Pared's MVP 2005 Gameplay Sliders

[dales]

I just had, what I consider, my best game yet. I was the Padres and I played the Dodgers. Peavy pitched for me and Odalis Perez for LA. Perez left after 5.2 IP (93 pitches) giving up 8 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks and striking out 7. Peavy threw 7 innings (87 pitches), yielding 5 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks and 7 strikeouts. I won the game 6-4. I ended up with 14 hits and the computer had 9.

Great job with the sliders, Pared!

Does anyone have any effective sliders for Relief pitchers getting tired on a daily basis after being used? I've gone almost a month into my season and it doesnt matter if i use my relievers 1 day or 5 days in a row they never seem to be tired and always back at 100 percent the next game.

Pared: I just played a game using your sliders. I was the Twins and I played the Red Sox at the Metrodome. It was a good game and your sliders seem to work pretty good. I may increase the User Power a bit though, I thought I crushed 2 balls with power hitters (Morneau and Hunter) that seemed to end up being a little wimpy. However, I did hit a rocket to the opposite field with Rivas (a low power guy) that just caught the top of the baggy in right for a double. As you can see I had little plate discipline in this game, however I must say that Schilling had some very questionable ball and strike calls go his way.

Thanks for your hard work and here are the pitching stats.

Santana (IP) 8.0 (H) 6 (R) 0 (ER) 0 (BB) 0 (K) 8 (HR) 0 (# Pitches) 79
Rincon (IP) 1.0 (H) 0 (R) 0 (ER) 0 (BB) 0 (K) 0 (HR) 0 (# Pitches) 13

Schilling (IP) 8.1 (H) 3 (R) 0 (ER) 0 (BB) 0 (K) 14 (HR) 0 (# Pitches) 90
Timlin (IP) 0.1 (H) 2 (R) 1 (ER) 1 (BB) 0 (K) 0 (HR) 0 (# Pitches) 10

Things I've noticed while using these sliders, someone please correct me if they have seen different.

1. The computer will not swing at balls thrown outside of the strike zone.

2. The computer will 95% of the time make good contact with a ball thrown anywhere in the strike zone.

I would love to actually have the computer swing and miss a couple times a game, or maybe even swing at a ball every so often.

Which version of the game is better ps2 or Mvp I keep hearing that the game plays better on ps2.

The computer WILL swing at balls outside the strike zone... you just have to know how to set them up.

Also, players will swing and miss, but unfortunately, that will only happen with a PERFECT pitch, and most likely a heater.

pared great work on ur sliders, but i started a dynasty as the rockies ( i wanted to rebuild a team into a contender) and my first game against the pads was 16-0, lol. My starter was doing fine until the 6th when two got on base with no out and he had already given up two runs so i decided to give him the hook and see what the bullpen could do since it was my since it was my first game with that team. That was a huge mistake, i gave up 14 more runs over the course of the game and it was a lot harder to spot the pitches with the relievers than my starter. I'm not blaming your sliders, i sucked, i could only get 6 hits and struck out 12 times, but i was just wondering if you thought maybe i clicked something wrong or its cause its my first game and i gotta get used 2 some of it.

I am starting to hit MUCH better now. The games are getting a great array of scores. I am the Pirates and I am having trouble pitching late into games. Oliver Perez is the only starter with high stamina. So I really need to add to my bullpen. Strike outs are becoming easier to get. You have to throw a perfect pitch a lot of the time. The CPU's power frustrates me. When I go upstairs with the high chedder, they just crush it. When they do I NEVER make contact. I am still hitting a good number of HR though.

Nice work Pared, hope to see some of the things i dont like addressed.
