Idk what level of baseball youve played or what youre overall understanding of the game is, but im not gonna teach you how to pitch or hit in certain situations with certain hitters in certain counts in this game. I could write a college research paper just based on this game alone. My advice is simply this, because ive been in your spot before, find a difficulty/slider set that lets you have fun and stop trying to find a slider set that will give you a 90% statistical representation of the MLB. Its not worth it. Id like to know what your hitting and pitching interfaces are, what you're excelling at, and what you're struggling at. My ovr on this site may be a 0, but I guarantee ive played more games than 99% of people here over the last 2 years on all the different interfaces. The most important thing is that you realize youre going to have to make some sacrifices statistically in order to have fun and not get frustrated.

I think what people mean by "provide stats" is something like "such and such has 68 home runs and it's only August" or something. You have given no indication of what you even mean by "too many."

"Too many" like 44 HRs through 19 games, or "too many" like 19 HRs through 19 games? Need some kind of context here.

I myself plays on all star with armor and swords slider set. and my Reds Franchise, im 3 days away from trade deadline(end of July) and right now Todd Frazier has the most home runs with 29 so far. so i personally think armor and swords slider set is better even

There was a thread like this in the summer.

I'm 125 games in on default All-Star. I'm dead last in the league in homers hit and first in fewest homers allowed. I'm the Braves, so I'm power-challenged but have a pretty decent pitching staff, so I'm good with the results I'm getting.

Play with dynamic difficulty. I go games without hitting or seeing a homerun. And some games I'll hit 3. I think they've done a fantastic job with that option of keeping me challenged but without frustrating me.

200 games is just over a season and we know that, even after a full season, there can still be statistical anomolies/outliers. Brady Anderson hitting 50 HR for example.

Likewise, 15 games is a very small sample.

This I'll agree with. I don't know the reasoning for that decision to make HR/9 a sim-only attribute, but I wish it would change, even if to the point where only significantly "low" and "high" rating values have big differences. Or, better yet, drop it for a G/F tendency and leave HR or not to: a) was it a fly ball and b) how hard and what trajectory was it hit.

I agree with this too. The engine is not designed for such accuracy. There's too much not there and too much pure RNG. I've come to terms with my slugging Yelich, Billy Hamilton the 20 HR threat, and ground ball hitting Chris Davis.

As long as it's "close enough" and the ratings are expressing differences in player profiles/skills/abilities, I'm cool with it. After that, I'll just chalk it up to "that's MLB15".

What are your offensive sliders? Contact, Timing, Solid Hits, Power?

Same Here. I use a set that is based on A&S just with the base stealing turned down to zero as it is way too easy to steal IMHO. but anyways 2024 of a pirates franchise .. Ben Freakin Revere hitting 3rd on a team ( I forget which one)with 32 hr's at the end of the season because he had 99 contact on both lefty's and righty's ..lol
