I absolutely do not influence every swing. In fact I am probably 75/25 ratio on:

No influence/influence

Ok, thanks for clarification!

Way back Armor (for a minute) used the '15 cam zoomed all the way back. I never stopped.

Sorry I meant to add I also play on a small screen. This gives me a great view of everything.

Wanted to give some gameplay updates to give context about how the sliders are working and why playing 162 is so important. I’m using the Royals this year and I sign Conforto to the team. Everyone outside of him, Perez, and Benintendi has been struggling to start the year. 5-9 hitting collectively below .200 bad.

Welp, the Twins came to town, and we all know pitching is not their strength. Mix that with guys that are due for some hits and next thing you know your 5-9 each have a multi hit game in the series and accounted for half the runs scored in the series, a total of 15 runs in 3 games. Even Merrifield went deep off the foul pole on a pitch middle in. Quality starts each of the 3 games, with the only shaky bullpen appearance coming from Amir Garrett who gave up a bomb to Sano and two batters later another one to Sanchez on his only two mistake pitches in the inning.

That’s baseball. The game may not be able to replicate 1:1 what we see in real life, but it gets a lot of things right, and the slider set/gameplay settings only helps enhance that experience.

Good luck to everyone in their franchises this year, and cheers to baseball being freaking back.

Thanks Armour.

Been using your set up and sliders the past few days ( tweaked a bit for my own skill level) and have really found my happy zone. Game is playing great with the CPU keeping things competitive.

Going to be keeping this set up for the foreseeable future.

Thanks again.

Running with a Reds franchise and pitching with Justin Dunn vs the Braves. I hit a 100 pitches in the 5th inning!!!

I’ve never had this challenge pitching before.

Beauty!

Still playing random franchise test games as I await OSFM with full equipment edits.

White Sox at Angels


I was ambushed!!!! (LOL Derosa reference could not resist). Ended up losing with a final score of:

12-0

Trout destroyed me with 2 HR’s and 5 RBI.

Ohtani shut me down going 7 strong on 102 pitches and 12K’s 4 Walks and 4 hits.

Game is playing incredible. I was matching Ohtani for 4 innings of shut out ball and then the wheels fell off on my location and I hung a slider out to Trout who put it in the seats for the first of his 2 HR’s. I had Lucas Giolito on the bump. He needed up yielding 7 runs before he left in the 6th.

V1 is locked in......unless I see anything wonky over a long period of games....we are locked in folks!!!
