Armor & Swords The Show 12 Timed/Classic All-Star Sim Sliders

[IrishSalsa]

I play using Timing, and Classic hitting and pitching interfaces so these look like some sliders I can work with. When I get home I'll put these in and give them a shot and help out however I can. They look pretty solid to me from what I've seen thus far with my own games. Only changes I would do is lower pitch speed to zero cuz I just suck at catching up to the fastball lol

I won a game 11-0 last night, Marino. Default AS; Timing hitting.

I get frustrated too, and I know it sounds cliched, but hang in there man. I had three games of offense (practically) in one game. You'll have one of those soon, I'm almost sure of it.

Starting up game with Padres @ Pirates (me) with these. Only thing I have different is I play with Guess pitch 1/4 on, auto baserunning/fielding, and I use API on and 95% of the time pitch what the catcher calls (location and type). I have pitch speed at zero too for only slider difference. I know it will only be one game but I'll be sure to let you know how it goes!

Finally finished the game! It went 11 innings lol. Here's the box score with some comments:


SD 7 15 1(Error on popout to end inning glitch so really no errors)
PIT 5 8 0

Starting pitcher stats:

PIT- C. Morton(88 pitches) 5.0ip 9h 4r 4er 2bb 6so

SD- C. Richard(80 pitches) 5.0ip 6h 5r 5er 1bb 4so (3 run HR by McCutchen inflated the runs against)


I would suggest lowering Cpu Foul Frequency one or two notches at least. They seemed to foul out far too many pitches which drove my pitch count way up in the high 80s in only 5ip. If I remember correctly, I was in the high 70s after 4ip.

It's so hard to tell with relievers but they may need a lowering on stamina as well. I pitched 2 innings with a MRP, and so did the cpu and they still easily had half to more than half stamina left. I was at 30 pitches for mine, not sure about the cpu. Maybe that's normal though? I'm thinking lowering relief stamina to 4 though personally, what do u think??


Last but not least is the hit variety! It was decent but it really needs some improvement. I finally saw a ball go over an outreached arm from an outfielder which was nice to see! I'm seeing literally NO bloop singles however. I'm thinking the new ball physics has to do with this alot though, which the fielder speed and reaction playing a part as well. Really not sure what to do though. I would hate to lower fielder reaction to 3, cuz that would cause way too many hits through the infield that are unecessary imo. However, I do think lowering fielder speed to 2 would help. They seem to chase down nearly everything hit IMO!

Lemme know what u think of my suggestions. I know it's only one game, but I usually have a very good eye for things and what to change to make it better.

Next game up DET(me) @ MIN; Verlander vs Pavano

I lowered fielder speed to 2, and Cpu foul frequency to 3 for only changes just fyi...will post results with feedback afterwards!

[IrishSalsa]

Just got my *** kicked 6-0 by the Twins! CG shutout by Pavano


DET 0 3 0
MIN 6 14 0


Verlander 6ip 8h 2r 2er 2bb 3so

Pavano 9ip 3h 0r 0er 2bb 5so


This game absolutely sucked to play lol. Biggest thing that I HAVE to change personally his Human Timing slider. Through two games, I look at my timing after every swing and not kidding I have only seen it say "good" or "perfect" three, maaaybe four times total.

I know it sounds crazy but I'm going to raise the Human Timing to 10 for the next game. The slider doesn't make late or early time swings turn into good or perfect, it only makes the window larger where it can still be a hit when the timing is off. This is just for me personally though. I have to do something cuz my timing is horrid, even with pitch speed at zero!


Fielder speed at two seemed fine imo...foul frequency down to 3 for the cpu helped a ton! Going to play another, and if the cpu gets a bunch of hits against me again I will probably lower Cpu solid hits down to 3.

EDIT: In two games the cpu has got 29 hits against me, so I'm going to lower Cpu solid hits to 3, and contact down to 4 for the next game. I know I know, small sample but still...

Next game... Arizona & Colorado (me) Joe Saunders vs Jhoulys Chacin

Marino, are you being selective with your hitting or are you hacking at anything remotely close to the strike zone? What I have been doing to improve my hitting is to have hot/cold zone preview on and wait for a good pitch to hit around the batters hot zone. If I see a pitch on the border of the strike zone or towards the batters cold zone I try and let it go and wait for a mistake pitch or anything around my batters hot zone. I have left pitch speed at 5 and I am still trying to train my eye to see the ball out of the pitchers hand as quick as possible to determine a ball or strike. I also leave guess pitch at default so I can see a graph of what type of pitches and where the pitcher is working my batter by pressing R2. Last year you were able to press in the analog stick to see this but this year you have to have guess pitch on.

@ JayD

Pitching a one-hitter through 6 innings with Chacin from Colorado @ home against Arizona right now. Problem is, I'm being no hit by Joe Saunders! This game frustrates me

[IrishSalsa]

OMFG! I was just no hit by Joe Saunders of Arizona at home with Colorado!

Saunders gave me fits last year in my Rockies franchise. He mixes his speeds and location very well.
