I have read a lot of the slider threads here. I have talked to quiet a few slider makers and threads that have broke down what the sliders do. In all the theories and analyst I still yet cant decide on the most realistic pitch speed and would like OS to help.
I did read the MLB 09,10,11 Pitch Speed threads and they did say 5 was the most realsitic as far as from mound to home plate and someone times it with a stopwatch but heres my problem.
I like 5 because it's easy to tell balls and strikes but at times as a batter some of those 93-99 FB look unrealistically slow. But the off speed looks ok but sometimes even the sliders don't break like they should.
As a pitcher using (Broadcast) using pitch speed 5 it just does not look right at all I was using Bud Norris FB is 96 on this game and just does not look right leaving hand going to plate. So I put it on 8 it's better but pitches still look slow going in to home plate from the pitcher.
So im using 10 and it looks almost perfect from the pitchers view but hav noticed some curve ball have this wicked looking movement not like a 12-6 but does some weird animation. So when I am the hitter the 95 and up looks exactly how they should and im not as late as I would think. The problem I am having is as the Hitter it checks swings a lot when im not trying to do that or I just cant manage any offense.
I know plenty will say its the pitch speed and that maybe be the case just trying to figure out what pitch speed is the best or preferred.

Well said, I honestly hate breaking open a game and looking for slider sets. Back when I was hooked on MVP, the only thing I would mod is the pitch speed. Which difficulty do you prefer to play on?
