D-Unit Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I am capable of pitching a shutout through nine innings around 40-50 pitches. I want it to be more realistic (in terms of pitch count) so i changed the CPU swing frequency to -50. But it hasn't changed anything. Is there a way this could be fixed?

kgbaseball Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Change the difficulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishJoe Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yeah, KG is right. Usually the difficulty is the first change you should make. Also, are you using the default MVP setup or have you installed the MVP06 Mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 i installed the mvp06 mod, and i play on MVP difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishJoe Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Dang! 8O I doubt I'm as good as you, but I usually get a good amount of realistic results with these sliders - but I use them on All-Star setting :oops: : User Pitch Meter Difficult: (25) CPU Pitcher Ball Rate: 13 User Pitcher Fatigue: (30) CPU Pitcher Fatigue: 30 User Pitcher Control: (45) Bullpen Fatigue Rate: (5) User Batting Contact: 20 CPU Batting Contact: (25) User Batting Power: 30 CPU Batting Power: (20) CPU Bunting Ability: 15 User Foul Ball Frequency: 45 CPU Foul Ball Frequency: 40 CPU Swing Frequency: (10) User OF Speed: 8 User INF Speed: 6 CPU INF Speed: 4 CPU Runner Aggression: 10 User Runner Steal Delay: (2) CPU Runner Steal Delay: (2) CPU Steal Rate: 20 Notes: Numbers in ( ) indicate a negative value; any category not included was left at 0. I don't know if that helps at all, but it has worked for me over the course of several exhibition games. Also, are you using other pitchers aside from staff aces? By that I mean instead of a Mark Mulder, a Sidney Ponson. Hope that helps at least a little, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 i have a yankee dynasty that i play through every game in the schedule, and i have played almost 20 of them with the same sliders and they swing at everything and i end up averaging 8-9 allowed hits with my starter (through six or seven innings). and thanks for the slider help, ill try them out.

rickyfartin23 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 :lol: lol.... take the pitching cursor off.. and aim without the cursor.. and get rid of the hot and cold zones. I guaran-damn-tee that you won't be able to pitch a shutout tough guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 lol. i dont use the visible strike zone or hot/cold zones. too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishJoe Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 You know what else I forgot that rickyfartin23 reminded me of is that in addition to not having the strike zones, etc on, I also turn off the vibration on my controller. It sounds weird but with no cursor/ strikezones, painting the corner has gotten a bit difficult. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 ive always been able to paint the corners until the new mod. if i wanted it to be that hard, i would have changed the sliders myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgbaseball Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Well you said your starters have been giving up 8-9 hits through 6-7 innings; what's wrong with that? Sounds spot on to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds spot on to me. its not the spot. i put it where i want, usually an 0-2 pitch out of the strike zone. then they like pull it to the opposite field. and to polish joe, i meant the new pitching meter from he mvp06 mod.

lautrec Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'll tell you what helped me with FINALLY getting some K's, and getting my walks and pitch counts up. I LOWERED the control on all my pitchers for thier non-4 seam fastball. For example, I had Mark Prior, pretty good control on most pitches, and he just COULD NOT strike out more than 2 or 3 guys per game. Walked noone. I noticed, that with some of my mediocre pitchers, I wouldn't try to paint any corners, or even aim, just groove it down the middle, and my walks, K's and pitch counts WENT UP. The oppositon started missing some pitches, and took a lot of them. So, I cranked down the control like I stated, and man, it's made a HUGE difference for me.

D-Unit Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 that actually does make sense. when i make a mistake over the plate they usually dont swing. but if i throw them an 0-2 fastball outside they hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishJoe Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 So you manually edited each pitcher's non-4FB? 8O I might be misunderstanding I think. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 no. i mean that they are more likely to hit a pitch out of the zone. thats what bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishJoe Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 no. i mean that they are more likely to hit a pitch out of the zone. thats what bothers me. True! That seems to be the M.O. of video game's hardest levels - they defy logic. :roll: For me, that's why I like All-Star - realistic without being stunned by AI batters hitting ball 4 into the stands. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 ok, im gonna play all-star and put the hitting sliders -10 because thats the only thing that helps me on that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
