Question about pitching interfaces

[Ghost Of The Year]

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

I use analog but I wish we could get rid of the meter. I prefer the clean HUD as well and just timing the analog movements with the pitcher's motion rather than staring at a meter...Now I just shrink the meter to the minimum size and move it to a corner of the screen but I'd prefer an option to get rid of it altogether.

Isn't Classic the same as Meter, but with an ''invisible'' meter?
If so, please don't get rid the meter Sony.

Meter but i may try out analog this year just to try something different.

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

Been using analog but ive found it too easy. Seems like if I make the right input any pitcher can be a beast.
Tried pulse and I couldn't get a ball in the strike zone. Have no idea how people use it the thing goes way too fast for me.
I kind of like meter and it's a stupid complaint but the meter size and colors really bother me. It's like a big rainbow on the middle of my screen.

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

Not sure if you've already tried this but you can change the size and position of the meter in the custom camera section.

Analog since they introduced it!

I would recommend classic.

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

Analog primarily. Sometimes will switch to Meter or Classic to change things up. Have tried Pulse some since they introduced it. But in order of my usage probably something like:
1)Analog 80%
2)Meter 10%
3)Classic 8%
4)Pulse 2%

I am thinking of trying Classic more this year, and let my pitcher's ratings be more of a determining factor.

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

I only use classic pitching but I'm thinking of trying pulse.

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

I like rotating between all of them, if you stay with one style of pitching you get to use to it and becomes to easy, if every game you play use a different pitching style then it makes the game alot harder imo.

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

Classic here so I don't overly influence performance of the pitcher. I want the ratings to dictate the effectiveness/performance

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

Classic Pitching/behind the pitcher broadcast view

Timed Hitting/batter view custom camera

Auto fielding/broadcast view

User throwing (button, meter off/ratings driven only)

User default base running (assisted)

All on screen aids are turned off.



Love these those interfaces/options. It gives me the most simulation like results, and the cleanest screen which is of the utmost importance to me.

When I first started playing The Show I used meter and zone hitting. Starting on MLBTS 11 I made a permanent switch to the settings above after playing it on MLBTS 09 (skipped 10) for half a season and loving it.

Re: Question about pitching interfaces

I went back to classic last year because now I actually walk guys once in a while. I like pulse, but it's really easy for me to hit my spots. I like the idea of analog, but I could never get the feel for it.

Question about classic pitching..... I used to use it, but I never felt like I had control of what I was doing. Is it just a button press and that's it? Or is there really a certain way to properly classic pitch?

This may be placebo, but I've found that if I move the cursor and hold it there for a second after I deliver, the pitcher is more likely to miss in that direction, rather than over the plate.

So for a 2 K pitch I want in the dirt, I'll move the pitch down, then hold it there after I've pressed the button and it seems as though the pitch is more likely to miss down in the dirt instead of up over the middle.

You can also hold it longer to give more effort. If you hold it for more than 2 seconds, I think, there is a rumble and that's like going with a full bar on meter/analog pitching.
