P.A.D. MLB The Show 2016 LEGEND Sliders

[Padgoi]

I've been creating Hall of Fame sliders for the past few years now (including this year), but this is the first year that I feel Hall of Fame is a bit too easy. No matter how I change the sliders, the CPU just doesn't seem good enough. Whether it's throwing too many meatballs or just not being aggressive enough at bat, the CPU just isn't posing enough of a challenge on Hall of Fame difficulty, so I decided to try Legend difficulty. Please understand, I'm trying to replicate the authenticity and difficulty of real baseball, so some may find these very difficult while others may find them just right. This is the first time I've delving into the realm of Legend difficulty, so if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know in this thread. Also, these sliders ARE available in the Roster Vault under P.A.D. Legend Sliders 2. So without further ado:

Version 2 has been uploaded to the vault, made a few small changes as user and CPU offense was a bit too strong.

So I guess you didn't have a problem with the miraculous CPU comebacks in the late innings on HOF mode that occurred way too often in 15??

Honestly, no. I found Hall of Fame difficulty to be too easy, which is why I made Legend sliders.

P. A. D... You are a bada$$ bubba, playing on legend & killing it. I cant believe Im about to aay it but im about to make the change to legend.

I wouldn't go that far, I just think Hall of Fame is very easy this year. The CPU hitters show no urgency whatsoever. I've adjusted and adjusted all the sliders, the CPU of HoF just isn't as good as they should be. It got easy to the point that I saw myself dumbing down my own game just so the games would be competitive. I don't have to do that on Legend, these sliders make the game more realistic and challenging and make you focus on every pitch. That's what I'm looking for.

Let me know how it goes for you.

P.A.D, I'm glad to see you're making sliders for the legend. I always follow your threads because I think you have good opinions (insight) and a good eye for realistic baseball. I'm trying to find your update in the vault to the CPU offense that you made, but due to a really silly navagation menu in the vault I can't seem to find it. Can you please just list those five numbers for me?
