choadler Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Maddie's Daddy I play on pro with Kumala's combo file and his sliders with some tweaks. It contains Roddata's ball physics with some tweaks that Kumala made. Do you think this data file will produce good results on pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddiesDaddy Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yes it should. Try and use your sliders to adjust as necessary. I would keep the Foul ball frequency for both user and cpu at +50. But adjust your contact and power as you play until you are satisfied. My datafile contains a lot of Roddata's ball physics too. I did make it a little easier to hit though. Rodkey's datafile was just too difficult for me as is. But I wanted to keep a lot of his player animations as well as his adjustments for how the ball bounces off the bat, wall, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you tweak infielder and outfielder speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddiesDaddy Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 you're welcome...yeah...I set the User and CPU infielder and outfielder speed sliders on the plus side. But I have the CPU dive effort in the negative because they were diving for everything...well not everything, but too much in my opinion. Also I set the throw accuracy in the negative and the catch error in the positive to creat more errors. The datafile has lines and code to help both of these settings but to me this is what the sliders are for. And if you do too much tinkering with the datafile I think at some point it goes too far and you get diminishing returns on your investment.

samoggi Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Anyone have any good PRO SLIDERS for MD's Data file? OR what ALL STAR sliders are you all using for this Datafile that have been succesful, TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 it is harder than hell to hit HRs, just for fun a went back to rookie and max out user power and contact sliders. in 10 games I have hit 1 HR and I'm tring to hit them every AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 it is harder than hell to hit HRs, just for fun a went back to rookie and max out user power and contact sliders. in 10 games I have hit 1 HR and I'm tring to hit them every AB I am in the process of making it a little easier for the User to hit and making the CPU hit a little better. Right now for me it's either singles or HR's....I am not able to drive the ball to the gaps or down the line for extra base hits often enough...only 1 double in 5 games. Niether is the CPU. Actually the CPU really has yet to mount a good rally against me in 5 or so games (all in exhibition mode on All Star mode). What may prove difficult is finding the balance between getting this (above paragraph) to happen and still having enough foul balls, chased pitches, etc. Plus right now I am constantly having both my pitcher and CPU pitcher run pitch counts that are into the high 80's and above and I do not want to lose that. I am going to give this a little time though as I just got back into playing in mid Jan. and with two kids ages 2 and 6 months I get to play just about 2 times per week...and I want to get this right.

Meaning I don't know how they'd work when one is applied without the other. Of course slider settings are very personal depending on playing abilities so you may or may not find these sliders work for you even with my datafile. Ok enough disclaimers...enjoy!

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 v2.2 now available... continued tweaks to help User and CPU hit better. Wasn't enough extra base hits or rallies by the CPU for my liking. These areas will likely be my focus for a while now since I am pretty much happy (for now) with the pitch counts, number of foul balls, errors, strikeouts (looking and swinging), walks, steals, etc...

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Game I played tonight...hate to admit it, but...I played the Sox and I lost 7 - 4. Starters were Aaron Small vs. Josh Beckett. I was down the whole game and mounted two failed come backs...at the end of 3 innings I was down 3 - 0, made it 3 - 1 in the 4th and then choked with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out in the 5th. Pulled Small after 6. Sturtze held in the 7th Was down 5 - 1 going into the 7th, drove in two runs on a Sheffield HR and then another on a Bernie single after a Matsui double. So 5 - 4 going into the 8th. Brought in Vallone in the 8th to face Ortiz and Nixon. Got them but then gave up a hit to Varitek. Dotel blew it giving up another single and a double. Manny killed me. He was 4 - 4 with 2Hr's and 4 RBIs. I couldn't touch Foulke. Man I hate his delivery. It always messes me up. Damon had a double to the right field gap and Bernie roped a double off the monster in left center. Also there were a number of balls hit down the line. So far so good in my attempt to not just hit singles and HRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 the balls seem to fly off the CPU bats harder than the users bat, or am I just going crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 I was thinking the same thing. Does this mean you think the CPU batting should lighten up a little or the User batting should be a little stronger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exrxixxx Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 My start of the dynasty. MVP'06 All-Star. MD v 2.2 datafile MD Sliders from previous page R H E Tampa (me) 15 19 0 Baltimore 7 20 3 39 hits per game? As I did not paid attention to my throwing of the ball (first three innings 7 to nothing) I alloded 20 hits, but anyway, 19 hits for Human the way too much. But I appreciated the variaty of hits. Goods efforts MD. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddiesDaddy Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Wow....you're good at hitting. Thanks for the post. Maybe you need to tone down my slider settings for your abilities. Hopefully I can become that good but we'll see. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, modding a datafile is tough from the perspective that the mods will almost always be skewed towards the modders abilities & likes/dislikes in the gameplay (especially for those who play their games like me, i.e., no simming) I try to not let this happen but it's almost inherent in the modding process. I mean I cannot mod for what I don't experience in my game play. Thanks again for the input and good words. It's nice to know the datafile is being used. And I am honored you made your first post in my datafile thread. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJ Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I must admit, as a modder of my own datafiles, yours is quite good. The physics in this game are pretty good overall. In this games, the ball does what it should pretty much, but homeruns are always too far. On the basic All-Star with no modifications, I'll hit 5-8 HRs in a game. With yours, I actually hit 4 in one game with Sheffield, but the physics of them were a lot nicer. I believe that the creators of this game either neglected air friction or dulled the effects of acceleration due to gravity. That's just my opinion though. Maybe I'm just homerun king.

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thanks. I agree that the HR's go too far. Actually I first noticed using Rodkey's datafile that the HRs distance seemed to drop. Was getting more just over the fences or around the foul pole. I have tried to model after that...amongst other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've played 4 or 5 games now with your datafile Maddies, and I love it. I had to move the outfielders in myself, because I can't stand that they play so far back. I play on MVP level, so I had to adjust my sliders a little here and a little there, but I think I've found the perfect settings. Speaking of long homeruns, the first game using your file I hit a 476 foot blast with JD Drew off of Millwood. I just got finished playing with the Dodgers against the A's, and it was perfect, except for the fact that I lost. Bottom line - great datafile. It does everything you say it does.

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Btw....has anyone...using my datafile...hit a HR when not trying too, i.e., when you are not holding the stick up on your controller? I have one with Matsui off Schilling. I would like this to happen a little more especially since with guys like Cano, Bernie, Damon or Jeter as I am not looking to push up on the stick with them as often. Actually if you have done this with out my datafile please let me know too. And tell me which datafile you are using because I would like to see what the differences are...if there are any that can make a difference in this. Thanks to all. P.S. Please include which mode you play in too (Rooke, Pro, All Star, MVP)....because I have found that playing in Pro Mode with my datafile that I can get the HRs I am looking for. But I would like to get this to happen more in All Star. Of course this could all be a function of my own game play abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carramblue Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Maddie, first off your datafile is awesome. I hit 1 homerun with Jim Edmonds to the opposite field in Houstons sandbox on the Pro level. All my other homeruns I have pushed up on. Do you think by putting the user power slider -50 it would make my homeruns shorter. All of my homeruns seem to be over 400 ft. Thanks again.

MaddiesDaddy Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thanks....I have thought about that (lowering User Batting Power) but then I worry about never hitting HRs with Damon, Jeter, Cano, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I haven't had any problems with home run distance. I played as the Durham Bulls and hit homeruns with Wigginton and Upton, both between 350-380 feet. I played at Petco. A quick note regarding outfielder depth, I set my outfielders at around 60%, which to me seemed pretty realistic in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
