Fenway Mac 2019 Legend/HOF Hybrid Sliders

[FenwayMac]

Fenwaymac 2019 sliders are now live in the vault. you will find them under:

2019 Fenwaymac HOF Sliders and 2019 Fenwaymac Legend Hybrid

Here is the link to all of my game stats. As I progress through the season, check back in to see how these sliders results are playing out. I track individual game stats, and then in the top rows have season averages for those stats. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Goal: My goal with all of my slider sets is to try to zone in the results of the games to closely match certain MLB statistics such as hit type percentages, pitching percentages (first pitch %, overall pitch percentage%) as well as FB/LD/GB%. I also work to make sure that scoring plays vary as well, not just singles and home runs.

I wanted to create something that worked for a larger group of players this year so I created both a pure HOF slider set, and well as a Legend Pitching/ HOF hitting hybrid for those needing a bit of an extra challenge. Bring your A game and don't get lazy or the CPU will make you pay!


Here are the settings. I will have much more to add about how tested these through, but for now:


Legend settings are in red. Make sure to change your gameplay pitching settings to LEGEND if you choose to plug these in. Same if you download from the vault.

Hey Fenway do you listen to the catcher when you pitch?

Good pitching sliders, almost same as mine.

Somewhat, but I have been screwed by the catcher one too many times. In Legend pitching I mostly call my own game and really do my best to keep the CPU off-kilter.

I played 3 games on with these using directional and classic. I just started using classic on when I’m pitching. I was always using Trail on but this makes pitching a little more difficult for me. The Brewers are 2-1 to start the year. I won 14-5 and 6-0 and then lost the 3rd game 5-3.

CPU offensive stats:
Avg: .274
HR: 2 (0.7 per game)
BABIP: .303
Walks: 2 per game
K’s: 5.3 per game
Fly ball: 32%
Line Drive: 24%
Ground ball: 44%

Extra base hits: 3.8%
The cpu has 86% of their hits being singles but their first two games they hit 12 singles and 2 HR so that kind of skewed the results so far.

I am not seeing a lot of strikeouts so far but the CPU has a 20% swing and miss rate and I have 25%.

My offensive stats are kind of messed up cause I started the season with pitch speeds at 3 cause I always struggled with hitting on hall of fame. But I’m hitting like crazy so I’m going back to 5. So hopefully my offensive stats even out.

Just a heads up that I made a few tweaks to the slider set that I feel make a pretty significant change.

1), I have dropped HUM Power to 5. I felt a little uncomfortable with the high number of doubles and HR’s coming at 6 and also how the extra velocity seemed to limit hit variation. I have used 5 for five preseason games to see if I can still hit homeruns at 5 and timing 4. The answer is yes, you have to hit it just right, but they are still there. I recommend the switch.

2), fielder speed to 3. Same reason, way too many balls dropping in front of and getting behind outfielders.

3. Strike Ratio to 5. I felt the COU was painting far too often and deduced this was because I had the slider st 4 which would make the try to nibble the edges more to get me to chase rather than coming at me. Don’t worry this is just a balance at 5 which is better.

I have not updated the first post yet or the vault, but think those changes are imminent. Give em a go and let me know if it feels better!

Are you seeing enough cpu sac flies? They had one and even the announcer said a routine Sac fly and the runner didn’t go.

Love your work every year!
