    P.A.D. MLB The Show 2016 LEGEND Sliders

    I've been creating Hall of Fame sliders for the past few years now (including this year), but this is the first year that I feel Hall of Fame is a bit too easy. No matter how I change the sliders, the CPU just doesn't seem good enough. Whether it's throwing too many meatballs or just not being aggressive enough at bat, the CPU just isn't posing enough of a challenge on Hall of Fame difficulty, so I decided to try Legend difficulty. Please understand, I'm trying to replicate the authenticity and difficulty of real baseball, so some may find these very difficult while others may find them just right. This is the first time I've delving into the realm of Legend difficulty, so if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know in this thread. Also, these sliders ARE available in the Roster Vault under P.A.D. Legend Sliders 2. So without further ado:

    Version 2 has been uploaded to the vault, made a few small changes as user and CPU offense was a bit too strong.

        So I guess you didn't have a problem with the miraculous CPU comebacks in the late innings on HOF mode that occurred way too often in 15??

          Honestly, no. I found Hall of Fame difficulty to be too easy, which is why I made Legend sliders.

              I wouldn't go that far, I just think Hall of Fame is very easy this year. The CPU hitters show no urgency whatsoever. I've adjusted and adjusted all the sliders, the CPU of HoF just isn't as good as they should be. It got easy to the point that I saw myself dumbing down my own game just so the games would be competitive. I don't have to do that on Legend, these sliders make the game more realistic and challenging and make you focus on every pitch. That's what I'm looking for.

              Let me know how it goes for you.

                P.A.D, I'm glad to see you're making sliders for the legend. I always follow your threads because I think you have good opinions (insight) and a good eye for realistic baseball. I'm trying to find your update in the vault to the CPU offense that you made, but due to a really silly navagation menu in the vault I can't seem to find it. Can you please just list those five numbers for me?

                  ^^^^They should be updated in the original post......PAD i like the fact that you switched to Legend. I played with your HOF sliders at the tail end of last year and had a blast with my fantasy portion of the show. Ive decided this year to skip my Brewers season because they stink so bad and just go with a 162 fantasy team. Its been a looooong time since I did this. How do you feel about CPU/Human timing at 4? Ive tried the default 5 and the CPU just rifles rocket after rocket. I like it at 3 for now, but after we get better it may need a change. Need more of a sample size, but like the challenge and focus required on every pitch.

                    Try my new sliders in the vault, I've addressed the issue with the CPU destroying every pitch.

                      Even with the updates the CPU's hitting on legend is just ridiculous. I get it, it's legend but that doesn't mean that they have to make contact with almost everything. The size of their PCI takes up the entire strike zone plus. It's like I'm pitching legend but the CPU is hitting on beginner. Also, I've noticed that results vary based on pitching interface. On classic which I like to use they seem to mash everything. On meter I can kinda get them to chase a little more and actually strike out. Thoughts...

                        I use meter. My sliders were meant to be used with meter. I have no idea how they work with classic. I uploaded version 4 as well, but it's very similar to version 3. You have to mix it up in terms of location and pitch speed or you will get rocked. I'm still tweaking but I'm close....

                          Version 5 has just been uploaded to the vault. This version adjusts the following:

                          - user pitcher control - way too many pitches going nowhere near where aimed, resulting in hard hit balls by CPU

                          - foul balls - too many dinkers in front of plate on poor contact. These should be fouled off.

                          Still looking at the following:
                          - CPU contact
                          - User Timing
