Grinders MoM Personal Sliders

[Grinder12000]

These are MoM sliders, not CPU vs. CPU sim sliders. I'm not trying to push these on anybody but being an MoM player who just loves the game - this is what I do to get the most enjoyment (some people were asking)

These sliders have zero scientific research. I have played 162+ MoM games a year for 5 years now and feel I can tell when things seem "off". I also take into account other threads and complaints and adjust if I feel there is evidence that it's not just a short season anomaly.

I ALSO (for fun) adjust my sliders according to the weather. I don't think sliders do THAT much anyway but it makes me feel good and it's fun. One reason I do the weather slider is a lot of people are talking about the lack of MoM hitting WHICH could be because it's cool OR it could be the new software needs tweaking which is more likely.

It's a work in progress - and am ALWAYS open to comments and more adjustments from the MoM crowd

Weather Slider adjustment

I've put a lot of thought and used data from the last 10 years to come up with these - is it perfect - by no means - it's an experiment.

Adjust HUMAN also but I'm not sure what HUMAN really does in MoM

After 9 Mom games with the above sliders

SIM plus my 9 MoM games

Runs per game 3.61 (4.24)
BA .247 (.255)
OBP .312 (.317)
SLG .389 (.405)

Side note - one team is hitting .325 with a .491 SLG

The ACTUAL MoM games
5-1
8-2
5-4
6-3
3-1
5-2
4-3
7-6
1-0

Average 6.66 runs per game below the SIMED 7.22 I have always believed there is a difference between Mom and SIM

Time for some more tweaking - in RED

I was just wondering if these were vet hitting vet ptching or as/as/ or v/as? v=vetran
as= all-star

thanks for the info

[Grinder12000]

Those were AS but I'm not actually sure if there is a big difference in MoM games (can anyone answer that?)

What I'm doing is actually starting my league over. I saved the last Spring Training Game and replaying the season with the new red sliders that Nomo has been playing with plus my owned "feel right" sliders.

MY team is so weird it's tough to judge some things (high K, low hit, big power and SLOW)

One thing I have learned is save multiple files so if I hit SIM SEASON by accident I'm not screwed. I also save just BEFORE Regular Season just for this.

To be honest I was surprised the stats were not a lot worse. It FELT like there was a ton of low scores but really its not as horrific as I thought.

I updated my sliders after 15 games and comparing them to MLB averages.

The OLD sliders gave me these results

TheShow / MLB

AVG .240.4 / 248.2
OB 305.5 / 317.6
SLG 354.8 / 401,4

Slugging was the biggest problem and I upped SOLID hits 1

I also readjusted my temperature sliders for more power and slightly better contact. I have noticed but not with enough stats yet that the temp sliders seem to be working as advertised.

If you are wondering I adjust MY sliders and then just keep them that way for all SIMED games so the rest of the league plays with those same sliders.

Yea - it's not realistic for Arizona playing cold but . . . . what can ya do, let's not get anal and more work that there needs to be.

I'll update again in 15 games.

[Grinder12000]

A quick note - the Temperature sliders are working great EXCEPT - the devs have the temps wrong at times to I have been adding 10 degrees to the posted game time temps.

OR - The Show is goign through Global cooling. I took into account nighttime temps which bring it closer but I'm adding 10 degrees to every game time temp.

PLUS - I tweaked the sliders a tad I believe as posted in the OP.

Im using your sliders (a few tweaked very slightly) and seeing good results. Im 24 days, 18 games in. Batting averages are a little low for my team, but I am chalking it up to the 1st month. Im being struck out alot, and not striking out to many. Im the Indians, who were 8th in the league in RL. Any thoughts that might help that? Also, the wild pitch/hbp is a little high to me. How are you seeing those in your franchise? I was thinking of raising Consistency +1 to see if that would help. Other then those few little things, I am with your set for MoM!!! Awesome job!!!
