That's what I'm hoping. It'd save me a lot if time if I have a real solid set of base sliders, that I can then tune to my skill level as needed. Its worked well with NCAA sliders in the past.Originally Posted by JBHuskers
Early on, you were getting a lot of pitching duels, so you're making progress. Hope your sliders will translate to the PS4

I think that once I find a good balance in statistics difficulty won't matter. I think.
Nice! That would have seriously come in handy for NCAA.
I'm definitely looking forward to sinking my teeth into The Show in a couple weeks.

It is the best sports game on the market year in, year out. You will love it. I can't wait to get my Franchise going. I'm just waiting for the OSFM rosters to be done.Nice! That would have seriously come in handy for NCAA.

I really love Quick Counts. Having a realistic number of Walks is huge to me and should make playing Franchise worlds better, at least for me. The only real drawback I've seen is when I want to bunt and I start with 2 strikes. However, I don't bunt that much and the combination of the two is RARE for me so it's worth it to have the BBs.
You tried playing any jabronis online yet? For lag testing.

No, but speaking of jabronis, I am trying to set up a game against Ram sometime to test exactly that. Being that I work for myself and he is too intelligent/superior to enter the workforce, we are both online alot late at night.

Not time to panic, the Cubs are pretty terrible. However, I just threw a CG 4-hit shutout with Bartolo Colon at Wrigley.
NYM 4-4-0
CHC 0-4-1
Samardzija took the loss. New York had a double from Davis and a 2-run HR from Duda, Chicago's only extra base hit was a two bagger from Schierholtz.
Colon: 9 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
Cubs staff: 9 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 7 BB, 11 K
Tell me something I don't know.

Features & Improvements Video:
I've been playing in Season Mode with Boston to get a better mix of fatigue, injuries, lineups etc for slider work. Of little significance, I'm 14-8 through 22 games.
What is significant is that I have used the same sliders for the last 4 games and have gotten pretty good results:
BAL 1-5-0
BOS 2-8-0
Baltimore had a double and a solo homer. Their pitchers struck out 6 and walked 3. Boston didn't have an extra base hit, their pitchers struck out 9 and walked 1.
BAL 1-4-1
BOS 4-8-0
Boston had a double and a 3-run homer. The O's struck out 4 and walked 3, the Sox struck out 9 and walked 3. It should be noted that Baltimore is 4-17 on the season.
NYY 3-7-1
BOS 7-10-1
New York had a double and a triple. Their staff struck out 2 and walked 1. Boston had 4 doubles and 2 homers. The Sox staff struck out 5 and walked 3.
NYY 5-9-0
BOS 6-12-1
Boston scored 4 in the 7th and 2 in the 9th (on a 2-out double by Victorino) to rally from a 5-0 deficit. New York had a double and 2 homers. Yankee pitchers struck out 7 and walked 1. Boston had 2 doubles and a triple, their staff struck out 3 and walked 4.
I'll continue to track it, but the only glaring issue is that the CPU hit just .195 in the 4 games. However, NYY hit .235 so some of that can be attributed to Baltimore being terrible. Baltimore hit just .150, Boston hit .292.
Tuesday is finally the day!

Hopefully that tax money shows up tomorrow or Monday. Otherwise I'll have to wait. Either that or get the game Tuesday and then just wait for the console.

As much love as people give The Show the atmosphere could be a lot better. My brother rented 14 andI played a tiny bit this morning after it finally installed the patch. I'm so tired of Matty V. Their commentary needs a big upgrade. I loved it in 06 but it's very stale now.
That's where I'm in luck. Having never played The Show before, and even on seeing at most a couple minutes here and there for videos of it, the commentary will be brand new for me. Now, next year or in two or three years, I'll probably be agreeing with you.

If I get tired of the commentary, I'll just watch a game or something on the DVR on my other TV and listen to that audio.
The dude abides.
I've only ever owned 09 and 11, prior to 14. So, for me, complaining about commentary is just looking to complain.
I got 2 more games in and the CPU has closed the batting average gap to .280 (User) to .218 (CPU). I'll post some more stats after I get 2 more games completed in a few hours. At that point, I'll have data for 8 games on these sliders and I'll adjust as needed from there.
I owned 06 thru 09 then needed a break. I bought 12 after 2 years of 2K and am just tired of the series. Commentary is a very important part of a game IMO. Smooth will probably enjoy it but Matt V is tiresome for me.
I still remember falling instantly in love with 06. The fanboys of the series bother me though. They line up on their knees at OS for the devs.
Okay, 4 more games.
NYY 6-11-0
BOS 4-6-0
New York had 2 doubles, a triple and a home run. Boston had a double and a homer. New York struck out 7 and walked 3 while Boston struck out 8 and walked 5.
BOS 6-12-1
TOR 3-8-0
Boston had 4 doubles and 2 homers, the Jays had a homer. Boston struck out 12 and walked 2, Toronto struck out 6 and allowed 2 bases on balls.
BOS 4-11-0
TOR 1-6-0
The Sox had 2 doubles and a triple, Toronto had a double and a homer. Boston pitchers struck out 6 and walked just 1, while the Jays' staff K'd 3 and walked 3.
BOS 1-5-1
TOR 2-6-0
Izturis had a walk-off solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth to win it for Toronto. Boston had a pair of doubles to Toronto's pair of homers. Boston struck out 6 and walked 4. Toronto struck out 7 and walked 4.
In 8 games, I went 6-2. Here are the raw totals (average in parenthesis):
CPU hitters
56/264 (.211)
6 2B (0.75)
2 3B (0.25)
8 HR (1.00)
16 XBH (2.00)
22 R (2.75)
User hitters
72/261 (.276)
16 2B (2.00)
2 3B (0.25)
6 HR (0.75)
24 XBH (3.00)
34 R (4.25)
CPU pitchers
42 K (5.25)
20 BB (2.50)
User pitchers
58 K (7.25)
23 BB (2.88)
I'm going to make a slight tweak to get the CPU more hits, play 8 more games and see where I'm at.
