    Post your pitching settings and tell why you like them..

    Thanks to BleacherCreature for giving me the idea for this thread when he mentioned it in another one of my posts. What pitching settings do you use and why are they working for you? This game seems to bring out many different philosophies in people this year and it's interesting and helpful to hear them.

    -Do you use classic or meter?
    -What level do you pitch on? Vet, AS, Leg, HOF
    -What are you set at for human and cpu
    -What is it about these settings that works for you?

    1. I use classic pitching. I am really erratic with meter pitching even when I hit in the green and the yellow line. I like classic because I think it relies more on the pitchers abilities.

    2. I pitch on Veteran. I suck at pitching so it gives me a good challenge.

    3. My HUM pitching sliders are as follows:
    Starer Stamina: 6 - Pitchers are low on energy around 100 pitches
    Reliever Stamina: 0 - I think is what everybody is using
    Pitcher Control: 1 - Good mix of hitting spots and being erratic
    Pitcher Consistency: 7 - Too many wild pitches

    My CPU pitching sliders are as follows:
    Starter Stamina: 6 - As stated above
    Reliever Stamina: 0 - As stated above
    Pitcher Control: 5 - Haven't felt the need to change this
    Pitcher Consistency: 10 - As stated above
    Strike Frequency: 0 - Saw way too many 1st pitch strikes
    Manager Hook: 6 - Manager were leaving pitchers in too long
    Pickoffs: 0 - They still throw over and I still get picked off sometimes

    4. I can pitch really well with good pitchers like Zach Duke and then bad pitchers get eaten up alot of times.

    Hope this helps

      1 - I use classic pitching because the meter is too accurate for me.

      2 - I pitch on HoF because the CPU would be much too ridiculous using classic pitching on Legend.

      3 -
      HUM pitching sliders:
      Starer Stamina: 6
      Reliever Stamina: 0
      Pitch Control: 5 - This is purely a meatball slider
      Pitcher Consistency: 7

      CPU pitching sliders:
      Starter Stamina: 6
      Reliever Stamina: 0
      Pitch Control: 7
      Pitcher Consistency: 7
      Strike Frequency: 5
      Manager Hook: 7
      Pickoffs: 2

      4 - Upping CPU pitch control has been the best way of making the CPU throw more balls for the last 2 years and this slider still works very similarly. Starter stamina needs to be higher than default to pitch a normal start pitch count wise with being at full energy for his next start. CPU leaves the starters in for too long, even at 6 I saw the CPU leave in a starter until their energy was basically gone in a blowout game that they were winning, so that starter would not be at full energy for his next start.

        I wish I could tell you all where I stand with pitching cuz its absolutely killing me. I started off default HOF went to Legend and reduced CPU hit sliders, then back to HOF and reduced CPU hit sliders and they are still just too powerful. I've played at least 30 games and my ERA is just ridiculously high up around 8 or 9 and I feel like I must really suck.

          Classic
          All-Star
          Default

          I don't like the multiple-button pushing you need with meter. I think ratings matter more on classic. And I get to watch my pitcher pitch as opposed to focusing on a meter.

            (1) Classic. I prefer the cleaner interface and I feel it gives the game a more "attribute-driven" experience.

            (2) All-Star. It's the "normal" difficulty and it has always given me the best overall experience. Legend and HOF feel too artificial for me.

            (3) Human: Default, except Reliever Stamina at 0.
            CPU: I have Reliever Stamina at 0, CPU Consistency at 3, CPU Strike Frequency at 0. I can go on forever on why I settled in on this, but let's just say that when I check out other peoples' sliders I only tweak the hitting and global sliders and leave my pitching at that. I've run my own tests and have come to my own conclusions so I'm pretty much dialed in with that and completely happy with my results and experience with the CPU Pitching.

              CPU Pitch Control at 7 seems great. Strike Frequency at 0. seems to be realistic.

              default is a strike fest IMO.

                CPU Control and Consistency at 6, Strike Frequency at 0.

                And I just switched over to classic style pitching, and let me tell you, that is certainly the way to go.
