Jistics 2005 MVP All-Star Sliders

[rspencer86]

Jistic-

First of all, thanks for your work on the slider set. I've played a few games with them, and for the most part I have really enjoyed the type of game that they provide.

With your CPU Pitcher Ball Rate at 17, it seemed like I was getting way too many walks (never thought I would say that after last year's game, lol), so I adjusted that slider to +7, and it seemed to be a bit better.

Also, what's your reasoning behind setting the CPU's power and contact sliders down so much? I'm thinking the low contact setting helps with user strikeouts, but both of these down so low make the CPU's offense very weak. Playing as the Royals, I held the Angels to just three extra-base hits (three doubles) in a three-game series. I didn't give up any homeruns, despite facing the Angels' strong middle of the lineup with my fourth, fifth, and first starters (Gobble, Tankersley, and Greinke). I want to feel threatened when I face that kind of lineup, so is there any specific suggestions you would make for adjusting the CPU contact and power sliders?

Thanks,
Ryan

Stay tuned my man. I hear ya and you're right. I have changed some of these since my last post and will post when they're ready. Like I said still fine tuning so these take a little longer.

So if I'm aiming a 4 seamer right down the middle and I hit the green in the meter, it still may be a little bit inside or outside etc. Now we may be talking about a few inches but if you're nibbling the corners that can make a big differnce. I'm guessing the CPU tries to simulate the same thing.

Thanks, Jistic. I tend to agree with your assessment. Thanks for the info.

I lowered pitch meter to -30 to make it easier for me. then i did the following;

cpu contact = 10-12
cpu power 0

I was going to change these after playing 7-5 and 6-4 games. Then i pitched a shutout, 12 K game with Mulder. These sliders are more in line with Pared's. I use Jistic's hitting and Pared's CPU/pitching.

Hey Jistic,

Just wondering if you have an idea when your next version is coming out....out of all the sliders your's seem to work best for me. Thanks for a good job

[Jistic]

I was hoping this weekend, but I have been super busy. So maybe early mid next week. I'm not that far away, just wanna test a tiny bit more.
