TheWarmWind's Impact Sliders 2019

[TheWarmWind]

V4 incoming soon. I think I've identified the issues and resolved them. A big part of the problem was I was trying to find parity of settings by tuning to me, and then copying those settings to the CPU.

I've switched to my mentality, instead tuning to the CPU, and then copying those settings over to me to see how they feel.

Also, after turning down strike frequency I realized that the issue wasn't their strategy, but their control. Their may be parity in hitting between all-star and legend, but there is not parity in pitch control. I believe I have rectified the situation.

Anxious to see what you’ve come up with. I don’t post much, but definitely follow your posts. Really appreciate the insight you provide.

Bit of a slight delay, I want to get at least two more games in with the V4 sliders (one in my carry over and one in my modern day test), but the combination of the changing weather and playing with my nieces at our family gathering yesterday has flared up some of my injuries. I should be fine in a few days with proper exercise and rest, but I'm the meantime no PS4.

I'm willing to post my as is sliders if people want as a compromise, but not in the OP yet and not in the vault. I'm a bit skittish of rushing things after rushing V3.

You can share what you found as 4.0 Beta release. ;-)

I’m ready to sign a NDA. :-)

Current sliders:

Human contact: 5
Human power: 5
Human timing: 1
Human foul frequency: 1
Human solid hits: 5
Human starter stamina: 7
Human reliever stamina: 7
Human pitch control: 5
Human pitch consistency: 5
CPU contact: 5
CPU power: 5
CPU timing: 1

Note: timing at zero was producing good overall numbers, but it allowed the pitcher to get away with pitching in the zone a little too often for my flavour of sliders. Bringing timing back to 1 once again made the strike zone a scary place.

CPU foul frequency: 1
CPU solid hits: 5
CPU starter stamina: 7
CPU reliever stamina: 7
CPU pitch control: 6
CPU pitch consistency: 7

Note: pitching strategy is much improved in 19, but finding parity in pitch control was difficult. At this setting, the CPU has equivalent control and consistency to a skilled human pulse pitcher playing on legend difficulty in these sliders.

CPU strike frequency: 5
CPU manager hook: 6
CPU pickoffs: 4
Fastball pitch speed: user's skill
Offspeed pitch speed: user's skill
Fielding errors infield: 8
Fielding errors outfield: 10
Throwing errors infield: 7
Throwing errors outfield: 7
Fielder arm strength infield: 6
Fielder arm strength outfield: 6
Basrunning speed: 8

Note: baserunners should be even faster, but issues with bad animations, specifically too common slow tags and outfielder crow hop, would cause setting this any higher to be imbalanced. Arm strengths should also be higher, but need to be kept down to stay in balance with run speed. Raising arm strengths further also has several strange side effects.

Baserunner steal ability: 5
Baserunner steal frequency: 5
Wind: 5
Injury frequency: 5
Trade frequency: 5

V4 going up in the OP and the vault in the next few minutes. Feeling much better today, so I got my required two games in.

Still not fully confident in these sliders, but I'm confident enough to say they are better than V3.

I haven't had a chance to check out the changes, but as I noticed you changed CPU Pitcher Control and Consistency, I wanted to get your take on how different you think Meter would be versus Pulse pitching? I know you play on Pulse, but I think you mentioned somewhere you've tried them all some.
