Classic pitching question.

Re: Classic pitching question.

I've noticed that, too. I've also noticed different "levels" of vibration. Sometimes the controller vibrates strongly. Sometimes, I can barely feel it.

Since my controller is basically new (got PS4 for Xmas), I'm thinking it's related to what you mentioned.

Could be more nuance to even the max effort mechanic, which is interesting.

I know that if I don't feel vibration, then I just start tapping.

I never bothered to mention it in my previous post. But since you bring it up, it's not your controller. It's the game. I too experience different vibration intensity levels.

Don't tap too quickly with a runner on or else you will balk (if you have balks on in the settings)..

Always try to remember where your ball is breaking for whatever pitch you are throwing and adjust accordingly..

Re: Classic pitching question.

The timing of the button release is the mechanic behind classic. As such, there is no ideal timing to be used all the time. Maybe I want a tight slider on the outside corner, so I max my effort (i.e. vibration triggered) with the risk of worse control. Maybe I want a bigger breaking slider, so I use less effort. Maybe I want a really loopy slider, so I tap on the button.



The really fun thing is that the "feel" will change game-to-game for each pitcher....once you gain experience, you will even be able to tell during pitcher warm-ups if your guys "has it" that day.

The feel can also change from inning to inning, usually when your pitcher is starting to wear down. I love the challenge for every pitch/game.
