TC's MLB24 HOF Directional/Classic SIM Sliders

[tc020791]

Beta Version 0.9 May 13th, 2024

I have settled on these sliders after almost 200 hours of just testing so far this cycle. Shoutout to bryanm1982, we have bounced alot of ideas off of each other since day 1 of release. This game has a lot of potential and I really want to make sure I have my sliders locked in before starting my every pitch, of every game franchise. The CPU offense has been weak against me most of the year, until now. Which is why I'm finally ready to post these sliders. I'm still testing, mainly USER pitching sliders, just to make sure things are exactly where I want them. I will update this post when I feel things are completely locked in once I do a little more testing.

Let me know how it goes if you try them out. Still working out some of the kinks.

[tc020791]

Getting a great variety with these so far in my Braves test franchise.

Last game we shutout the White Sox, allowing just 1 single the entire game.

Very next game, through just the first inning, White Sox already have 6 runs on 4 hits and 2 HR.

They claim they haven’t made any gameplay changes this year but I find that hard to believe. Start of the year outfielders had absolutely no problem hitting the cut off man. Now all of a sudden every single throw is off line from every single outfielder, frustrating to say the least.

Dropping outfield throw errors to 2.

Every year it’s the same
Issue with that and it drives me nuts

TC! Only asking you because our sets are kinda similar as far as trying not to stay too far away from default. Are you noticing an absurd amount of power from the user side? I have power at 4. My team ranks 30th in power. I lead the league in homeruns.

About to drop it to 3 but that seems crazy having to do that.
