    Time to revamp pitch movements?

    I was looking through different movement and all that. Since I'm sure you guys noticed some lack of movement, especially in the 2-seamers. It barely moves even on high movement while looking through videos, there are some crazy movement in real life while the game it looks like crap.

    Someone mentioned they should use the vertical and horizontal movement to replace the current pitcher's movement sliders, would give the pitches much more realistic look. For example, sliders are always sweeping the same in game while lots of them drop like a curveball instead of sweep in real life. So using the vertical/horizontal numbers could make them look close to real life since everyone has different movement for their pitches. Instead of having separate pitches like 12-6, sweeping curve, we could just put the most common pitches and let the movement decide what specific pitches they are, like curve into sweeping, 12-6, slurve whatever. Sinker depending on the movement, sinker or 2-seam. Stuff like that. I think that would make the individual pitcher throw more accurate pitches.

    Just a thought, thanks to a reddit post Discuss away!
