Don't feel bad about getting shut down by James McDonald. They have his pitch speeds wrong in the game, so the difference between his fastball and change up is ridiculous.
As far as sliders go, I was going to post some after I had some more games under my belt, but I'm happy to share/discuss what I'm using right now.
I won't take complete credit for these though. Many of the Global sliders are either the same, or slightly tweaked from other slider sets... I think I've mixed and matched the global sliders from Nomo, and maybe a couple of other sets too.
Anyways, here's what I'm currently using.
