krawhitham Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 anybody else find real easy to score with this dat file, I like the cameras, and the positioning of the infielders. But the scores were 50-0 & 48-2 in the two game I played on PRO level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the scores were 50-0 & 48-2 in the two game I played on PRO level kraw, glad you like the work. I respect your opinion being you are so active here on the site plus all the work you put into your mods. (just to note, I do welcome feedback and suggestions from anyone) Anyway... If you add in Rodkey's updates for hitting that should help make it more difficult to score. The datafile I uploaded contains no mods to the hitting game. To me Rodkey's ball physics and hitting mods are the best. And as I am sure you know...your sliders make a big difference no matter what datafile you use. The datafile I use for my games includes Rodkeys hitting mods with a whole bunch of other tweaks I made. There are also a number of other datafile mods which I inlcluded from other peoples' datafiles in the download section. I just didn't get around to asking all of them permission if I could include their work with mine into one Combo datafile. I get the typical 5-2, 3-1, etc games along with an occasional blowout for either side (me or CPU). edit: P.S. I play my own games...I dunno how this or any other datafile affects simmed or coached games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enough email space and I never said you couldn't email me...if I didn't want any email I wouldn't provide my address...I just thought it to be easier to collect thoughts, feedback and opinions here rather than through email for a good number of reasons.

MaddiesDaddy Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 v1.1 just uploaded -changes - -moved 1B back on one of the bunt plays to make it more of the general bunt coverage play that the third baseman or pitcher would field the bunt -moved 2B closer to 1st base when 1Bman is up for a bunt, thus giving the2Bman less of a distance to get to first to cover the bag -adjusted 2B position on double play alignments for both left handed and right handed hitters...I thought he was to close to the bag and not deep enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddiesDaddy Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 A quick update on a bad oversight on my part... I failed to mention that the batter walk up music is turned off in this datafile. I have updated the readme to reflect this. My apologies for any confusion or frustration this oversight may have caused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skte1ement Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 ok just played my first game and its a great datafile. you cant really go wrong building off of the first one. couple things i noticed that can easily be changed with sliders but i want to make sure other people are noticing the same thing before i mess with it. i played as the A's against the yankees who have the 1st ranked pitching and 2nd hitting so i figured i was in for a good game. it seemed like my hitting was a little juiced, i had lots of screamers through the infield that the yankees could not field cleanly, they were not errors just smashed balls. i am thinking maybe lower my power down a bit? also i killed the pitching i had 14 hits through 4 innings and swung at everything after that. i was thinking it might be because it is the first time i used trues batting camera and it seems eaiser to see the ball. another side note i threw my first shut out complete game with the 06 mod. did i just play one of my best games, it certainly is plausible or are other people experiencing similar results? thanks again maddiesdaddy for your work, i love the camera.

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks I will take a look at the batted balls parts. Although I am not having that sort of trouble. But that could be because you may be better at hitting than I. That's one thing I noticed with modding a datafile for those who play the game (i.e., don't sim)....there is always a personal effect to it. Meaning although I try my best, the datafile is always skewed to make the game more realistic based on how I play it. This is why at first all that I modded were the infielder positions because that has nothing with how well or poor you play the game. Where the fielders are is right or wrong no matter what. But I thought I would put the datafile I use for my games out there for others to use or mod even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 ok just played my first game and its a great datafile. you cant really go wrong building off of the first one. Not much difference between them anymore Batter Walkup Music is turned off NOPE people bitched Trues changes to remove foul ball replays NOPE people bitched Spitoons Walk Mod YEP Trues Batting Camera #4 Mod YEP Pared's behind the pitcher camera #6 YEP Some of Rodkey's Ball Physics for how a batted ball leaves the bat Rodkey's Fielder Movement Animations Rodkey's Bunt Modifiers Rodkey's Player Speed Ratio is that stuff from 2004? KSM's Camera Views for fielding, batter intro, game intro etc. (from his v0.5 release) YEP from version 4.0 Infielder Fielding Position Changes YEP Only thing missing from MD's is SerialMike's Walk and Strikeout fix & abhall's High Heat" Low Batting view camera only thing 06 is missing is the Rodkey stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Based on some feedback (thanks skte1ement)...I have updated my datafile yet again... * v2.1 changes * -continued tweaks to cpubatter, batter and batterai lines as well as batting/ball physics to increase foul balls, batters chasing pitches, etc. -adjusted ball physics so that there were more soft ground balls With this datafile I have played three very exciting games today. Last one vs. Twins I faced Santana, worked him to over 110 pitches through 7.1 innings and earned 4 walks off him too. He also threw a wild pitch. I threw the Unit out there and fanned 6, walked 2 and gave up two runs in 6.2 innings. Throwing over 90 pitches myself. What does this possibly tell me...that the CPU is working the count through foul balls and taking pitches. They also chased a lot of pitches and sometimes tried to check their swings on pitches out of the zone. I gave up a dinger to Tony Batista along with 7 other hits. So I am not blowing them away either. I will continue to monitor the way the game plays. Of course this will be based a lot off my abilities. But I will try and be as thoughtful of this fact as possible as I make tweaks to the datafile. Enjoy the rest of your weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
