Guess Pitch-On or Off?

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

I leave it on, though I don't normally use it for hitting. I mostly use it if I want to steal so I guess FB and if I hear a click I press R1. I know it's cheap, but it's the only way I can steal bases.

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

Agreed. With No Feedback.

But most of the guys that are using the Guess Pitch, I would dare say are using the feedback version, and in my opinion, you find yourself guessing more than looking for pitches to drive.

Let me ask you this.

Let's say you guess a Slider Down and away. Let's say you use the Guess Pitch No Feedback. When you put a swing on the ball, and check the Swing Feedback, does that game move the COI to the area that you guessed automatically?

My point is that when you do not use it, and you manually adjust the COI to an area you are "guessing", it is more of a hands-on implementation of adjusting the swing to match the guess than the CPU setting it there for you.

So, while I agree that the No-Feedback version would be considered Michelob Ultra as opposed to a wine cooler, I prefer a Guinness.

+1, but I prefer vodka shots.

Off...always OFF.
It is nothing more than a cheat IMO. If you want to guess pitch then do it. I just don't think you should get a boost (or know if you're wrong for that matter) if you guess right.

Anyways I never use it.

I always have it off. I try and keep these "games" (like the pitching meter) out of the game as much as possible. I like to let ratings take care of the game.

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

So if, with No Feedback, I guessed correctly, I'm not notified, then what's the difference between No Feedback and off? Sorry if I sound like a noob.

(I used classic 1/6 in 09, but now reading this thread I feel compelled to change...but want to know the difference between No Feedback and off...thanks!)

If you play with no feedback you still receive the slight bonuses/hits in contact and power when you guess right/wrong you just receive no indication that you guessed right or wrong.

Russell - Are you penalized when you guess wrong?

Yes you are penalized when you guess wrong.

Thanks Russell!!

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

I use 1/4, i feel like it makes it more simulation style. I just feel like no feedback its all about if the user has great hand eye coordination. Also location only not pitch type.

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

I wish SCEA would change the default to guess pitch off. I would think a lot of people would prefer that preference

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

I keep it off. I like using the left thumbstick when I swing and with guess pitch off, using the left stick feels more natural to me. Plus, when guess pitch is on, it actually locks your PCI in one spot when you guess correctly ( I think it does anyway ).

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

I use guess pitch 1/4 for every pitch on Veteran. I've tried playing without it but feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm from concentrating too hard on every pitch. I like to sit back, relax and wait for my pitch.

It definitely helps me work the count. If I don't guess both pitch type and location on the first pitch, I pretty much always take it.

I've been pushing for no feedback as the default. But obviously, if you read the forums, there's a healthy split down the line of guess pitch user vs non-users.

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

I turned it off along time ago. The main reason is that I found it made me more aggresive at the plate. I turn it off and set the consistancy to 2 or 3 and the strikes to 0 or 1.

You get a very realistic pitch count that way.

Oh and the most important thing I learned was patience. When I am not patient I swing like no-body's business.

Re: Guess Pitch-On or Off?

Well I have been playing with it off and I am liking it as it seems more rewarding when I drill a curve ball out or adjust to a change-up while sitting fastball. Also feels like I am better at waiting for pitches in a particular batters hot zones. Takes patience but seems worth it IMO!
