new for the 2007 season

[dowie]

I am real content with my sliders, but since it's the start of a new year for mvp 2005 I thought I'd just throw it out there. I don't claim to be the best slider maker there is, and I'm always looking for new ideas so if you have tested your sliders for a bunch of games and are happy with the gameplay and realistic stats please share them here. MVP level only please. Dowie

I made a few changes to these if anyone cares.

PITCH SPEEDS:+10...might be a bit fast for some people.
USER/CPU PITCH FAT:+15
USER/CPU BATTER POWER:-50.....dont worry, you and the cpu can still hit pleny of homeruns, but they just wont travel to the moon as often.
USER DIVE DIFF:-40
USER/CPU BASERUNNING AGGR:+14
USER/CPU IF AND OF SPEEDS:-20
USER/CPU THROW ACC:-25
USER/CPU STEAL SPEEDS:+2
CPU SWING FREQ:0
ALL INJ:+10

Everything else remains the same. Cant believe I'm still tweaking this game after all this time. I think I'm done for good now.

Is it really easy to pitch with these sliders? How about hitting also, because if either is that easier, I'm not going to try them its not that I have a problem at all with my current sliders, other then pitching is very easy.

I dont think pitching is too easy with fielding speeds, CPU base running aggr, and user pitcher stam set how they are. As far as user hitting, I actually think my settings are some of the hardest I have seen. Just raise the CPU contact and power if you feel its too easy to pitch, but I just dont like non power hitters almost hitting balls completly out of the stadium. I think power effects the distance of homers more than it does the number of homers, although it does effect both. I think lower contact also improves hit variety. I know my sliders arent for everybody, but I was bored and thought I would throw them out there.

PITCH SPEED:0....it was a little to hard to pull fastballs at +10.
HUM/CPU POW:0....-50 didnt work out too well.....I still like HUM/CPU CON at -50 though.


Edit..I dropped user steal speed back to default cause it was getting to easy, but I left the CPU at +2.

Isn't Pitch Speed just relative perspective/viewing of the speed of the pitch and not the actual ball pitch speed?

It actually will change the pitch speed a little as well. At default, Tim Hudsons 4 seam fastball is 93 at max, but at +50 its 95 max. One thing about messing with pitch speeds, is you have to adjust stealing speeds as well.
