I've played a few games using these sliders. I played countless games in MLBTS 18 using the base set. Little has changed in 19 from 18. The CPU power is stronger this year (IMO). The pitch speed is noticeably faster in 19 than 18. I may lower the outfield catching errors from 6 to 5, but can't quite determine that yet - they have undoubtedly made that a bit harder this year (though they took out the option for the level you play on).

I know these are a bit unorthodox...and they're not for everyone. But the sim factor is a TON of fun! I am a long-time MLB 2K baseball player from the 360, so I started with that interface as that's what I had grown comfortable playing for many years. If this set isn't for you, there are other great slider creators who will provide something you'll enjoy.

I want the pitching to be a challenge. I recognize the user stamina at 4 might be a head-scratcher to some, but starters are going fewer innings, and with the lowered stamina it also adds a difficulty to nailing your spots later in the game, forcing you to go to your bullpen.

Even with the user hitting sliders lowered out to zero, I've actually had some lengthy at-bats in 19, including a 12 pitch at-bat with Jose Ramirez of the Indians.

Feedback is appreciated! Thanks! And remember - just have fun...it's still a game.

I also had a 12 pitch AB with Pedroia and then a 8 pitch AB with him his next AB.

I'm about to do up a boxscore of my first game man I'll post it soon.

I was just going to send you a note that I decided to go ahead and put a "version 1" up of this set - though I truly doubt anything will change.

I had cpu pitcher consistency at 4 but couldn't get much offense going. I put it at 2 and the pitcher had a number of wild pitches. At 3, it seemed to level out and play really nice.

I also am not sure about the cpu outfield errors. I'm going to leave them at 6 for now. At 5 I never had any troubles, so I think 6 will make us focus in a bit more.

Right out of the gate, in the 6 games I played, I really LOVED the way these feel. 19 plays so close to 18 that there's little to change. Pitch speeds are faster, so I just compensated down from 8 (in 18) to 7 (in 19). When I lowered to 6, it felt too easy to get hits.

Any feedback from you is much appreciated as I know you've invested a good deal into this set. Really appreciate it!

I always use Classic pitching, can’t play with anything else.

I can’t imagine I would need to change any sliders using Classic?

Honestly man you'd have to play and see. I could see you possibly having to raise control nor consistency a click as classic can get wild sometimes.
