Re: Pulse Pitching is too easy!!
CMH,
If I start a new thread on the topic you and I are discussing, could you link our posts and Bobhead's first posts to it?
I'd like a discussion on the intricacies of the Pulse Pitching interface, it's programming, future implementation, and possible 12 patching; without all of this other off topic nonsense.
Most likely, I can start a new thread tomorrow or Monday. This is a wonderful discussion and I would love the OS community's feedback on it. Would that be okay?Last edited by Heroesandvillains; 03-10-2012, 11:38 PM.Comment

Re: Pulse Pitching is too easy!!
ML pitchers could throw many more strikes if they wanted to. Its all about strategy in how and where they put the ball. I notice in this game when I start putting too many balls in the strike zone I am asking to get clobbered.Comment

I feel with PP, the ratings of the pitchers aren't taken into account as much as they are on Classic pitching. On PP I can literally make the circle as small as possible MOST of the time, no matter the difficulty. THEREFORE, the pitch goes exactly where I want it to go.
Now, does this mean I throw no-hitters with 20k's every game? No. But it does mean my strike percentage is above 70% every game. Yeah, I DO throw outside the zone on purpose damn near every at bat. But I don't throw WAY outside! I aim just barely out of the zone to get the batter to chase it, cuz that's what pitchers aim to do irl RIGHT???
OK, so when I aim just outside of the zone I am able to make the circle small so it goes pretty much right there. And the cpu MOST of the time it seems makes contact and fouls it off (which adds to the strike %).
On CLASSIC pitching, I don't feel like I have control over exactly how accurate the pitch his 100% like I do with PP, which I like! I want the Pitcher's ratings to matter, and with PP I really don't feel they do like they are on Classic.
On Classic, I aim a fastball right down the middle...hit the button, hold it until my controller vibrates and let go. The ball is pitched high and inside. I do the SAME exact pitch with PP, aim it right down the middle...hit the button when the circle is at it's smallest (easy to this even on Legend), and the ball goes damn near exactly where I aimed.
NOW, if I can do that with damn near every pitch I throw, especially fastballs, how can I have fun with that? So that's why I'm just going to go back to Classic.
I NEVER COMPLAINED IT WAS TOO EASY LIKE I CAN'T LOSE! I was getting my *** kicked by Miami one game with PP. That's not what this thread was created for. I really meant to say, PP IS TOO EASY TO PINPOINT YOUR PITCHES. Period.
Now, if you have any suggestions after reading this then go ahead. But plz don't bash me cuz I am saying how it is easy for me to aim my pitches and hit their mark. And for the record I am NOT complaining. I was only stating something, ending it with how I am going back to Classic pitching that's all.Last edited by DarthRambo; 03-12-2012, 02:58 PM.Comment

Re: Pulse Pitching is too easy!!
Considering the insane inconsistency of the strike zone with umpire tendencies turned off ("Perfect" calls my butt), I'd say PP doesn't cause more strikes than other modes. I'm on All-Star and I have plenty of pitches get called balls, certainly enough that I'm not pitching more than 6 or maybe 7 IP tops into a game with anybody but my top 2 pitches (Sabathia/Kuroda). The only downside with PP I've noticed is that with anybody besides my absolute best pitchers the game turns into a home-run derby for the CPU, and that's been a real concern to me as even bench guys with mediocre power will hit the ball 450+ feet against me with PP pitching.Comment

Two things:
I get that there's another thread on Pulse Pitching but this thread is still up because the actual topic is different. The first PP thread is about PP Impressions. This thread should be about ways to improve PP. I think when a member of the board is looking to discuss either topic they want to focus on what that particular thread is discussing rather than a mix of the two.
Unfortunately it's impossible to have members keep their comments directly to the topic of discussion. Which is why I have to ask that H&V not create another thread on PP and instead just help this thread become what it should.
If the discussion is pushed where members want it to go then it will go there. Already we are seeing a discussion on the differences between classic and pulse and why those differences are or can affect both the enjoyment level and challenge of the two modes.
My opinion is discussion on classic pitching has very little place in a Pulse Pitching Impressions thread. However, it does matter in a thread discussing the difficulty/simplicity and solutions to a game mode as advice will result from the discussion.

Re: Pulse Pitching is too easy!!
You do know that you should be throwing some balls intentionally to attempt to get them to chase, or use them as waste pitches to set something up for the next pitch. If you are pitching 3 hitters every time while putting it in the strikezone that often, with crappy starters, then you got a gripe. But if your getting hit, thats not pulse pitching being too easy, because you are getting hit, it's you not throwing balls to get hitters off balance.Comment
