Supposedly it doesn’t matter in manage mode. Someone correct me if I’m wrong on this.

I do not know if it matters in manage mode either. I, however, use JoshC1977's setup and sliders for my franchise.

A developer named Brian posted on here several years ago that difficulty in manage mode doesn't matter. I'm guessing that meant hitter and pitcher difficulty are the same.

I think the sliders do make a difference. I used Josh's last year and it worked out really well. I tried using Pantherfan076 CPU sliders and the pitching seemed way different than the default.

Right now I used default for everything except for the following

Contact 6 - I played about a month of a season with it at 5 and the strikeout totals were insane.

Baserunner Speed 6 - This is more of a reaction to last year's auto baserunning issues. Now some say they never saw it but after like patch 13 last year the auto baserunning became wayyyyy to conservative.

The one group of settings I did adopt from Pantherfan was his fielding and arm strength settings of

Fielder Run Speed- 3
Fielder Reaction- 6
Fielder Arm Strength Infield- 3
Fielder Arm Strength Outfield- 6

This to me was more cosmetic than anything. It looks alot smoother when I run those settings.

I am only about 20 games but the game feels good to me now. I have had games where there 7 or 8 home runs between the two teams and I have had games where there have been none. I still get the strikeouts but not the insane amount I was getting in my first franchise.

Sliders DEFINITELY matter. In any mode. They are basically personal preference items and tweaks that can make manage mode more suitable to an individuals tastes. The base stealing sliders are an example of sliders through the years that have had to be tweaked for my tastes.

I never adjust sliders but they do make a difference. Another thing that makes a difference is what strike zone setting you use. Perfect leads to fewer runs being scored than average.
