Love classic pitching. It's all that I use.

Classic Pitching + Timing Hitting = True Sim results.

I agree...human skill comes into play still, but mostly the ratings take over.
I still need to time my swing, and locate my pitches...but if I am playing as Wainwright or as Miggy Cabrera, I need them to play like them (provided I am pressing the right buttons at the right time), and not play like me.

Cant strike out nobody this year.

I too am a Classic Pitching convert, and I too have trouble throwing outside the zone with fastballs.

Love the mode, love the (in)consistency. This year, however, for whatever reason my walks are way down. So are my strikeouts.

Re: Thoughts on Classic Pitching

I'm using classic pitching in franchise more this year than ever before. (Had been using mostly Analog the past couple years). One thing I find that I don't like is Classic pitching combined with Quick Counts is a recipe for disaster. Too many walks even for guys who shouldn't be walking many. When Quick Counts already starts the Human pitcher/CPU batter with too many 3 ball counts as it is, combine that with classic pitching and you pretty much just have to try and groove one down the middle to avoid walking 5-6 guys a game. And by grooving one, you have too many hits. Trying to hit a corner with 3 balls in the count with classic pitching results in a walk 2/3 times for me.Especially once you go to your bullpen, classic pitching with quick counts becomes quite frustrating.

I'm debating if I want to go back to Analog or turn off quick counts. I was hoping to play all 162 games in a franchise this year, and quick counts makes that more possible.

I personally dislike quick counts i get why its in the game but not a fan
