S & B's Directional/Classic MLB 22 Sliders

[LegendKillerOne]

Looking forward to testing these out on 22!

so the trick is, start HOF mode. then turn DD up . suck at the plate till it drops to All Star ++ then turn DD slider off and it locks in? it's been so long I can't remember! lol

Im gonna work on some missing players to throw in the vault first so that might take me a couple of hours then deal with tanking to get to All star ++ and then start a franchise.

Gotta make sure I add in enough players into franchise first with some service time so I can create players in franchise during the year that are missing that I forget.

Yep. That’s exactly how you do it. That way you don’t have to raise any sliders to max to raise it. Then once get there just sim the rest of the game. Once you are out of the game you could copy your profile to a new one and copy the settings. Then you can use that for a backup.

I have played 3 games so far. I am loving this game from what I have seen so far. The announcers and presentation are awesome and SDS did a lot of good work to it.

I have updated the OP to what I’m testing so far. Definitely not close to anything yet. I started out pitching on HOF close to default with Power and Solid Hits at 4. Had a couple outlier games that are probably going to throw my numbers off. I am playing one different game each calendar game to play with different teams and players. I was the bold team.

Game 1
TB. 1 7 0 - 1 HR, 1 2B, 10K
BOS 3 8 0 - 1 2B, 8 K

Game 2
ARZ 3 9 1 - 9 singles, 7 K
MIL 9 17 0 - 2 HR, 2 2B, 4 K

Game 3
STL 8 15 0 - 5 HR, 5 2B, 5 K
PIT 15 19 0 - 6 HR, 3 2B, 11 K

Pirates killed me with their 6 HR. The ball was flying for both teams. Definitely going to be staying at HOF for a while.

Baserunning is going to have to be lower again this year. My first game they tried to stretch 3 singles into doubles and got thrown out by a mile every time. That was with baserunning speed at 5.

Stay tuned. Hopefully you guys are enjoying this game so far.

Right on man! I can't wait to dig in Monday night. What was the wind like for that Pirates game? Remember last year we lowered wind down to 2 to tone down the homerun fest that happened far too often. I suspect we may have to lower it again as imo the wind plays too big a factor in ball flight in game. Looking good and sounds like testing won't take long.

Ok I’ve locked all star plus! So I just keep it on that now !

After really struggling hitting against de grom sll of a sudden I go walk hit then hit (which should have been. A double ) and grand slam with sotto!! I had him at 100 pitches which helped

So I knock fe from out after 4 innings and a 4-0 lead I see the cpu hasn’t changed going straight to LR before the 5th lol

I'll have to go back and look how I reordered the cpu bullpen last year. How I did it caused the best bullpen logic I've ever seen on the game. Really sucks this still hasn't been addressed. For now just be sure to raise manager hook to 10 as soon as they remove the SP. That really worked great and never saw guys pitch over one inning unless it was their LRP.
