    Is upgrading break/velocity/control of specific pitches gone in RTTS 18?

    Hey all, I've watched most of the videos on the new RTTS but haven't watched the full stream yet, wondering if this has been covered or if anyone knows the answer...

    When playing as a pitcher in RTTS 18, how much control will we have over our specific pitches? I really enjoyed in years past finding the perfect amount of break/velocity to add to each pitch to make my pitch arsenal perform just how I wanted, but I'm worried with the changes to RTTS, we won't have that granularity with our pitches anymore. For example, if I strike a guy out with my slider, will ALL aspects of my slider "improve" (movement, velocity, and control)? What if I want to maintain velocity, or even downgrade it to make a pitch slower? Maybe I want to slow my slider down to match my changeup, so that batters can't tell which it is until it breaks, etc. That was possible last year, but I'm struggling to imagine how it would still be possible within the new progression method we've seen in some of the videos (I've only actually seen hitter progression though, so maybe this was explained and I just have not seen it yet).

    Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

    You still progress individual pitches.

      Thanks! Can you still progress/regress each aspect of a pitch separately? So if I wanted to make a specific pitch slower, but with a bigger break, I can?
