    It's not about skill level or realism for me...it was just plain 'FUN' to play with classic rookie guess pitch on. I'm missing it mainly for multi-player.

      so far I havent been too effected by it. I think I loved it so much because I used to play with the pitch speed slider maxed out and I needed it to be able to catch up to a fastball. I left the pitch speed slider alone and Im still raking in RTTS with the new way, may even have to bump up to veteran LOL!

        Yeah, I've noticed the same. I'm not really affected by the lack of rookie guess pitch, but it just isn't quite as fun playing with friends as it was in years past!

        I heard that it was a glitch, because in the tutorial it clearly states that guessing location is not available in Rookie Mode. Hopefully they fix it!!

          [1] I always turn it off as well. It ruins the game, for me ... turning it into just a basic "guess location, get told where the ball is coming" type of thing. That runs its course fairly quickly. In other words, it requires no skill.

          [2] It doesn't make it like real hitting. But, it does make it more entertaining.

            Have you tried using No Feedback?

            It's like it's not even there.

              Same here, i'm really having a hard time hitting the Ball, I cant lay off high fast balls and when I guess high i cant lay off low ones.. I suck and i'm not having fun. With last year's guess pitch I was tearing the cover off the ball and it was fun. Maybe I need to sit 2 feet from my 50inch Plasma to see pitches better.

                That's exactly the way I've been playing it.

                I NEVER use the "guess pitch" option at all.

                It's a bit of a learning curve, as it takes discipline and effort, but it forces me to REALLY learn to "read" pitches and hold back when it's not a strike.

                VERY tough at first but coming around nicely. Seems more realistic to me.

                  Re: I miss you Guess Pitch

                  This is a question for everyone who uses guess pitch like myself. What is your strategy? For me, I always guess fastball down in the zone first, basically because I have an easier time judging the ball when it's down. I feel like I have trouble timing a fastball when it's outside and rarely have the patience to sit back and drive an outside fastball the other way. Also I have an easier time hitting other types of pitches down in the zone when it's not a fastball and it's their secondary pitch, either changeup, slider, etc. Sometimes with a power hitter or runner on third with less than 2 outs, I'll guess up in the zone trying to get a pitch that I can drive in the air for either a homerun or sac fly.

                  The problem I've been having is that especially this year pitchers are around the plate more so I have a tough time working a count in my favor to where I'll get the pitch that I want, fastball down in the zone or up in the zone.

                    This is a question for everyone who uses guess pitch like myself. What is your strategy? For me, I always guess fastball down in the zone first, basically because I have an easier time judging the ball when it's down. I feel like I have trouble timing a fastball when it's outside and rarely have the patience to sit back and drive an outside fastball the other way. Also I have an easier time hitting other types of pitches down in the zone when it's not a fastball and it's their secondary pitch, either changeup, slider, etc. Sometimes with a power hitter or runner on third with less than 2 outs, I'll guess up in the zone trying to get a pitch that I can drive in the air for either a homerun or sac fly.

                    The problem I've been having is that especially this year pitchers are around the plate more so I have a tough time working a count in my favor to where I'll get the pitch that I want, fastball down in the zone or up in the zone.

                    I do the same thing, Guess Fastball Down. It's hard to layoff high fastballs but it's even harder to judge low pitches.

With last year's guess pitch I was tearing the cover off the ball and it was fun. Maybe I need to sit 2 feet from my 50inch Plasma to see pitches better.
                      If you need to sit 2 feet away from a 50 inch TV, you need to see an eye doctor before you pop that disk back in. On my rinky-dink 21 inch TV I can see the ball break when I'm sitting three feet away. You just have to have discipline and understand that even some strikes aren't hittable. Take a lot of pitches, and the game will reward you for your patient.

                          Been practicing for a week and still struggling. Going to keep going for another week, then maybe I'll sell it and pick up 10 again as the game just isn't fun anymore.

                          I've not got the time to practice practice practice. I'm just not that good at the game and it made the game enjoyable as well as giving me a chance to win.

                          Totally gutted about 11 as I loved 10.

                              I'm .500 right now with the Angels sitting at 8-8 mixture of simming and playing. I have yet to score more than 3 runs with them when I've played the games(4 so far) as my prob seems getting hits with runners in scoring position and sometimes just getting runners on base is a problem. Also I tend to overcompensate on the basepaths and get thrown out as a result. I've literally tried everything to score. I think patience is the key to score, but it's tough when like you said seven you don't have a lot of time, and also the computer pitcher seems to always be around the plate. Hopefully I can get out of this slump offensively because my pitching only gives up on average three runs a game lol. So basically if I can score, I can win, but that's a huge if. Not about to give up on the game, but it hitting is frustrating especially when you tee up a ball in your hitter's hot zone with solid and perfect contact, and Kendry Morales manages to only hit the ball 350 ft with a power swing.
