RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

Re: RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

i started (before i saw this thread) with a righty, josh johnson motion:
4sfb, sweeping curve, circle change.
basically dominated out of the gate (with no sort of promotion at all, even though i went 17-3 and started the AS game first year?? what does a guy gotta do to get the call up to AAA at least?) and got my 4sfb velocity up to 77 (game said it was supposed to be 94...it topped out at 91) just after the end of season one. sweeping curve velocity up to 52 or so, circle change velocity up to 54, and i added a slider, so that velocity was only at like 45. the whole time, though, as i was adding velocity points to my fastball, i could tell it was quicker and i was getting it past guys better even if it still said i was throwing 88-91.
then i saw this thread, and i started just dumping points into my secondary pitches' velocity and now they're up to 60, 57, 58, and i can already see my fastball velocity starting to rise to where it should be.
maybe the changeup slows you down some at first, but if you bump up your fastball velocity enough and level off the others, even just a little bit, it helps a lot.

This is the very reason I wanted this thread stickied, so people who already had a RTTS going may be able to fix their problem without starting a new one.That and for guys that haven't started one yet. I wasn't able to get it stickied though...

Oh and the circle-change does effect the velocity but not as much as the other 3 pitches, I found that to be a very interesting find.

Re: RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

After restarting RTTS (and buying up thousands of points lol)...

My RHP starting 3 pitches: 4sfb, 12-6 CV and the circle change

I kept all my velocities within 3 points of each other. All in the 70s. Scouting said my fastball topped at 93. I was averaging between 91-93.

After the spending spree on points lol.....I have the velocity of all my pitches to the 90s. All within 3 points again. Scouting says fastball is supposed to top out at 98 mph. I average between 95-97.

Sooo, I dunno. The circle change seems to work fine with me.

The circle-change isn't nearly as noticeable, it will only hinder the 4SFB velocity by 1 to a couple MPH, its not a big deal but it does hurt it slightly. if you scouting report says 98 you should be averaging 96-99(99 would be rare but you should be able to hit it occasionally with a 98 MPH scouting report)

So ya its not a big problem with the circle-change, but still a slight problem...not noticeable to most lol but I'm a nerd so it is to me

Re: RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

Agreed on the circle-change. I also think your stamina rating has something to do with it. As my stamina has gone up, my velocity has also caught up to where it's supposed to be. Naturally, this would be nice to know beforehand I suppose, but it is fairly realistic, right?

I have noticed the higher my stamina the longer I can keep my pitches at high speeds, so in that sense it def does effect it in some way, it might make it a little faster, I have only increased my stamina by 5 (75) so I haven't noticed this. I do have my 4SFB up to 96 now though oh and the knuckle-curve is ok to use as well

Re: RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

your 4sfb rating is at 77 and you hit 96 consistently?? mine is at 85 and i'm topping out at 94, 95 VERY RARELY. i've been bringing up my other velocities still. they're 72, 72, 74. maybe the circle changeup does hold you back some? i'll get my velocities up to around 80 and see how that goes

I'm hitting 97 now, my 4SFB rating is at 92, SPL rating it at 80, CUT rating is at 84 and my recently added knucle-curve is at a 72 velocity rating.

Re: RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

Ok, I have a question. I have a 4SFB, Circle-Change, and Cutter.

My 4SFB sits at 95, and can hit 97.
My Cutter sits at about 93, and can hit 95
My Circle-change sits at 79, and has reached 82.

All 3 pitches have 99 for velocities.

My question is this......

Can I NOW add a palmball to my arsenal, or will that throw off and decrease all my other pitches? I know a palmball causes problems, but what about AFTER the fact? Will it still mess it up?

I'm not sure about after the fact if it will effect you negatively or not my advice is to creat an alternate save and then put the palmball in one of the saves. Go into a game and try all your pitches out. This way it doesn't ruin your entire RTTS. When you try this could you post the results back to me? So I can update Knight on the problems and workarounds for it?

Thanks and hope this works for you

Yeah, I will do that as soon as I get 200 pts, which should be in my next start.

Re: RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

Ok, good news. I added a PALMBALL to my arsenal, and tested it out....

All my pitches stayed at their prior velocities. 4SFB was popping in at 97, cutter at 95, and circle-change at about 81-82.

Not sure this is normal, as I am not that familiar with palmballs, but it was being thrown at about 87-88. To my knoweledge, that sounds very fast, but maybe I am wrong.

EDIT: I just added a change-up as well. Again, all my pitching velocities stayed the same. My change-up came in at 87-89 MPH. I assume the palmballs and changeups start at a higher MPH, and then as you add to the velocity stat, it gets slower. Will test that next....

That is quite fast for a palm I used to use a palm all the time and was hitting 85 at the highest, but maybe the high velocities for your other pitches is doing this, check back later with me and update me on the speed of it once you improve its velocity rating. Hope it works out well for you

Re: RTTS Pitching Velocity Problem (Solved)

Ok. Like I said in my previous post, my PALMBALL was sitting at about 88 MPH. I have since added a lot of points to it's velocity, taking it from a 34 rating to a 89.

PALMBALL velocity went from 87-89 to about 82-83. So it DID drop slightly in velocity, but not as much as I thought it would, and especially considering I more than doubled it's velocity rating. Maybe this is right, but like I said before, I don't know much about palmballs, but I thought they were basically like a knuckleball in terms of velocity, so I thought I would be seeing low-mid 70s.

Oh no man a Palmball is a type of changeup, it goes 74-84 MPH(average and on its own). if you go to the options in the front end of the game you will see game tips click on that and then pitching after your in pitching go to the very bottom that is a list off all pitch velocity ranges and breaks.
