Agreed. I really doubt I'll touch any of the sliders the way you have them. Even with dropping the pitch speed down 2 clicks (from the max.) I still lost those last 2 games, and also lost another to Florida.

I never mind losing as long as it's fair. The CPU has beaten me fair and square. I'm just not strining together enough hits at the right times and Delgado is in a major slump to start the season. Hopefully those trends will turn around for me.

thanks for the sliders. i can't wait to try them out. i was wondering if you ever use the power swing, or if you use the contact swing all of the time?

Re: Monk31's PSP Sliders: For Experienced players only

I use both, however I use the power swing sparingly. I feel like at-bat to at-bat you can consistently make better hits using the contact swing, but I use the power swing when I'm looking to gamble a little bit, often only with the big bats.

I don't play guess pitch so the ability to check swing on an offspeed pitch that is low that initially looks like a fastball is invaluable.

Re: Monk31's PSP Sliders: For Experienced players only

I'm 18 games into my Mets season (82 games) and sit at 6-12. Just like in real life, my bullpen has been TERRIBLE! I've blown 4 saves and nearly given up a couple more.

On the whole, my team is hitting .276, which is good for 11th out of all MLB teams. My ERA is 3.62, which puts me 9th. I'm seeing a good variety of hits by myself and the CPU.

Big things for me is that Beltran and Delgado are both struggling big time coming out of the gates. They'll K with runners on, or pop up or ground out. Very frustrating. I think they have 3 combined HRs. Ryan Church has 5.

My starting pitchers are doing OK. Santana is dominant. Pedro battles but gives up runs early. Maine and Perez are hit-and-miss. Pelfrey has actually been really good for me.

I don't think I'll make any tweaks. I just need to play better.

Re: Monk31's PSP Sliders: For Experienced players only

I've found that I tend to go on streaks. I'll lose 5 out of 6 and then win 6 out of 7, and things like that. 6-12 may be a rough start but looking at your Avg and ERA you should be better than 6-12. Perhaps you've been a bit unlucky? Like you said about your bullpen struggling. I'm just curious, how many runs have you scored and how many have you let up?

Re: Monk31's PSP Sliders: For Experienced players only

I'll have to go back and check the numbers. I'm averaging around 3-4 runs a game, and giving up the same.

Re: Monk31's PSP Sliders: For Experienced players only

Note to all: I've toyed with setting the Pitch Count Slider to +10 (20) and I've discovered that doing so has a negative effect on user pitching command.

How so? User pitch command is already at 0, and if you're not spot-on with some of your pitchers, you get lit up.

I am doing better, though, as I've won 5 of my last 6 and am just 5 games out of first and 2 back in the wild card with the Mets.

Re: Monk31's PSP Sliders: For Experienced players only

Monk, any suggestions for me? I've lost 5 of my last 6 games after winning 4 straight. My last game, I was up 5-1 in the 7th and wound up losing 6-5.

Biggest thing I'm seeing is a lack of HR's from my power hitters, specifically Beltran and Delgado.

I feel that even with pitch command at 0 there is still too much control over the pitching. I tested Pitch count at 20 and it definately makes a difference. I would recomend it if you agree with me and still have too much control.

Well you can always bump up the power slider about 3 clicks or so. Perhaps you are being too agressive also? I find I do much better when I sit for a certain trajectory out of the hand of the pitcher and if it isn't there I'll lay off early in the count. Doing so puts you in a lot of hitter's counts that makes it easier to drop some more bombs. I recently went on a stretch of 4 games without any HR's. But then the next game i had 4 in one and I believe it was because of my own personal plate discipline.
