mdchap Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Ok guys I need your help. I really want to play MVP. It's getting very frustrating. I cannot find a good datafile and or slider set to use. Here is my problem. Either my offense is too powerful and my pitching is good or I cannot hit and the CPU hits everything. I want a combo of different things. I want to see Roger Clemens have a great game, and maybe the next time he gets lit up! I want to have Derek Lee go off one game with a bunch of RBI's and hits and then have a cold streak. You really do not see these type of things in this game. I truly would like to love this game but I've tinkered with soo many things without an answer yet. Anyone know of any Datafiles/combos that would accomplish this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capa Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Come on guys... All of those that play their games must be using something to make the game enjoyable. The problem with your question, and the reason that you are not getting any input, is because there is no clear cut answer. That's why there are so mant datafiles and slider setting floating around. One man's meat is another man's poison. What one player finds realistic, another finds over the top. It all comes down to what skills you have with the joystick, what type of games you prefer to see, in essense, what is "real" for you. Some people love Trues updates based on new ball physics, other sprefer the out of the box physics. Some people like Spitoons walk fix, others can't play with it at all. Many people have found the combination they like based on trial and error. It is the only way really. If I recommend a datafile and slider settings to you, it means nothing since we both play the game differently and expect different things. Unfortunately, you'll have to keep experimenting...

AcousticNut Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Exactly what Capa said... I've used plenty of "I've found the perfect combination" sliders / datafiles, but they weren't perfect for me. Only by tweaking my own datafile and tweaking my own sliders was I able to get a combination that worked for me. I'll be happy to post my datafile / sliders if you want to give them a shot, but can't say that it's going to work for you and your style of play.

RichKo Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 This year the sliders actually affect game play. I just used EAs and tweaked them to my level of gameplay (or lack of ). I just tinker with rosters and stadium mods. Play a few practice games and make adjustments to your level of gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticNut Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Ok accousticnut. Lets have your datafile and slider settings Here you go man. I took bits and pieces from a lot of great modders to put these together (if you released a datafile or sliders I probably took inspiration from you). I hope you find your game here. Hitting's difficult; you have to be patient and punish mistakes. When pitching, keep the balls on the corners or you'll get hammered.

vinnycast27 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 i'm in a dynasty with seattle currently top with a 25/19 record. i find my game play fun and challenging. i play using: Datafile JIMS DATA FILE V2 Sliders i used JIMS SLIDERS from the thread in MVP ANNOUNCEMENTS-JIM DATA V3.yes i know im using sliders for v3 in v2. but if you follow that thread you'll understand why. :roll: you like me will change a few values in the sliders he suggested but overall they are spot on. One final and quite important point is this: when you d/l jim datafile v2, theres 2 data files in the rar file. one with spittonns walk fix one with out. every datafile tends to inclue this walk fix, (i.e the green bar is literally non existant when pitching) i've had to set sliders at +30 to even have a chance! of hitting a perfect and get k's when using the datafiles with the "walk fix". So when i used jims v2 datafile without the "walk fix" i set USER PITCH DIFFICULTY AND USER PITCH CONTROL TO -40 and -50. once i did this i found a perfect mix for my own ability. i play on pro and by setting the values mentioned aboved to -40 and -50 i can play well and dominate with my better pitchers (like in real life) as well as take a beating every now and then. Also with my poorer pitchers get blown away or even put in some great performances and get some shutouts etc.. sorry for the ESSAY AND A HALF here, but hopefully it will overall help you in your quest for a great datafile and slider mix.:flux: *man my fingers hurt, i'm gonna go lie down* :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolliefingers08 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hey, just so you know, thats spam. Don't worry though, just don't do it and you'll be fine. possibly the most anal message board on earth? i tried a few different datafiles, and while i liked the ball physics and the types of hits that were going around, it was impossible for me to pitch even with control and difficulty as easy as possible. if anyone could just change how hard the ball is hit and where it goes to make it more real without touching pitching at all, i'd be so very happy. but for now i'm playing out of the box.

Zelda55 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 possibly the most anal message board on earth? you're right...fastlink just scavenges around looking to act like a moderator on the forum...you'd think the guy would have something better to do than constantly tell people that they're spamming instead of letting the real mods deal with it.

vinnycast27 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 hey, did my suggestion help? im just curious because it seems not everyone (mainly the guys who suck at pitching in this game) can play with "walk fix" datafiles. i want to know if there's a happy ending to this story?

But this set up is just way too easy. I know that to each his own and all but I tried your exact settings and the green zone is like an inch wide.. lol. I guess everyone has to figure it out for themselves. Just about ready to start my Mariner dynasty as soon as I tweak a few more faces and rosters.

Just about ready to start my Mariner dynasty as soon as I tweak a few more faces and rosters. You can always try the v2 version of my datafile (I'm the "Jim" that Vinny refers to) with Spitoon's walk fix or the v3 version that adds SerialMike's strikeout and walk fix as well. You'll find that the green zone is MUCH smaller. And if it's still too easy for you, turn down the User Pitch Meter Difficulty slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about ready to start my Mariner dynasty as soon as I tweak a few more faces and rosters. thanks for the responce, this is a wierd topic and discussion because when i add in those values when i pitch with jamie moyer, i'll admit it is little generous. but he's my #1 starter my main guy so i want to do well with him you know. but despite using he same settings when its Pinerio, Meche, Franklin, Sele etc....or even Kazmir who i just traded for. the zone is tiny, whether this is because of their ability and it gives you a smaller zone because they are poor pitcher or what? but you are also very much right, because when i play exhibition games using say Rndy Johnson, Curt Schilling etc..the zone is MASSIVE loads bigger than it is with moyer. maybe i just want a lil more dominance with my main guy, because lets face it the seattle bullpen and starting pitchers are pretty lame. if you got a poor pitching rotation and staff use what i recommended if not go crazy, -50 control and difficulty lol im 3 games over 500 in my dynasty and in middle of june, and my team ERA is about 4.45 last time i checked which is rather embaressing considering im leading my division lol i guess i've got slow reactions and just cant hit that green zone in time. anyways i'd love to hear from others who need that lil extra help when pitching :yeah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
