ncbravesfan Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 First off, I want to say that I think MVP 2005 is awesome. The gameplay and graphics are great, and things will only get better once the new mods are done. That being said, the one issue I have is with the computer's lack of strikeouts. I have tested numerous slider options, but cannot seem to get to where the computer starter has more than 4 K's a game. Usually I test with Randy Johnson or Roger Clemens, and they have NEVER had more than 3 or 4 K's in a start (in about five or six test games). Is there anyone out there who has some sliders that can fix this? If so, could you post them so I could try them out? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstrickert Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Here's a thought (I know that's dangerous, coming from me!): Is the problem with hitters' hot/cold zones? Do they not have enough cold zones to go after? I don't know. It's just a thought. Or would it make a difference to edit their swing/miss tendencies?

You don't always have to throw into a batter's cold zones. You can get them out in the hot or neutral zones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stecropper Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Early this morning I tested setting via MVPEdit a complete Roster with actual Contact ratings reduced by 50% (Sliders already at -49%) and MISS plus CHASE ratings set at a Max of "15". This should have produced an abundance of strikeouts and missed swings and much fewer hits. In fact it did have an effect. But much less of one than I would have thought it should. Running 4 games the average of strikeouts was 6-8 per pitcher which isn't bad with top notch K style pitchers. At least no 1 or 2 strikeout games. But I would have expected something like 10-15 or so. The disturbing thing was the fact that each team still averaged 7-8 hits per game and 3-4 runs which I would think way too high with the MAX'ed K settings and a reduction in Contact hitting by 50%. Needless to say I went to bed a bit dissappointed and concerned that a Players Rating doesn't impact this game as much as I would have felt it should. But take this with a grain of salt since I was doing this around 4:30AM this morning after being up all day messing with this stuff since 7AM the previous morning. Just wanted to shared this with you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Also make certain that You have "Variable Strike Zone" ON. This certainly makes a different in my games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
