NoSkillz50 AA Sliders (L&F)

[NoSkillz50]

I've noticed lots of sliders here either too easy or based off zone hitting or classic hitting or in some cases just too arbitrary for me so I decided to make my own. I've just adjusted everything up or down pretty much by 5 until I got everything like I wanted it. They are pretty well rounded if you want to finely tune them yourself, they aren't all specifically set down to 1 point so you don't have to worry about throwing anything off as much if you just think one or two things need to be changed. I like how they are right now, so unless somebody wants to suggest something I'll probably post one thats more precise later if I find anything noticably wrong.

Gameplay Tuning
User Pitch Meter Difficulty: -50 (even at -50 I still think you have too much command over some of the poorly rated pitches)
Pitch Speed: 5 (slightly more challenging than 0)
CPU Pitcher Ball Rate: 10 (college hitters dont walk a ton, but the pitchers still throw alot of balls)
User Pitcher Fatigue: -5 (almost nescesary with foul ball frequency turned all the way up and pitch meter diff. all the way down)
CPU Pitcher Fatigue: 5 (they just leave their pitchers in about an inning too long, ball rate is turned up so I think 5 about covers it)
User Pitch Control: -35 (so even when you time the meter right you still might miss, indirectly gives the pitchers ratings a little bit more of a role aswell)
CPU Pitch Control: -15 (just so they can't pitch on the corners or in the zone completely at will)
Bullpen Fatigue Rate: 0
Bullpen Fatigue Grace: 0
User Batting Contact: 5 (I think there needs to be a little bit more hitting for a college game)
CPU Batting Contact: 0
User Batting Power: -5 (there is just a bit too many homeruns for a college game, but at the same time i dont want to lower the number of hard hit balls in general too much)
CPU Batting Power: -5 (thinking about moving this down a little more and cpu contact up a bit)
User Bunting Ability: 0
CPU Bunting Ability: -5 (make them see a bit more human when it comes to bunting)
User Foul Ball Frequency: 50 (seems good for now but I don't have a good feel for this slider yet)
CPU Foul Ball Frequency: 50
CPU Swing Frequency: -15 (need more strike outs looking and they never walk, but I don't want them to take too many strikes either, this number seems just about right)
Analog Swing Timing Normal: 0
Analog Swing Timing Power: 0
Analog Swing Timing Contact: 0
Wind Effect: 0
User OF Speed (Manual): 0 (i know they run slow, but its hard to run full speed in the real-life and if you do you might miss, thats what the hussle button is for and I think EA did a good job with this giving outfielders adequate range)
CPU OF Speed: 0 (seems about right, they run alot of good stuff down but i also get alot of bloopers to drop, i think the cpu of should be able to move the same speed as the human of too)
User IF Speed (Manual): -5 (pretty realistic so far imo
CPU IF Speed: -5
User Throw Speed: -5
CPU Throw Speed: -5
User Throw Accuracy: -5
CPU Throw Accuracy: -10 (the computer is a little too good at making perfect throws)
User Catch Errors: 15
CPU Catch Errors: 25
User Dive Difficulty: 0
User Hustle Boost: 0
CPU Catch Effort: -10 (more hits through the infield and less diving plays in the OF, the cpu catch errors helps with their diving catches too so i didn't want to set this too high)
User Baserunning Speed: 0 (not so much my speed but the cpu's deadly throws)
CPU Baserunning Speed: 0
User Runner Aggression: 5
CPU Runner Aggression: 5
User Runner Steal Speed: 5
CPU Runner Steal Speed: -5 (to make throwing out base stealers a bit easier)
User Runner Steal Delay: -5
CPU Runner Steal Delay: 5
CPU Steal Rate: 50 (i wish i could turn this to 1,000... right now I can't really get anybody to steal, how many times they steal seems so random to me, might want to turn this down if they are attempting more than 4 or so steals a game)
Runner Injury Frequency: 0
Pitcher Injury Frequency: 0
Batter Injury Frequency: 0
Fielder Injury Frequency: 0
Pitching MG Difference: 0

I'm trying to adjust the batting right now. I think -5 is good for power, there are about 2-3 homeruns a game, I actually beat the computer most of the time in that catagory. What do you guys think is good batting and contact. I'm trying out +7 contact and -3 for the CPU, and I'm gonna move the batting power to only -2 or 3 because most of the homeruns are gone by a mile anyways I've really noticed, if I put the power sliders up a bit I think it will be fine, maybe get a few more doubles deeper in the gap I'm not thinking it will change the homerun total.

Most of the other ones I don't think need much changing, I think I might adjust the inf speed 1 or 2 points faster and other than that I can't think of anything right now besides maybe tweaking use fatigue and cpu swing freq.

Hey man, just wanted to say I am really liking your sliders. Have played about 10 games with them so far. They make the game a total blast for me. Good job man..

Thanks. Does anybody else have any comments suggestions? They're working for me as good or better than any other slider's ive tried so far. i actually get about the same results with footballfanforevers sliders, but i made my own because i wanted to fix the same problems, but i wanted the computer to also be about the same as me, with othersliders i did something better than the computer or the computer did something better than me. u cant really get rid of that, but i tried to balance the game without exaggerating that issue any more than it had to be.

hitting is the only area where i often adjust the sliders by 1,2 or 3 points. 1 point is 1% of a slider and im not sure anybody really understands exactly what an effect 1 point has, hitting is the only one i feel its easy to see results so thats the only ones im really messing with. the others are just fixing basic things here and there.

ill post my final conact/power numbers sometime soon
