One thing that worked

Re: One thing that worked

I'm concerned about stealing with pitch speed at 0. I just recently changed to pitch speed 0 and found that I have been able to steal at will with Andruw Jones and Renteria, and I hadn't had that much success before. Have people tested this out yet? I've read some random comments saying it wasn't an issue, but I'm not so sure.

Just take a 1-step leadoff instead of a 2-step leadoff. It works for me with arm strength at 0.

That's what I do, since everytime I get to 2 steps I get picked off. I'm still having way to much success with stealing, but it'll take more games to see if I'm just playing against bad catchers.

By the way, I love pitch speed at 0, so I don't want to have to change this. I may have to increase throw speed, and deal with the consequences of laser outfielder arms.

So I've been doing some basic testing, and I don't know if changing pitch speed or throwing speed makes too much of a difference when it comes to stealing. I'm worried that stealing may be too easy. Anyone have advice?

I was shocked after playing a game with pitch speed at zero. It was very challenging to get hits. I only scored 3 runs on 6 hit's in the game I played using that setting. I don't rack up huge #'s at the plate but I can see how it helps some guy's if they are getting too many hits. It really surprised me that the pitchers can still be very effective going down that low.

Is that the only thing that is changed in the setting? So all I do is change pitch speed to 0 and leave everything else at default?

Pitch speed...related to excessive foul balls to the backstop?

I was wondering after reading through about three pages in this post, that in addition to cutting down on singles to center, would tweaking the PITCH SPEED also help cure the oh-so-frustrating situation of foul balls hit to the EXACT spot at the backstop?
