skte1ement Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 hey nim i use the 06 mod and its perfect for me. at first i was in the same situation where i was getting slaughtered. i htink i started my A's franchise 1-7 or something but it came around eventually, the new pitching meter just takes getting adjusted to and in fact once you are used to it it becomes very easy. i find myself constantly reducing the pitching accuracy meter as the season moves along to challenge myself. once you have a couple games under your belt you will be fine. dont stress it.

Hoop27 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hoop, Thanks for your hard work on the sliders. I've been frustrated for the last year trying to find sliders that work well and just when I do it seems there is an update to the game that changes everything. Your sliders seem great and I love a good hard game as long as I know someone out there is doing well with these settings. I am playing with the Orioles so my pitchers are challenged as it is. In my first 4 games I am 1 - 3 losing two of the games by double digits. I just want to confirm that others out there are having realistic results with these settings. BTW, I am using the ultimate rosters also. Other then a few really bad innings all seems well and I just need to commit myself to learning how to pitch better. Thanks, Nim glad you like them so far. you really have to focus when pitching or it can get ugly on occasion. but you will hit that learning curve quick. for myself i think im 17-9 in my franchise. once you get the pitching down you will find it gets to a 'good tough' level that should keep the challenge going for a while.

NimCross Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Great! Thanks guys and Hoop for your hard work. As I said I don't mind getting beat as long as I know its possible to win. In past seasons I have won the world series and it felt unsatisfying. That wasn't very fun for me. If I can win with these settings I'm sure it will be much more satisfying.

NimCross Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The Expos Can you let me know where you got the data file you use? If its on here maybe a date or a link? I haven't been able to find it. I just want to remove all doubt from my mind. Thanks, Nim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NimCross Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Snepp, Thanks. Found it. If I'd had read your message right the first time I'd have found it quicker. Thanks. IMHO, the data file makes a big difference. The game play is right on now. Thanks for your hard work guys. The game is fantastic now.

superdee Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 hey Hoop, Thank you for the sliders... this is about the best I have ever had them... Pitching for me is great, I have always been a very good pitcher in this game, and this is certainly a challenging set for it... The only problem I see is that it is hard for me to hit HR's, I have played about 5 games myself in my dynasty and failed to go deep yet. I am playing with the Twins, not a lot of power I know, but still you'd think I would of hit one by accident by now. I am not sure if I should adjust the power or contact, so I want to ask you first... thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NimCross Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I had some difficulty my first few playing weeks with it, hitting home runs. Now I feel like I hit to many. Nim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdee Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 you know what... on second thought I realized I wasn't using up on the controller to elevate the ball... Was able to hit a HR on a pitch inside and then two shots off the wall... I take it back... My mistake for not using that function... in addition, you really need to wait for the right pitch... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underlined_i Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 do these sliders have an effect on MANAGED games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 do these sliders have an effect on MANAGED games? I can honestly say I have no idea. Give em a shot and see what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdee Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 hey Hoop, incase I did want to increase my HR's what should I do... After that game I played I have had trouble again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 hey Hoop, incase I did want to increase my HR's what should I do... After that game I played I have had trouble again... user batting power. I'd try and 5 point increments first. and stick with it. i find I hit most of my home runs after I work the count a bit and get into hitters counts. then look for a fastball middle in. And then of course there are the times you hit one out and you think to yourself 'how did I even make contact!' :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoop27 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 I didnt realize it was in the d/l's LOL IF so it would have been a txt file. the latest version is on the 1st pageof this thread its just as easy to copy and paste to notepad.

Hoop27 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 This (on page 1) is the final version. I'm really happy with the way it plays. As always if something doesn't feel right to you then tinker with it. The two datafiles that it seems to work with that I know of are Kraw's Beta2 update for the 06 mod. and Maddies Daddy's. It will probably work with others but I have not tried them myself. I also have no idea how it plays without the 06 mod. Have fun and if there are any questions I'll still be keeping an eye on the thread for support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 HOOP which datafile do you play with? Kraw or MD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm using Kraw's but it works well with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have been searching for Kraw's and cannot seem to locate it. I found a link somewhere, I believe earlier in this thread, but it just took me to the tc home page... I searched TC for it, and couldn't locate it their either. Could you by any chance offer help on locating Kraws datafile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think Kraw's datafile was the one used in the 06 mod. I could be wrong, so please correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think he made a beta file fix for stuttering. Snepp posted on page 5 it was at total classics, so I would try there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
