Jim825 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I may try modifying your datafile to use my fielding cameras to see if that makes any difference. I made the changes, ran a quick test (played a quick half inning) and it's definitely much easier on my eyes. I'll look for your sliders later tonight.

jaywil Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 okay dumb question, but when modifing the sliders (+) numbers mean increase in stamina, fatigue or player ability, etc.... and (-) means decrease in the same areas? that is my guess, but would like to ask .

Hoop27 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 hey maddies try turning off the hitters eye. OMG it makes the batting that much tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddiesDaddy Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 hey maddies try turning off the hitters eye. OMG it makes the batting that much tougher. yeah I know, but the way I see it is this....and it's mostly an excuse, but at least it's got some logic :roll: most major league hitters are good enough to pick up the spin, rotation or something about the pitch as it leaves the pitchers hand...thus picking up the pitch as its approaching....now since you aren't going to see the spin/rotation of the laces in a computer game, I figure this is the next best thing. plus if you notice for some pitchers it's harder to see, meaning they hide the ball better before releasing. this is something EA coded on purpose and I like it. I know in a way it's more like cheating...and maybe I'll try it for a while, but at this point I am a bit of trained dog with it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywil Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 MaddiesDaddy. You said you play all of your games, no simming. Does this include your minor leagues? I play my Major League Team, but I sim my Minors. Does alot of people do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play my Major League Team, but I sim my Minors. Does alot of people do this? no only Major League games...sorry I should have specified that. Actually I do play a Minors game every once in a while but not often. I have yet to start a season yet so I don't know how or if the datafile will affect those simmed games. From what I understand, the datafile really does not affect simmed games, unless you have the CPU play the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdekool Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I play my Major League Team, but I sim my Minors. Does alot of people do this? I only play my Major League Team as well, I have played one minor league game but i found it a little boring since the players' attributes are very low..

LOL But I have to admit now that I've played a half dozen games with hitters eye off I am really enjoying the challenge, except of course when the bloody cpu throws me a 2-0 changeup and I've swung before the ball is within 10 ft of the plate :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 except of course when the bloody cpu throws me a 2-0 changeup and I've swung before the ball is within 10 ft of the plate I swing that early even with hitter's eye on! I swear the changeup is gonna be the end of me. I couldn't hit one to save my life...well, maybe if I could swing twice on the same pitch could By the way, MD's datafile owns all.

Thanks kg.... and as for the change up....you guys are right on the $$ once I start my season in the next day or two, I dread the games I play against Minnesota because when I play them in exhibition I always go against Santana and I swear there is a string attached to that ball, I cannot hit that dang change for anything!!! always way out in front...although in my last game he hung one and Matsui drove it off the baggy in right. but that would be what 1 in like 200 swings against that change....it's deadly!!!

Hoop27 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 What I have found with hitters eye off is I am tending to slap a few more pitches the other way than I used to. Guess it makes sense since you really have to be defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 played another game with the datafile. Another fun game, but again the scoring was really. It ended in a 10-9 loss for me with a bunch of homers and the balls just seemed to explode off the bats. I'm gonna mess with my slider settings and see if that will change anything.

Treeroot Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 This is a great datafile. I am getting all kinds of different hit types now. Even getting fly balls over the outfielders heads which almost never happened before. I too, am scoring alot of runs with All-Star difficulty but hoping that with some slider tweaks I'll be good to go. Maybe I'll just move up to MVP. I also lowered pitch accuracy a little more in the datafile as I almost NEVER walk anyone...had four walks first game with the accuracy tweak. Great job MaddiesDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Once the 2006 mod is finalized I am going to come out with a slider set more geared to maddies datafile. With any luck I'll have it out by the 9th (Sooner if that work thing doesn't get in the way too much ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm posting this here because I think it's a problem with the datafile. Here's what happens. It's happened twice so far, both to left handed batters (Adam Dunn and Tony Clark) in view 4. Everyone else is fine, but for some reason when one of them comes up, it goes to this awkward view thing. All I have to do is switch to view 1 and everything is fine, but view 4 is my personal favorite. Any idea what is causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a player doesn't fit into the camera view, you'll get a weird perspective. At least that's what I observed when editing camera views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what I observed when editing camera views. It's interesting to hear about this problem, because I experienced the same issue last year when I imported some of KSM's cameras into my datafile. I saw the exact same thing using Total Classics whenever Darryl Strawberry came up to bat. I just looked at my rosters with MVPEdit and found out that he is listed as 6'6" tall. I'll have to run a quick experiment later to make him shorter to see if the issue goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Played another game, and this time it was a low scoring game (3-2). I changed some of my sliders, but I still was able to hit the ball pretty well. So far this is the best datafile that I've played with, esspecially when you mix it with the right set of sliders.
