Re: TNK & PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***

I don't know, maybe it's just me but is anyone else seeing too many throwing errors on the cpu's part?? Two of the past 5 games, I have seen multiple throwing errors on the same play (one that led to an inside the park homerun).
It's gotten to the point where I don't advance runners in some situations because I feel like I'm cheating the CPU.

Like I said, maybe it's just me and/or a small game sampling.....I dunno

Fielding errors seem about right after the recent increase to 7 though.

Off the top of my head:

- Fielders were faster last year, you will need to further reduce their speed
- Hitting was easier last year, I recommend you lower Contact by a point or two.
- Pickoffs had some crazy issues last year, so I recommend you turn them down a bit to maintain realism, of course also reducing baserunning ability (or speed) to compensate
- I seem to remeber that the pitcher stamina system was different last year, but I can't remember for sure, or even which way it was off, just take note of your pitchers' staminas in their late innings, and adjust accordingly.
- You might want to raise both consistency sliders, because I'm pretty sure last year's game had more passed balls and such.

I completely agree, but without a decent amount on the throwing error slider, there are way too many successful Derek Jeter plays made in the infield. I wish this slider was broken down, I'd like to see a separate slider for Pickoffs in particular, and of course a different slider for "special" throws.

My first game of the season...FWIW, I used the rosters and injuries, but for anyone that said (early April), I left them uninjured, which is why Greinke threw the opener. Now:

Every year...every damn year I have one of these games. Lights out...cruising easy...get to the 9th with a no-no intact, and lose it to some stupidness. First, I lost the perfect game in the FIRST INNING, when Prince fielded a Phillips grounder cleanly, but instead of running and tagging the base, he ran diagonal, then past the base, then around the base. Shlt was frustrating, but I was surprised they gave him an error. Kudos to SCEA for that one.

After that, it wasn't even close. the only balls they got out of the infield were lazy flies, save for one hard hit ball by Ramon Hernandez (curse him for today). I handled Votto and Bruce easily K'ing them 4 of their 6 AB's.

Fast forward to the 9th...strike out 8 hitter easily with an 0-2 change, then the 9 hitter (Chris Heisey, who was double switched into the lineup top 9), calmly hits a clean single to center. Strike out Stubbs on another 0-2 change, and Phillips grounds weakly to Prince to finish the game.

Was my first time using these sliders in franchise as I waited for the rosters. 2 SB attempts between us, both successful, but both shouda been successful. No HR's either way. I lacked patience, which helped me K 11 times and walk none, but by the 7th I just wanted to get Greinke back on the mound. Prince the only one that hit the ball hard with a 2B and hard hit single, and on Morgan's triple, their centerfielder made one of them lackadaisical attempts at a ball that you sometimes see instead of getting in front of it, so I got third easily. Digging so far...

I'm digging these sliders. Just played ATL @ STL. The Braves won 4-3 in 10 (I was the Cardinals). My three runs were off of two Pujols HRs, but I wasn't patient enough at the plate to really do much. I had some hits, though. Pitching felt right as well. Good work! Thanks!

Power swing isn't necessary to hit HRs. I have used it rarely and situation has to be just right. Hitters count, (3-1, 2-0,), power hitter, early in the game and I am NOT trailing. I feel in this scenario you can afford to take risk.

In clutch scenarios when I am down in the count 0-2, 2-2 late in games, and need baserunners I use contact.

I have had great results and all types of hits.

What do you guys think of using these with timing hitting? Should I lower the timing slider a bit?
