What Pitching Options do you use and why?

[callmetaternuts]

Trying to get handle on what pitching option to use. I go between Classic and Meter but never seem to settle on one. What do you guys use?

I pitch exclusively with meter.

I don’t like analog pitching and don’t like the “randomness” of classic

I use meter. Tried pulse for awhile when it was introduced, but I think meter is better suited for me.

Pulse just seemed a bit too random for me. I felt like I would time it up fine and the pitch would be nowhere near the target. I have not tried analog a ton, but I feel like its a bit to much work (I like to play many games a day, dont want to tire them out).

Meter works best for me in delivering realistic results. I pitch on legend and have my fair share of good and bad outings.

I'm the guy that uses pulse.

It's easy enough but also easy enough to slightly slip up and make some off pitches. Everything else I kinda feel too good with, like I can control it too well and I don't end up with enough bad pitches.

But I also haven't used meter in years and will probably play some practice games with it this year to see if I change my mind.

Pulse for me. Simple but also a bit challenging.

What's the one I always see the online people using on twitch or youtube? Its got home plate on the top and a meter on the bottom. Seems so complicated.

Meter HOF/Legend. I've been messing with Legend a lot lately and I really want to give it more of a try in '18 because it doesn't allow me to be as pinpoint as I can be with HOF. It forces me to throw off the plate and risk walking guys, because if I don't the CPU will tear me apart with its large PCI's (don't call it cheating, the CPU is supposed to have the constant ratings advantage on that level and I'm supposed to make up for it with my user skill). I can strike the CPU out even on Legend with good pitchers, which is enough to tell me that it's worth exploring.

I use Meter online too, which makes me sort of an odd duck as I know a lot of people use analog. But I rarely end up blaming the meter's mechanics for my bad pitches - if I get hit it's often because I either missed my spot on the meter or made a bad decision on where to aim in the first place.

Meter dynamic hitting/pitching. May try analog pitching just for a change this year.

Classic pitching. I want ratings to matter. Have pitched on All-Star for years but may move to Hall of Fame in 18.

Meter Legend - I like Pure Analog, but it's too easy, hoping they really did make pitching harder to spot.

HOF classic. Like Philliesfan, I want ratings to matter the most. Like the challenge on HOF the past two games.

I use pure analog pitching without strike zones, hot/cold zones, ball marker, etc. so you have to line up your pitch based on where your holding the left analog stick and the rumble feedback from the controller. I always use one of the views from behind the pitcher (can't recall exactly which one).

I have always used pure analog and love it but had to go to meter last year because pure analog was too easy . This is one of the most important things that I hope they fixed !!! And I will be happy

Classic Pitching, HOF difficulty, no visual aides whatsoever.

Clean Screen and purely ratings driven but....I love the feel and nuances of classic pitching. There is an art to pitching with it. I absolutely love it. It also gives you that true dice roll table top Strato-Matic/Statis Pro feel that even great pitchers can have really bad days. And #5 starters can come up with some gem games.

It's awesome.

Pulse for me. Simple but also a bit challenging.

What? More Pulse pitchers??

Is this real life right now. Here I was feeling like I'm the only Pulse person around Hello fellow Pulsers.

I love Pulse. It's like Classic in that you get SOME randomness, but it's not like Classic in that it doesn't disrespect BB/9 and Control (and the control slider) for the sake of increased randomness.

I can actually feel the differences and how I need to place the pitches with regard to my pitchers' command ratings (and how easy/difficult it is to nail a perfect release with that arm). There's a difference between Barraclaugh's 12 control and Shoemaker's far better BB/9 and control ratings.

I try going back to Classic and I just go like WTF why is he missing by 6 feet or throwing 6 pitches in a row down the middle with 80 command?

Pulse...he might just miss or it might leak a bit back over the plate....not all the way on the other side of it...feels more like what I see on TV/Fangraphs with pitchers.
