    Re: Legend pitching

    I wonder if it’s placebo? Since I read this thread and got the patches after 1.04 I’m thinking pinpoint is easier to locate. Anyone else notice any difference pitching on legend? This is why I hate patches, I asked 3 times in 2 different threads if gameplay was any different because I was LOVING gameplay at 1.04

      Keep using it and you'll find that pinpoint will become the easiest to place pitches.

        I think they made pinpoint easier. It feels way easier to hit the spot. There was a greater margin for error before 1.05. Honestly if this is the case they have ruined the game for me

          Nothing has been changed. You still have the dark gray circle that tells you where the ball could end up on perfect pitches. So, as you're aiming, say a curveball, the dark circle may be kind of large. The ball will go anywhere within that circle based on if you received perfect. Hitting perfect on pinpoint has been pretty easy since release. When I streamed the game on release, people were wondering how I hit perfect pitches so often. None of the mechanic has been altered.

          I posted a tutorial on it on release, and the only information incorrect is where I say blue is signaling perfect for the portion of the mechanic, when in fact, blue is ALWAYS a perfect pitch. As long as you perform all three parts of the mechanic with a green, you'll always be rewarded a perfect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-cvivkDXyw

            I do understand how to use it, the timing that feels like it has changed is after you create the motion and press down. The error for when timing the move down was more sensitive before IMO as I would hang pitches that were low because I was slightly off on the height timing. Height timing feels more forgiving

              It wasn't. It was always easy. You may just be better at it.

              Honestly, I just don't see any difference.

                Are you guys finding legend pitching still easy? Have any of you tried legend plus using dynamic difficulty?

                  This is true.

                  I jumped to conclusions at first and felt Pinpoint wasn't worth the adjustment compared to Pure Analog, but after extensive use, I've found I couldn't have been more wrong than any opinion I've ever had on this game.

                  It's hands down the easiest -- and most dominate -- interface to use and always has been since release. Only took me 1-2 weeks before it became my primary.🤐

                    And the flip side if I use pinpoint, analog, or meter on AS or HOF it’s way too easy.

                    I use Classic pitching, on Legend difficulty, with the Tigers in my franchise. I currently have a 2.96 staff ERA (66 games into the season, playing every single pitch) CPU contact and power up 2 from default.


                    I like the feel of classic, because every single game is different. Some days, your starter has GREAT "stuff" some days, he has GOOD "stuff" and some days, he can't find the plate to save his life.

                    And it can go from great/good stuff to horrible stuff mid game. You have to adjust.

                    You have to really think about your pitches, and set up the hitter. I always think 2 or 3 pitches ahead, try to keep the hitter off balance. With meter/pinpoint pitching (and even Pulse to a point) if you are really good at it, you can locate your pitches almost wherever you want. With Classic, that isn't the case. And I like that aspect a lot.

                      Hey what did u bump up for the CPU?

                        Turn user pitcher consistency to 0 and control to 2, with cpu contact at 3 if on legend. Best way I've found to create more realistic amount of mistake pitches and actually issue walks. Even using classic pitching. And if you're not using Classic pitching then that alone would make it a lot more challenging. I couldn't imagine using meter personally. I would get bored pretty quick I think once I mastered it.

                          At this point I still use Pinpoint interface on Legend, but my Human Pitcher Control is at 1 while my Human Pitcher Consistency is at 2. I enjoy the Pinpoint interface quite a bit, it brings me back to some of my 2k days. Having both sliders that low allows me to still see pretty clear differences between my top guys like Soroka and Fried while a guy like Hauscar Ynoa is struggling to keep his ERA under 5 in my franchise.
