Best value for pitch speed slider

[chilidogbeefcake]

Just wondering what everyone else is putting their pitch speed slider on. So far I'm liking it pretty good 2 notches above default, what about you?

Re: Best value for pitch speed slider

I get good value for pitch speed slider on one notch above default, 6.
Do a lot of batting cage sessions and my results are quitte good, so i stick for a while on this value.

This is what I use. Default is way too slow, but in my (limited) playing time, 6 is sufficient.

I find 7 to be good.

BTW - has anyone noticed that the ball travels to the plate and then there is this moment of hesitation right before it arrives at the plate? I'll swing at a pitch with what appears to be perfect time but the feedback system says I'm early. Kind of frustrating.

I had the same with pitch speed at default. After i pumped it up 1 notch i had some early, good and late timings, so i like the pitch speed for now at 6.

Re: Best value for pitch speed slider

Practicing on HoF in the cages on default speed, I am finding that I am early on nearly every pitch, even ones that I think I am perfect with.

I'm guessing they have slowed the pitch speed down slightly this year??

Will probably end up with a pitch speed of 6 or 7.

I played on a pitch speed of 3 in The Show '12 and will probably up it to default or higher this year.

To those new to the show.....there is no RIGHT setting as it has no impact other than how fast the pitch gets to you when batting. So, tweak this until your timing is consistently good. If you early on everything, move it to the right and if you are late on everything, move it to the left.

Re: Best value for pitch speed slider

So far, I'm at 7. I finally started seeing some decent results. I'm going to continue with this for now.

7 was still a tad slow. Pitch speed at 8 seems to replicate same timing as pitch speed of 5 from MLB 12.

Re: Best value for pitch speed slider

I'm using 9 or 10 this year.

About to post my slider set, which is always subject to change.

Ive only played one game on AA and for me default seems good.

Re: Best value for pitch speed slider

It's at 7 for me right now, might even go to 8.

Re: Best value for pitch speed slider

10 is really where you're going to see realistic pitch speeds. The nice thing is, if it's too fast, it won't effect the game at all. You can adjust this slider and not hurt the slider set. My set is set at 10, but it won't make a difference besides how well you can time up pitches.

I'm on 7 as well right now, on default I was way ahead of everything.

Re: Best value for pitch speed slider

Don't know about anybody else, but even with Pitch Speed at 7, I'm still ahead on most pitches. I very rarely square up anything with "good timing". Instead, I'm either early or just early. And the weirdest part is, when I think I'm late on a fastball, I end up having good timing. Very odd. I'm considering either raising Pitch Speed up to 8, or raising timing.

Any thoughts?
