks and hit into 3 double plays. I saw some things that I haven't seen yet playing with default sliders. A few infield singles and a couple of gappers that would have been outs. I will keep playing with these. Great work PB.

I also pitch with the API on and it solves a multitude of issues, not the least of which is lack of Human walks.

On the topic of this thread, I've been using PB's sliders for what seems like forever and this set is fantastic to start off with. I think there might need to be a tweak here and there, but it may be simply because I play on HOF across the board.

Thanks again, PB. Keep up the good work.

well i played a few games, the sliders and such are great feels realistic, though i just cannot stand pulse pitching. i feel like i spend most of my time just trying too hard to wait for the perfect moment to hit the button, also kind of makes me feel nauseous a little trying too much at that damn pulse lol.

maybe i should just not care about waiting and hit the x whenever i set where i am aiming and just hope when i hit x that is when the pulse is it's smallest.

Still trying to find my ideal set. Fired these up last night just using classic pitching in lieu of pulse (which makes my head hurt). Well, I played one game as the Mets versus the Nats....which lasted 25 bloody innings before Strasburg (who was pitching in relief) hit a sac fly with runners on 2nd and 3rd....I wasn't even mad...just happy it was over

Impressions:

• Excellent variety in hit types
• I could definitely tell when I was using a strikeout pitcher (versus a groundball guy or control artist).
• These fielding settings feel dead-on to me.
• I forgot to look at the strike percentage at the end of the game....but I checked periodically throughout the game (as a measure of my own plate discipline) and they were consistently in the 60s.

I know as well as anyone that one game (even one lasting 25 innings) is not enough sample size. However, I am one that believes that core animations and AI responses should dictate one's slider settings (and if those are set well, the stats will follow). I think you may have nailed them here....

Oh yes....and these are totally compatible with Classic pitching....

Damn 25 innings? Amazing.

Yeah I switched back to classic pitching and dynamic default difficulty. Perfect mix for me. I couldn't hit the ball on all star yet.

Yep same here

Some of the sliders that I have changed are as a result of playing on HOF with QC. And for those wondering, these sliders generally work great with those settings, because PB tends to not go to extremes manipulating sliders, which is one of the reasons I use these sliders year in year out.

But there's common sliders irregardless of settings and the one that I'm finding might need some tweaking once I have a bigger sample size is the relationship between Baserunner Speed and OF Arm Strength. With both being at 4, I'm finding a few too many OF assists. At least so far.

Quick question, are you guys using guess pitch at all? Played 3 games last night, and I know that's a small sample, but I could hardly hit. I wasn't using guess pitch, just waiting for a pitch I liked and pushing X. Just wanted to make sure I'm using these sliders as intended before I go further. Everything else about them is excellent so far.
