Do you use classic pitching?

I still have a small issue with wild pitches, but they aren't glaring.
Honestly, sliders have fixed this issue a while ago. Simply increasing user pitcher consistency to about 8 almost completely rectifies this. So instead of complaining, we should probably utilize the sliders for their intended inclusion in the game.

How does that affect your walk rate?

I don't get the Wild Pitch complaint. Haven't seen this at all. I play Franchise Mode. Maybe it only affects RTTS.

Can anyone check to see if CPU controlled teams set their relievers to ready and waiting?

Re: MLB '17 v1.08 Patch Released

I dont get the issue with passed balls...I've played over 150 DD and ranked online games and dont seem to have an issue with it. Maybe you should quit throwing balls in the dirt? Just an idea...

Trust me when I say I'm not trying to bury balls low out of the zone with runners on base, I know what can happen and avoid it at all costs. Having said that I've thrown wild pitches on fastballs in the bottom third of the zone, not out of the zone so it's not like I'm putting myself into a position to throw them by my own play calling. My gut says this issue is more prone to classic pitching due to no real control over accuracy like there is when using something like say meter for pitching. If that's the case it would explain the wide differing of opinions at times and probably why we won't see much else done with it if it's only really effecting those who use classic pitching.

I know I can raise consistency more and more until I find that happy medium I'm just a little fearful of having that negatively effect other areas like walks issued so it's a catch 22.

Yes i use classic pitching with legend difficulty with pitch control and consistancy at 5.

I think most of you need to practice a bit more and stop complaining or increase your pitch control if you're not that good. Here's a tip, play all of spring training and take off quick counts..use this time to fine tune sliders and use the slider forums for tips and discussions. Also pay attention when you're pitching, turn off your tv if its in the background, stop talking to your gf or friend and just pay attention to every pitch you make..concentrate. I don't want SSD to make this game easy for casual players, i want it to be kept a sim.

I really doubt that each of these posters, especially those who are moderators, are having issues with the "difficulty" of the game.

Back to the post, my only issue with passed balls as of late is when the CPU switches in a non-catcher into the catcher position.

I played a conquest game vs Pit yesterday and they started Jaso at C and Cervelli in CF.

Re: MLB '17 v1.08 Patch Released

I have played 10 games since the P1.08. I play QC, All-star pitch, Vet bat. I use Pulse pitching. I play as the Indians and never OL. In the last 10 games in my off line Test Franchise I have only seen 6 total pitches in the dirt and 1 wild pitch. The pitches in the dirt did not allow runners to advance when on base and none got by the catcher.The wild pitch by a Det pitcher allowed a runner to advance to 3rd base. In all my regular games I have never really seen this as an issue, but after reading so many complaints about it, I thought I would test it out.

There are a few other issues, but for myself, This really isn't one. Sorry for those experiencing it, but maybe practice, sliders, or a different pitching style as others have suggested may help.

Re: MLB '17 v1.08 Patch Released

The wild pitch issue really isn't much of an issue any more, imo. It was initially, but I think they've done a good job of fixing it.

Now if they can just do something about the lack of CPU throwing errors and tone down the amount of insane jump throws.

Re: MLB '17 v1.08 Patch Released

I strictly play online franchise and have not seen any issues with wild pitches for a long while now. They happen occasionally in game like in real life.

Bullit,

In well over 140 offline franchise games now I have never scored runs on back to back to back wild pitches from the CPU.

And rarely have I scored runs period on wild pitches. It has happened and rightfully so as it happens IRL. But nothing even close to the degree you and some others have claimed.

I'm neutral on this topic, but I'm unsure how to interpret the above statement. Are you claiming everyone else is lying or indicating that you have a slider solution that resolves the issue?
