Where are Pared's sliders?

[jake44np]

I used Pared's sliders last year for this game when it first came out and I loved them. Where did his slider thread go? I went back 1 year and they are gone!

There! Here is a list of improvements this version addresses:

-Stealing. Better catchers can actually get the fast runners.
-Double Plays: Transitions, and chances of completion
-Offensive production and more varied games.
-Pitch counts refined.
-Runner aggression - produces more movement by the CPU on the field
-CPU contact and power balance. Make sure to waste pitches to setup the CPU batters or you will PAY!
-Fielder injuries lessened.

Some notes:

-I have not done any testing on any other levels, as I still have much more to look at on the All-Star level.
-Pitch counts will vary depending on your patience at the plate.
-Some sliders have a zero value b/c they really do not need tweaking.
-The set has taken shape and is very much close to completion.

After playing about 50 games the last 3 weeks I have come to the conclusion that these sliders are still the best. Jistics sliders became way too easy, I could pretty much shut down the cpu's offense every game. Great job Pared on these sliders, are you playing MVP at all Pared?

I've been playing this game for one year now and find that Allstar becomes too easy after awhile. However, I struggle on MVP level and seem to go back to Allstar. Try these if you become too bored.
Try playing with -50 contact, 0 power (Human)/ +50 contact, 5 power (CPU) and pitch speed +7.

have you tried rod carew's slider set, I think they are really good. Ive used pareds last year too, I wanted to try a diff set for this year and they are great.

I played about 20 games with Rods sliders and the cpu did not hit against me at all! He still uses the pitch cursor and it is way too easy to pitch with it.

just turn it off lol. oh yea try his sliders with the ultimate rosters, its harder to pitch with those rosters.
