All Star Sliders Uploaded

[Skyboxer]

Just uploaded the AS sliders Im using. May work on HOF ones later but frankly I'm very happy with the AS ones.

CLASSIC Pitching
1: Have to be patient at plate - Even if it means taking a second strike if the pitch isn't where you want it.
2: You will throw walks if you are willing to throw walks and not give in as soon as you get 3 balls. Even then with this set it's not a guarantee your pitch will be a strike.
The only thing that seems hit or miss is steals. However I think I have a good balance. ALSO I very rarely take an extra step lead...pretty much never.
Lastly I never use the power swing and get good power numbers....So if you use the power swing a lot you may want to lower power a bit.
These fit my play style but wont for everyone as you know. Just wanted to share.

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

Can you post them here, I have trouble connecting to sports connect at times. It would be easier for me to just put them in there myself.

This is good news. I am going to try these soon.

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

Goin to give these a try. Will turn down power down a notch since I use power swing sometimes.

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

Please remember: Certain settings are due to other settings..so you can mess up the balance if you don't weigh the cause/effect of the adjustments.
be patient at the plate and don't be afraid to walk guys

THESE ARE FINAL. I have moved to HOF and or Legend (haven't decided yet) to work on a set while waiting on future patch to fix franchise issues.
These play great for me and hope they are a good start for you

Thank you! I'll try these tonight when I get home from work.

Global:
Fielder run speed -1
Fielder reaction -5

Hey Skyboxer, how is fielder reaction at -5 working in the infield? I was afraid to lower this for fear of too many grounders getting through the infield. However, I'm looking for anything to get outfielders slower and get more gappers, so I've give this a try but keep fielder speed all the way down (I really don't think this slider really does much, at least not like last year).

This game plays real good out of the box, much better than '09. There's not really much to tweak, but the stuff I want to tweak (e.g. outfielder speed) isn't as tweakable as I would like it.

Not a problem at all from what I seen. I haven't seen a problem yet (30+ games) kept lowering it and watching for issues. Nothing stuck out that was an issue.
Also I have no problem with gappers or doubles down the lines.
Just remember the cause effect statement.
These were "form fitted" for me also. Results may vary lol

later

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

Playing a franchise (1st game) game now. Will post results in a few.

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

I know we can use them in our league, but can we use custom sliders in non-ranked online games?

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

I want to puke..... You'll see why...

NYY @ Boston
Beckett vs Sabathia
Neither Pitcher in final decision
Yanks had a chance in the 8th after a leadoff double....but he was stranded.

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

Hey Sky, if it's not too much trouble could you list here any changes you make (or have made) to the original set you uploaded to SC?
I really like what I have seen with these so far.
Not liking that Ortiz homer though.

[Skyboxer]

Re: All Star Sliders Uploaded

Doubt I make any. I played 30'ish games to get what I have and will live with it. At some point you have to go with it or you'll tweak till your head falls off, especially with the sport of baseball.
If something is pretty glaringly{sp} wrong 50-60 games into season then maybe....

Thanks for posting these. I've played only 2 games so far, which isn't nearly enough time to accurately gauge the gameplay, but so far the game plays really well out of the box. Both of my games were decided by a single run. The only thing I was thinking about changing was fielder speed, and it looks like your sliders address that.
