Do You Like Pitcher Deliveries?

Re: Do You Like Pitcher Deliveries?

I think they are way too slow and the arm action is nowhere near as violent as real life. Mariano Rivera is one prime example. His arm action in the game looks like he is throwing BP.

The motions themselves are accurate, but the speed and whip of the arms are the issue.

Pitching deliveries have always been the biggest wart in the game Someone around here said it was like they were lobbing softballs to the plate. I never could understand why SDS has never address this. That "other game" from the Far East nailed down pitching animations/motions two console generations ago. There's really no excuse why this can't be perfected now.

It’s demonstrably false that they haven’t addressed it; it’s gone from pretty bad to pretty good over the past 12 years or so, and this year is the best yet. You are however absolutely correct that they’re still mostly not great and that’s surprising. Maybe this gen is the gen they finally get it right. We’ll see.

Pitch deliveries are the best they’ve ever been this year....... I have no idea how someone came to the conclusion they’ve gotten worse

One delivery did get worse though, and that would be Sean Newcomb of the Braves. Sean has a buttery smooth delivery in real life, and in the game until this years game.

This has been driving me nuts since Greg Maddux was still on an active roster. And I'm sure the same godawful pitching animation they gave him in 2006 is still in the game in 2021.

It is along with a lot others.

Don’t get me wrong they have improved on some aspects of it but with certain arm angles and follow throughs they just haven’t got it. Look at Trevor Bauer this year and compare him to last years. Last years was so much better. Like I said also a lot of motions look like there lobbing the ball and not whipping it. Zach Davies has a heavy arm whip and in the game he’s throwing BP.

Is it me or pitchers deliveries get worse and worse every year. Some have a slow motion delivery when they have a faster motion in there delivery (Ohtani prime example) and some deliveries are so robotic and stiff (Joe Kelly).

I hear you. I hope at least next year or the year after they become more lifelike.

I'm not entirely sure if the animations on the movement are 100% correct or not, but what I do know is that the violent aggression is not present the way it should be. Them dudes IRL are slingin it...

Arm speed is way too slow in this game. They haven’t addressed it for years

Re: Do You Like Pitcher Deliveries?

This is objective bull****. The newer deliveries are light years better than the old ones. Are they better than PYS yet? not at all but saying they haven't improved is pure hyberbolic garbage. Don't cry about the devs not bothering to listen to this forum when people waste their time being as dumb as possible.

The only one being hyperbolic is you. The guys isn't wrong that arm speeds remain way too slow. The problem hasn't been addressed for years or it wouldn't remain a problem.

The devs not coming here has nothing to do with posts like his, or even yours. They've changed the way they interact with the community and that's all. Their own forums, which are much more toxic than here, and twitch/twitter are their main methods of communicating with their fans now.

I know you're trolling, but enlighten us.. I know they talked specifically about fixing deliveries in 18 or 19, and they did speed up some animations but left most unchanged including the generic ones..

This used to be the kind of thing The Show would take initiative on, that's how this game got the great reputation is has. Now customers get attacked for mentioning anything that could be improved.

I feel like a lot of Xbox people are wondering what all the noise was about.
