is there any point to the pitching meter ?

Re: is there any point to the pitching meter ?

The only thing I don't like about the pitch meter is that from the stretch for some pitchers it goes way too fast. Makes it almost impossible to not max out the meter which I don't want to do.

I agree 100% it gets pretty frustrating too.

Not true guys, thankfully.

You DO NOT need to hit the button to stop the meter as it rises, you can simply hold it on for a millisecond and let it go as soon as the pitcher begins the windup, you will see the line then stop at the yellow and not at the end of the red in the meter, basically what i am saying is that meter pitching can be done with 2 clicks or 3, to do it with 2 simply hold it on until you get the required amount of juice then let go, wait for the downswing and try to hit the line as normal.

Hope that helps alleviate some of your problems with that one :wink:

Sometimes when I'm facing a righty and my right handed pitcher will throw the pitch and part of the meter gets blocked by the hitter's head and makes it hard to see how far up a point I have released at.

Is there a different angled pitching view I can use? Maybe slightly farther away from where it is now.
